The referee rules on the question
of players of the offensive side being
illegally in motion at the instant the
ball goes into play; whether and
when the ball has touched the ground
Of any free kick; on an illegal man
carrying the ball forward, and
whether g team has made an Illegal
feint to snap the ball. He also marks
the point of all touchdowns and
touchbacks, sees that the ball is laid
on the ground with its long axis
lengthwise of the field, and is the
only individual who can order time
TO be taken out. He also attends to
it that nobody starts" anything be-
fore the ball is snapped I
This splendid individual Is also the
sole authority on whether a team is
hiking" the runner (helping him by
lifting, pulling or pushing) and as to
whether either team is using inter
locked interference.
He is the one to say whether the
defensive team made a forward pass,
whether a legitimate passer was Ave
yards back when he made it, whether
more than one pass was made in the
same scrimmage, and whether the ball
hit the ground for an incomplete I'd
pass. on this last point the Umpire
has concurrent jurisdiction. The ref
cree attends to the ceremony Of meas
uring the ball and the distance gained
when necessary.

players offside. And he is the heavy
villain who yanks the teams back
with a l5-yard thud when they hold
their opponents or interfere fouliy
when running with the bah.
Concurrently with the referee and
linesman he judges whether there has
been any striking, kneeing, kicking Of
opponents. etc And they are all
equally competent to call down any
side line coaching.
The umpire says whether the line

By j. w. Heisnlan.

TROM first to last Of every foot
n bail season there is lot Of
wonder and curiosity on the part
Of the untutored as to what the diff
ference is between a referee in foot
ball and an umpire.
Time was when it was a perfectly
simple thing to explain the difference
between these two officials and their
duties; but in the last half dozen
years so many new plays and rules
and penalties have crept into the
game that each official is nowadays
burdened with the responsibility Of
enforcing three or four times as
many rules and observing more than
twice as much az he was formerly
called upon to enforce and to observe.
The result has been that the duties
Of these two now overlap in great
many places. az they are given con-
current Jurisdiction over great many
points in the game.
Formerly all one had to do TO ex-
plain the distinction between the Of
ficials duties was to say that the
referee wa. Judge OF the ball while
the umpire was judge of the players,
In q very general and rough way
that ia still supposed to be the chief
distinction. but as ! have Just init
mated, it no longer holds good.
Unless one went in for a mere YER
batm excerpt from the rule book, it
would be quite out of the question 10
undertake to point out all the cases
in which the referee may be called
upon to exercise sole authority and
all those which are the umpire's sin
gle concern: for there is not a rule,
nor a section thereof, in the rule
book that is not specifically desig
mated TO come clearly under the juris-
diction of the one official or the other
or both II will be only possible to
point out in a general way here what
the distinction there is in the work OF
these two and of the head inesman
THE main work OF the referee is to
, keep up with the ball and its
progress. He keeps track of the
Towns, ana announces tnen TO the
teams after each one, and states the
distance remaining to he gained to
make il FIRST down again.
He alone decides whether q touch
down or any other point has at any
stage OF the game been scored by
either team.
The referee is the one to start the
game, by the blowing of his whistle
after asCertainins that both teams are
ready: and he must ask the cap
tains of the two teams whether they
aye ready 10 resume play after each
occasion when time has been taken
out for any reason whatever. 1t is
then his whistle again that causes
the festivities to resume and the
wheels to go around.
This official also attends 10 all

of making, as they should, g bona f11e

Along with the other officials, the
umpire says whether there has been

unauthorized persons walking along

THE head linesman marks on the
side line the spot on which the
ball was downed after each down,
and has entire charge of the assist =.
ant linesmen who handle the 10
yard chains. He also assists the ref
cree to keep track of he downs.
The linesman sole judge of the
time of the game, and of the time
taken out, and be keeps a record OF
the number of times that each team
takes out time in each half
He is Judge of out of bounds on tina
side he occupies both with reference
to runners carrying the ball and in
the case of forward passes or kicked
balls going out of bounds. He has
also authority to call offside play.
From the above one can see how
difficult 1t is to satisfactorily Off
Ciate a game even in the minor ca
paCity of head hnesmen, and why Il
is that there is so much wrangling in
so many games. One great reason IS
that many men who attempt TO Off
ciate do not really know the rules
| It certainly requires a deal of care
full study to get them all down pa t.
and not many men are willing TO put
in the hard work on them that they
should if they contemplate Official
ing in games.
AS time goes nv we will hope that
there will come to be an ever increas-
ing number of good officials. When
we get them the games will move
along more smoothly and rapidly.

it is expected the water will begin to
recede within the next few days.

New School for Smoke Bend.

A meeting of patrons of the Smoke
Bend public school was held in
the schoolhouse Monday evening OF
last week for the purpose of dis
cussing the need of new school
| building and devising ways and
means to secure the erection of such
a structure. The gathering was call
ed to order by Miss Bertha Michel,
principal Of the school, and Henry
| Dugas, member OF the school board
from the first ward and leading
young business man of Smoke Bend,
presided as chairman. After a full
discussion of the subject it was de-
cided to give fair during the early
days Of April for the benefit of the
building fund, and Mr. Dugas was
unanimously selected as manager Of
the entertainment and given full au-
thority to appoint committees to CO.
operate with him in arranging the
details. A meeting of the ladies of
the community will be held shortly,
when an auxiliary organization
will be formed and steps taken
to assist in planning the proposed
fair.

"a as s'the worst-suited building in
the parish for school purposes" and
the patrons of the institution are to
be commended upon their determi-
nation to erect a new and modern
building to replace the present dilap-
| idated structure.
