BIG ATTRACTION
IN WRESTLING LINE
DR.. Roller to Attempt to Throw John
soE, Mattson and Bailey in One
Hour Tonight.

The real big thing in the wrestling
line is to be the attraction at the
Auditorium tonight, when Dr. Ben +.
Roller, champion of America, is to
attempt 70 throw three men in an
hour with tenminute rest between
each fall, if he so desires. The men
ere Albert johnson. Mattson and
George w. Bailey, all of Brattleboro.
The match was promoted by Mr..
Bailey, who said this morning that tile
sale of tickets had exceeded even his
expectations. He Will be at the box
office of Festival hall all the after
noon and early this evening, where
those who have not obtained tickets
may do so.
DR. Roller has been seen here be-
fore and his intelligence and ability
nave never been questioned. Being Il
| physician, he knows anatomy and
where to apply holds that many other
fairly good wrestlers do not under
/ stand. He is always in superb con
dition and his physical build has APP
pealed to all who have seen him. lie
believes in fair play and does not lower
the wrestling game to the degree of a
/
hard pressed.
While none of the three local men
ranks with Roller in the wrestling
world, all know considerable of the
game and Bailey weighs much as
the physician and has learned lot
about wrestling in the last year or
I two. Besides that, his physical
strength is greater than the doctors 5
and it is very likely that the ply
stefan wrestler, if by arrangement
Bailey is the last to tackle him, will
have to put to use all of his knowl
edge to win out inside of the hour al
lowed, for each of the other men will
stand him off for few minutes al
least.
Bailey is so well satisfied that he
, will break even on this venture that

Regarding Numbering Players.

The committee will consider a wide
range of matters pertaining rather TO
the handling of the game, as it We're,
than to the actual playing rules. There
is the proposition, fathered by Walter
Camp. TO return the old field Judge TO
mis- former prestige and glory, on the
theory that three officials are hardly
sufficient with varsity football as fast
as il is today. Then there is the ques-
ton of no longer permitting the coach
70 enjoy the sideline position, although
there is small chance that the barring
of the coach viii be seriously consid
cred. OF all these miscellaneous sug-
gestions the one that is likely TO re-
quire the most time for its considera-
ton, and TO have the largest follow
ing, relates to the numbering of the
players A year ago the committee
dismissed a request for the numbering
III the men. with the comment that it
was q matter for individual elevens TO
consider, rather than for action by the
football rules committee. In the past
year the demand for rule that shall
compel all men TO be designated when
they come upon the field has become
almost insStent

that of a former Princeton captain
who would have the goal, when drop
ped within the 25-vard line mean only
q polnt-no more than goal kicked
from touchdown-with the maximum
for field goals counting these points,
that value being allowed only when
the kick is successful when made from
behind the 4o-yard line. Another sug-
gestion; with the same ultimate object,
rs that the goal posts shall be set back
10 yards from where they now stand,
the argument of the sponsor for that
idea being that, in addition to making
the kicking of a field goal more diff
ficult it will tend also to increase the
safety of the players when scrimmag-
ing near the goal line.
Legislation AS to Forward Pass.
That the forward pass, a method Of
offensive play that has been much
more highly developed by some teams
than by others, will come up for con-
sideration is foregone conclusion.
The possibilities of the forward pass
have already been so thoroughly ex-
plotted and its advantages-and its
disadvantages-so generally argued
that there is no occasion for going
over that ground, even briefly, at this
time. The best opinion of committee
members is that the forward pass
rules will stand after the meeting just
about as they are today. But there is
a demand for some rule by which it
will be impossible for player, under
the rules, to deliberately throw the
ball in front of him when finding
that he is covered in sincere effort
to make a forward pass, or to delib-
erately throw the ball out of bounds
when prospective punter finds he has
no time TO get off kick. The ma
jority of the committee is naturally
opposed to a team escaping more
severe penalty than merely the loss OF
misplay
