SOMETIMES COSTLY
Haan. of Harvard. Pulls Boner in
Army-Notre Dame Game.

New York, Dec. 1O.-Every so often a
football referee boots" a decision and
dire things happen to the team that he
makes the unconscious victim, as is
shown by the Army-Notre Dame game of
a few weeks ago.
And the saddest feature of it Is that
teams wronged by laundering officials
cannot appeal In baseball and other
sports contests are ordered played over
when 1t is proven that a glaring foozle
by judge has harmed one of the COM
petitors. But the football Lawmakers
have joshed themselves into believing
that the enforcers of their rules are in
failible beings. And so the team that
loses an important battle because an
umpire or referee is ignorant Of the reg
ulations is deprived OF a chance of re-
dress.
A. Charles Ham, of Harvard. was the
offending official In that Army-Notre
Dame affair. He showed lack of knowl-
edge of one of the most important Of the
new rules. His ignorance gave Army a
30-yard gain to which it was not entitled
and a minute or so later, Army converted
the gift into a touchdown, which cinched
the combat II Ham hadn't made a
"boner' the result might have been
vastly different.
In the third period, with the score 10
to in favor of Notre Dame. Army had
Oliphant made a forward pass to House,
who was thrown on Notre DANES 35-yard
line. making an apparent gain OF 30 yards
However, it was discovered that a Notre
Dame man had interfered with the ball,
making the pass incomplete, and Notrs
Dame liable to a 15-yard penalty for in
reference.
Rule H. section 3, states that in case
of Interference the ball must be taken
back to the point of original play and the
penalty inflicted from that spot. There
fore, Ham should have moved back the
pigskin to Army's 35-yard line, advanced
1t 10 yards to midfeld and given it to
Army there.
But Ham showed he lacked even casual
acquaintance with that rule by doing this
amazing thing: He penalized Notre
Dame from the spot where the incom-
plete pass had ended. thus moving the
ball from Notre DANES 35-yard line to
Notre Danes 20-yard mark, giving the
ball to Army there. Army, therefore, had
the ball on Notre DANES 20-yard line in
stead of on midfield where the ball be-
longed legally.
Army, taking advantage of the 30-yard
gift from Haan, forward passed the ball
over the Notre Dame line soon afterward,
which made the score. Army, l3; Notre
Dame, 10 And the touchdown cinched
the game for Uncle Sans soldier boys

ASSOCIATION FRIDAY
Grand CentraIs and Royals to Meet
Tomorrow Night.

President Michael Scanlon, OF the new
ly Organized Washington Billiard Asso-
citation, has announced that the associa-
tion will hold a meeting next Friday
morning at IL o'clock, at the Palace Al
leys, when it is expected that every room
keeper in the District will be present.
At this meeting the committee appoint
ed to draw up a constitution and set Of
bylaws will make its report and matters
OF more than passing interest to those
connected with the game will be dis
cussed.
1t is planned to start the Palace pocket
billiard tournament next Wednesday aft
ernoon. Manager Harry Armiger has an
nounced the handicaps for the ten
entrants, as follows: Murphy, 100; Cha
pin, 100; Thomas, 80; Bradley. IS: ROsen-

Nick Chaconas, the popular proprietor
Of the Center Market Cafe, and captain
of the Center Market Cafe quint, is out
with a challenge to meet any team in
the city, the games to be rolled at the
Grand Central Alleys, any afternoon.
Nick is one of the best sports connected
with the duckpin game and is always out
to help the game along in any way pos
sible. He not only captains the Center
Market Cafe team. but also shoots with
the Grand Centrals and one OF the Quints
In the Arcade League.
Tuesday evening a battle royal is prom
ised followers Of the duck game, as on
that day the Grand Centrals and Royals,
OF the District League. are booked for a
set at the Grand Central Palace.
While neither Quint is making any
predictions as to just how many games
they are going to win, there nevertheless
is an air Of confidence being displayed by
both teams that would indicate that a
red-hot match will be on tap.
As is generally the case when two
sterling aggregations. as these are, hook
up in Crucial set, some of the punk
lest kind of pinning develops. and the
coming set-to may be no exception to
the rule, although the dope points to
good games, 1nasmuch as both quints are
now travelling at top speed.

HOHAWKS ARE BEATEN
BY ALL-STAR eleven
Indians" Go Down to a l3-to-0 Defeat
Before Koogles' Team.

The unbeater Mohawk Athletic Club
leven, whose string of victories have
asted over two years went down to de-
eat yesterday before Koogle's All-Stars
n an interesting game at Union League
Fark by a 13-to-O count
When Johnny Blair. the quarter back
for the All-Stars raced IS yards up
he center of the field on the opening
xick-oh for a touchdown, this was the
irst time the Indians goal line had
5een crossed this season. and the second
counter registered against them in the
history of the eleven.
With but three minutes left to play
the All-Stars started a slow but sure pa
rade up the field, pounding the Mohawks'
line until they had carried the ball to
the 4-yard iline, where Lyons fumbled
and Cohill recovered the ball. Dyer, of
the Indians" then dropped back to
punt from behind his own goal line, the
bah being blocked by Ahermy. of the
All-Stars. and his teammate, Cranston,
fell on the ball for the second touch
down of the game.
1t was a seesaw game. with honors
about even, excepting for the sensational
run Of Biair's at the opening and the
steady rush the AkStars made during
the closing minutes. The Indians"
threatened in only one period this coming
the second session when the Mohawks
rbtained the ball in midfield and by the
inc plunging of Hager and a 30-yard
un of Boyer they brought the ball to
he l2-yard line, where an aerial attack
vas attempted but failed and the ALL
stars obtained the ball.
The MOhawks were on the defensive
Turing most of the battle with Blair hav-
.ng the edge on Hager and Dyer at the
punting game.
The Mohawks were outweighed by the
All-Stars, but the defense which they
put up would do credit to any well oiled
college eleven. HaObenstab, Carroll and
Blair featured the offensive playing for
the All-Stars, while Boyer and Hager
were the most consistent ground gamers
for the Indians" The defensive play
ing of Ahermy and Mungeon was the
best for the All-Stars, while Durity and
Cohill turned back the All-Stars' back
