Football Officials Disagree
On RuIinQ In Recent Battle
Referee Blowers Contends That LIST Infantry Should Have Been
Awarded Safey-GIenn Jackson Says Play Should Have
Been Called Touchback- Bowers Statement Points Out
How Unfair Would Be to Award Touchback Such Play

One OF the big arguments of the sea-
son is now waging in football circles,
and before it is ended there promises
to be some interesting happenings in
the football world. 1t all comes about
through the decision made by Referee
Blowers at the recent Y. M. G. A.-1st
Infantry game at Schofield.
Davis of the Y. NJ. C. A. team was
forced behind his own goal line to
punt. He punted and the ball struck
the crossbars, bounding into the air.
It was supposed that Victor of the LIST
Infantry had fallen on the ball, but
Referee Blowers says that Y. M. G.
A. man recovered the ball, and as a
consequence he called it safety, Civ:
ing the LIST Infantry two points.
Jackson's Statement
Glenn Jackson says that Blowers
made a wrong decision in this case and
has the following to say about the
play:
The account of the football game
between the LIST Infantry and the Y.
M. C. A. gives the score as three to
two in favor of the Y. NJ. C. A., and re.
ports that the losers won their two
points by safety caused by a kicked
ball hitting the goal posts and then
being fallen on by 1st Infantry man.
Some one must have made a mis-
take. In the first place, if LIST Infan'
try man fell on the ball and the play
counted for anything it would have to
be a touchdown. If Y. NJ. c. A. man
fell on it, and the play counted for
anything, it would be a safety. But
the point is that ANY kicked ball strIk.

Blowers Makes Statement
To defend my decision, Section Is
of Rule VI, page 134, of Spalding's Of

that if any kicked ball strike the goal

back provides that the impetus which
sent the ball to or across the line
must be given by an opponent a
situation which is impossible with the
side defending its own goal, putting
the ball in play by punt from behind
its goal line. This was the situation

Supposins we take Mr.. Jackson's
interpretation. A team behind the

that the football rules committee
would allow this ruling to- be upheld
Would Gain 20 Yards
If a team was defending its own
goal, for example, on the five yard
line, the quarter back could drop back
of the goal line and hurl the ball at
the post Then instead of being pen
allied, the team would be given the
ball on the 20 yard line. In this way
the team would gain at least 20 yards,
and no team would ever be inside OF
the 20 yard line for over one play.
