Saunders Tackle
A Wild Stunt

Bill Saunders. the Navy line
man who set the football world
agog by tackling EieIson after
rushing on the field from the
side lines in the Navy-Great
Lakes game Saturday, performed
a wild stunt, according to Frank
Newberry, coach Of the Army and
Navy Prep elevenhere. Newberry
coached Saunders year before
last and the youngster made the
team here and in his plebe year
at the academy.
AS remember Saunders"
says Newberry, "he was rather a
hot-headed youngster. He PLAYED
good football here and last year
at the Navy. He must have lost
his head, because he never was
coached here to perform a wild
stunt like that"

All these arguments are futile. No
rule in the code covers the incident
at Annapolis Saturday. Referee Hen
cage acted correctly and quickly.
His action received the immediate
support of the Navy supporters
Indeed, the Navy was sorry for the
incident. but was sorrier that no op-
portunity was given for the AIddies
to prove their craftsmanship. Had
Referee Heneage made any other de-
cision, ordering the teams to line up
short OF the goal line, the MiddieR
were prepared to stand up with arms
raised and allow Great Lakes to
score without opposition. They be-
lieved this right and therefore the
only thing to do.
As for the contention that Eielson
should not have been permitted TO
down the bail behind the goal posts,
on the assumption that Navy players
might have prevented that, had Saun-
ders stayed OF the neld Of play.

fifteen yards ahead OF the nearest
Mildly when tackled by Saunders.
Nothing could have prevented his
reaching the goal posts.
1t is quite possible. however. that
the rule makers will incorporate a
paragraph in the 1919 code tina: Will
effectually cover such a contingency
as Saturdays game furnished, though
il is not likely to occur again for a
generation.

They'll Bar Hal Chase.

No action is expected to be taken
officially in the case OF Hal Chase

with gambling on ball games IN
which he was a participant II is
whispered that q "GentIemen's agree
ment' will be made not TO sign him.
He will be allowed to drop out OF
baseball, that's all.
Chase has been q picturesque fig
ure in baseball In his prime he
led all firstsackers for speed and
brainy playing. He has personal
magnetism a-plenty and was oopu-
lar with the players and the public.
Then, all off . sudden. he became
most erratic in his actions. and he
lost most OF his popularity. both on

destined to fade from sight, far
