rule CHANGE
FOR FOOTBALL \
IS SUGGESTED
Two Important Points Not
Covered at Present,
Says Expert.
ii, at left, and Capt. j. s1arten, at

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 16.-While
football followers here think there is
little likelihood of any radical changes
being made in the football rules for
the 1919 season, they seem certain
that two important points will be
brought to the attention of the rules
committee when it meets this winter
to consider the matter, according to
George Varnell of this city. Varnell,
q former University of Chicago grid
iron player and Northwest Intercol-
legiate conference referee for several
seasons back, is regarded as ar au-
thority on the game in this section.
zone is q result of a disagreement
which following the game be-
tween the University Of Pittsburg and
the Cleveland naval reserves, when
time was called for the end of the
possession of Pittsburg on Eleveland's
vineyard line" said Varnell. Pitts
burg, which lost the game, claimed
five minutes remained for play in the
period when time was called. As the
rules now provide, the ball was put in
play from KICKOFF at the beginning of
the third period, the same as at the
beginning of the game.
THE suggestion has been offered
that, to prevent a repetition of such a
situation. play be resumed at the be-
ginning of the third period from
where it was halted attthe end of the
second. This would e that a team
which has worked down the field in
the second period and registered q
decided yardage advantage over its
opponent would not lose it for lack Of
a few minutes of play. Such a system
now is employed at the end OF the
first and third periods"
The other instance where a. change
is needed. according to varnelTs be-
lief, arose in the Annapolis-Great
Lakes game, when an excited substi-
tute ran off the Annapolis bench and
tackled a Great Lakes player who
was free and on his way to a touch
down. The officials allowed a touch
down.
Technically the rules do not cover
the play. although two different rules
in the book might be used by officials
in such a situation" he said. Meth
er Of the rules. however. permit the
awarding OF a touchdown which, be-
yond a doubt was the fair ruling in
the Annapolis-Great Lakes game"

LABOR AND THE MOONEY CASE

The wise labor unionist will try TO keep his union
from adopting such an attitude on the Mooney case as
to take the false position Of seeking to defeat the ends
tect the individual in defense Of his rights.
The developments in the Mooney case were suca that
a very large number Of people would like to see the man
tried over again. in order that no basis may exist for any
further question. If it can be demonstrated by credible
testimony that the man is guilty Of completely in the
want him to hang. If his guilt cannot be established IN
this manner they would want him set free.
But we must not jump to the conclusion that be-
cause, as it appears. the law as it stands does not pro-
case, the man is therefore a good citizen. He is nothing
OF the sort. He is an undesirable of the worst type, and
tho throwing of bombs is the ordinary and natural &C.
tivity of men Of tine class to which he belongs. And, as
is perfectly natural, t.. vicious and violent are especial
ly loud in their demands for Justice" for this man. If
he had had justice he would have been deprived at least
OF his liberty long ago.
1t is worth while just now, too, to remember that not
long ago thousands Of decent labor union men were
deeply Inundated as a result of the mistaken course into
which they had been led, OF insisting on the innocence OF
the Mcnamara brothers, whose criminal activities are
notorious. From all over the country protests continued
to be sent in against what was termed the railroading OF
ing in the volume of protests until the guilt of the
scoundrels was established beyond all doubt by con-
fession.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Jan. 16.-Pre-
