THERE Is a youngster on the Texas
/ School Of Mines eleven who has
been going along all season playing
q splendid game Of football, az times
showing flashes OF power and bril-
llaney. at all times showing promise
OF developing a great game at his
position and who has been only cas-
ually mentioned thus far.
Now comes reports from Tucson.
Of the Texas school Of 1Iines-Arlzona
University game. which show that
this youn Ester has found himself and
broken forth with the powerful game
Of which he gave promise Through
that game, against the most power
ful opposition which the Mines line
has faced. he has just about earned
a position for consideration on the
second all-southwestern team
The youngster 70 whom We refer
IS Ed Love. husky tackle.
. IS VERY VALUABLE IN
TEAM DEFENSIVE WORK.
Any time team as powerful as
the University Of Arizona aims play
after play at one man. only 70 have
each play piled Up at the line, IL
proves great play on the part OF that
individual. When a team highly sue
/ cessful against its opponents IN near
~ all other respects, so successful
that 1t gains ground elsewhere al
most at VIII, deliberately abandons
its attack on the individual IN ques-
ton, u speaks volumes for that In
dividuaL IL q virtual confession
that the lone Individual Is too power
ful Tor the combined attack OF the
team.
when the player in question
can not only compel such a team
10 abandon its attack on him but
can also break through its pow
erful line on many occunionE and
Hhatter plays behind the line
when HIS play stands forth 30
prominently, IN spite Of his being
on the line that even the members
OF the opposing team consider his
work az the outstanding feature
Of the day, then that player O.
entitled TO more than passing
consideration in the selection OF
n sectional team.
All OF these things Ed Love did IN
Z last Saturdays game at Tucson. To
attempt 10 add TO this record would
be to descend TO the supernuous and
to lessen his performance.
MANY CRITICS ANSWER
FOOTBALL SUMNER
A number Of replies have been re-
ceived anent the query recently pro-
I
taken in case o. interference with a
player attempting 20 receive a for
ward pass behind his own goal line,
with the final whistle sounding while
the ball Is in the air None OF these
replies have been correct
This IS one OF the answers. received
from Albert E SlEal, manager OF the
W G. Walz Co.: In answer to your
sumner" in Friday evenings Herald,
beg to cali to your attention the
following rule. This rule Is from
Spaldlng's 1913 football rule book
edited by Walter Camp:
page 80. Rule XVII Section BOD
under penalty, Any Illegal interfer-
ence with player attempting to re-
ceive a forward pass behind the goal
line shall be penalized by giving the
ball 10 the Offended side on the one
yard line, II the team defending the
goal be the offender
7 trust this is q clear answer to
your question"
The question does not seem to have
been understood as 10 Is not clear.
While 10 answers the first half OF
iEe question 10 does not deal With
I the time phase. Hhteh g really what
makes the question difficult
Captain Bob Neyland's answer. the
correct one. Is this; The ball does
not 90 into play at the one yard line
or anywhere else. Nor is Go awarded
70 the offended side as a touchdown
The game Is over and there is nothing
more 20 It. The rules make no pro-
vision for the allowance OF time
elapsed while a play Is in motion.
even though an illegality prevents
the proper completion Of that play
The mere fact that time expired while
the bah was in the air would not
cause the ball to be brought back and
time allowed for replay, any more
than &c would were the same thing
TO occur al the opening Of the game.
Z The fact that the penalty deserved
may not be imposed on this particular
play. simply shows a loop-hole IN the
rules.
