POOR OLD PASS
IT'S DUE FOR
A TOUCH Time
Fasteners Frown on Open Style Of
Play and Have Much Data for
Rules Committee.

There's going to be a merry old
scrap on when the football rules
committee convenes to make its an
nual pilgrimage through the rule
book with a fine-tooth comb. The
coaches and gridiron authorities
are getting ready for a big session
and although nothing much has
been announced. 1t Is understood
some Of the fasteners are going to
make a try at reducing the possi-
biiities of the forward pass.
What action will be taken toward
limiting the pass cannot even be
guessed at, since 1t is impossible to
tell exactly which faction is lined
UP for limitation. 1t is known that
l'arks Davis. former Princeton ath-
lete and now recognized as the
leading football statistlcian. has
collected reams of data on the pass
and will fairly swamp the commit
tee with information when they call
for 1t. He has refused to state
whether or not he favors the pass
as 1t is today.
Chief argument against the pass
Is that 1t enables scrub teams to de-
feat well trained machines through
the medium of one well timed pass
This is admitted, but against this
argument is the public's approval
Of the open game, and that fac,
that during the past season football
drew larger crowds than ever be-
fore In single season. 1t might
safely be said the public was fol-
the open game.
Some few Of the eastern mentors
have been heard to say that the
pass has robbed the game of finer
bits Of strategy because teams will
not longer bother with perfectine
intricate end plays, when they car
present a couple OF good passers
and receivers. These complaints
have not been made formally and
thosew ho made them may not ap.
pear at the meeting because they
have nothing better to offer.
Through the middle west and fal
west there Is every reason to be
lieve followers of football are per.
fectly satisfied with tho game
Some Of the western mentors fee
that the rules might specify littl,
more clearly by what Is meant b,
"ungentlemanly conduct" but the,
would not change the fabric OF tn.
sport weaved now in the code. Gler
Warner, Pittsburgh coach. Ia quoted
as saying the football rules are 0

be changed for fear Of lessenin,

stocking Streams With Fish,
in Regular Meet.

Definite steps which will secure
the long-expected charter of the
Rock Island Rod and Reel club and
have it on hand when the club next
comes together, Feb. 23, were taken
last night in the regular meeting of
the club. The board of directors,
it was decided. will meet Thursday.
and at that time will prepare all
preliminary papers needed to Sc
cure the charter. These they will
send to the state authorities at
Springfield and undoubtedly the in
strument which incorporates the
club will be In the hands of the Off
GERS by the next meeting.
Several points pertaining to the
securing OF fish to restock Rock
river were also cleared up. No ac-
ton on this can be taken until the
charter is received. but after last
nights round table discussion, IN
which several members displayed
considerable Information on the
matter. the body feels capable of
making this the big issue at the
next meeting. At that time the
formal application for the ship
ment OF game fish will be made. and
that business Is expected to be dis
posed OF In very short order. From
remarks that were exchanged last
night it seems that securing the
| fish is assured.
