Tampa Camp Chatter

One OF the rockies of the Ma
tionals was watching a gang taxi
ing down the electric lines at Plant
Field the other day, and noticed
several men going round the park
with the pole spikes on their feet.
He asked who they were. "Oh, some
of the new members of Tommy
Leach's team. He gets 'em into con-
ditlon by getting the grounds in
shape, was the reply. L thought
they must be, as l see they are
wearing their baseball shoes, but

Howard Shanks will soon have the

position on the team, as he has

sjtion. Some day some catcher is
going to get knocked out, and How

ceiving.
The Swedish trio of twirlers-
Walter johnson, Eric Erickson and
Leon Carlson-are all working fine
and 1t looks like good season
for Sweden.
The Colts will journey to st. Pc
tersburg by boat when they go to
that city to play Indianapolis.
Sam Rice Is covering as much
ground as he ever did-and that is
some ground-and he is hitting them
through the box at terrific clip.

advice.

RULES CHANGED.
BY COMMITTEE.
Punt-out Gone, Team Can
Select Spot Clipping a
Man Is Curtailed.

New York, March 13.-The sec
ond half of the meeting of the
football rules committee was held
At the Biitmore at noon today. The
session '-s short and snappy and
when the books had been closed
no particular harm had been done.
Tne only and the biggest radi-
cal change is-that in the rule gov
erning the goal after touchdown.
hereafter this point virtually will
be handed a team.
In other words. the punt-out af-
ter a touchdown is gone, wiped
out passe. There will be no more
punts from the corner of the lot
In order to get into position. The
team from now on can select its
own sweet spot. 1t can adjust the
leather in any part of the field II
pleases for shot at the posts. eve
assume t. is means any part on or
back Of the fifteen yard mark. }
But then no team would care to
get much nearer for the try than
fifteen yards.> as the chance would
be lessened accordingly. Whether or
not this rule will help the game
any remains to be seen. but at
least II gives both teams an equal
ShohCC
Aside from this change the next
most important revisions were those
which will penalize clipping" or
Indianing and roughing the forward
passer. The institution of the lat
ter means that the open game is to
become even more open. Accorded
the same protection as the kicker,
the forward passer will have more
time to aim his throws and un-
.doubtedly more passes are going to
succeed.
Whether or not the passer is
roughed will, OF course. rest with
the official. The infraction OF this
rule will cost the offending team
fifteen yards. One of the best means
OF breaking up the forward pass
was to have the forwards rush in
and crush the passer. IL they got
in fast enough and slammed the
passer often enough, towards the
latter, part OF the game the passes
generally became wild tosses. To
break up the passing game on this
end now the passer will have to be
tackled while he has the ball in
hands. Various officials will inter-
pret this man handling differently,
and II will be interesting to see
what the results will be.
Clipping, instead of being abol-
ished entirely, is curtailed. The rule
now reads:
Clipping a man obviously out of
his place" is an infraction OF the
unnecessary roughness rule; PEN
atty Is yards. 1t was felt, probably.
that to forbid clipping entirely
would interfere with tackling. Many
players, Casey OF Harvard for in
stance, in bringing a man down.
never use the arms. but clip the
runner by hurting their bodies at
the opponent But topping oppo-
nent who Is entirely out of the play
and who Is idly standing by. so to
speak, by clipping him from behind.
Is interpreted as unnecessary
roughness: and must go.
An attempt has also been made
to curtail the use of the double
starting signal employed by many
elevens to draw a team offside and
thereby to get easy Ave yards.
Hereafter, on shift plays, when a
man comes to stop on shift play.
he must have both feet on the
ground after the shift" the ruling
reads.

Next X. o. Bill Brennan is third

uled matches. The Pacific Coast

Jimmy Wilde-sickly and languid

But he swings and hooks from all
angles. is q small master mechanic

Terry McGovern to extend the Brit
Usher and force him to show his
wares. And we have no second

We're pinning our hopes on
frankie Mason.
We've seen frankie Mason work.
He's a wonderfully clever little fell
low and hits hard. But there's a
doubt In our mind as to his ability
when matched with Wilde.
The bout in Toledo will decide the
question.
AS we said before, our hopes are
on Mason but we're not sure about
our money.
They say Georges Carpenter Is

small package Of INT like Wilde.
