Bezdek Suggests
Abolishing Coal
After Touchdown

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Dec. 25.-"I
should dislike to see any radical
changes made in the football rules,
particularly with reference to the for
ward pass" said Hugo Bezdek, head
coach of the Penn State team and
director of all athletics at the Blue
and White institution, to-day.
The only suggestion that the popu-
lar Penn State coach would offer to
the rules committee concerns the goal
from touchdown. Bezdek believes that
this feature of the game could readily
be abolished, because it merely de avs
the game without adding in any way
to the enjoyment of the spectators.
There is no way for an opposing team
to block the kick and it simply tests
the ability of one man to make good on
"set-up." according to Bezdek.
There may be some points in favor
of the goal from touchdown that | am
not aware Of" he said, "and, in any
case, l would want the committee to
think over the matter for at least a
as Penn State is concerned, it makes
no difference, for we can always man.
age to develop some one to kick the
goals"
The tendency is always to make
changes too hurriedly, according to
Bezdek During the last three or
four years the general public has come
to understand the game as it is played,
and any radical changes in the rules
would merely be confusing" he said.
CAS- for curbing the forward pass, it is
better as it now stands. The offense
and defense have been just about
equalized, yet fast, wide-awake team
is now able to defeat big, powerful
eleven. That is as it should be.
"Moreover, the forward pass is one
of the most enjoyable features Of the
game from the viewpoint of the spec
tators. In our game with Nebraska
thirty forward passes were attempted
about half the number of plays-and
spectators declared it to be the great
est game that they had ever witnessed.
1t is not too powerful a weapon be-
cause, there is always defense against
it, If you remember correctly, an in
tercepted forward pass enabled Penn
State to beat Dartmouth this year."

Princeton Grew
May Enter Next
Race on Hudson
Tigers Likely to Row at
Poughkeepsie if the Dis
tance Is Three Miles

NEW BRUNSWICK, N j.. Dec. 25.-
There Is every probability that the
United States Naval Academy will en-
ter its crew in the Poughkeepsie re-
gatta next June, if the stewards for
ward the invitation. Commander D.
l.. Howard, chief athletic officer at the
Annapolis institution, said that the
Academy authorities we're not only
willing to do so, but are anxious to
place their crews alongside OF those
of Cornell, Columbia, Pennsylvania and
possibly Princeton.
In an interview with a local news
paper man Commander Howard said
1--WE will be very glad to enter our
crews in the Poughkeepsie regatta; in
fact. we are anxious to do So The
date of the Hudson River classic is
ordinarily after the second Saturday
in June, depending on the tidal condi
tions in the river.
"The scholastic year at the Naval
Academy usually closes the first Sat-
urday Of June. and all midshipmen
embark on ships for their summer
cruise, which is part of the neces-
sary training at the Academy. If this
cruise should be along the Atlantic
coast it would be possible for our crew
to enter the Hudson race and join the
practice squadron at a later date. but
if the cruise is 60 the Pacific Coast or
to Europe it will be impossible to have
the members of the crew join their
respective ships. In view of these con-
ditions, it is impossible for me to stata
definitely whether the Navy will bs
able to enter the regatta this year"
Professor j. Duncan Spaeth. director
of rowing at Princeton University. re-
fused at this time to define Princeton's
attitude toward the PoughkeepS.e event,
but the intimation was made that the
university is considering entering this
classic if the present three-mile dis
tance is maintained.
Professor Spaeth is strongly opposed
to the four-mile course, an agitation
for which has been started by the Co
lumbia rowing authorities. He said:
81 disbeiieve in the four-mile race,
not primarily because of the physical
strain involved in the distance. Men
can be trained to row four miles with
as much safety as one mile. There -
danger of overstrain in all athletic com
petitions unless men are carefully
prepared for the distance, but in order
to row four miles with safety the
period Of training has to be so much
extended that it conflicts with studies
and college schedules" "
