WALTER CAMP DISCUSSES THE
 GRID RULES INTERPRETATION

ply in the case of try at goal from touchdown
 Regarding Forward Pass
 The rule regarding a forward pass, which becomes incompleted behind the goal line of the passer, was ruled to apply whether the pass was made from the field of play or from behind the goal line. Officials were required to observe strict interpretation of the rule forbidding the offensive side on a forward pass from interfering with the defensive side.
 It was decided that on the kick off If a player of the kicking side touches the ball.. even without catching it.. before 1t has advanced 10 yards. the ball Is not in play and must be kicked off again. The officials at the meet ing determined to interpret clip ping" or cutting down from behind by throwing the body laterally across the legs of a player not carrying the ball as unnecessary roughness.
 "Mnn in Motion"
 After much discussion of man in notion clause of the rule governing shift plays. the meeting voted to re- quest the rules committee to approve and suggest a wording for the prin- cipal expressed In the following
 In all shift plays an interval of time shall be allowed to elapse sui ficient to permit the officials to see, first. whether the play is legal. and second. to determine whether the bal was snapped while the men were Tn motion" It Is hoped this will lead to additional clarity regarding the phrases, man in motion" and both feet stationary on the ground" in the rules governing shift plays or mer in motion before the ball is put in play.
 All of these are most important matters. for it's upon the rules and their interpretation that the game will rise to further high standing or retrograde to a less satisfactory posi- ton. The question of a balance be-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-25

tween attack and defense is vital one and the game in this regard will be studied closely this year by many experts. There have been those who believed the forward pass had made such advances as to oversahwodw the running game and who believed foot ball was charging into basketball. So far these contentious have not been proven, but the game of 1921 will be closely watched on account ot them. And it is on the basis of the rules and their interpretation that the coaches must devise their plays and train their men.

 New York, September 24.-The chief subject of discussion in football cir cles in the last few days has been in- depreciation placed on the rules by the meeting here of some 200 of the men who will have to enforce these rules this season and who will have to train their teams under them. A number of important points were agreed upon by the coaches and of- ficials assembled.
 The rule regarding the substitution of players was felt to need clarifica- ton In connection with the phrase the change has been made" It was voted that officials would rule that as soon as the substitute had reported to the official and had designated the player who was to retire, that the change had been made
 The Fair Catch
 Another point which was discussed arose in connection with fair catch when the time for the period elapses immediately after the ball is caught. The rule permits the team making the fair catch the privilege of their kick. although they may not put the ball in play by scrimmage. The ques- tion arose whether, if the kick was made and the goal not scored, the ball became automatically dead immedi- ately after itzwas kicked.
 It was ruled that the ball remains In play after the kick and the op- ponents may catch it and run 1t back. Or. in the case of tumble, the side kicking 1t may recover 1t and may atcually make touchdown. In other words. the time of the period con tinues until the ball again becomes dead and the referee blows his whistle. This, of course. does not ap-

Wisconsin and Texas Assail
Federal Commission For
Debating to States

WASHINGTON, Dec. L. Validity
of sections of the transportation act
providing for establishment of the
railroad labor board were attacked in
the supreme court today by counsel
for Texas in presenting arguments in
the second of the great rate cases.
The Texas suit, which primarily
seeks to have the court determine the
power OF the interstate commerce
commission to regulate intrastate
freight schedules and passenger fares
was called as soon as argument was
completed in a similar case from Wis
consin
r. L. Beauchamp, of counsel for
Texas, said that state assaulted also
the commissions assumption of au-
thority to regulate railroad construc-

line, or to supervise financing Of car
riers incorporated by the state and
to which the state had donated large
tracts of land.
Concluding argument in the Wis
consin case, NJ. Bolbrich, counsel for
that state, declared the government
had fixed interstate rates solely to
produce the return which the rail
roads were declared by congress to
be entitled to on their investments
and regardless of disparity between
these rates and intrastate rates.
