FAST FOURS |NS.A. RACE
Georgetown and Hopkins to Have
Star Half:Milers in Feature
of C. U. Games.

When the teams representing johns
Hopki ins and Georgetown meet at the
Catholic University games at Brook-
land Thursday night in the race for
the two-mile championship of the
Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Asso-
citation. an unusually keen contest
should result Each of the universe

milers. and from what those of the
teams who ran in the Baltimore
games Saturday disclosed in their per-
formanceS the contestants Will be IN
the best of condition for the gruellng
test at Brookland. This event is to
be the feature of a we'll balanced pro-
gram that is attracting the cream Of
track and field talent in this section.
Georgetown has nominated Con-
molly. Brewster. Fitzgerald. Marr and
Walsh for it's team. while Hopkins
has named Edwards, Millfcan, Can
non. Mullikin and Somerville. The
fours selected from these nominations
speedy clip. Connolly won the South
Atlantic mile in good time Saturday,
and Fitzgerald finished in third place
Mul1ikin, the Hopkins entrant. was
second. These men practically are
certain choices for places on their
teams
The invitation fifty-yard dash for
college runners will bring out stel-
lar field. Georgetown will be repre-
sented by lie Gendre. who starred at
Baltimore, and WertZ, another good

Puzzled rs to kick-On.
There still is. in spite of explana-
tions that have been given. a distinct
misunderstanding on the kick rules.
Dozens Of letters come during the
season complaining that "the op-
ponents kicked the ball off and then,
although no defender of the goal
touched it. the kicking side came
down and secured the pigskin behind
the line and that the official allowed
a touchdown"
In this the official is absolutely
right and the rules have so stated for
years.
1t is also believed in some places
that when a punter. standing back of
his line of scrimmage, kicks the ball,
and there is a man behind him. that
although that ball be kicked directly
across the opponents goal, the man
who stood in the rear of the punter
may run up and get the ball. How
ever. the moment punt crosses the
goal line it becomes a touchback
Another point that never has been
satisfactorily settled is the inf1iction
of penalties for fouls occurring while
the ball is dead. For instance. sew
eral letters have come in to this
effect: The man makes a touchdown
and is thrown behind the goal line.
He turns around and hits the tackler,
the foul occurring after the scrim-
mage is ended.
Now. the question the committee
must settle is whether the touchdown
should be taken away and half the
distance to the goal line given and
the player disqualified.
Other Important Questions.
A considerable number of questions
arose last season as to the rulings
relating to "roughing'' a man who
has made a forward pass and illegal
interference. including what is COM
monty known as clipping"
AS to suggestions for new rules or
direct changes in the present code.
there is a feeling that the game is
now so well understood by all sec
tions of the country that anything
like radical legislation would be a
serious mistake.

The umpire was forced to call the game
