Wittner Protests
Against New Rule
I'm Football Play

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 1.--Defects
in the 1922 football ruling, which pro-
vides for a try for goal after touch
down, were pointed out here to-day by
AL Wlttmer, star center on the 1921
Tiger eleven and now an assistant
coach to William Roper. He points out
that the rule will often wark hardship
on the stronger Of two opposing teams.
His statement is as follows:
ITO try for point after touchdown
is oNe of the important plays in foot
ball since the change in rules began to
take place. The ball is put in play on
or back Of the five-yard line by for
ward pass, scrimmage or field goal.
Since the field goal appears to be the
safest way to obtain the point more
drop kickers must be developed. Coach
Roper at Princeton has realized this
fact and ordered ten candidates to re-
port every day an hour before regular
practice. These men are placed fifteen
yards behind the line and kick place
ment and drop.
IF the opposing team is off side OF
commits foul the point is given to the
team attempting to make the goal
whether it is successful or not, while
on the other hand if the goal was COM
pleted and foul occurs on the kicker's
side the point is lost Both teams must
be extremely careful on this play not
to foul.
"The rule undoubtedly should be
abolished because weaker team car
tie score with two field goals after Its
opponent has scored touchdown. If 6
touchdown counted seven points and 6
try for goal disbanded all Together, the
relative strength of the teams could be
more fairly determined.
Again, the rule as it stands puts toe
much power in the hands of the of.
ficials, not to speak disparagingly OF
the officiating because it is of the
highest caliber, but the umpire or ref
cree are often in error and foul called
at this point may win or lose game

stroke, 220-yard breaststroke and 44O-
yard free style swims, the aim being

1Ho Neid Wnlcn started in this race,
conducted by II Popolo, would have
graced local championship event, and
the last five miles of the test developed
one of the closest struggles seen here
abouts in several years. Titterton and
Kennedy raced abreast for the most
part Of those long five miles, and it
was only in the last fifty-fve yards that
the break came, and then luck played
an important part in the result.
Rounding the turn into Fifty-third
Street, after the long run down Eighth
Avenue, the green-bedeck Titterton
and Kennedy, whose gray locks offered
no contrast to his white running togs,
were on even terms. An automobile
slowed up just as Titterton made the
turn. He barely flashed by ahead of
the machine. Kennedy, only inches be-
hind, very wisely did not make the
attempt to cut in ahead of the car and
he lost four yards before getting clear
for the run to the tape.
Those four yards beat the grand old
man of the running game, but Bill did
not offer the incident as an excuse
When the officials expressed their
regret at the Inadequate protection from
the traffic Bill dismissed the subject
with this remark: Frank would have
won anyhow. He is much younger and
far better runner than l." Score one
for clean craftsmanship.
Ten yards behind Kennedy came AL
bert Michaelson, while in fourth posi-
tion was William Stokely Titterton's
time was 1 hour minutes 3 seconds.
The course led from the clubhouse,
up Eighth Avenue to Fifty ninth Street.
up Broadway to 155th Street, over the
viaduct into Seventh Avenue, down to
10th Street, over to Eighth Avenue
and down to Fifty-third Street. then in
about fifty yards to the rear of the
clubhouse.
About thirty started and thee arly pace
was alternated by ten or twenty runners
before willing pathfinder volunteered
At Sixty-seyenth Street Stokely was
leading. The negro runner was closely
followed by Michaelson, Titterton, Ken
nedy and Ben McCreedy, in that order,
and the balance Of the field being we'll
back, it was fairly certain that the
winner was among this little group.
Kennedy. who only last week beat
Frank Zuna, Titterton and big field
in an eight-mile race, by way of cele-
brating his twentieth year in compe-
tion made his bid at 146th Street, where
he went into the lead. Titterton was
second, two yards back, and Michael
son close third. From this mark
until the last fifty yards Kennedy and
Titterton held the race safe. Michael
son tried hard, but could only hang on
to third place.
Jimmie Klaus, who has run some very
good races under the st. Anselm' s
colors finished in ninth place, but was
disqualified. The checker reported
that Jimmie alternated motor and foot
power, and although the athlete denied
that he had hooked an automobile
ride, the referee ruled against him.
