LOOSE BALL"
GAME TAUGHT
AT MICHIGAN
YOst Drills His Men in New
Style of Play; Gives up,
Safe Style of Play
GET. PASSING GAME

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. 24.-(By
the Associated Michigan is
preparing to play what is technical
ly known as the "loose ball" game of
football if the practice of the first
two weeks is any indication of the
style of game the followers of the
veteran coach Yost will present on
the field. No Michigan eleven in the
days of Yost has had the practice in
handling ball in all positions that
the present eleven has received in
the comparatively short time it has
been at work.
Yost has been known for years as
conservative, as a man who play
ed the game safe" Asked if he ex-
pccted to assume different style Of
game if the opposition afforded him
the loose bounding ball, the veteran
mentor replied that his team would
play the game as they found it,
loose ball game, kicking game, rum
ming game, any way to advance the
pigskin."
AS far as practice indicates, how
ever, the slogan, Fall on the BALI
is a lost command on Ferry Field
While some slight practice Is being
given in the art of leaping through
space and completely smothering a
loose ball, far more practice is be.
ing given in the art throwing the
body so the ball may be seized and
the player roll to his feet ready fol
a dash goalwards. To perfect the
backs and ends in this department
they are lined up ten feet apart ant
a back must catch the rolling ball
and recover his feet.
The men also are being. trained al
picking up a ball while running a,
full speed, and to gather up without
stopping ball bounding from thu
ground.
Added to this game with loos.

drilled in the catching Of forvArs

by the same battcd ball? This query
is the result of a news item recently
published which read:
"Odd plays have been more numer-
Gus than even this year. The cham
pion performance of the lot, it is as
serted, was double play in which
no fielder touched the ball. 1t hap
pened thusly: A batted ball hit a
runner going to third and then car
omed off and bounded against rum
ner on his way to second and under
the rules both were out for being
hit by batted ball"
Can it be done?
THE INTERPRETATION.
It is an impossibility for two run
ners to be retired on the same bat
ted ball, because of being nit by
same.
In the situation described there
were runners on first and second.
Both were trying to advance on
ball apparently hit toward short
stop.
The moment the batted ball
struck the runner going to third
that runner was out for being hit
by batted ball. The moment he
was hit, play was automatically sus-
pended and no runners could ad;
vance unless forced to do SO to make
room for the batsman.
The fact that the runner going
from first to. second was hit, re-
ceives no consideration.
The runner on first who was hit
is not out, but is entitled to advance
to second, in order to make room fol
the batsman, who get, hit wheI
the base runner was hit by his
batted ball and is therefore entitled
TO first

FIocking Cologne

COLOGNE, Germany, Oct 28.-- (By Associated Press.)-The city ot- ficials of various towns held by the separatists are Hooking to Cologne for safety. Owing chiefly to Premier Baldwin's Plymouth speech, disap-
 proving of any dismemberment of Germany, word has gone out from official British circles that the separ- atists here in the British zone are
 cfassed as what might be termed ''undesirables."
 Berlin government officials have arrived it is said, and are holding
 daily conferences with these eXilsd officials in an endeavor to determine on a plan of action for the future.
 The Cologne burgomaster, Herr Adenaur, is chairman of a committee
 of 15 state officials, whose task is to oppose the Matthes movement In every way possible and to work out a plan to restore economic conditions. Herr Adenauer is known as favoring an autonomous Rhineland. but he opposes the present movement, as he considers its leaders not the real rep
 resentatives of the masses of the people.
 Burgomaster Overhues of Duren,
 with his family. has reached Cologne, having been released from jail by the Matthes men conditionally and
 warned that he would be placed in jail again if he returned to Duren.
 The town of Duren has been given up
 as lost for the time being, but Herr Overhues still hopes that he has not lost the job of burgomaster forever.

Holds System Responsible For Dry Enforcement Break

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 2S.-Gov- ernor Pinchot in a letter tonight to Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary Of the Treasury, placed the blame for what he termed the "breakdown" of fed eral prohibition enforcement in Penn sylvania upon the federal permit sys- tenn. He declared Mir. Mellon, as Secretary of the Treasury, has the power. by control of these permits, to make violations substantially 1m- possible"
 The people of the state. the gov ernor asserted. "are being affronted by open defiance of the law" which he said is mainly due to the quanti- ties of liquor turned loose rom plants operating under federal per mits over which the state has no control.

Pinchot's letter said, have the power to cut this flood off at the source by revoking these permits and by refusing to issue others except upon conditions sufficient, with hon est enforcement, to make violations substantially impossible. l, as gov ernor of Pennsylvania, have no such power"
 Pointing to President Coolidge's re- quest and promise of cooperation at the conference of governors in Wash ington October 20, he asked MT. Mel lon two questions relating to federal cooperation:
 Whether in all federal permits hereafter issued in Pennsylvania the Secretary will require as a condition that state police shall have access at any time to any plant holding fed eral permit, and whether. the Secre- tary will cancel the permits of plants making and using alcohol, including breweries, upon proof of violations, submitted by state officers.
 The governor listed the names of several breweries in Pennsylvania which he said violated the law prior to 1923 and which were granted per mits to operate this year, and of oth- CTS whose federal permits he said Nave not been cancelled although they $ere caught this year by the state F6lice.

 Vigilance Committees Busy.
 Practically all advertising clubs have had vigilance committees for years and these have state and national headquarters. The service has grown to such an extent that the combined costs of the vigilance work last year were great They have not stopped with observance of matter in publications, but have instituted personal work of obser- vation and elimination. An instance MT. Holland said, was case In Los Angeles a week ago. A fake stock promotion organization, lodging the federal law and stunning news papers, instituted a scheme of pick ing up prosperous looking people, taking them for a motor car trip to- Signal Hill, getting them excited about oil stock, then stopping at tent for dinner where a spellbinder handled the proposed victim. The re- suit usually was a sale. The adver- Using club in Los Angeles carried a double truck advertisement ex- posing the whole plan, and in a few days of the 19 automobiles employed to haul victims, only two were left running, and these two are believed to be out of business by now.
 The Texas oil fraud expose of re- cent date was due to activity on the part of the vigilance committees of advertising clubs, the national or ganization and the Better Business bureau organization. Information these institutions gathered and placed where it would do the most good, led to the arrest of more than 100 persons.
