SURLES TAKES BLAME

Saturday, according to a report from
Baltimore. !.
The play in question occurred in
the fourth period and resulted in 2
l5-yard penalty for Army. closely fol-
lowed by the Marines march to vic
tory, after Sd Corps forward pass
had been intercepted on the next
play
Noyes had been criticized for in
viting what appeared to be a certain
penalty. but his tutor declares that
he dld not violate the spirit of the
rules and that he played a deceptive
play, which was only one of a num-
ber which had been assigned the Cd
Corps field general for use against
the Marines.
An extract from rule 81, section :,
OF the official foot ball rules. states
IGencealing the ball beneath the
clothing or substituting any article
Tor the BALI shall result in a loss of
10 yards, or for fragrant conduct, LOGS
of Is yards and disqualification
However, the Army mentor is posi-
tive that the ruling was not in accord
with the rules, and that Noyes did
not err in the play in which he had
been coached.
In part. Maj. Surles' formal state
ment said: "A little reflection will
show that the desire to pin the fault
for the loss of the game on an indi-
vidual has been misdirected.
The much-talke 'headgear'
stunt was much misinterpreted When
Noyes tossed his headgear he was is
yards from the rest of the team He
lad been coached to move out there
and create diversion. and tossing
his headgear was one of the methods.
in order to hold the attention OF the
Marine secondary defense.
How any official could construe
that headgear 10 yards from the cen
ter as ball substitution is a mys-
terry"
Asked if he was familiar with rule
2l, section I, Maj. Surles replied that
he was. but he reiterated that a false
ruling had been made.

Last year there were in vogue the

This year the Eastern intercollegiate
Basket Ball League. that includes

blazed the way for the acceptance of
the rules by those formerly opposing
them Others are expected to follow
IN snort order. Colleges, schools and
clubs of the District of Columbia
group are almost certain to adopt the
free throw law.
The 17-foot-Zone rule stipulates that
when personal foul is committed
against 4 player who is inside the
zone line seventeen feet from his own
goal while in possession of the ball
either in the act Of holding or drib-
bling il, he shall be granted two free

this rule if foul is committed

OF shooting for a basket regardless
of whether he is inside or outside

! s, snil mat 1t gave certain teams-thosc
possessing single player highly pro-
ncient in making free throws-a dis
tinct advantage over Others
Under the rule adopted by the Joint
committee and likely to be accepted
by teams hereabout, a tea m in order
70 be able to take full ADVANTAGE OF
ITS opportunities for scoring must de-
veiop all of its players in the arr Of
making free throws.
This free throwing by the player
against whom the foul was commit
| ted applies, of course, only to per
sonal fouls. Any player niay be Sc
iected TO make the loss following a
technical foul. But since the adopt
/ ion of the "violation' clause toch-
meal fouls are quite few.
How New Rules Read.
The rule on personal fouls and the
zone penalty of two free throws
,, reads as follows:
"A player shall not hold. trip.
charge or push opponent,
whether or not either player has
possession of the ball; EI0ck an
opponent; charge in and make
hodiiy contact with opponent
who is one OF two opposing play
ers having one or both hands on
the ball. Penalty: Two free throws

zone and who has possession of
the Eafi-that fs, when he has con-
troll of the bail through holding
Ii or dribbling il; or IL committed
ON player outside his own goal
zone who is in the act of throwing
for goal"
AS heretofore, one free throw shall
be allowed when the foul is COM
mitted under any other condition.
The rule designating the manner
in which free throws after personal
fouls are to be attempted reads as
follows:
.When n personal foul has been
called the player upon whom the
foul was committed shall at-
tempt the free throw or throws;
but i'm case this player in so in
jured that he must leave the
game his substitute must attempt
the free throw or throws. If the
player who hns been fOuIed il to
leave the game by reason of dis
qualification or for any other
cause except injury. he shall Mt
tempt the free throw or throws
before leaving"
BY accepting the free-throw rule in
addition to the 17-foot zone rule
this season teams of this vicinity
will be in full accord with the
rules adopted by the joint committee
and assure better team game than
basket ball has been heretofore.

THE COMMUNlTY'S REFUSE

One Of the important problems OF
city and town life is how to dispose
of the vast quantity Of refuse Great
ed in the course OF daily living.
There arc kitchen waste, table re-
fuse, waste PAPER, ashes, tin cans,
manure, etc. If there Is no ade-
quate system for caring for such re-
fuse, the same is peril to health,
fire hazards are created, and tie
neatness and beauty Of a commnni-
ty are sacrificed.
An article in the American City
describes the refuse removal systems
in use in Iowa cities. in 10 of them
varying from 900 to 1876, 900 pop
ulation, the average cost OF these
methods was but 81 per capital for
the year 1921, though four Of those
including collected only garbage,
and three collected it for only five
to six months
The cost of efficient system for col
Letting all these wastes is slight COM
pared with the benefits gained.

VACATION JOBS

The majority Of the school and
college boys now look for summer
jobs through their vacation period
They are tired OF having to depend
upon their dads for every dime and
nickel, and regular sum coming in
weekly seems an end greatly to be
desired.
They sec the older fellows swelling
around with automobiles and treat
ing the girls, etc, and they will
work hard to acquire little Of this
independent position for themselves
where they can afford to be liberal.
The amount Of pay that they get
counts heavily in the choice Of sum
mer employment.
Yet the job that pays best for the
time being is not necessarily the
best thing for a young fellow to seek
during his week OF summer freedom
The jobs that young fellow takes
up during successive summer vaca~
tions constitute II change for stu
dent to try out different kinds OF
work, and find out what lines appeal
to him most Some occupations that
had looked very desirable to him ON
the outside, may seem after one sum
mer's experience not to be worth
any more effort.
A fellows success depends very
much ON whether he makes the
right choice Of a calling, Ii he gety
into the right thing. he will 80
ahead easily like a boat sailing
down river, If he enters some
occupation to which he is not
adapted. he viii bump up against
obstacles at every turn.
The main thing for fellow to
consider in seeking such chances, is
not the amount Of pay envelope that
he draws, but the value Of the ex-
perience that he gets and the light
it throw on his future career. He
should seek the kind of work to
which his abilities best fit him,
even If it hardly supplies him with
all the spending money he desires
for the brief summer period,

Soft money would be only another
way for the politicians to hand
the farmer the same dirty deal as the
basket manipulation. In the first case
the farmer unknowingly gave bushel
and a quarter of his product, and in
the second case he would have to give
a dollar and a quarter Of his money,
for dollars value in return.
In Germany they have carried the
manipulation Of the mark SO far
well, it seems hardly believable, but
IL they did the same thing to the dol
lar, it would take over ten million in
paper money to buy that land. The
primary producer can raise his prices,
but not fast enough to equalize this
drop in the gold value Of unsound
money. That is where the catch
comes in.
