BALL MAY BE HELD
FOR GRID KICKOFF
BY WALTER CAMP.

(This is the second of series of dis
patches by Walter Camp. the father
of American foot ball" describing the
rule changes made by the foot ball
rules committee, of which he is d
member, in an effort to speed up the
game)
NEW YORK, March 31.--Most dras-
tic of the changes in rules made by
the foot ball rules committee in their
determination to speed up the game
and eliminate stalling. was that pro-
hibiting the use of any form of tee"
for kicking.
The old rules prohibited "artificial"
tees. but this prohibition did little to
check the practice of kicking from a
prepared mound. Starting in with the
preparation of an earthen mold to
hold the ball for the kickoff. players
began to adopt the practice of scurry-
ing about the field collecting sod and
earth to build mounds for placement
kicks from scrimmage. This used up
much time,
There were. too all sorts of evasions
of the rule relating to artificial" tees,
and much trouble was caused by rul-
ings on just what "artificial" meant
So. with one fell swoop, the committee
has cleaned up the situation by for
bidding tees altogether.
The only concession granted to the
kicker is that he now makes his kick
off from midfield instead of from the
40-yard line. The general effect of this
legislation will be to make the line get
down the field faster, because the
kicker will not be able to get both
height and distance at the same time.
There will b an added amount of
practice necessary on the part of
kickers this spring to master the art
of kicking from the ground. 1t is per
misSible for players to hold the hall
for the kicker, however, and this prob
ably will become the general custom
for the kickoff. The holder Of the ball,
after performing that duty, then will
go back as safety man in case the
kick is returned.

CREW OF EX-NAW

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 31.-The
success of the movement to enter an
eight composed of oarsmen of the
champion Naval Academy crews of
the past few years in the Olympic

the veteran coach, there is no one in
sight who would be suitab BILE. No
officer who worked under Glendon is

EPIPHANYS BEATEN
IN COURT THRILLER

Washington can boast OF no title
winner in the South Atlantic A A
q. basket ball tournament being held
at Baltimore. The Epiphany Junior
five was the remaining local team to
be eliminated in the Baltimore games,
having dropped a stirring 19-to-18
match to the Alora Club Saturday
night in one of the semi-finals.
Trailing at half time, 10 to 6, Epiph-
any came back strong in the last
twenty minutes of play.
Dean was the most accurate shot
for the Washington quint. He pock-
eted four court goals and as many
foul shots.
Epiphany missed several chances to
put the game on ice. as it's players
frequently heaved easy shots that
went astray The Epiphanys were
the only local quint to figure in the

good IN ali the sports IN vogue Qurin
While the basket ball team was de-
feated by Columbia and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania ii is fair
to consider that the naval five was
under unusual handicaps early in the
season, and that its effort always is
to get to the peak of its form for
the final game, that against the Mill
tary Academy. Many who saw the
naval team in action at West Point
believed that il would have held its
own with any college aggregation
on that day.
The team will lose Mckee and
Barnes by graduation. Mckee. who
played guard this season undoubtedly
is one of the best college basket ball
players. Barnes rounded into a bet
ter form than he ever had displayed
during the last two weeks of the
season. In spite of these losses, there
is every indication of another strong
team next year.
The squad will be greatly strength
ened by Shapley, a brilliant guard,
who was lost to basket ball when
he broke his collarbone playing foot
ball against the University of Wash
ington. 1t also will have Craig and
Day, forwards, and Leggett guard, of
this years team; Parrish and Signer.
promising forwards, and Proudtit-
Hamilton. Kern and Hull. all promis-
ing youths from the plebe team.
With basket ball as with the other
sports, the one year rule, prohibiting
first-year students from joining the
varsity squads, has had an excellent
effect. 1t is the general opinion, that,
not only have the athletes in the
class had much better training and
preparation for future usefulness, but
the coaches and other athletic officials
have been able to Gull valuable men
from the class to a far greater de-
gree.
The wrestling season is over, the
team having won five matches tied
one and lost none. 1t appears to be
tied with Pennsylvania State for the

The wrestling team loses by grad
uation its captain. Ericsson. who
wrestles in the 145-pound class. and
Vieweg, l75-pound class. Both are
good Wrestlers, and their loss will
be felt. Dyson of the present varsity
squad, and Hubert-Jones of the
plebes, are the most likely successors
of Ericsson. while Litig, a youth of
unusual strength, is booked to take
Vieweg's place.
The regulars who will again be
available are: Davisson and Metzler,
115 pounds; Timberlake Captain

Getting roll on your drives de-
pends greatly on the height and
fight of the ball, also on the way the
ball is hit. A player who hits his
ball from the outside to the inside
will certainly get more roll than
player who plays from the inside to
the outside. but the last named has
the control and direction and not
the former. (The diagram makes
this clear.)
The way you have drawn up the
lines is correct The reason a player
gets more roll by hitting his ball
from the outside to the inside lies in
the fact that the face OF the club
IS decidedly shut: by that | mean
that the faceof the club is travelling
slightly turned down instead OF be-
ing open. The shut face gives one
more roll, but poorer direction.
