Eastern foot ball officials have met
and have recommended that the foot
ball rules committee consider ways
and means of making the game less
dangerous. This because of the in
creasing mortality which the game is
showing year by year.
1t is all very we'll to say that there
are more deaths because the game is
played on a larger scale, but the fact
remains that in most cases fatalities
occurred among institutions that had
been playing foot ball many years.
One great reform tending to make
the game safer can be instituted. 1t
relates TO the movement of the ball
The instant the forward passing of
the ball has ceased the referee should
blow his whistle. And to make sure
that play ceases the umpire and
perhaps other officials should blow
whistles and check up on the referee.
Any player who makes a tackle
after the forward movement of the
ball has ceased should involve his
team in a minimum penalty of IS
yards. And so with players who pile
on, no matter how short an interval
after play has ceased.
Any ball carrier who attempts to go
forward after his progress has been
stopped should cost his team a similar
penalty.
Referees are altogether too lax in
blowing their whistles anyway; one
we'll known official is notoriously slow
In this respect alone many serious
and minor injuries could be avoided if
officials were alert and mindful of
their responsibilities.

BASKET BALL SECRETS
BY Sol Metzger-

From all positions except within a
very short distance from the goal the
most successful basket shooter will be
the one who shoots for the basket and
not for the blackboard in order to get
a bank shot. Practice shooting for
the basket and try to loop the ball
over its front rim.
You will be surprised to find how
many more goals you will make in fol.
lowing this method than in trying to
bank them off the blackboard. 1t is
mostly a matter of luck to be able
to hit the right spot to get the cor
rect bank.
AS the above illustration shows, a
ball looped for the basket opening has
more chance of scoring than one
bounced off the blackboard. There are
too many angles and impediments to
overcome when trying to bank off the
blackboard to warrant following that
plan of shooting.
