laughed to scorn.

a woman to skim across the water

BIG TEN TO ASK ACTION
BY NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Thistlethwaite of Wisconsin Had Devised Change to
Prevent Touchdowns and Long Gains on
Ball That Is Batted Forward

on the field of play or behind the de.
fensive goal line"
Whether or not the rules com
mittee will meet the change remains
to be seen.
AS far as the batting of a ball for
ward is concerned it should be noted
that this point has long been covered
under rule XIV, section Z, which reads
"A player may at any time bat the
ball in any direction except toward
his opponents goal"
The penalty is the loss of the ball
to the offended side at the spot where
the foul occurred. But one exception
is noted to this rule. 1t follows:
I'm case Of ball in the air from
pass, any eligible player of either
side may bat the ball in any direc-
ton to prevent an opponent from Sc
curing it."
Rule Not Specific.
Now the rules committee has held
and many Eastern officials maintain
that section of the rules absolutely
covers the point which Thistle
thwaite made. But does it?
1t is quite clear that if a player
deliberately bats ball forward and
the action Is so recognized by the
officials. a penalty may be imposed
But in the exception to this rule, set
down in italics in the foot ball guide
it is stated any player of either side
may bat the ball in any direction to
prevent an opponent from securing
it.
Now suppose Team A makes a
lateral pass. Team 3 breaks through.
In the melee man either of Team
A or Team B bats the ball over the
goal line. Under rule XVII this most
certainly Is a touchdown. And it is
equally certain that the rules com.
mittee intended no such thing to hap
pen. Common sense, at least, makes
this seem certain.
SO the best thing for the committee
to do would be to adopt the Western
Conference change, or else amend the

THAT supplementary foot ball
rule which the Western con-
ference has adopted applies to

rule which the Western con-
ference has adopted applies to
Il a ball which is batted by a
player or is DETECTED from his
hands or body in such manner that
it falls to the ground in advance of
the spot where it was first touched.
AS set down in the foot ball guide
rule XVII, section B-the rule reads
as follows:
"On any such pass chat is, lateral
or backward on the first, second or
third down, when the ball strikes the
ground or goes out of bounds before
passing into possession or control of
a player, the ball Is dead and shall
belong to the passing side at the
point where it struck the ground or
went out of bounds and the play shall
count as a down. On the fourth down
the ball shall belong to the opponents
at said point unless the required dis.
lance FOR first down has been gained
Change Meets Approval.
Glenn Thistlethwaite of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin did some think
ing on this rule and found that If a
player batted a ball forward 1t would
become dead where grounded. Touch
downs and long gains, he decided,
could be registered merely by hitting
the ball across the line of scrimmage.
SO he devised a change in this rule
and had it adopted by the Western
Conference. which will ask the ma
tional rules committee to meet the
change. The text of this change fol
lows:
I'm case a backward pass is touched
without a player gaining control of
it and the ball then strikes the ground
or goes out of bounds. in advance of
the spot at which it was touched. 1t
shall belong to the team that made the
pass at The spot at which it was first
touched. This provision shall apply
whether the ball strikes the ground
