COACHES URGE
SIMPLIFIC ALTON
OF GRID RULES
BY CLARK B. KELSEY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

CHICAGO, Dee. 3.-Clarification
of the present football rules rather
than further complication by changes
was asked of the National Football
Rules committee by Big Ten Coaches
and athletic directors in annual
meeting here.
That the Mid, West gridiron STRAIT
egists wanted no major changes
however was clearly indicated by a
resolution declaring they would
disfavor any changes in the foot
ball rules that would increase the
possibilities of technical fouls. ~
A year of grace before any change
becomes effective was also sought
in order that they might come to
better agreement on Interpretation
of the rule. This time would also
permit adjustment of style.
The coaches clearly indicated their
displeasure with the rules as they
now stand bv forming new organ
ization - the Western Conference
Football Coaches Associat -
which will meet twice yearly to cs-
tablish a uniform Interpretation for
the Big Ten schools.
, Jimmy Phclan of Purdue and
Glenn Thistlcthwaitc of Wisconsin
were elected chairman and secrc-
tary, respectively. The offices will
rotate alphabetically among big Ten
schools hereafter.
The meeting also disclosed that
sentiment for elimination of the ex-
ira point after touchdown was gain
ing among Big Ten coaches. A sug-
gestion that the meeting go on rec
ord as favoring elimination of the
extra point was defeated however
after much wrangling.
Efforts of Bob Zuppkc, of Hi
nois to have the meeting declare it
self in favor of returning the goal
posts to their former positions also
was defeated. Zuppkc maintained
the additional 10 yards worked too
great a hardship on the kickers.

SCHOMMER GIVEN
WARM GREETING
AT GRID BANQUET
by United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Dee. 3.-Bitterly as
sailing coaches who criticize can
honest official decision,' John G..
Schommer last night defended his
touchback decision in the recent
Notre Dame Southern California
football game here.
Schommer was at the annual Big
Ten banquet attended by such foot
ball dignitaries as Horween of Har-
ward, Hawley of Dartmouth and
scores of other nationally known
coaches.
Notre Dame won the game to
6, but some spectators and football
men held that at one period of the
game when the ball was grounded
behind the Notre Dame goal it
should have been scored as a safety
for Southern California.
Schommer held it was n touch
back. Drury of the California team
was quoted as saying his team chad
travelled long way to be robbed of
victory"
"This business of officiating in
football games is getting to be sick
ening,' Schommer declared. cit S
disgusting to find football coaches
furnishing men who do their duty
by striking their names off the list
of acceptable officials.
81 gave an honest decision in the
L. S. C.-Notre Dame game. Pll new
er stay in the game when Im
afraid to do that despite all the
criticism of the 'gutless wonders
who punish officials for an adverse
ruling
More than 800 guests cheered
Schommer for 10 minutes.
He then explained his decision,
maintaining Referee Griffith had
told him Riley of Notre Dame did
not have "possession and control'
of the forward pass before he made
his ruling.

TR0JAN-HUSKY
BATTLE DRAWS
EVEN BETTING

Los ANGELES, Dec. 3.-Morley
Drury, captain of the Trojans VS.
Chuck' Carroll, reputed fastest of
the Husky runners, was the dish
grid fans had doped for today as
the University of Washington and
Southern California met in cru
cial Pacific coast conference foot
ball game.
Drury and Carroll will operate be-
hind heavy lines and will be flanked
by backfield mates who make inter
ference a by-word. Both coaches re-
ported their squads in good shape
and ready for the opening whistle.
A loss by Southern California to-
day would jolt them from the envi-
aole position occupied at present in
.joint-ownership with Stanford at
the head of the conference column.
Likewise, a win for Washington,
would give the Huskies season )
record which they need not ali5i.
A loss to Stanford as their only black
mark to date.
Nine Huskies bid adieu to the
gridiron today. They are Douglas
and Schuh, ends; II. Brix, tackle;
Shaw and Wright, guards; Bonamy
and Luzon, centers and Tesreau and
Captain Pat Wilson in the back
field.
Captain Morley Drury is the lead
ing Trojan to say good-by to college
football against the Huskies. Others
are Bert Heiser, regular guard and
Al Scheving, tackle. Howard Ell
lott, quarterback, and jim .Moscr,
guard, are seniors, who may see ac-
tion.
Early morning betting here was
even, with substantial wagering re-
ported by leading gaming estab-
lishments.
