GRID RULE CHANGES
HELD UNNECESSARY
Game at Stage Where Under
Dog Has Chance, Says
Chairman in Report.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, La. December 2s.--
Describing foot ball as now at the
happy stage where "the underdog shall
always have the chance to come back"
Edward K. Hall of New York and
Dartmouth, chairman of the national
intercollegiate foot ball rules committee,
declared in his annual report today he
sees no need or desirability for any ma
terial changes in gridiron rules for 1929.
Mr.. Halls report was read to the
convention of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association. After describing
the benefits derived from changes
effected In the foot ball code this yea1,
he concluded:
"As to the rules for 1929 think
speak for all my associates in express
ing the belief that the experience Of
the past season has not disclosed either
the necessity or the desirability of any
material changes in the rules. There
are perhaps a few contingencies that
can be made clearer, but the game it
self seems to be about right"
Coaches Attend Sessions.
The rules committee chairman
praised the results of having an ad-
visory committee of three coaches at
tend the rules sessions, an innovation
this year, and disclosed the intention
of making this a permanent arrange
ment. A committee of officials also sits
with the rules-makers.
Rehabilitation of the rules. under
taken over year ago and which 1t had
been hoped to complete for 1929, may
not be finished before 1880, Mr.. Hall
revealed
Rules changes involving protection for
the backward or lateral pass and re-
covery. Of kicked ball, put into effect
this year, have proved satisfactory, In
his opinion. He concluded that uncer-
tafnty and complication in official rul-
ings has been removed, in addition to
which a better balance has been struck
between offense and defense. Seldom,
If ever, have we seen more upsetS or
more games snatched from defeat in
the second half he added.
Backward Pass Effective.
The effective: use of the backward
pass by several teams during the past
season gives real promise as to its ulti-
mate possibilities" Mr.. Hall reported.
No indication of sympathy with those
who would move the goal posts back TO
their old position or eliminate the point
after touchdown is contained in the
rules report: Mr.. Hall admitted the in
tensive development of the forward pass
during the past 10, years has tended to
detract from the kicking feature Of the
game, but added:
"It has been gratifying to notice, es-
pecially during the latter part Of the
season. the increasing number of goals
from the field and larger utilization
of the kicking game than last year"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 28.
The Federal District Court yester-
day handed down a. decision that the
buyer of illegal liquor can be prose-
cuted If he is party to its transporta-
ton.
The decision, regarded by Federal
authorities here as OF the highest I'M
portance in the enforcement of the ma
tional prohibition law, was handed down
by Judge w. H. Kirkpatrick in the
case Of Alfred E. Norris. New York
broker. Norris was fined $500 and will
appeal the decision.
Judge Kirkpatrick said that the mere
purchase Of liquor is not an ofense
under The national prohibition act. and
that the purchaser cannot be convict
ed of aiding and abetting the sale.
"It does not follow, however" said
the court, "that where transportation
Is required by the agreement there may
not be an admission of the buyer and
seller for conspiracy to transport, even
though what is contemplated Is simply
the delivery of the thing sold. Trans
portation OF intoxicating liquors Is made
b distinct substantive offerse by the
act. It Is not necessarily involved in
every sale. 5 =.

charged with conspiracy to transport
LIQUOR illegally. He pleaded nolo con-

of liquor was no crime either under
the national prohibition law or the

brought to Philadelphia and pleaded
guilty after Judge Kirkpatrick said he

who dresses in black and often wears

recognized pedestal as one of the coun-
trys leaders in public school education.
She Is Mrs. Susan M. Dorsey, for the
last 9 years superintendent of the
Los Angeles school system, and she has
served 80 years in the city schools.
Though her hair is white, her voice
is still one Of power when she is on
the platform addressing an educational
convention. Her words are quick and
concise. Her personality holds atten-
ton.
In her nine years of leadership Mrs.
Dorsey has built school system whose
equipment, quality of teaching and ad-
ministrative personnel have kept pace
with the rapid growth of the city. She
has won wide recognition as a pro-
ponent of vocational education for both
boys and girls. She was a pioneer in
introducing courses In parenthood in
the school system.
Mrs. Dorsey thinks young people
should be made to realize that public
Education implies q social partnership

he admitted the charge.
Norris, through counsel. admitted in
the argument of the case two weeks
ago, that IL times in more than year,
he ordered liquor from Kerper and that
the latter sent 1t by express to Norris In
New York variously labeled as paint,
varnish, olive oil and other names.
"In respect to the transportation"
said the court in its decision, Norris
did far more than know and acquiesce.
He also did more than merely let ker-
per know that he was IN the market
for liquor. BY his repeated orders of
whisky telephoned from New York to
Philadelphia, he became party to an
agreement which required Kerper tot
transport the liquor and he promised
10 pay him for doing 1t. Thus he not

that the purpose and intent OF the
agreement was to bring about the

ever it may have been to Norris home.
Conclusion Reached.
"The conclusion is % that a con-
