Many baseball observers do not take
very seriously the suggestion that
Babe Ruth may be selected to succeed
the late Miller Higgins as manager
Of the Yankees. yet in many ways 1t
would be the most appropriate ges-
ture that Colonel Rupert could make.
Ruth's dynamic personality, more
than even the tactical genius and
eeneralship Of Higgins. made the
Yankees the great as we'll as color
ful team that they have been. It has
been automatic that "as Ruth goes. so
60 the Yankees" In action, It often
seemed that Ruth was the real leader.
In a pinch the big o~utfielder's mag
netic spirit did more than anything
else to spur the team I.
The Babe wa always in the midst
of everything, whether it was a rally,
an argument or a fight. The conf
dence Of the individual Yankees in
the personal ability Of Ruth under
any circumstances was little short Of
astonishing. The players surpassed
the fans in their expectation OF the
elugger's accomplishments.
For these reasons Ruth might make
an ideal manager at an age when he
has s.mell0wed," with the fruits Of q
marvellous career and q remarkable
personality to draw upon. Yet such is
hts Individuality. the freedom which
he has always enjoyed to concentrate
nm his own play. Of planning and d.
grsctirg strategy. Of making decisions

Football fans will recall the rule in
force last year that prohibited a team
that had punted from recovering and
running with the ball II 1t was
fumbled by the opposing safety man.
AS 0 as the ball was fumbled It
was free to be recovered by either
side. but If the kicking side managed
to reach 1t first. it was theirs but
could not be advanced.
This rule. which was written In
order to encourage one OF the pref
tiest plays in the game-the run-back
of punts-is still in existence. How
ever, it has been amplified. A
fumbled kickoff tin addition to the
punt) can no longer be recovered and
advanced by the team that made the
kick.
Defense Takes Il
Suppose, for example. Jones of
Yale kicks off to Brown of Harvard.
The latter fumbles on hts 1--WE l0-yard
line and Smith, q Yale end who is
racing down the field, picks up the
ball on the five ; yard line. Formerly
he could run the remaining distance
for the touchdown unless Harvard
stopped him, but this season It will be
Harvard's ball on the five-yard line.
But II Brown, who fumbled, or any
Of his teammates recover the ball
they ore free to advance it as far as
they can.
A change also has been made In the
cas Of a blocked kick which does not
cross the line Of scrimmage. Form
crly. either team could recover and
u with the ball; this year II the
side that has made the kick RECEIVERS,
the ball Is dead and It counts as q
down. only the receiving team being
