SUGGESTS ELIMINATION OF GUARDS FROM TEAMS
Head Coars, Of American Olympic Tram Wants IIle>tNs Cut to
 Nine Players.

Philadelphia. Jan. 7.-fR-1f the football rule makers wish to speed up the game and make scoring more frequent. Lawson Robertson. trainer at the University of Pennsylvania and head coach of American Olym- pic teams. suggests the removal of tho two guards.
 "Why not drop the guards from football teams" Robertson said. Make it game for nine players. five linemen and four hacks.
 There are too many men on the field now. and I would suggest drop ping the guards. They are there; they work hard: nobody sees them. They just make the game more com plicated by their presence on the field without adding in the least 10 the thrills.
 Removal of the guards would n,ean more scoring. and I believe this would add to the interest of the game"
 Rcbertson's suggestion. when it reached Lou Young. Penn coach. found little favor there. 50 far as am concerned" he said. "I wish they would let football alone. Its all right the way it is.''
