FLAW POINTED OUT
BY HOWARD JONES
Offensive Team Can Recover
Ball and Advance 1t, but
Defensive Cannot.
BY HOWARD JONES.

Foot Ball Coach. University of Southern
California.
TOOT BALL has almost reached q
- climax in its spectacular aspect,
and too much meddling with the
L fundamental rules without care
full study may diminish the great
interest now taken in the game.
am not sure the new rule In regard
to the tumble received enough thought.
The rule for 1929 prohibits any de-
fensive players running with the ball
after they have recovered q tumble by
the offensive team.
The reason for this was that some
thought the penalty was too severe in
permitting team to capitalize 50
greatly on simply an error by the OPP
ponent, and to score touchdown with
the rule still permits this same offensive
team to commit what has always been
considered in fundamental foot ball an
error. and consequently profit by its
own mistake.
Defeats It's Purpose.
In other words, the rules committee.
at the suggestion Of number Of foot
ball coaches, made a rule change and
defeated the purpose for which the rule
was made, by allowing the offensive
team to pick up its own tumble and
run for touchdown, and denying the
defensive team the same privilege. 1t
seems to me that while they were max
ing this rule they should have made 1t
equitable for both the offensive and
defensive teams.
The idea which prompted the rule
presents thought for future scoring of
points. Today the outcome of q game
depends many times upon the judy
mont nf me nnAn-fha NJ
doubt many games have been lost by q
superior team because the quarterback
chose the wrong play at the crucial
moment after the team had carried the
ball within a scant distance of the goal
line. The question then develops, should
there be any reward for beautiful
offensive drive which fails at the last
instant?
It seems to me that there is more
merit in good offense, and that a good
offensive drive in any part of the field
deserves reward. Coaches and spectators
like 10 see offense. The larger portion
OF practice periods Is spent ON offense.
and why not q greater reward for this
phase Of the game and not so much
glory to the stalwart defensive stand on
the 1-yard line.
We can probably look to future de-
velopment that will make scoring either
different or easier inside the 10 or IS
yard line.
Many people often wonder why a
team can carry the ball so near the
goal and yet fail to score. The chief
reason is that offensive possibilities are
restrained the nearer a team gets to the
goal. For instance, an incompleted pass
behind the goal line goes as touchback
and benefits the defensive team con
siderably. The forward pass is restrict
ed to limited zone because it cannot
be completed over 10 yards behind the
goal line. All these things, coupled with
the fact that an offensive team wearies
a little more after long march than q
defensive team, somewhat explains the
reasons why many drives fail just short
Of the goal.

the brunt of attack and defense. If his
hackAeld measures up to the line Lit
tie feels that he will have a good team.
One thing is worrying Little some
what, though. 1t seems that while the
squad played all kinds Of foot ball up
at training camp, 1t has slumped some
what since its return. Certainly, ac-
cording to Little, the men as individuals
and as o team have not done as well on
Georgetown Field as they did at ocean
City.
Lou II Puzzled.
1T is hard for me to understand the
slump In which our squad has been all
this week." said Little this morning.
FOR some reason we have just not put
the same amount of pep and energy
and crashing foot ball in our play here
that we were getting into 1t before we
left training camp. In several scrim-
images we have not seemed as good as
We were two weeks ago, strange as tnat

frank to admit that have been some

before we went to training camp. telt
sure we would have. much better
eleven than last year, but right now
do not feel SO sure. And II based my
opinion on our showing in scrimmages
the last few days, would be sure we
would not be as good.
1T Just seems to me to mean tnat

a coach may have, no matter how good
the team may seem to be on paper, II
the men themselves fail to put the ZIP
and mental energy into their play Of
which they are capable and which the
game demands. then the team will fali
far short of what is expected OF 1t. Ana
our team, If it is to reach the standard
we have hoped for, will have TO put
forth its best efforts from every point
of view. and especially will the men
have to keep on their toes every min
ute, taking advantage Of every mistake
Of their opponents and making rev
themselves. No group Of men can be
welded into q real foot ball team on
what they have done the year before.
"As have said before, though, II we
get any of the breaks, and If our squad
puts forth its best efforts, we shall nave
a better eleven. than represented us last
year."

Provincial, LiSton, Mooney, Wyn-
coop, Cordovano, Barabas and
Hudack are playing their third
and last year. DriScoll, Leary ana
Maczees are in their second. 1t
might be apropos here to mention
that MacZees pronounceS his name
as if it were spelled matches,
without much accent on the t."
In Iiston and Mooney Georgetown
has a pair of fine tackles. 1t Is doubt
full If any eleven has q much better
pair and, of course, Mooney ADDS 10 MS
general ability in the line an aptitude
for punting that places him among the
first rank in that department OF play.
Provincial Is an excellent END ana Littie
has a firm belief that Cordovano Is
about as good guard as one coula nnu
anywhere. Barabas and Hudacx are
fine backs, but the former is bothered
somewhat by a knee injury sustained IN
practice at training camp. Wyncoop,
the other third-year player, Is a gooo
center. but right now Is having o battle
to hold his job. That is one OF the TWO
positions about which Little Is NOT ap-
solutely sure as to who Will start. Mof-
ris, who is playing his second year, Is
giving Wyncoop q real fight for the
berth. and Zomuski, also in his second
wear. is showing up we'll also. In other
words, Wyncoop has some real competi-
ton for his place and must show MS
best to make good. If Barabas leg stays
in good shape he will be a starter, out
If not Schmid is sure to take his place.
Quarterback Job Open.
Scalzi and Gardner are certain to get
chances in the quarterback's position,
as both, as well as Leary, are playing
good foot ball. Driscoll was substl-
tute guard last Fall and did well then
and is expected to hold down his Joo
this season. Brennan is light for an
end at GEORGETOWN, probably not weigh
ing more than 100 pounds. Notwith-
standing his lack of weight, though. ne
is playing good foot ball and, weigh or
no weight, good foot ball Is what Lou
Little is looking for.
Little has almost ceased worrying
about his line. In Scrimmages with
Temple University up at Ocean City the
Georgetown forwards completely out
played Temple men. and all through
practice since the squad went to New
Jersey the Sd of September there mas
not been a lot of criticism about the Ell
forts of the seven men who are to bear

any rule changes, but am going to ask.
why not abolish the point after touch
down and permit team at any time
down, to move the ball to the middle
Of the field and try for goal from the
field? It would at least permit q team
which has carried the ball to the 5.yard
line, and finds itself sometimes in poor
position for field goal, to score.
Or perhaps another method Of reward
for an offensive march to Q certain line
would be to permit the team an extra
down to try for field goal.
A scoring system approximating this
method would not diminish the value Of
a touchdown or the desire Of team to
score touchdown, naturally the great
objective.

THE BEAUTY
ROX
BY Helen Follett-

UTOMEN who have hobbled
w along on high heels for
years find high-heeled shoes
more comfortable than those
with low heels. There is q rea-
son. Nature, endeavoring to
adjust itself to conditions,
shortens the muscles at the back
of the calves Of the legs. High
heels disturb the posture Of the
body and force the internal
organs out of position. Heels
should be lowered gradually I'M
til low ones can be worn with
ease and comfort.
Horseback riding is an expen-
sive form of exercise, but it is
a swell-elegant way to reduce
hips, thick thighs and a pendu-
louS tummy. The vibration
knocks the fat cells silly. Horse
back riding is a handy exercise
for the lazy girl. She'll look
pretty, too, on the bridal path
hair flying, cheeks flushed, eyes
bright, lungs laughing.
Beware Of the fisherman hat,
that chapeau with the capelike
projections at the back. The
back brim becomes soiled and
rubs against the back of the
neck. The result is a disheart-
ening crew Of blackheadS and a
skin surface that develops a
rash. Boils love to lodge on
necks, and friction of any kind
invites them.
Rouge is a spiritual help to
the woman who has no color.
If she looks better, she thinks
she feels better, and if she thinks
SO she does. Tinting the cheeks
and lips ever so lightly is one
way of acquiring mental and
spiritual stimulation. It can be
done so cleverly that even the
hawk-eyed husband doesn't
know. Then it becomes cos
metic art with capital A.
Comes now a little birdie
from Paris who says that, over
there, they are painting their
eyelaShes in various Colors.
Bright blue is the best bet for
the blondes that gentlemen are
supposed to prefer. For hazel
and gray eyes the seductive eye
winkers are painted bright
green. Dark brown and black
lashes keep to their own color
ing, but a heavy application OF
beading makes them appear
longer and more abundant. The
blue and green makeup mix
lures have the consistency OF
grease paint. Their composition
is a. great secret. And that isn't
going to excite Uncle Sans.
daughters to any extent.
To do away with a gallery"
skin, eat green's. Spinach is first
choice, then beet tops. dande-
lion grer.; and chard. Oranges
and all citrus fruits are recon-
mended. The sallow complexion
is the result of a sluggish intes-
final tract or a stomach that Is
not working properly. Too much
protein food will change the
color of me skin from alabaster
to yellow.

Winter blooming blossoms
are those on evening frockS. A
lovely dress of coarse violet net
over satin has a four TERED

The dance of life is much less
complicated and certainly more
pleasant in shoes that are COM
Portable as we'll as beautiful.
And so many shoes. therefore
are subscribing to medium heels
beautifully shaped and en-
bellished. An evening shoe of
beauty and comfort has QUAR-
ter and heels of burgundy suede
and a vamp of gold kid with a
brocade applique that is also
used on the heel.
