The Washington times., 1930-12-26

Moran, Of Cawtaba, Sug-
gested.
The Lafayette coach thinks
mich a move would not be fair
to all the men reporting. he
does not take into consideration
the fairness toward the university
with q small enrolment as COM
pared to the university with a
limitless number of candidates
which, by all rule Of number
would naturally be expected to
produce the best team.
Roper Likes Huddle
McCracken declares the huddle
does not require any more time
than the former method Of call
ing signals. He Is Joined in this
view by other notable coaches,
such as Bill Roper and Chick
Meehan, who also answered The
Times questionnaires as to the
needs of football.
Roper adds that it Is almost
impossible to use the signal-call->
ing method of starting play in
these days and times Of huge
stadium and demonstrative
throngs. The former Princeton
coach deploreS the lack Of more
attempts at field goals and adds
that so far as playing rules are
concerned the game is pretty well
o. K. as it is, but this does not
apply to some practices Of foot
ball, such as long training grinds
and the drudgery connected with
the game.
Chick Meehan boasts that
the huddIe, as used by New
York University, is actually
faster than signal calling and
that the ViOlets can get in
more plays during game.
Chick is against the Junior col
iege plan of grooming players in
q certain style of football over a
season or two in between his prep
school and freshman years. He
does not favor permitting a de-
9ense player, who RECEIVERS a
tumble ball, to run with it.
Against One-POint Plan
A. A. Tate, coach Of Lehigh
University, which has come out
with a policy of playing teams
which are in keeping with its own
academic and athletic code, is an
another coach who is ready to
war against the point after touch
down. He adds that in doing
away with the point after touch
down, he would make a touch
down count seven points, to make
fits value slightly better than two
field goals.
E. E. Mylin, Lebanon Valleys
coach, is against the point after
touchdown ever being awarded on
q penalty AS remedy, he Sug-
gests insisting on this point being
kicked and give the penalty on
the ensuing kickoff.
Too, MyIin is strong for
seeing the ball dead where
the man who is tackled hits
the ground, and mot where
his forward progress Is
stopped.
The rule for defensive inter
3erence on passes is too strong,
says the Lebanon Valley coach. He
believes the rule is hard On the
officials, few, if any, Of whom
call it on the goal line, because,
At that point, it means so much
and often means the game.
Let Rules Alone
Herbert O. Crisler, University Of
Minneapolis coach. would leave
the rules alone for four or five
years and let the public catch up
with them as well as the players.
Charles E. Dorais, of Detroit
University, comedies with such a
thought, while Lud Wray, de.
posed coach ct the University of
Pennsylvania, believes that the
question Of running into the
kicker should be left to the
coach as to whether it was inten-
tional. II not intentional, says
Wray, there should be no penalty.
Wray also says that the tumble
rule should be changed to permit
either both or neither sides to ad-
vance the ball.
