On Disposition of Kickoff
Intended to End Wedge Play

approval and disapproval. The argu-
ment was that by use of the tee the
ball would describe a loftier arc and
give the kicking side more time to get
down the field and break up a wedge
formation before it could get itself
properly organized.
Approval, either complete or modified,
OF this idea came from Harry Stuhl-
dreher, Villanova; Heinie Miller
Temple; TuSS McLaughry, Brown: A.
A. Tate, Lehigh; Dan McGugin, Van
derbilt; Jim Oberlander, Wesleyan;
Elmer Henderson, Tulsa: Bill Amos

other were DR.. F. A. Lambert and Sam

Duke; Jimmy Crowley, Michigan State:
Harry Mehre, Georgia; Harvey Hartman,
Penn; Bill Alexander, Georgia Tech;
Bernie Bierman, Tulane; Nal Stevens,
Yale; Babe Hollingberry, Washington
State; Jock Sutherland, Pitt, and others.
Much Of the opposition was based on
the fact that the kickoff often would
go over the goal line and be put in play
by the receiving team on its 20-yard
line, thus depriving the game of one
OF its most spectacular features, the
runback of kick-offs.
Glenn ThiStlethwaite of Wisconsin
suggested that the rules be preserved
until authentic statistics are compiled

will do their training at home
next season, the Illinois indoor
relay carnival, one of the Middle Vests
track classics since 1917, will not be
held, and schedules in every sport ex-
cept basket ball have been trimmed, all
because Big Ten foot ball profits showed
a sharp decrease last Fall.
These moves were made yesterday at
the opening of the Big Tens annual

than finances was discussed Southern

occasionally other teams, have been fea-

considered too great to be borne The

Athletic Director George Huff learned
that schools which previously had en-

this year. The Ohio outdoor relay meet
also was dropped.

Cross country schedules were limited
to two dual meets and the annual Big

n YEW YORK, December Son
N the widely disputed subject of
the kickoff with its possibility
Of dangerous mass tnterfer-
ence, the Nations foot ball coaches
have arrayed themselves In two camps
widely divergent in point of view.
On one point, however, there seems
to be general agreement. That is, that
the 80 fatalities reported SO far this
season will force later this month a
serious discussion of the problem par
ticularly as it involves the kickoff and
the wedge formation.
Comments obtained by the Associ-
ated Press from representative coaches
developed in general two distinct
schools of thought. One of these would
retain the kickoff as 1t is; the other
would alter the rules in some manner
so that the wedge formation either
could be legislated out of existence, or,
at least, be given less chance to organ
ize Virtually all coaches favor re-
tention of the kickoff in some form
or other.
The suggestion, advanced by a New
York group including Lou Little,
Columbia; Frank Cavanaugh, Fordham,
and Tom Thorp, official, that the kick
off be made tee as used to be, drew
responses in about equal measure of

dent Of the Boston Red Sox, during the
1890 season. And We would win lot
of these games we are losing by one
run, too"
Consequently, he went out and
bought Wiley Moore, who had been a
great relief pitcher for the New York
Yankees in 1927, but who, when he
suffered lame arm, had slipped back
into the minors.
Old Cy proved just the pitcher the
Red Sox needed. He led the American
League pitchers the past season by win
ming five extra-inning contests, while
his colleagues came through with seven
more overtime victories, thus allowing
the Red Sox TO top their circuit with
IL triumphs and only four defeats.
Some contrast to Boston'S 1880 record,
when 1t won but 4 and lost Is extra
inning battles.
Old Cy did not lose an Inning
game during the 1881 campaign Danny
MacFayden won three and lost none
Bob Kline won two and lost none. Bull
Durham won two and lost one, while
Jack Russell lost two and Carl Morris
one.

Foot ball teams and foot ball play

main idea is to take a general average

TINE West Coast may have been
poison for the East this last
season, but Temple University
was just as poisonous for that
part OF the West that rests between
the Mississippi and the Sierras.

back Weller, and later proceeded to run
roughshod over Denver and Missouri to
close out one Of the best campaigns Of
the year.
Heinie Miller and Bert Bell, ex-
Pennsylvania stars did high-class
job in developing a fast, resourceful
squad, which lost only one game. And
when you lose only one game in foot

time is ripe for three rousing cheers.

that Juan Pima of the Argentine has
just equaled the world record for 100

ALEXANDER OPPOSED
TO TEE FOR KICKOFF
Thorpe's Suggestion to Lessen
Danger Draws Opponent From
Head of Coaches Body.
ny the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, Ga, December 5.-Bill
Alexander Of Georgia Tech, former
president Of the National Foot Ball
Coaches Association, does not believe
the substitution of a tee for foot ball
kickoff will lessen the danger in this
spectacular feature of the game.
The suggestion that a mound be used
in place of allowing a player to hold
the ball in position for the kickoff was
made by Tom Thorpe, foot ball Official
Thorpe held the use of the mound
would give added height and distance
TO the kick, enabling the defensive
players to get down field quicker and
giving the offensive team less time to
form flying wedge.
Alexander thinks the high kick will
give the offensive team more time to
shape its drive back up field. 1t is also
Aleyander's opinion that many times
the kick will cross the goal and give the
offensive team possession on their own
20-yard line.
