by DAVIS }. WALSH
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-There
seems to be more than a little
likelihood today that Walter Oke-
son may shortly be chosen, or, in
other words. shanghaied into the
Craftsmanship Of the football
rules committee, succeeding z. K.
Hall, who died during the late
season. Everybody. in fact, Is
understood to be considerably i'm
pressed with the idea, except
maybe, Mr.. Okeson. who not only
is just a shade dubious about the
distinction but is beginning to
feel he isn't among friends.
He already is secretary-treas-
urer of Lehigh University and
head of the football officials as
Sociation, so that, If he goes for
the rules committee thing. he'll
have to do a consolidation. If
you don't know what that is, the
newspapers will tell you that it
combines several beautiful friend
ships, while retaining the best
features Of each.
There also seems to be further
likelihood that w. S. Langford,
secretary Of the rules committee.
will stand up in meeting at the
convention Of the national Cole
giate Athletic Association here
next week and report that sem
timent is largely against further
changes in the rules.
Declared Himself
At least, that's how I'm finding
sentiment, including Mr.. Lang
ford's. It was only a few weeks
ago that he declared himself to
that effect, so that If it turns out
that he has changed his mind in
the meantime, it may interest
him to know that Mr.. Wilmer
Crowell, who has a voice in the
rule-making; Mr.. Tom Thorp,
ranking official, and Mr.. Okeson
himself have not changed theirs.
AS I understand it, they think
that the tinkering Of 26 years has
had its effect at last and that
somehow football, as present con-
Stituted, has blundered through
to the perfect game.
Even the dead ball" rule has
their support. In fact, it's more
than support; it's downright ap-
proval.
Its the finest thing intro
duced into football since the
pass" one Of them said today.
without the slightest doubt, it
has taken a lot Of roughnesS
out of the game and this is
strictly as it should be"
The use-of-the-handS buffoonery
may be clarified, it seems, but
the old rolling block appears to
be out for life.
Fat Head Play
Indeed, they say the rolling
block was fathead play, any
how. and go on to liken it to a
bullet from gun, the idea be-
ing that, if the bullet hits you,
you're out. But otherwise you
aren't and the bullet is. Any
how, right or wrong, they tell
what the law calls a straight
story.
AS for Mr.. Okeson,r one can
readily understand, why he
doesn't wish the job, for it pays
nothing and all it takes is the
remaining years of a life time.
In fact, it isn't a job; it's a
penalty.
However, I also learn that Mr..
Okeson receives 5000 letters a
year on football and that he
answers all of them. proving that
on this subject he has no idea
of self-control. I, therefore, think
he is an ideal man and that ne
ought to be awarded the job be-
fore he has a chance to recover,

Meanwell's team, in fact, is said
to be better than the one that
beat Maryland. 80 to 80, in an
overtime tilt at Madison last De-
cember. while minus Berger, Ron
kin and others, the Old Liners
certainly are not as formidable as
they were last season. However,
in the Madison game, the Terra
pins were handicapped to some
extent in that the latitude allowed
the players in bodily contact is
much greater in the Mid West
than in the East and South. This
should work in favor of the Old
Liners on their home court.
At any rate, it should be a hard
fought and interesting game, with
the opportunity to compare the
Meanwell system with the zone

ing the contest worth while.

BAD ROAD AHEAD
. Of HOOVER IN
4TH YEAR
Copyright. 1882. international
News Service)

A year from today the bands
will be playing up and down Penn
sylvania Avenue and they will be
1naugurating a new President.
Whether it will be Herbert
Hoover. or a Democrat yet uniden.
titled, is question the next eight
months In all probability will de-
termine.
It Is an axiom commonly &C,
cepted in politics that conditions
in the months Immediately preced.
ing a national election usually de-
tefmine the outcome. In this re-
spect, politicians expect 1882 to be
no exception.
Prosperity Then
It was three years ago that Mr..
Hoover rode down the Avenue
in the rain to accept the Presi-
dency.
The country then was riding
the high road Of the greatest
prosperity it had ever known.
Business was booming, jobs were
plentiful, and seemingly there lay
ahead an endless stretch of good
times"
Conditions today are different.
Millions of men are unemployed,
and wartime" measures have
had to be undertaken to fore
stall an even worse state of af-
fairs.
Whether Mr.. Hoover can suffi-
GENTLY overcome the political
handicap that these conditions
impose upon his candidacy to
ride triumphantly down the Ave
nue. again year hence was
question in everyone's mind today.
Dry Issue Looms Rig
1t is now considered virtually
certain that the Republicans at
Chicago will stage a bitter fight
over prohibition. And the predic'
ton is freely made in responsible
Republican quarters that the
convention will adopt at least a
referendum plank in its platform,
It will be no easy maneuver
for President Hoover to take a
wet plank at Chicago. And such
q plank is the avowed aim Of
Republican leaders from those
States of the East and Middle
West tn. are necessary to elec-
ton in November. -
Prohibition, as we'll as economic
issues. represent q real problem
to Mr.. Hoover on this third an
niverSary of his Presidency.
