Capt. Schumann also pointed out that
the reduction in the size of playing

he sees it, play should be speeded up

ID Ray Van Orman, athletic director

in no uncertain terms that the changes
in the lacrosse rules meet with his

Aroused by what he called the rail-
roading" of the changes, without trial
of the new ideas or even mature con-
sideration before their adoption, he eX-
pressed doubt that the alterations
would accomplish either of the objec-
tives claimed, making the game faster
for the spectators or cutting the eX-
penSeS of the game.
Van Orman said that counter pro-
posal made by him at the Executive
Committee meeting was to keep the
teams at IL men each, and shorten the
field to 80 yards. He agreed that often

He also said that in most colleges
where interest in the sport has to be
fostered the cutting of two available
places will mean decreased interest to
that extent, in that first-team posi-
bilities will be lessened. From an eco
nomic standpoint. he added, he believes
that squad sizes, in most instances, will
not be lessened in sufficient proportion

4 NNAPOLIS, Md. December 90
~ Lacrosse officials of st. Johns
~ College and the Naval Academy
are enthused over the new
rules which establish a smaller playing
field, designate 10 men as team and
authorize changes in equipment for the
protection of players.
Speaking OF his new rules plan
Coach Dinty Moore of ST Johns said;
Il think that the shift will reduce
expenses considerably. BY removing
one attack and one defense player 1t
will not be necessary to carry as many
substitutes or even starting men on
trips
1T is also my opinion that play will
be speeded up and the game made more
open. The smaller field will assure
more handling of the ball
Coach Moore feels. however that the
offside rule should be altered somewhat
and the matter is now in the hands of
a committee. If two players are re-
moved from the game on fouls the eX-
listing rules will place six attack men
against four defense men. Moore is CT
the opinion that instead of keeping
three men on side two would be
sufficient. He also is of the opinion that
not more than two men should be re-
moved from any team at one time IL
more are penalized he feels that they
should remain in the game until one or
more of the other men have served their
penalty, the new penalty then to begin.
A OMISSION of West Point to the
n league was pleasing to Navy. Capt.
Roland w. Schumann of the Navy
feels that a suggestion brought upon
the floor by Lieut. H. A. Myers OF Army
and adopted is a most excellent one.
1t permits players to wear face masks.
Speaking of the masks. Capt. Schu-
mann said he hoped to have the Navy
players wearing them next season. He
also felt that the rule permitting the
use of any kind of shoes except those
with metallic cleatS also is good one.
1T will help to reduce expenses and
give the small college a chance to use
as foot ball Shoes he said.
