CONCORD NEARS
SOCCER TITLE

Concord kickers successfully dis
posed of their most perniciouS
rivals for the Capital City soccer
league title, when they walloped
Columbia Heights, 81 with a
great rally in the closing minutes
of play.
The Germans had wasted many
a chance to put the game on ice
in the earlier going.
With no score for either team
as the second half opened, Con:
cord attacked the Heightsmen's
goal and soon tailed. Shortly
thereafter the Columbia lads
evened the score.
The Germans, however, hit
their scoring stride and with
brilliant teamwork and passing
chalked up two more points be-
fore the whistle blew.
The British United barely
squeaked by a fighting Rockville
eleven with a 10 decision in
closely fought game which held
the spectators interest all the
way. Standing:

WIGS To ENGAGE

Preparations are being made

Shop fray which will be played
next Sunday afternoon at { 3
o'clock in the Silver. Spring
Armory.
Although the Eagles were last
years champions, they will go
into Sundays game as the
underdogs. The reason is that
Vics have flashed better form
in their games to date.
Yesterday, m any interesting
games were played. The Skinker

The score was 26 to Is.

In one of the roughest basket
ball games seen in these parts for
some time, the Vic's Sport Shop
tossers easily disposed of the
Howitzers, 81 to 21.'
Joe Sweeney is still the best
basketball player in Washington.
He showed unusual cleverness in
drawing fouls. His famous trick
of locking the guarding guards
hand under his arm was still in
order and he drew no less than
four foul to.Ses with it.
Sweeney also accounted for the
most points for his team with a
total of II. Don McCann was

to leave his feet only at the
instance that he makes contact
with the opponent. A loss of
only five yards has been, fixed
as penalty for breach of this
rule.
Subs Each Quarter
4. Substitutions. A much more
liberal rule with respect to sub
stitutions was adopted. A player
may be substituted for another
at any time and player with
drawn from the game may return
once in any subsequent period.
The team making substitution
is to be charged with a time
out" unless time is already out
for some reason or unless the
substitution is made for an in
jured player. 1t is felt that this
will not only accomplish a more
careful supervision over the con-
dition of players than is now
possible by the trainer going out
from the sidelines but also will
permit a tired player to rest
without losing his place in the
game.
Dead ball. For some years
the ball became automatically
dead, when any portion of the
person of the player carrying
the ball except his hands or feet
touched the ground while he was
in the grasp of an opponent.
Hereafter, when any portion of
the ball carrier excepting hands
or feet, touches the ground,
whether or not, he is in the
grasp of an opponent, the ball
will instantly become dead and
the referee will blow his whistle.
The only player excepted from
this rule, is the holder of the
ball in a place-kick.
The Washington times., 1932-02-15

The plan has been in the
hands of Carnegie Foundation
experts for a year. The five es-
sentials are:

legiate Athletic Association a gov
erning body rather than the ad-
visory body which it now is.
Include All Schools
90 Make the N. c. A. A. as
inclusive as possible of the col
leges and universities Of the ma
tion. At present the N. c. A. A.
has upwards of 800 colleges and
universities as members, COM
plete, associate or allied.
80 Make the N. c. A. A. policy.

knowledged powers to define
basic principles of intercollegiate
sport and such majcr devices and
practices as are essentially linked
to the practical application OF
these principles.

The rule changes are regarded
as the most sweeping since the
general modification in 1905 and
1907. They concern the kickoff,
substitutions, blocking and tack
ling and equipment.
Some probably will regard the
kick off and free kick rules
changes as most important.
Under the new rule at least five
players of the team receiving the
ball at kickoff must remain with
in IS yards of the restraining line
of the kicking team until the ball
is booted. The flying tackle or
block is banned.
Under the new rules a player
may leave the game Ito rest" and
then return to play.
Members of the committee felt
that the new rules might go far
in cutting down the number of
football deaths.
Summary Of Changes
The rules notifications, as sum-
married by w. S. Langford, Sec
retary of the rules committee,
are as follows:
/. Equipment. The present
rule prohibits players from wear
ing equipment which in the opin-
ion of officials, endangers other
players, and specifies certain
articles and substances which are
not allowed to be worn. This
rule has been amplified so that
hard and unyielding substances,
If used in construction of thigh
guards, shin guards and braces,
must be padded on outside with
felt, foam rubber or other soft
padding at least, three-eights of
an inch in thickness. No hard
or unyielding knee or elbow pads
will be allowed, and recommends
ton is made that soft knee pads
be worn by all players.
2. Kickoff and free kick. The
formation of team receiving the
Kickoff will be restricted by re-
quiring at least five of these
players to remain within IS yards
OF the restraining line of the
Kicking team until ball is actually
kicked. Kickoff may be made
by either punt, drop-kick or place
Kick. The receiving team is to
have opportunity of making fair
catch without interference by
members of kicking teams, even
Cnough they are on side.
s. Blocking and tackling. It
Will no longer be legal to use
Tying block or tackle on op-
ponent which is defined as div
ing at or throwing the body
through the air at an opponent.
1t will be legal for the tackler

BATTLE

TITLE
BY SID KATZNELL

There has been quite a discus

be decided tomorrow night at $3.50
o'clock in the Central High gym,
when the two clubs face. .
Besides being a reputation"
game, it also has important
bearings. If the Coalmen win
the contest they will be crowned
Section A champions of the Com
munity Center League. On the
other hand if the SakS should
come out on top, another engage
ment between these two teams
will have to take place. In other
words, the Griffiths are unde-
feated in the League while the
Clothiers have lost but one COM
bat.
In an effort to reach. top
stride the Saks have been work
ing out every night of late. A
recent scrimmage with a well
known independent club was
thought to have been particu-
larly beneficial, several plays
being perfected during the course
of the mixing,
The game itself will offer
color, glamor, or what have you.

Wet And Dry Heads Comment Upon The
 Rockefeller Flop
(By United Prcss)


 Comment from leaders of wet" and "dry". forces in the United States, and editorial comment in leading newspapers on the decision of John D. Rockefeller Jr to urge repeal of the eighteenth amend ment follows:
 Mrs Ella A. Boole, president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union: If people desire to repeal the 18th amendment they should suggest some way that will be ef- fective in restricting liquor, and then am asking the question. will the people who have refused to obey the prohibition law agree to obey those restrictions?
 Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, winner with Dr Nicholas Murray Butler of the 1881 Noocl Prize: l must disagree with his premise that there has been more drinking and crime since adoption of prohibition
 Dr D. Leigh Colvin. chairman Of the Prohibition National Commit tee: It Is amazing that man like Rockefeller should make wild statements like that in the face of the fact that the latest government statistics show that he source of liquor supply is no over 3J per cent what 1t was before. and the gov ernment figures show a decrease rather than an increase in ccimc.
