LET GRIDMAN LEAVE
FEET TO CLEAR FOE
Big Ten Leaders Give Leeway on
Flying Tackle and Blocks.
Stagg Given Cup.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 10-Western
~ Conference foot ball teams will
have little leeway on flying tao
kles and blocks. it was decided at the
annual discussion of rules today by
coaches and officials.
After a discussion led by Amos Alonzo
Stagg, sr., Of the University of Chicago,
a member of the National Rules Com
n,ittee. which last Winter voted to ban
flying blocking and tackling, it was de-
cided player might leave his feet with
cut penalty in order to clear a player
on the ground.
It also was agreed that officials should
adhere to the letter of the rule declaring
the ball dead" when any part OF ball
carriers body other than his feet,
touched the ground.
The discussion on use of the hands
was short, Maj. John L. Griffith, Western
Conference commissioner of athletics,
pointing out that the big ten during
the past three seasons has instructed
officials to call penalties when 1t ap-
peared the hands were being used by
offensive players to deal out punish
ment.
All big ten coaches with the exception
of Beb Zuppke of Illinois, were present,
and Notre Dame was represented by
Heartily (Hunk) Anderson and Athletlc
Director Jess Harper. Assistant Coach
Milton Olander spoke for Illinois.
Before the discussion the big ten
coaches presented Coach Stag who TO-
day observed his thirty eighth wedding
anniversary with big silver cup.

SQUAD OF IS AT NAVY

Two More Candidates to Report
Soon-Notable Improvement in
Line Aspirants.

ANNAPOLIS, September 10.-Foot
ball practice at the Naval Academy has
been marked by the presence of all but
3 Of the 88 candidates for the team.
Absentees are Jim Bentley, outstand-
ing tackle candidate, and Joe Koenig,
one of the halfback sspirants. who are
still on the practice cruise, and George
Powell, injured in an automobile ac-
cident. Bentley and Koenig are ex-
pected by September 10, but Powells
return to the game IS doubtful.
During the morning sessions Coach
Rip Miller is following the rule Of
having his charges appear In running
suits, but is enlarging the scope of the
work at that period. the players doing
a great deal Of ball handling and other
activities touching on the actual play
ing of the game.
Miller is delighted with the success
attending his use Of old automobile
tires in teaching his backs to side
step and handle their feet In general.
He finds that the tires are much better
than the boxes used for the purpose
by other coaches and not nearly so
likely to cause accidents and are more
easily handled.
During the afternoon, the Navy
players are in their foot ball togs and
the time Is given to individual and
group coaching, with some dummy
scrimmaging.
Among the line candidates who have
made notable improvement in physique
In the year are Bob Johnston, powerful
Midwesterner, who is tipping the scales
at 1876 pounds. and Archy Stone, crew

OF Foot Ball i'm East Meet
By the Associated Press.

n IEW YORK. September 1o.-A
M couple OF "boogie" men popped
Y leering heads out of the new
foot ball rules today as the
master minds of the East focused sharp
eyes and inquisitive minds on the
changes in the Rules Committee.
Fritz Crisler, new head of Princeton
foot ball, late OF Minnesota, explained
to 500 coaches and officials of the In
tercollege Association that there could
be no legal fake kick plans this Fall
where the strategy called for back
taking the pass from center. dropping
to one knee as If holding for a place

or not he is in the grasp of tackler
Six prominent Eastern coaches pried
into the six changes in the rules, de-
signed to make the game safer, and
prevent any repetitions Of the heavy
toll of injuries and so deaths on the
Nations gridirons last Fall.

ofhcials in the East, heard Nal Stevens

interpret the new rule against flying

restrictions against use of hands on
an opponents head and neck.
Stevens summed up the "use of
hands" situation, another Of the out
standing contributors to the injury list
last Fall. as purely a question of ''in-
tent to punish" on the part of the
defenseman. The fine dividing line be-
tween pushing with the open hand,
which Is legal, and hitting which is not,
a question that has worried coaches
and officials alike. was thus sidetracked,
leaving question of intent alone to
the working officials.
Maj. Ralph Sasse of Army inter-
preted the new substitution rules, al
lowing extra time outs for obviously
injured" players. and permitting play
ers to return to the game once each
quarter instead Of once each half as in

With So Much Fine Talent

4 When foot ball team is so
Y Il spirited that it plays intra-
squad games with as much
ferocity as intercollegiate contests. re-
sulting in the injury Of star players
before the regular season begins. a dis
tinct problem is placed in the path
of the coaches-a problem that Is vir-
tually unsolvable.
Foot ball coaches are calloused to
troubles as rule. But when they face
the loss Of man-power simply because
their players love to battle among
themselves, they are quite likely to be-
come alarmed.
Such is the condition in the George
Washington camp here on the banks
Of the Rhodes River.
THE Colonials are "hepped up" about
l. the coming season and their bright
prospects. With many seniors
present, there is a general attitude Of
making 1882 a campaign long to be
remembered in G. w. history
AS result, the scrimmages have
been extremely spirited. while. in turn.
the hard work has produced numerous
injuries. The toll has been paid by Lee
Carlin, Joe Carter, zuZu Stewart, Frank
Blackstone, Mig McCarver and Boyd
Hickman, all of flrst-string caliber.
Carlin, considered the most depend
able back in the squad, has broken
collar-bone. A jealous freshman dumped
him on his shoulder during a scrim-
mage Friday and now the Colonials
must forego the services Of their stellar
No. l back for the big games with
Washington and Lee, Alabama and
Iowa, all of which will be met before
November l., the earliest date Carlin's
physician will allow him to resume
play.
THE others are less seriously hurt,
l. though Carter is hobbling about
on crutches with a sprained ankle,
The big puzzler for the G. w.
coaches now is the question Of toning
down the action in practice to avoid
injuries.
The Colonials' mental attitude this
year has been inspired by circumstances
other than the old. familiar round Of
pep talks by the coaches. The schedule
and the fact that they desire to make
G. w. history have afforded them
suf1cient inspiration.
