Doubts Value Of Fifth man.

DERSONALLY we doubt very much
If such an expedient would be
worth a tenth OF the cost of this
extra oficial to the competing universi-
ties or colleges. And our feeling is
bulwarked In fact.
Once last season we happened to be
sitting with Walter Okeson when a
referee imposed a penalty which cost
a touchdown. Walter, frowning and
was for and when after the game he
he was advised that no reason at all ex-
listed for it, that the oficial had pulled

MEEHAN'S SCHEME
SEEMS MER|TLESS
Fifth Official, Assigned to
Press Box, Likely Would
Be Confused, Too.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, October 81
M Chick Meehan proposes to
/ Y the writer that Walter
Okeson, chairman of the
Foot Ball Rules Committee, and
also head Of the Eastern ASSocia-
ton OF Foot Ball officials, ap-
point a fifth official to every i'm
portant game.
Chick would have this man stationed
in the press box, his duty to lie in the
Interpretation Of penalties for the bene-
1T OF the foot ball writer's.
Their stories would thus be more ex-
actly informed as to the reason for
punitive actions of the officials. Reading
them, the public in turn would con-
ciously or even unconsciously, absorb
the meaning and intent Of the various
rules.
In this way, Chick thinks, games
would be followed with a more intelIi-
gent interest by foot ball enthusiasts,
who in such case would not sit in puz-
element over the manifold technIcali-
ties which cause vexatious breaks in
the continuity of play and bring the
ofhcials into much greater prominence
than any Of the players save the back
field men.

Army Edge Ouer Yale Rules Interpreter for Grid Scibes Urged

Q0entty puuleo. we nave an idea that q
NTH ofncial would not be able to throw
much light upon them-save in some
such obvious blunder as occurred In
the Yale Brown game when an Eli was
permitted to run from behind his goal
line after Brown had blocked a punt
in the end zone.
Even newspaper men-not q few of
whom, by the way have more than a
superficial acquaintance with the code
caught that one.
Rules Too Complex.
WET after the game at Chick Nee
hans Saturday night foot ball
forum, 50 able an official as Bill
Crowell defended the decision. When
doctors so eminent disagree, where are
the foot ball critics and the public in
general to find light?
rules are so fearfully complex, so
filled with shades of meaning open to
varying interpretations, that foot ball
as sport would soon die did not the
element Of physical contact and of
college loyalty hold it safe from the
onset of creeping paralysis.
Then, too, so much Of officiating is
q matter Of judgment. Princeton, for
instance, showed last Saturday a scor-
ing play in which the back makes a
lateral pass as he Is tackled The
Tiger touchdown was disallowed on the
ground that this spectacular play. so
common in rugby, was illegal because
the ball had ceased to advance when
the runner was tackled.
Matter Of Judgment.
"VXyHETHER or not the play is
w allowed" said Benny Fried
man, who witnessed it and
was discussing it at the time. depends
upon the referee
How could a fifth oficial up in the
press stand have told whether this was
the reason for the decision as some
thought, or whether the lateral had
been thrown slightly forward, as others
thought?
How could a fifth official know about
anything save obvious penalties when
on the field Of play the arbiters them
selves are so often in doubt, what with
their consultations, their reversals Of
decisions in which the ball Is moved to
a point, then taken back to its original
location, and in which players alternate
their play with protest and argument?
What can be done about it? Nothing
but to throw the rule book away and
write a new one.
