Six-Man Grid Game
To Be Given TryOut

Hebron, Neb.. Sept. 26.-(R)-six-
man football, new game Wednes-
day intended for small high schools,
makes its bow here Wednesday night.
Regulation football rules for IL
man teams have been modified by
Stephen Epler, Beatrice, Neb., high
school teacher and assistant foot
ball coach. The new sport will BE
given q test under the lights in q
game between two teams Of six men
each, picked players from four Ne
braska high schools.
The rules encourage open football
and the game will be played on a
smaller field because Of the fewer
players. Rule changes will reduce the
amount Of equipment necessary
Epler thinks the tendency to open
football will lessen chances Of In
jury and that the chance to use
smaller teams with less equipment
will make the game popular In thou
sands Of small communities.
The size Of the field Is reduced
from 100 to 80 yards In length and
from about So to 10 yards in
width. The kickoff will be from the
20-yard line Of the kicking team
instead Of from its 40-yard marker

AMERICAS CUP RACING TROPHY
STAYS THIS. SIDE OF ATLANTIC
Thoroughly Angry English Skip
per Packs Up Protests
and Sails for Home

Newport, r. l.. Sept. 26.-(R)-
Battered old Americas cup can 60
back to rest securely Wednesday in
Tiffany's Jewelry vaults on Fifth
avenue, New York, though the rever-
herations and the bitterness of the
Rainbow's victory probably will roll
up and down the shores on both
sides OF the Atlantic for months to
come.
Vowing that he never again would
challenge for the hallowed trophy, a
thoroughly angry English million
aire, Thomas o. M. Sopwith, packed
his duffle and slowed his protests,
and prepared to get out Of here as
rapidly as possible, leaving behind him
his splendid blue bodied challenger
Endeaycur and & controversy.
The brilliant spectacle the yachts
mede came to a sorry end last night
when Sopwith automatically wound
up his challenge by withdrawing the
protest he made Of Ralnbow's fourth
and deciding victory, a protest en-
tered chiefly in self defense.
Harold S. (Mike) Vanderbilt, skip
per Of the defender. had protested
the race first, but there was no point
in the race committee solemnly de-
batting whether they'd give Wander
bilt decision he had already won
by a margin of IS seconds. 50 the
matter was dropped.
Thus Rainbow closed out the fiji
teenth series With four straight vic
tories, all she needed. against two
for the blue-hulled Englishman.
