Great Treat
You who love football, but are
not quite sure at times OF why
the whistle is blown, will be IN
terested in the show that The
washington Times will develop on
the field before you. We will show
plays at top speed and in slow
motion.
The line that divides the fair
and foul will be drawn by the
players on the field, and you will
know exactly what is about to
happen because the loud speaker
system at Griffith Stadium will
be in use on October 16.
Lets just conjure up few plays.
Here we go:
Team A, which will always be
the team in possession Of the
ball, is at midfield. The score is
3 to 0 against it. There's a strong
wind sweeping down the field. The
punter of Team A kicks and the
| ends go down the field. The
safety man of Team B, knowing
that he can't gamble on a
possible tumble, signals a fair
catch.
Now the end of Team A does
not see the signal until he is right
in front of the receiver. Then he
stops, The ball strikes the ground.
He doesn't actually touch the
player of Team B, but the offic-
ial blows the whistle and penal
ICES Team A IS yards. Instead of
having the ball on its 20 yard
line, Team B, puts the ball in
play on its 35 yard line.
What Was the Foul?
Why should that be? There
was no contact down the field.
No man was off side. But there
was a foul. Do you know what
the foul was?
Well, we intend to show you
what it was and how it happened
and we will read off the rule COW
ering the breach of the playing
code.
Here is another brain teaser for
grandStand quarterbackS.
A forward pass is made by
Team A. 1t touches an ineligible
player of Team A and then is in
tercepted by a player of Team B
who runs for what looks like a
tOuchback. But the ball is
brought back and the run disal-
lowed, Do you know why? Well,
if you do that's fine, but we're
going to tell the fans who are
not sure, and particularly the
ladies, just why that run by the
striking young blond really can
not be permitted to stand.
And then there are these for
nations that so BATTLE all but
the folks who really know all
about football.
What Would Happen?
Jimmy Crowley, one of the
famous Four HoreSmen of Notre
Dame, once said that the Notre
Dame system was just shifting
