OPINION OPPOSES
GUIDING OFFICIALS
Note Served to Make All
Lateral Pass. Conscious
Says Committee.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n YEw YORK, December 28.-
M Elimination of the disputed
VI "sloW-whistle" ruling of 1895
a Is the only change in the
gridiron code planned by the National
Foot Ball Rules Committee, its annual
report to the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association disclosed today.
The report, presented by Chairman
Walter Okeson of Lehigh, pointed out
the members felt a year ago that no
major changes were required and that
nothing has arisen to make action
necessary when the committee meets
at Palm Springs, Calf, February IA
to Is.
The so-called "slow- whistle" ruling,
embodied in a supplementary note to
rule 7, section THE section that de-
fines a dead ball-haS served its
purpose of making coaches lateral
pas-conscious," Okeson said.
He declared that since there is a
fairly pronounced sentiment against
it, the rules would be better with
out it. There is no evidence, he add
ed, to support the contention that
this note is responsible for increased
injuries.
Rule Not Needed, Claim.
THE note as carried in this years
rules says: "a runner who is on
his feet, even though he be held by
an opponent, may run, pass or kick
until the whistle is blown"
When it was put into the rules, It
was indicated that its purpose was
to make lateral passing possible when
q player was tackled in an open field
and that the referee should delay
blowing his whistle until the progress
Of the ball was clearly halted.
In many cases officials, fearing
"piling up" on the runner and con-
sequent injuries, disregarded the sug-
gestion.
Other changes that have been sug-
gested come largely from isolated oc-
currences and are not vital to the
game, the report said.
IF every time that break in the
game caused the defeat Of team we
made change to prevent the re-
currence of such a break, the rules
would become a mere hodge-podge
OF exceptions. To use a golf term,
you cannot eliminate an occasional
rub of the greeu,'" it said.

M pointed suggestion that COL

ball and its teachers was voiced today
by Clark D. Shaughnessy, head coach
at the University OF Chicago.
Foot ball coaches" he said in an
address prepared for delivery at the
annual convention of the American
Foot Ball Coaches Association. should
not be held accountable for foot ball
players failing as foot ball players,
any more than any of the other men,
bers of the teaching staff should be
held responsible for their students
failing their subjects.
"All that these faculties are res
ponsible for is the efficient teaching
of their subjects and if the students
fail it is not the teacher who pays with
the loss of the job but the student who
is dropped from the rolls"

GREATEST Miller
Hill Declares Wooderson
Will Prove an Athletic
Wonder Next Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
LBERT HILL, England's great
" middle distance runner Of .
~ decade ago, believes that in
4 n S. C. Wooderson of the Black
heath Harriers, London. Britain has
the worlds greatest miller" contend
ing that he is better than such men
as our Glen Cunningham or Jack
Lovelock, the New Zealander.
Hill maintains that Wooderson's
aptitude for mile running is so strong
that he will reveal himself next
Summer as one of the athletic won-
ders of the age, and that he should
figure very prominently in the Ber-
lin Olympics.
Although Wooderson twice defeated
Jack Lovelock last year, Hill consid-
ers that he had not then reached his
track maturity. and is emphatic in
his view that there is not another
country in the world with miller Of
his possibilities.
Menace at $500 Meters.
HILL, who has trained Wooderson
from an early age, should know
what is required of an Olympic cham.
pion. He sent the British flag to
the mast twice during the Antwerp
Olympics in 1920, winning the 800
and $500 meters.
After having watched Lovelock de-
feat three Of our best milers, Cum
ningham, Bonthron and Venzke, In
the easiest sort Of fashion at the
Princeton invitation meet last June.
it is not difficult to imagine that
Wooderson, who twice conquered
Lovelock, indeed might prove men,
ace to our chances Of winning the
1,500-meter title in Berlin.
Wooderson has yet to turn In
very fast mile in comparison to the
record breaking times we have be-
come accustomed to in the last few
years, but that does not mean thing.
Like all British runners, he Is only
concerned with winning race; the
time is of little consequence.
