n YEW YORK, December A.
nj Foot ball crowds, q . gem
eral thing, can take the rules
a or leave them alone, but the
1896 campaign served to turn the
spotlight on two provisions Of the
code.
Whether or not the foot ball Rules
Committee does anything about the
rules governing interference on for
ward-passing plays and the kicking.
accidental or otherwie, of free ball,
both will serve as excellent material
for fireside debate during the Oh
season.
Larry Kelley. Yale's great end and
conversationalist was responsible for
the sudden prominence of the rule
forbidding the kicking of q free ball.
A dozen other changes in the code
were suggested in an Associated Press
poll among leading college gridiron
leaders but most Of the comment was
on these two provisions.
Chance for Good Actor.
A RTICLE I, section !. rule 10. says
= "free ball may not be kicked or
kicked at" but supplementary note
adds that no penalty shall be ex-
acted II the ball be kicked "acci.
dentally." In Yale's game with Navy.
Kelley kicked a loose ball toward
Nays goal and recovered. The ON
cials ruled the ball had been kicked
accidentally" and Yale went on to
score the touchdown that won the
game. 1877.
Jack Croft, coach Of Montana
State. pointed out Clever man very
easily can make . kick look acci-
dental and gain q decided advantage
by doing So" Charley Bachman OF
Michigan State thinks the penalty
should apply whether the bah u
kicked accidentally or not.
Agreeing with that viewpoint were
Navy spokesmen and H. E. Van
Kersburg Of Harvard. prominent

Lehigh, president of the Eastern As
sociation Of Foot Ball Omcials. sug-
gests. however. that the rule be
changed so that the ball "is brought
back to the spot where it was kicked
and given to the team that RECEIVERS
it."
Bergman Favors l5-Yard Penalty.
THE rule formdding interference
with a forward pass receiver fig-
ured in three major Eastern games
during the last season.
The penalty for Illegal interference
by the defending side awards the
ball to the opposing team at the spot
where the foul was committed as
first down, or, where the foul occurs
in the end zone, on the 1-yard line

and Dutch Bergman of Catholic be.

Half q dozen others. including

TN THE guise Of an avid foot ball
fan, Clark Grifith leaves early
for New York, where the Boston
Redskins and the New York
Giants will play for the Eastern cham
pionship of the National League. Now
Griff may have q liking for foot ball
and have an especially keen interest
in the Redskins, to whom he may rent
his ball park next year, but travelling
a couple hundred miles to watch q
game in the cold of December has no
precedent in the Griffith log.
Thus 1t might not be the part of
folly to suppose that Mr.. G. dutifully
will attend the Redskins Giants battle
and hasten to his hotel to confer with
his assistant, Bucky Harris, and the
small army Of big league base ball
mogul, who at that precise moment
will be swarming down upon Gotham
via Montreal.
Harris has been approximately

Hogan, who isn't there. For
that matter, most other Ameri-
can Leaguers have been sitting
tight and letting the National
Leaguers, as ID their wont, grab
the headlines and make their
moves.
But the clubowners in VIII Har-
ridges circuit are not going to keep
sitting tight in New York, not when
the Yankees nearest contender wound
up 1917 games behind the pennant
winners. For the first time in Q lot
of joint major league meetings the

FROM what the boys call an unim-
peachable source, Boston Is go
ing to ship Mr.. Werber to Philly,
which will give up, in turn, Frank
Higgins. Only Higgins is not going to
Boston. More likely. he will be dis
patched to play third base for the
Clevelands next season and the Red
Sox, needing outflelders. will get the
Indians Joe Vosmik in the last move
of a three-cornered deal. Odell Hale,
Cleveland's third baseman, will be
shifted to second base In 1887 and,
inasmuch as Joe Cronin plans to play
third for the Bostons, he is unlikely
to want Higgins or Werber on the
Fenway premises.
So It = that Griff and Harris,
when they get down to serious
business next week, will seek out
the Western bigwigs, and Of the
