Grimes Seeks Outfielder.
A MOTHER rumor has it that
Mr.. Burleigh (Heaven- Help Mel
Grimes. the gentleman recently. SEN
fenced to serve a year with the Brook
lyn Dodgers at hard labor, is in the
market for an outfielder who hits more
or less right-handed, and that he is
discussing price-tags with Pittsburgh
and the Giants. Brooklyn recently,
though privately, offered Van Mungo
to the Pirates for Vaughan and Paul
Waner. The Pirates didn't nibble.
They were willing to talk Waner, but
not Vaughan.
Frustrated on the Pennsyl-
vania front. Mr.. Grimes may
attempt to strike up deal with
Mr.. william H. Terry, Memphis
toughest citizen.
The proposition here would be Joe
Strip for Hank Leiber-though.
frankly, I do not see how Mr.. Grimes
expects to have any infield Of his own
if he lets Strip go. He'd be left with
nothing but a first baseman who sings
tenor, and a first baseman without
any colleagues is like tenor without
a lead, bass, and baritone, only worse
Mr.. William Terry is in Montreal
with the unavowed purpose of seeing
what he can get for Leiber, Clyde Cas-
tleman or Harry Danning, or all three.
He admits that what he wants is q
third baseman and a catcher.
Mr.. Pie Traynor wants pitcher,
and If Cincinnati gets Dean there Is a
possibility of a three-cornered deal,
with Paul Derringer winding up on
Mr.. Traynor's pay roll.
In view of all these boisterous
threats Of commerce In the National
League, you may wonder why the
minor league convention Is called the
minor league convention.
The fact is, the ma jor leasuers
have begun to do . great deal
of their business at this junior

offer more equitable penalty for
pass interference and relieve the off,
cials from the criticism that follows
when such penalty is called. Some
young officials lose sight of the fact
that pass interference means inter-
fering with an opportunity to catch
the ball. Quite often interference is
called when a defensive player bumps
into the potential receiver, although
the offensive player could not have
caught the ball if no opponent were
within yards Of him.
"A rule zoning pass-interference
penalties would make an officials work
much easier and much more satisfac-
tory"
Other officials are in agreement with
Lane, for all concede that the present
pass-interference rule is the most un-
satisfactory now on the books. Other

Despite the fact that they will be up

z0NED PENALTIES
|. ARE DEEMED FAIR
Checking Play by 10-Yard
Intervals, Not at Point
of Foul, Proposed.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.
~ ALIAS. Tex, December a.
There is movement afoot
among Midwestern foot ball
officials to have the rule gov
erning interference on forward passes
amended.
The forward pass interference rule
is the most indefinite in the game.
Distance of other penalties Is clearly
specified, fifteen yards or half the
distance to the goal line. But a pass
interference penalty can cost the de-
fensive team as much as so yards and
not infrequently gives the offensive
team first down inside the 5-yard line
and even on the 1-yard line.
Many officials believe the interfer-
ence penalty is much too severe
Among the dissenters with the present
rule is Frank Lane of Cincinnati. one
Of the best referees in the game. Lane
writes:
1T Is my contention that allowing
the offensive team possession Of the
ball at the point of foul, in accordance
with the present rule, is far too severe
penalty. Particularly where a hair
line decision on interference awards
the ball to the offended team on the
one or two-yard line. Such decision
is tantamount to awarding q touch
down, as the penalty makes it hrst
down with goal to make.

Lists Penalty Zones.
my IDEA Is that pass interference

my IDEA is that pass interference
penalties should be zoned. II
the interference is committed between
the so and 40-yard lines, the ball will
be placed first down on the so: be-
tween the 40 and 80, on the 40; be-
tween the 80 and 20. on the 80: be-
tween the 20 and 10. on the 90; If
on the 10 or inside on the 10-yard line,
and where there is interference in the
end zone, then spot the ball on the
1-yard line
Thus, instead of giving the offen-
sive team the ball on the or yard
line, when interference Is called in
that zone. would place it on the 10.
This would remove quite a bit of pres
sure from the official. because he would
not be virtually awarding a touch
down. At the same time, it would give
the defending team an opportunity to
defend against a touchdown, both
mentally and physically.
II mention the mental side because
I know from long experience the men,
tai attitude of a team penalized to its
1-yard line. Frequently it goes about
guarding against touchdown in
half-hearted manner, seemingly will
ing to concede a score because of
the four downs that accompany the
penalty.

Extra Point Concerns Hagerty.

FITS much ado about nothing" Is
Pixlee's summation Of the pass
Interference furore. "As see it there
Is no other way to call interference
than the way 1t now is being done.
Both the offensive team and the
defensive team have equal rights to
. pass once it is thrown. Navy de-
served to be given the ball on Army's
3-yard line. II the Army man who
tnterfered had been more alert in
sensing the play he could have caught
the ball or knocked it down without
humping or showing the Navy player.
Once pass is in the air it's first
come, first served.
"It isn't necessary to interfere un-
less player wants to. don't think,
either, that there should be any dis
tinction attempted by officials be-
cause q player was suspected Of fouling
Intentionally or unintentionally. You
either foul or you don't. The present
rule Is all right with me-"

that something should be done, and
leans toward the suggestion that q

PaSSer Is Not Protected.

IF A team throws pass while hav-
ing the ball on the 12-yard line
and interference is called, unless it
is done in the end zone. the ball would
be put on the 6-yard line and a first
down given the offended team. On
the 4-yard line, under the same cir
cunlstances, the ball would be put on
the 2-yard line, etc.
If the interference is done in the
end zone I would advocate awarding
half the distance of 10 yards. In other
words, the ball would be brought back
to the 5-yard line. In short, on all
passes thrown from within the 20-yard
line, half the distance would be
awarded to the offended team for in
reference instead of getting the ball
at the actual point of interference.
Passes thrown between the 20-yard
line would be credited to the offensive
team, for interference, at the point
the foul occurred. That is, except
when the interference was committed
at point inside of the 20. Then it
would be put in play, first down on
the TO- BY this mean that a team
couldn't throw pass from the 50-yard
line, have interference be called on
the or A yard lines, and be given
the ball at those points.
II can't see why the offensive team
should be given all the breaks on
pass interference. A receiver can't
be touched, except just so. But do
the rules protect the passer? Why, a
passer is the potential safety man If
his heave is intercepted, and yet the
ends and tackles rush in, knock him
down and give him a real beating.
Why, then, should the receiver be
protected so completely?"

All Have Different Ideas
as to Alterations.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

RhANSAS - hAN'
DINING the rest of the Nations
grid coaches, officials, players,
critics and just plain men-on-
- the-street, WaShington's major
foot ball mentors, in four diversified
opinions, provide fresh fuel for the
unabated controversy over the current
rule on pass interference.
None of the local quartet of Jim
Pixlee, George Washington; Dutch
Bergman, Catholic University; Frank
Dobson, Maryland, and Jack Hagerty
of Georgetown share like opinions in
census which finds rs per cent
of the group advocating change
In the rules.
Only Pixlee is satisfied with the
present rule, attacked more venom
ously within the last few days than
ever before in the wake of Navys 7
too victory over Army and other
similar instances that brought it to
public attention this year because of
pass interferences in major battles.
Bergman is in favor of changing the
rule if better one is devised.
Hagerty agrees with those who have
invented a stock, 15-yard penalty for
the offending team while Dobson pre-
sents a new, slightly involved remedy
that may attract considerable atten-
ton when the gridiron lawmakers
convene for their next meeting.
Dobson Plan is Unique.
II SAW the Army-Navy game" de-
clared Dobson, land I think it
really is unfair to give team touch
down as easily as Navy was given
its score. There can be no criticism
of the officials. The rule, as it now
stands, places a tremendous burden
on the officials and for them I have
nothing except sympathy. At times
1t is impossible to call this kind Of
@ play properly.
II frankly believe it is bad situa-
ton IN the foot ball rules and must
be Strengthened out. In the first
place, there almost always will be
reasonable doubt as to whether a pass
would have been completed had not
interference been detected. Navy,
for instance, got II yards on that
interference of Armys and in some
minds there was doubt as to whether
the play would have been completed.
anyway"
DobSon was both loser and win
her on interference plays last week
when his Maryland team played and
defeated Washington and Lee at Bal
timore. Interference by Washing
ton and Lee back paved the way for
one of Marylands three touchdowns
while score was lost on a perfect
pass play when a Terrapin end was
adjudged guilty of humping a de-
fensive back on the extreme opposite
side of the field. Out of this personal
headache Dobson partially devised a
plan.
If team throws a pass from,
say, the 2O-yard line" explained Dob
son, land the defensive team inter-
fered with the receiver anywhere be-
tween the 20 and the goal line
would award the offended team half
the distance between the line of scrim-
mage and the goal. In other words,
even If the interference was made
on the 3-yard line, the ball would
be put in play on the 10, not the
3, and the offended team given
first down. In all instances like
this. regardless of whether a team
gains only 8 or yards by interfer-
ence, it should be given a first down

Early Clocks Were Crude

Clocks, like nearly everything
else, had a crude beginning. Man
first measured time by shadows cast
by the sun. Later the sundial was
developed. The Chinese and the
Greeks improved on the sundial by
inventing a water clock. This con-
sisted of a vase filed with water.
The water dripped drop by drop
through small opening in the bot
tom into vessel beneath. The side
of the vase was marked off in lines,
and the height of the water indi-
Gated the time. Sand clocks were
also used. In these, like the hour
glasses, time was measured by rum
