The common-senSe rule and ap'
proved rule would be to make
kicking a free ball, regardless OF
intent, a foul, and give it to the
offended side at the point of the
act. Had such rule been in force
on Saturday, Navy would have
taken the ball after Schmidt'S
third-period tumble. 1t is easily
conceivable that were the rules SO
worded as to make kicking a ball
a foul, regardless of whether a
man intended to or not, Navy
would have won from Yale.
Local Coaches POIIed

coach, said:
"It is absolutely unfair to
thrust upon officials the respOn-
sibility of determining what a
player is thinking when, under
stress of excitement in an i'm
portant game, he performs some
act"
Kicking a lose ball is either q
foul or it isn't. If you start making
it necessary for officials to decide
when a player does some thing
Intentionally you are just stepping
into a mess of trouble. There is

of a lose ball. 1t just doesn't
add up.
Frank Dobson. the hard-bitten
coach of Maryland, seconded Hag
gerty's opinion.
Kicking a free ball is either
a foul or it isn't. If it isn't we can
make a fine scramble out of
football game. If it is. then the
man kicking the free ball should
be penalized ana the ball should
be given to the offended side at

Dobson impressed upon Jack
Haggerty the fact that New York

a soft touch in Saturdays battle
in New York.

Haggerty concurred in every
thing that Dobson said. Mush

Is Used
To Adverse
Ruling
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Times Sports Editor
Because such a pre-
ponderance of Wash
ingtonians sat in the
Baltimore S t a d i u m
Saturday when Yale's
heady end and c a p
tain, Larry Kelley,
gambled with the rules
and the judgment of
the officials in t h e
third quarter to put
the Ellis in a scoring position
for their winning touchdown,
perhaps the discussion of his
daring has been as heated here
as anywhere-possibly more so.
The play was so brazen
it will undoubtedly be the sub
ject of conversation, not only
in the clubs and drawing rooms
where men of New Haven fore
gather, but at the four points
Of the compass where the Navy
gold marks the Annapolis man.
Record and Rule
In discussions such as that play
has aroused and will keep kindled
at least until Navy and Yale meet
again, it is at least equitable to
take a look at the record:
Here's what happened:
Midway in its own territory,
Yale, unable to gain ground,
kicked to Schmidt, on the Navy
80. Schmidt fu1nbled as Kelley
came rushing toward him and by
one of those strange quirkS which
makes football the game it is,
Kelley's leg contacted the free
ball and booted it to Navy's 2-yard
line where the pursuing Yale end
gathered it unto himself.
The officials awarded the ball
to Yale. Such is the record.
The Book Says:
Here is the rule treatment:
Rule 10; section /; article 4;
kicking free ball:
"A free ball may not be kicked,
or kicked at. Penalty Loss OF
ball to opponents if foul occurs
in field Of play.
Supplemental note:
"If a free ball is kicked, un-
less a penalty for kicking Is
called and accepted, it is to be
treated simply as though the
ball had been touched.
"a. r. (Amended rule)-A
player endeavOring to recover .
free ball accidentally strikes 1t
with his foot or leg. Ruling: This
Is not to be considered as kick
ing a free ball, the prohibition
being against a POSITIVE act"
What Would You Do?
To set the argument right down
in your lap, what would you have
done in view of the facts and
the rules.
Here is a situation pivoting
around Interpretation Of Kelley's
kick of the ball.
If the official thought Kelley's
boot of the pigskin was inten-
tional, according to the rules, the
ball had been touched" and was
dead on Nays 30-yard line.
But if the contact Of the Yale
ends foot with the loose pan
which had wiggled out of Schmidt's
hand appeared accidental, the
ball was still free until pounceo
upon-as ruled.
TWO different schools OF foot
ball thought are still putting OPP
oosite constructions on the play.
It was THE INCIDENT Of week
end football.
No matter with which interpre-
tation you agree, Navy was the
victim of a freakish play first
cropping up against it back IN
1910. before the rule was created
barring the intentional kicking OF
q free ball.
The old time Navy man will tell
YOU that that year the Army end,
