John j. Schommer, dean q

foresees much discussion on grid rules
when foot ball coaches meet in New
York December 20. The coaches have
q committee which can make recon-
to the Rule Committee
meeting held early in 1897.
THE forward pass interference rule
has caused widespread debate because
of the part it has played in deciding
games" said Schommer. Its . good.

does any other regulation. the need
for officials who know their business.

n YEw YORK, December 14.-The
nj wolf -lhowling business has
" been picking up along the
4 foot ball coaching front in
the last couple weeks, but it's still
considerably below normal.
Although scattered coaching changes
are in prospect, most of the schools
in the big-time groups apparently are
going to string along In 1887 with what
they have now.
Notable among the exceptions are
the Southern. Blk Six, Southwest and
Rocky Mountain Conferences. where
one or more shifts are already made
or in the making.
For the FIRST time in 20 years, the
Southeastern Conference won't make
q single change. Out in the Big Ten,
too. all Is serene, despite rumors Of
possible action at Iowa and Michigan.

HE reason referees last longer IN
foot ball is because calling such
decisions as interferences on passes
falls on the umpires and field judges.
Those officials are men who should
have plenty Of courage and should
have played basket ball as well as foot
ball. In q basket ball game the ofh-
Gals constantly are ruling on the foot
ball type Of pass interference play.
THE ofncial must know whether the
ball or man is being played by the de-
Tending players. He should be able
to see If the intended receiver has been
given an elbow in the chest, hand in
the face. bump by the hips or stomach
and those things happen in frsc-
tons of seconds. If the official knows
what he 10 doing and calls them right
there will be fewer protests by irate
coaches and fans"

SHIP SUBSIDY
COMPROMISE
OFFERED
International News Service

hnternAGlOnal news service
A last minute attempt to break
the Senate deadlock over mer-
chant m airline legislation was
made today with the introduc-
ton of a new compromise ship
subsidy bill by Senator Copeland
CD Of New York, chairman of
the Commerce Committee.
The new bill, carrying the
salient features of bills previously
introduced by Senators Guffey
CD Of Pennsylvania, GIBBS o n
CR0 Of Vermont, and Copeland
was placed on the calendar in an
effort to fulfill President RooSe-
velt's request for merchant ma
rine second to none"
Passage of the new act before
t he proposed adjournment of
Congress June 6 was held queS-
tionable. Senator Copeland said,
however, that ii could be en-
acted at this session if approved
and pushed by the President.
The merchant marine bills
were recently dropped from the
must" legislative calendar when
it was cut to the bone to adjourn
Congress in time for the Repub-
hcan National Convention at
Cleveland June 9.
The new bill, worked out by
Department of Commerce experts.
is approved by Guffey, Gibson
and Copeland. and will be Of
fered as an amendment to the
Bland bill, passed by the House
and now on the Senate calendar.
The measure places private
American shipping in foreign
trade on substantial parity with
foreign competitors, and falls
short Of complete equalization
only where grant of parity could
not be properly safeguarded.
