Libera|ize Pass
Interference

DETROIT, Feb. 9.-The forward
pass interference rule, jinx of
many football teams, would be
liberalized under a recommends
tion left today by the meeting of
the rules committee of the Ma
tional Football Coaches Associa-
ton here.
They voted to carry proposal
for a change to the high national
rules committee. Discussion of
pass interference" featured the
parley of 20 of the nations lead
ing college coaches. 1t ended with
Gar Davidson, young Army mentor,
offering a rewording of the rule,
which, in effect, would Stipulate
that so long as players, both Of
fense and defense, make an honest
effort to go after a forward pass
no humping which may result
would be called interference.
Davidson probably recalled the
Army-Navy game last season when
Navy won with a touchdown after
the ball was placed in scoring posi-
ton by pass interference ruling.
Other changes urged by the
coaches would reduce the penalty
for an illegal shift from IS to 5
yards and make a forward pass
striking an ineligible man on or
behind the line of Scrimmage an
incomplete pass instead of giving
the ball to the opponents at the
spot. The coaches also urged that
numbers be won on both the front
and back Of jersies and that goal
posts remain where they are but
be called "end posts" in the future.

All eyes will be on the Eastern.
Western interhigh school series

game that Is easily the feature Of
the school sports week.
The teams have it out at the
Tech gymnasium at $3.50 p. m.
One other contest is slated in the
series tomorrow it's between
Tech and Roosevelt at the Roose-
velt gym at the same hour.
The Western game Is one OF
many obstacles Eastern has had
to face throughout the series
thus far all Of them have been
wiped out . that is, all since the
first Central contest which opened
the schedule.
Western promises to give the
parkers as much of a battle, if
not more, than Central put up
last Friday night the George
towners are that sort Of a team,
particularly when the heat is on"

Coach Jack Ray, Of Central, with

The charm almost worked at

The question cannot be answered.
indeed cannot be fully stated, in so
short space as the present dispatch.
But one aspect of it can be illustrated
by pointing to a condition existing in
Indiana. l write without recent knowl-
edge of events in that State; use
Indiana merely for purposes of illustra-
ton. The same situation, in slightly
different forms, exists in many other
States. The situation in Indiana is a
miniature OF the situation in the
country.
In Indiana Is a Democratic Senator,
Frederick Van Nuys. He comes up for
denomination next year. He is one of
the Democratic Senators who opposed
President Roosevelt's court measure.
Because he opposed Mr.. Roosevelts
court measure, the Democratic organi-
zation, in Indiana and at Washington,
is going to try to prevent his renomi-
nation. Sentence Of party death for
him has been handed down practically
officially. On the day the Presidents
court measure was defeated, the DEM
ocratic Governor of Indiana called on
the President, and on leaving the
White House said, in effect, that Mr.
Van Nuys must not be renominated.
The sentence Of doom has been re-
peated on other occasions.

The Democratic organizations de-
termination to prevent denomination
OF Mr.. Van Nuys will probably succeed.
1t can succeed in Indiana, even though
similar attempts in other States-to
prevent denomination Of other Demo-
proposal-may not succeed. The rea-
son the attempt is likely to succeed in
Indiana Is that Indiana, almost alone
among the States now, preserves the
old convention system Of making party
nominations. Under the convention
system it is much easier for the party
