Works Injustice.

"OThs AHJuSliASs
DUT in recent years this rule mas
- worked an absolute injustice in
the instance Of Harry Cooper, who
came to America when he was years
old, learned all he knows about golf
in this country and j. just as much
a product of American professional
golf as I am, or Horton Smith, and
who is eminently qualified to repre-
sent the United States against any
golfng foe.
The stupid rule stands against him.
and for some unknown reason no
one has had the courage to stand for
ward and ask that it be changed.
In 1888 the late Mr.. Ryder told
more than one American that he had
no objection whatever to the trustees
changing the deed of trust to meet
present-day conditions. Mr.. Ryder
would have been perfectly satisfied to
have the professional golfers associa-
tions of the United States and Great
Britain select teams composed Of pro-
fessional golfers whom they consid-
cred properly qualified to participate
in such a contest.
Great Britain Also Hit.
"A S A matter of fact, Great Britain
- should use Henry Cotton and Sid
Brews of South Africa, and any other
outstanding British players worthy Of
representing the British Empire, and,
by the same token, Harry Cooper
should be qualified to represent the
United States.
We need to build up the Ryder Cup
matches as great international golf
ing classic, in which the best men the
British Empire can find will compete
against the best men we can find.

nj Regulations governing inter-
" collegiate foot ball will get
4 their annual examination un-
der the critical eyes of the National
Collegiate A. A. Rules Committee and
officials and coaches advisory groups
at three-day session starting tonight
at Absecon, N. j.
Topping the program is an unre-
stricted discussion of the forward pass
interference regulation. The view of
each of the 19 members of the ANAL
gamated Committees will be sought
while at least two suggestions virtu-
ally are certain to receive serious con-
sideration.
One, recommended by coaches,
would eliminate bodily contact be-
tween two or more eligible players as
constituting interference on a pass.
The other would create a zone for the
passer. 10 or IS yards behind the line
Of scrimmage, with the idea of speed
ing up the play, and eliminate long
looping passes which telegraph the
play to the opposition and usually re-
suit in mad scramble for the ball.
Zoning Would Speed Play.
IF A zone is established for the
passer. it would speed up play"
said member of the committee. For
example, supposing a passer Is al
lowed to drop back no more than Is
yards in all from the line of scrim-
mage, it would mean he would have
to get the pass away much faster; the
intended receiver would have to cut
down the field faster and there'd be
less chance of the defense spotting
him"
Whatever the officials do, il any,
thing. it isn't likely they will reduce
the penalty. which puts the ball in
play at the point of interference.
This practically was forecast by Sec
retary William Langford. who said:
Il don't think it would be appro-
pirate to reduce the penalty, because
If we do, We'll just be inviting more
interference"

June in England.
Ryder Cup games were the out
growth of two informal matches
played between American and British
professionals. The first OF these
matches was played at Glen Eagles,
Scotland, and the American team was
sponsored by an American golf maga-
zine, James Harnett engineered the
first match. This was about 1922.
Organized After Second Tilt.
THE second match was arranged by
Il George Duncan and Bob Harlow,
and was played at Wentworth, in
Surrey, at Duncan's Club, in 1925.
The British won, with the American
Ambassador in attendance. Every
thing was quite regular. I helped
collect the American team and cap
tanned it. It was a lot of sport and
We all enjoyed it.
This second match met with such
success that the late Samuel Ryder
decided to give gold cup for biennial
competition between sides of British
and American players. and thus the
official Ryder Cup matches got under
way.
When the original deed OF trust
vas enacted it was stated that only
native-born and resident professionals
could represent their country. THIS
was an effective clause at that date
to prevent the United States OF Amer
lea appointing such men as JIM
Barnes, Jock Hutchison and other
plavers who very obviously we're not
completely the products OF American
professional golf.

cil ordered regular town warrants drawn in these amounts. Written in led ink they drew interest until paid. As funds accumulated, these warrants, which in reality, were loans to the town were paid in full. and for a number of years no red warrants were issued.
 The town council which in April. 1920, turned over to the incoming council, a surplus in the treasury and no indebtedness was the last council to do so.
 The oldest of the red warrants held by the local bank, was dated in January. 1882, the loan having been made for school maintenance. This is the one to be paid off this week, after interest at s per cent has been paid monthly for nearly six years
 The other two warrants were drawn in July 1883, to pay for the purchase of two city trucks. It was with this in mind, together with the cost of repairs, drivers and maintenance which prompted Coun- cilman Hansen to ask the Council al the September meeting if they considered it a paying proposition for the city to own it's own trucks.
