Dobson's S Plan 10
Heighten Posts
Also Will Urge Change
In Arbiters' Positions
On Kicks for Points
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Proposals by Frank Dobson, re-
signed coach at the University Of
Maryland, which would preclude
questionable decisions on field goals
and points after touchdown, will be
presented by the Washington Red
skins at the next annual meeting of
the National Football League.
The suggestions, which "Dobbie"
says should be legislated also into the
collegiate code, call for new types Of
uprights and change in the pres
ent positions of the games four
omcials in order that the kick may
be viewed from all angles.
"Have flag poles for uprights, Z"
Dobson advises. 80 high there can't
be any possible doubt as to whether
the ball goes through or outside
and, further, have them imbedded
in concrete to eliminate the childish
practice Of continually tearing them
down.
Would Change Officials' Positions.
"Also let's change the positions Of
the field Judge, umpire and head
linesman, and remove that sole au-
thority' clause Of the referee to rule
on kicks so that he may confer with
his colleagues on difficult decisions.
If the field Judge takes a position
directly under the cross-bar and the
umpire and linesman are on opposite
ends Of the line of scrimmage, In
position to follow the flight Of the
ball after observing the actions of
the two lines, there can be little
chance for error"
Owner George Marshall said he
would offer the suggestions for in
corporation into National League
rules at the. annual meeting next
April, Saturdays assemblage of club
owners and coaches in Milwaukee
being only for selective draft pur-
poses.
Reaches Climax in Giants Game.
Dobson followed his suggestions
by paying tribute to Coach Ray
Flaherty for having instilled
never-say-die spirit in the 1889 Red
skins such as he rarely had seen
in a college or professional team.
I'VE recognized that trait all

Crack Teams of Both

Team substitutes and non-league

with few leagues taking their turns
this week by special permission.
With league sets to count as quail

leaguers would be out of luck except
for an arrangement whereby they
may shoot their three tournament
games on Saturday and Sunday,
December 1916.
1t may be an advantage for some,
inasmuch as they may roll two to
an alley, whereas the league con-
testants will perform five to drive.
Non-leaguers will roll from scratch
while all subs who turned in at
least 18 league games by December
! will receive handicaps.
In the rolloff, to be held Christ
mas week, the qualiflers will shoot
three to an alley.
There will be no alternates for
qualifiers who forfeit, fact empha-

A lone hurdle looms before Ten

Winter Sports in U. S.
By GRANTLAND RICE,

special COIIeSpOhoent OF Inc Quar-.
DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 6 (N.A.NA.).
-Once, when winter shut down in
the North. outdoor sports shut down,
too. That Is, on a major scale. Now
sports follow the sun-South and
West.
The 1o39-40 parade already has
begun, headed for California, Texas,
Arizona and Florida. Before the sun
warns the North again major con-
tests in football, golf, tennis, polo
and swimming will have been de-
cided and great horse races will have
been run. From now on the sports
pages will feature sun-kissed date
lines.
First on the list Of big-time events
will be the football games, Of course.
The Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the
Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the
Sun Bowl, the North-South game at
Montgomery, Ala, and the East-W West
game at San Francisco.
Winter sports carnivals, such as
have been held for some years at
Pasadena, New Orleans and Miami,
are spreading. Montgomery is the
latest entrant in this field, planning
to build q fine program around the
North-South game.
Winter Roeing Assumes
Prime importance
Winter racing isn't new. But the
importance which it now owns is
new.
For years there was winter racing,
but there was special and deroga-
tory emphasis on the winter" It
was cheap racing. The better sta
bles kept their horses in the barns
in the North or sent them only as
far South as Columbia, S. c. The
tracks around New Orleans, in Cuba
or along the border and, later, in
Florida drew only the nags and the
skinners-the platers owned by the
horsemen that had to hustle for a
living summer and winter, North or
South, hot or cold.
Now the racing at Hialeah, Trop-
ical Park and Santa Anita is as fine
as any sector knows in any season.
The great stables and some of their
greatest horses compete for some of
the richest stakes, topped by the
$100,000 Santa Anita Handicap. The
colors of the Whitneys, the Wideners,
the Woodwards, the Howards and
the Vanderbilts flash under a win
ter sun.

The eyes of Nimbleheels twinkled.

Peter was still staring as rudely

They hastened to obey.

Peter blinked his eyes and stared
at Nimbleheels in the rudest way.
It certainly was most impolte.
Have you got a pocket?" Peter
demanded.

Nimbleheels. How in the world was
I going to get a pocketful of seeds
if I didn't have pocket to put them
in? As q matter of fact I've got

pockets they are. I really can't

for a pocketful Of seeds I am rather
hungry"
Look as much as you like. I
think you will find plenty here in
the Old Briar Patch, but before you
go tell me what you mean by
pocketful," replied Peter.
"Just exactly what I said" re-

that lots of times when thought
