Eliminate Intentional
.0ut-of-bounds Kick
In nEmuIating Pros
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
| HOOD RIVER, Greg, June IA
flasher brand of collegiate football
for Pacific Coast Conference schools
was approved today by coaches who
voted to allow forward passes from
anywhere behind the line OF scrirn-
mage.
The move, admittedly toward a
more spectacular game, was the first
time an American collegiate league
has adopted the professional grid
practice.
The new rule is in direct opposi-
ton to the NCAA code, which calls
for q 5-yard restraining wall behind
the scrimmaee line for forward pass
ing, and may have lively national
|repercussions. The effect on future
International games was the subject
Of lively speculation among coaches
who also voted to eliminate the In
territorial kickoff out Of bounds.
Make Three Suggestions.
Every effort will be made to In
struct players to kick downfield-"to
preserve one Of the most colorful,
vital plays in the game" coaches
said, but in cases where kickoffs
unintentionslly 60 out Of bounds,
regular rulebook provisions will be
followed.
After going against the NCAA in
the forward pass vote, the confer
ence coaches made three suggestions
to the National Football Committee: !:
/. Penalties inside the 10-yard line
should not exceed half the distance
to the goal line; no penalty outside
the 10-yard line should place the
ball closer to the goal than s yards.
2. Defensive teams be permitted
to advance any recovered tumble.
3. That the penalty on downfield
forward-lateral passes be reduced
from the present fine that brings
the ball back to the point Of origin
Of play.
Service Teams In Line.
Service teams and independent
representatives, gathered here with
the Pacific Coast group, immediately
voted In favor OF the three-rule
change suggestions and the changes
on forward passing and the kickoff
out-of-bounds ruling.
The 1914 schedule for the four
playing league members, Washing
ton, California, U. s. C. and U. C..
L. A., calls for the same double
round-robin played by the three
Southern teams last season, with an
added invasion of Bear and Trojan
camps by the Huskies.

Hunt Is Enigma as Mel
Fans Size Him Up
| AGAINST johnson
BY ROD THOMAS.

Tennis Player Davey johnson once
said of Gilbert Hunt: 1T he wanted
to, Gilly could be a world champion"
Today young johnson probably Is
wondering how much Army 1t. Hunt
wants the City of Washington title
now being defended by DAvey In
the annual Evening Star tourna-
ment, on the courts At Sixteenth
and Kennedy streets NV.
It seems foregone that johnson
and Hunt will clash in the final, to
be played next Sunday If the big
tournament continues to run as
smoothly as it has 80 far under the
direction Of Austin Rice.
Davey Has Supporters.
Inasmuch rs Hunt has played no
competitive tennis here in years,
daily spectators at the tournament
are puzzled over Gilly, who rates
among the top ten racketers Of the
country. He has met no player in
the current event to give him more
than . workout. He seems in excel
lent trim. How fast Gilbert can 60
If he turns on full steam Is the
question as a thoroughly keyed lot
|of tennis fans ponder Johnsen's
chances Of beating him.
At the Edgemoor Club, where Da-
vey is a member and his dad,
Strand, manager. you'll find some
who are willing to put bob or two
on Davey's sunburned nose to
finish in front.
In the meantime, the champ pos
sibly had trouble on his hands today.
At 6 o'clock he was to meet Phil
Men in the .quarter-finals. Neff,
Georgetown University's No. / play
er, who Effected the only major up
set Of the tournament in eliminating
Capt. Merritt Cutler, was expected
to force johnson to turn on the heat,
something no other opponent has
done. A stiff battle with Neff would
help Davey, no doubt, against Hunt.
Ann Gray Dominant.
johnson reached the quarters yes
terday by defeating Charley Lo,
50, Ga. At the same time, STAFF
Sergt. Buddy Adair thumped Ben
Theeman, 60, 6-2, despite q seri-
ously infected leg. Adair next meets

Of the best scraps of the tournament.
