"subsidized" Players
WHAT about the manners and
morals of college football? For 20
years reformers have been fulminat-
ing against high-pressure CONNER
cialization with the same effect as
campaigns against crime and rag
weed. This fall, you can be sure,
elastic wartime eligibility rules will
remain.
If l must crawl out on a limb and
name the teams | think will stand
up best in the bizarre season about
to begin, I'll close my eyes and do
it this way: East: Army, Penn.

Georgia. Southwest: Oklahoma A.
and NJ, Tulsa.

Davis back, is the only major
team with fair chance of COM

Cadets opponents, however, are
loaded for bear this fall, and such
teams as Notre Dame and Michigan
are out for revenge. Army's enemies

potential form - which will be more
than can be said for the other
beaten-up bunch coming off a blood

rumpus.
Points will be made faster and
cheaper this year than ever before.
Scores have been going higher
and higher for years, and the
new rules this season will send
them soaring.
Few colleges had the talent last
fall to take full advantage of the
new ruling, copied from the pros,
that permits passing from anywhere
behind the scrimmage line. Previ-
ously, a pass had to be thrown from
at least five yards behind the line,
which tended to tip off the opposi-
ton. Now. with tighter, faster pass
formations, you'll see the ball thrown
around with the abandon of confetti
in night club on New Years Eve.
Another open invitation to funny
and fancy business is the new amend
ment inflicting only a fve-yard
penalty for an illegally thrown for
ward pass measured from the point
of infractlon
More Lateral Passes
UNTIL this season, the violation
carried the harsh penalty of return
ing the ball to the line of scrimmage.
This often nullified long gains if an
intended lateral was accidentally
thrown forward The negligible five
yard penalty will remove this danger
and encourage more laterals in the
open field - an exciting feature of
Rugby which never has been fully
exploited in American football.
One more rules change will drive
everyone crazy, particularly the de-
fense. In the 1T" formation, popular

Army Sets Union Jack
Right Side Up in Time

The Army today committed
the error of displaying the Brit
ish Union Jack upside down
the international code for dis
tress signal-at the Pentagon
press conference for Field Mar
shall Viscount Montgomery.
Before the field marshal and
Gen. Eisenhower appeared, the
American and British flags were
planted de-by-side on the
stage back of the places they
would sit.
Some keen military eye, how
ever, detected that the broad
diagonal stripe of the British
flag was appearing at the top
instead of the bottom.
The mistake might have gone
entirely unnoticed had not two
soldiers appeared to take both
f1agstaffs offstage. They re-
turned a few minutes later and
planted them in position again.

more & Ohio Railroad, Bethesda, a
distance of approximately 800 feet.
Estimated cost of the work was
$1,079.
