Frank Howard Hits
No-Tryout Rule
AS Footballs S Worst
BY the Assoeiated Pres,

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Dec. l.
Head Coach Frank Howard of
Clemson College today called
footballs so : called no = tryout
rule "the worst regulation ever
put on the sport"
when a school gives a boy an
English scholarship he has to
pass certain tests" Howard told
the Tennessee Quarterback Club.
when boy is being considered
for band scholarship they want
to hear him play a horn. And
before I give a boy football
scholarship I would at least like
to see if he can trot."
The former University of Ala
bama guard, a member of the
National Football Rules Com
mittee, said he hopes to change
this and other unnecessary
regulations when the committee
meets in January.
''Faking injuries in the last
few minutes of the game to have
time for the offensive team
should be eliminated, and I be-
Iieve I have the solution" How
ard said.
I'm going to suggest that the
clock be kept running while a
substitution for an offensive
player is being made but stopped
if a defensive player is hurt.
That would keep down those late
injuries, I'm sure"

Father Gives Courageous Talk
About Son Killed on Gridiron

Then I'd kid him. You have to
be a sport win or lose ! would
tell him, and he would cheer
up.
Il don't care to talk much
about my boy Johnny. but just
want to leave a thought with the
captains I'll college team cap
tains were present) here: Play
as hard as you can. But play a
clean game, win or lose. It's
only a sport" he said, adding:
Johnny never said word
about himself. Not until his
death did we find out that he
was one of the best-liked fellows
in the school. I remember be-
fore the Syracuse game when he
left to play. His mother said: ::
Watch yourself. Johnny, remem-
ber this is your last year so don't
get hurt
Then Johnny said to his
mother: Yes, this is my last
year, it's do or die
Die was the last word she
ever heard from him."

points. No other team was close.
So devastating was Episcopals
power that the total score of
all its games reads: 234 to Sc
And almost half the opposition
points were scored by Virginia
Episcopal in a 1927 defeat.
This is by way of introducing
the final rating list of this season.
All season long we have picked
the top 10 teams. Today's
windup I3ts the top 20, a brave
venture insomuch as this has
been a hectic season with only
a few teams following a set
pattern.
No quarrel is expected over
Episcopal's choice as No. l team.
The Maroon passed every test,
even to beating a good George
Washington High School team
and finished by shutting out its
last two opponents, Wilson and
Woodberry Forest, a traditional
rival.
Armstrong, the best among the
Negro teams, has been awarded
second place. Armstrong lost
only to Dunbar of, Baltimore.
George Washington moved into
third place by virtue of its VIC
tory over Washington-Lee. which
dropped one step to fourth.
Rounding out the top 10 are St.
Johns, Roosevelt, John Carroll,
Gonzago, Landon and Friends.

Rhubarb of the year was the

triple tie for division honors in
the Interhigh League. The two
divisional setup probably will be
with us again next year, despite
its obvious faults.
This year. for example, almost
all the power was contained in
the Western Division. Indeed,
it is strongly suspected that
Wilson, a fourth-place finisher
in the Western Division, would
have won the title in the other
division without having to resort
to complicated, abbreviated
playoff games.

Bowie Breeders Stakes and Sat-
urday's $25. .O00-added Presidents

current fall meeting one Of the

The system is this: each driver caught in

shaved head marks him as bad driver at
