NES8EE PLAYER NEVER Rg. COVERED FROM ACCIDENT, j Annapolis, Md., Oct 5.—It Is likely that Douglas, the star half back of the navy eleven who figured Coniplcuously In the Middles’ victory over the Prince, ton team last year, may not be able to play at all this season. Douglas broke a leg In the game with the Algers and Is suffering yet from the effects of the injury, having to use crutches part of the time. Douglas Is a Knoxville man and was a star half back on the University 0 f Tennessee team, back In the days of Crawford, Buckingham and that bunch of stars. TAD’8 IMPRESSION OF THE NATIONALAL PASTIME, "SCOUT THE UMPIRE.” Rules School For Officials Planned by Coach Heisman The problem of securing competent coaches for football game* played unflbr the Dew rules may tie aolred In Atlanta In a Dew way. Coach Heisman of the Tech team ban volunteered to meet with any men In terested nnd go over with them the new rules, shedding on them the light of Ills long football experience, and also some In formation which he has secured from cor respondence with the makers of the rules. This scheme would be a uorel one and ought to take well, There are anywhere from a score to fifty men In the city who are sufficiently Interested In football and sufficiently desirous of famltlarlxlng thorn- ■elres with the new rules so that they would gladly avail themaelrea of such n chance to get straight on the many vexa tions questions. It la probable that the rooma of the At lanta Athletic Club or some other suitable place could be secured for these meetings. If all who are Interested will communleste with the sporting editor of The Oeorglnn he will make arrangement* for a session of the “rules schoofc** Coach Ilelsniau la of the opinion that lie- fore It will lie possible to ploy football, without squabbles over rules, It will tie necessary for the coaches to get together and agree on an Interpretation of the rules which were left vague by the committee which made them. One rule, for example, which will re quire a deal of Interpretation, and perhapa modification. Is the "fair catch*' rule. As It at presout Mauds It Is made quite dear how a fair catch Is to be Indicated. The Interesting point, however, Is “what Is to prevent a mini who has no chnnee on earth of getting the ball from signaling for a fiHr catch and tuklug advantage of the provisions of hie rule, even though he ran not hope to get the ball until after It has iKHindod a few* times?'* And there nre fifty points of Just this Character which need explaining. It Is not lin|H>ssllde that such a meeting of the conches may lie held In the near future, nnd If It Is Coach Heisman will be there to see what M done. Another more In the direction of uniform rulings nnd competent officials, which the Tech has lieen advocating for a long time nnd which move 1ms 1k»ci* made In the East nnd must coine In the Mouth, Is that of having a committee pass on the candi dates for positions ns offldnls nnd to qual ify certain men through the Mouth for the Job. Conch Helsiiinn has ndvoonted that this be done ri* meetings of the 8. I. A. A., but It has Iwen declared Impracticable. But they hnve had to come to It In tho Knst, and they will have to do It lu the Mouth. If such a move were mnde the question of getting competent officials would be easily answered. And without competent easily answered. And without competen officials first-doss football Is not possible.

New' York, Oct. 5.—Do you remem ber that little story ot the man In the railroad train and the baggage mas ter? Anyway, the baggage master was wlammlng his trunks nil over the plat form and the plug In the train did not say a word until Just as the train start ed to pull out. He leaned out of the window, and, shaking hts hand at the baggage smasher, yelled: “You big stiff, if this train was not pulling out, Yd get over there and 01 Jack the lightweight of this city. Is still nfter a match with Amby MeGn- rey. He says he hits sent several chal lenges to McGnrey. but up to the present the Bronx fighter has paid no attention to them. knock your front piece in. It's a good thing for you that I can't wait for tho next train. You’re a lucky kid; now- paste that In your hat. Oh. If 1 could only get off nnd awing a fpw over to you!" The baggage smasher opened his mouth, watched the train pull up to the water tank nnd then slowly hacked Into the station again. As It did ho climbed aboard the train and grabbed the windy plug by the neck. "Here I am. Now* what do you want? What were you going to do to me?" "Aw, can’t you take a Josh?" piped the noisy gent. "I was only kidding you.” Well, have you got that down? Have you ever seen the newspapers’ inter views with Jack O'Brien, of Philadel phia, In which he states he would knock Jeff's head off if he ever got him In a ring? Have you seen stories signed by .Jack offering to meet the big fel low in any sort of a go from she to twenty rounds? Have you read where Jack accepted offers to mingle with the boiler-maker and where he said he was tickled to death Jack was In the ring at Los Angeles the other night tearing off an elegant lino of larry and was Just about to tell why he was champion of the world. when Jeffries climbed through the ropes In answer to the cheers of tho crowd. Jeff clambered over to Jack, shook his hand and when the cheering stopped, O'Brien said: ^ “The newspapers have been printing stories lately saying that I want to fight Mr. Jeffries. Nothing has cut me so as those stories. Jim and I are the best of pals. The only way I want to meet him Is as we are." Say, wouldn't that crimp you? 'I guess If Jeff ever sees Bergqy the latter will jump the town. These big guys had better be sure that Jeff is planted on that farm for good before they start springing these things. “lbs-" Itoblnson. the Denver feather- weight, nml Kid Texas, of Ptieblo, have l»e»*n matched to meet for twenty rouuds nt Pueblo October 16.

TWO OF DAHLONEGA’S STARS HERE’S THE REAL DOPE ON THAT FORWARD PASS RULE One of the most vexatious questions which han arisen In connection with Uie new rule governing the forward pass was the exception which "A forward pass over the line of scrimmage within a space of five yards on each side of the center shall be unlawful.” Just what was meant by this rule was doubtful, and Coach Hetsntan wrote to Bill Reid, of Hurvard. and Paul Dashlcl, Imth members of the rules committee, and asked them for nn explanation. According to these two distinguished authorities this rule was ln- tended to prevent lobbing over the center of the line, and provided that the ball could not be lobbed over the line within five yards of where the centers were when the play started. That this rule wilt he a hard one to enforce |* obvious to those who saw the long forward pass worked at Tech In Saturday's game. The ball was passed and the man who got It ran a good distance before he passed It. In the meantime the line had disintegrated and the task of locating the positions where the centers had stood, and more particularly to lo cate u point five yards on one side of that position, was a matter of rough and tumble guess work. “Daddy" Crstl. “BIq" Sim. 81ms and Creel are two of the best players on the North Georgia Agricultural College team and some brilliant playing may be expected of them in the game Saturday against Tech.
