Expert Naughton Suggests That
Set of Boxing Rules Be Framed
By W. W. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.—1 t
would prove difficult, no
doubt, to frame a set of box
ing rules that would cover every
voint that was likely to crop up.
but it certainly looks as though the
time is ripe for making the at
tempt.
The initiative in a movement of
that kind should be taken by some
official body that is far removed
f om the petty jealousies of the
game pugilistic and it appears to
the writer ttyat the New York box
ing commission just about fills the
bill.
It would be the easiest matter
possible for the commis-io'n bo des
ignate a few Eastern experts and
entrust to them the task of devising
a manual that would be a guide to
ringmen and referee and would win
th» appreciation of the public.
Some years ago Jack O'Brien and
Bob Fitzsimmons boxed in San
Francisco and Fitz i-<filapsed in his
corner during the resting spell
which followed the thirteenth
round.
As it was evident the Cornish
man was past continuing the ref
eree declared in favt*c of O'Brien,
and then confusions arose. Some
one wanted to know if O’Brien had
won in thirteen rounds and Fitz's
backers answered "decidedly not.”
"Fitzsimmons did not come up
for the fourteenth round," argued
the O'Brien crowd.
"But Fitzsimmons went to his
corner an undefeated man at the
end of the thirteenth round,” re
torted the Fitzsimmons followers.
The question was never settled
satisfactorily and even now the
record, books credit O'Brien with a
victory in thirteen rounds without
carrying any foot note to explain
that Fitzsimmons really went to
pieces while his seconds were
grooming him for the fourteenth
round.
Mix-Up in Recent Fight.
There was a similar occurrence
in the Charley Miller-Jim Flynn
bout. Both men were in fighting
attitude when the gong signalled
the end of the fifteenth round. On
hearing the bell they dropped their

arms and went to their corners.
Miller then complained of a broken
rib and a few seconds later Referee
Spider' Kelly went over to Flynn's
corner and hoisted Flynn’s sweat
sodden gloves aloft, the orthodox
manner of denoting the winner.
There was heavy betting that
Miller would “stay" fifteen rounds
and the fellows who wagered that
way clamored for their money.
The sporting authorities here
were almost a unit in declaring
that Miller had lasted the full fif
teen rounds, but there were other
♦angles to the betting.
Pool Sellers Refunded Coin.
The pool sellers wriggled out of
a tight corner by refunding all the
fifteen-round money to the original
placers and the Miller-Flynn fif
teen-round incident may be con
sidered closed.
But When Jhe New York boxing
commission, or whoever it may be,
appoints a committee to frame up
to-date boxing rules it seems to me
that the following should be in
serted somewhere:
RULE—When from any cause it
shall be made to appear between
rounds that a boxer is unable to
continue the referee shall await the
signal for starting the following
round. Then if either boxer fails
to toe the scratch he shall be ad
judged loser.
It may be worded more grace
fully and with more regard to
euphony and construction, but the
idea is there. The thing is to do
away with a boxer winning or los
ing “between rounds.”

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1912
Light, Fast Man Likely to Prove Individual Star of Gridiron Season
WHO WILL BE A SAM WHITE HERO THIS FALL?
By Philip Bruce.
WHO will be the Sam White
of the 1912 football season?
Sanford B. White won the
football championship for Prince
ton last year, and for himself he
gained recognition as the most
brilliant athlete in the annals of
American collegiate sport. His In
dividual work won both the Yale
and Harvard football games of
1911. Many experts say that this
year’s new rules will obliviate this
individual starring, that the team
whose players are of the greatest
average strength will do the win
ning.
Now, it is only the truth that
these experts know very little about
what football is going to be like
this year. Under the new rules
ways may be discovered to revolu
tionize the gridiron game. These
experts no doubt reason thought
fully in doping out the end of in
dividual prominence, but still It Is
the writer’s humble opinion that
more than one of the important
games of 1912 will be one-man vic
tories. and that next Thanksgiving
will see a new collegian crowned
the hero of footballdom.
It was Sam White last year and
Ted Coy the year before, and it
will be some one else this year.
There’s a new one every year.
Even w hen the hero of one season
has another year in the game, he
doesn’t repeat.
The most important change that
will be brought about by the new’
rules Is the allowance of four
downs instead of three in which to
advance the ball ten yards. This,
it is widely claimed, puts a pre
mium on the old-time game—the
kill-the-tackle mass plays—giving
a decided advantage to the heavy
teams that are best at straight
football. This argues that the 1912
star will be another catapulting
line plunger of the Ted Coy’ type.
Sprinter Has Best Chance.
A little thought, however will
make It clear to the student of the
game that the husky full back is
not the logical candidate. A com
paratively light man is more likely
to be the owner of the face favored
for display on the November sport
pages. He will probably be a lithe,
shifty sprinter, with great ability in
dodging and shaking off tacklers,
and a particular knack of catching
the forward pass and getting away
with it fast.
The reason for this lies in the
fact that the forward pass wljl
reach its greatest development this

Onl) games scheduled
year. This is the play that is going
to make the high scores, and that
is going to win games. And it is
the star performer in this play who
will be the star of the 1911 season.
The four-down rule, coupled with
the new rule which allows the at
tacking side to make forward passes
of unlimited length, even across the
goal line, opens up unlimited pos
sibilities for the forward pass. As
the rule protecting the receiver of
the forw’ard pass is still in force,
the offense is given vast liberty in
the use of this? play.
of the offense to make
forward passes over the goal line
will make it necessary’ for the de
fense to keep its second line back,
instead of massing its whole
, strength on the line in the manner
that caused so many failures to
score last year after the offense
had carried the ball down to the
ten-yard line.
Princeton Has Had Great Men.
Princeton won't have Sam White
this year, but she may have his suc
cessor. Walter Camp once said.
"For brilliancy of achievement, no
teams have produced so many
stars as those of Princeton.”
Princeton has had men like Mc-
Mann, McNair, Moffat, Lamar,
Ames, King and DeWitt, who alone
have won a great game, and it has
had a Poe, who alone defeated Yale
two years in succession, but never
before White’s time has Princeton,
or any other college had a man who
by individual achievement won two
baseball games from Yale and a
footbdll game from both Yale and
Harvard.
White's fame has not been for
gotten with his graduation. His
achievements seem all the more
marvelous in retrospect. In 1911 he
won Princeton's third and deciding
baseball game with Yale. With the '
score a blank. White reached sec
ond base. Sterrett, who is now
with the New York Yankees, drove
a short hit into right field, which
Corey gathered up on the run and
swiftly whipped to Merritt, at third,
to catch White. White, according
to rule, should have slid to the
base. Instead, he kept his feet and.
taking a daring chance, rounded the
bag and leaped for the plate. The
ball seemed to strike Merritt's
glove simultaneously with White's
foot on the bag. Something, per
haps White's audacity, caused Mer
ritt momentarily to juggle the ball,
and in that moment White slid
across the plate with the winning
runt.

Harvard game, Dunlap. Princeton’s
left end, knocked the ball from the
hands of Hollister, of Harvard, who
was about to try a drop-kick. Al
most before the ball touched the
ground, the ever alert White had
100 yards away, in a race im which
he distanced his pursuers and
scored a touchdown. Scarcely had
the second half opened when Gard
ner. of Harvard, rashly decided to
scoop up a bounding ball on 'his
.one-yard line, instead of falling on
it. and instantly’ he was swept over
the goal line in the strong arms of-
White for as afety and the deciding
score of the game.
Two weeks later Yale, in the first
ten minutes of play, was driving
Princeton to the goal line with a
bewildering shift play. Suddenly,
on a pass from center, the ball
struck (he ground at the side of
Dunn, full back for Yale. Sam
White, dashing in from end. picked
up the ball from the ground' as he
would a baseball. Instantly he was
in full stride for Yale’s goal. 80
yards away, which he crossed, car
rying with him Arthur Howe, the
Yale captain, who had tackled him
on the five-yard line. And thus
came a football championship to
Princeton.
Uast June, at Princeton, Yale led
the Tigers by one run on the dia

with Yale, assigned to his senior
class in English a theme which

The next day Princeton defeated
Yale, through the efficient playing
of Sam White. Sunday intervened,
and Monday was devoted to a holi

The Red Sox have not played es
pecially brilliant or startling ball
this year. They didn’t startle any
body at the start of the race. They
didn't pile up game after game and

middle of the race. They are not

Neither did they play bad base

did they fall into a slump during

That’s the reason they are going

If the White Sox had maintained
