TECH DISPLAYED MUCH PROMISE IN OPENER Those fans of the grldiroh sport who follow the game closely enough to know the rules and the various changes which take place in them from year to year were disappointed in their hopes of seeing them put to the test in Sat urday’s game between the Eleventh Cavalry and the Yellow’ Jacket teams. Straight football was used almost entirely, and the old style line plays were very much in evidence, they being used by both sides to no advantage, neither side putting the ball across in the entire game. The field was wet and heavy, and the ball was thoroughly soaked, and there fore the forward pass was not used to any advantage and trick plays were out of the question, as such plays require fast handling of the ball and accurate passing, and. neither was possible un der the conditions. Everything being considered. Tech should have had the game, and would have had it if just a little more head work had been used at the right time. Tech's bucking was extra good, Colley and Leuhrman going for good gains nearly every time called. The back field also did fairly good work in this respect, but as they had to wait until the ball was caught before getting a l start, they were necessarily hindered, and on this account the end runs were not up to their usual value. It was ex tremely hard for the interference to form under the weather conditions, and. being so heavily outweighed, the in terference was of little value and the man with the ball was generally down ed before he got started good. Fumbling was also very noticeable on the part of the Techltes, and this came near proving fatal more than once and did keep them from scoring MANY GOOD BOUTS FOR NEW YORK THIS WEEK NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—• Knockout , Brown, formerly one of the most talked of lightweights in New’ York, w ill return to ' the ring here Wednesday night, when he i will box ten rounds with Johnny Lore at • the St. Nicholas club Brown believes ’ that he has, tnfproved enough during the i past few’ months to get into the champion ship division and declares he will soon challenge Ad Wolgast Jim Savage, a New Jersey heavyweight, will meet Gunboat Smith, of California, at.

FOR the first time In seven years the rule is (again) that, in the case of a punt by one team, the punter’s side Is not put "on-side" the instant the ball touches the ground. Prior to these seven "fat" years the kicker’s team mates always had to wait until the ball had first been touched by an opponent before they were put on side. I’hen if the opposing fullback on defense, or whoever was trying to handle the punt, saw’ fit not to try to catch the ball on the fly because of the fact that it was, say, seem ingly out of reach for any except a most difficult chance, he usually let it fall to the ground and roll where it pleased. This he could afford to do and be leisurely about getting to it, and falling on it, or picking It jip; for. no matter how fast op ponents had come down unde.rMhe punt, they had no right tq.touch the ball until one .of the receiving side had first touched it. We then had the laughable sit uation often presented of the *ball feebly wabbling around on the ground and one man of the receiv ing side most carefully tiptoeing around it until he could get in such a position as to satisfy himself, that he was absolutely capable of falling on the ball and holding it, without giving the half dozen men of the other team—all of whom ) were standing around him like hun gry’ wolves—a chance to steal it from him after he made his plunge for it. We will, no doubt, have this sort of thing happen again a good many times this fall, and laymen will wonder and ask why everybody seems to be so afraid of touching the ball, when usually they are only too anxious to get a chance to lay hands on it. That’s a point they must brush up on. The matter regarding which I am about to raise an objection is that since the kicker’s side can not touch the ball until it has first given a chance to opponents to re ! cover it by letting them touch it and since there is no twenty- I yard zone this year, and since it is not intended that the kicking i game, with its particular rules, I shall operate any linger in contra distinction to the passing game, why should the punter be com pelled to stand five yards back of his serinuriagq line when making such a punt, the same as he is compelled .to do when making a for ward pass? In other words, the occasion for compelling him to stand five yards back of the line having passed j riE ATLANTA GEORGTAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1012. away, why longer order him to go back there? Why not let him kick the ball in any part of the field and at any time he sees fit—since his own side can not recover It. anyway, until opponents have had first shot at it? CAY a team takes a common kick formation. Well, if they actually kick the ball the op posing side’s backs on defense are permitted by rule this year to once more fall under the kicker’s ends as they come down the field. Well and good. But suppose the punter, after getting the ball from his snap per, takes it into his head that he has a fine opportunity to make a forward pass to some man of his who seems to be uncovered—and he makes the pass. Then instantly his own end who had started down the field like an express train to retrieve what per haps he himself fully expected was going to be a punt, emits a fearful howl that the opposing side back, instead of trying to catch this for ward pass himself (which is all he is , allow ed to .do with a forward pass play), has willfully, mali ciously, violently and half a dozen other ways interfered with said end by bumping into him, tum bling under him. tripping him up. etc., etc. All this may be true enough, hut it is certainly going to be unjust to penalize that de fensive side back for doing what he undoubtedly ought to do in ease it had been a punt. And how is he to know the difference? Carefully watching the end. as is his busi ness, and being thereby unable to watch the punter or passer, how can he tell whether it 18 going to be a punt or a pass? Had the committee permitted kicks to be made any old place in the field (which point 1 have just fussed over), it might help him some: but to compel the kicker to go back to the same spot or distance to which they sefid the passer leaves no chance for the defensive team to do any diagnos ing. As it stands, it’s going to be risky for a team to try falling under the kicker's ends just be cause they think it may be a kick, tor if it should happen to be a for ward pass they are going to find themselves heavily penalized, with the passer’s side getting first down out of it in the bargain. I NOTE from the account of the ' first game'of the season, which took place betweeri the Carlisle Indians ahd Albright college,, that both teams played exactly the same style of team defense that they played in 1911. In other words. neither team had seen any occa sion to change their style of de fense. no matter that the rules governing defensive play had met with great changes since a year ago. This is in line with my own fore cast. For the offensive rule changes may, for the most past, be said to be changes of degree and not of kind; hence there is no need to make changes in the KIND of de fense The changes of degree that ’ should be made by a defensive team have to do with such factors as adding more weight and speed, de veloping sharper tackling ability, more careful drilling oo breaking up interference, and ability to sus tain punishment so as not to give out before the attacking team's four trials have been exhausted And these changes of degree will keep any team busy without wor rying over other new wrinkles in defense. • • « A SI'AIMARY of the reports from ‘ x various Southern colleges < seem to indicate that Georgia and Vanderbilt have fared best in 'the matter of material on hand, both old and new, and both should have wonderfully good teams; indeed, the Red and Black is likely to have quite the best team in its history. Clemson claims to have nine old men back and a lot of fine new’ material, while Mercer is right at the heels of the Tigers in quantity of both old and new’ material. The material at Tech—well, nothing doing There is very little old and none new. The line aver ages exactly 159 pounds, and the back field exactly 150; so if they accomplish anything at all you will have to give them proper credit for it. THE BASEBALL CARD. AMERICAN LEAGUE.
