THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
FDBTHISFfllL
N EW YORK. July 31.—College
football this fall will conform
In practically every respect
with the code of rules which gov
erned the sport la?t year. What few
alterations the football rules com
mittee made were of technical nature
and for the most part served only to
clarify the wording of ambiguity.
One somewhat important change,
however, will permit the kicker to
stand at any distance from the line of
scrimmage when booting the ball in
stead of at least 6 yards back as
heretofore. It is expected that this
'will put a premium on quick kicking
from directly behind the forwards and
add a new feature of always welcome
v uncertainty.
Can Replace Men Freely.
Another alteration make? possible
unrestricted substitution in the last
or fourth period of the game. The
rule relating to substitution was
changed to read:
“Players may be returned once at
the beginning of any period or at any
time during the fourth or last period.”
A specific penalty has been placed
upon advancing beyond the lines in
, ease of a punt out. In this case the
punters' angle will be moved 5 yards
away from the nearest goal post along
the goal line. If the punter out makes
a deliberate attempt by a feint to
draw the opponents off side the ref
eree must not permit him to kick the
ball until the opponents have had time
to return behind their restraining line.
Concerning Forward Pass.
In the rules regarding the conduct
of players after a forward pass or
after a kick insertion of the words
“after the pass has been made” now
make? it clear that players may in
terfere with one another until the pass
is actually made.
A relic of the time when the ball
was not always snapped back with
Wie hands has been eliminated. The
rule, which read:
“By one continuous motion of the
hands or of the foot” has been short
ened by cutting out the words “of the
foot.”
The rule relating to a forward pass
or a kick made from behind the goal
line, together with the rule relating tc
dropping back linemen, has also been
rendered clearer by change? in the
wording.
Sports and Such
THE CHAMP.
/ T'S great to hear Hans Wagner
hit the ball a husky belt;
It's fine to see Chick Evans slam a
pellet down the veldt; s.
F. Baker is some biffer, as the
biffing goes these dags,
And a look at Langford's forearm
puts a White Hope in a daze;
But if goo erant real slamming, the
, real pile-driver maul,
Go watch red-haired McLaughlin
slam the ball!

Dundee had beaten him. A good

sary chances even with an old,
broken-down wreck like Baldwin.

THE PREVALENCE OF CHAL-

due to the fact that when two are

believes that ne can possibly be that

The under layer of skin Is a fine
network of tiny blood vessels in
which the famous blood remedy,
S. S. S., works with remarkable ac
tivity. This is why S. S. S., the best
known blood purifier, has such a
positive action in the skin. There
is one ingredient in S. S. S. which
peculiarly stimulates cellular or
glandular activity to select from the
the blood or from this fine network
of blood vessels in the skin, those
elements which it requires for re
generation.
t T rder the influence of S. S. S. this
flue network of blood vessels In the
skin is constantly taking from the
blood the nutrition required for
k healthy tissue, and the cause of dis
ease is just as constantly becoming

Richards-Shields Team Winner

Schwartz-Lockner Disqualified
I T is certainly tough luck for a
plucky pair of motorcycle racers
to be disqualified for a technical
breach of the rules, after finishing
first in a terfific half-hour grind. But
if Schwartz and Lockner suffered that
penalty, they at least earned the
praise of a big crowd at the Drome
last night, and they set a fearful
clip for the long race.
The reason for disqualification was
that lx>th partners were on the track
at the same time to an extent that
was b Q rred by the rules.
The finish was listed in this or-
■lei:
Richards and Shields, first; Luther
and Lewis, second; Graves and Mc-
Niel, third; and GLnn and Renel,
fourth.
Lewis rode one of the best races
of his career, and his thirteen min
utes on the track praTkally settled
ins combination in a high place fit
the finish.
The next meet is scheduled for
Friday night, and the card is under
preparation today, to be announced
later.
Harry ihe Atlanta rider,
showed class List night ;n winning
a two-mile match race from Luther
in 1:28 2-5, and later, riding Graves’
Excelsior, tried for the track reed'd of
:38 4-5. He missed it by three sec
onds, but gave a fine exhibition of
riding.
Graves won his heat and the final
in the Motordrome sweepstakes in
a furious drive. The time was 1:22.

From Waterloo to Grand Opera
By W. W. Naughton.
I T cau hardly be that all the stories
which float across the Atlantic
concerning Jack Johnson are true.
To begin with, one alleged interview
with the big negro has him aaying
that he will surely return to the
United States in September to fight
his conviction on the white ?lavery
charge, while another tells that John
son has decided to build a small villa
in the suburbs of Paris and that he
has become morose over his self-im
posed banishment from the United
States.
This later interview has Johnson
saying: “My ambition has always
been to live in France, but I am
very melancholy because I nhall never
see the land of my birth.”
The reports of Johnson’s pugilistic
intentions are also confused. One
has it that he is looking forward
to a world’? championship match with
AI Palzer In Paris in September, and
another says that he has accepted five
thousand dollars advance money from
a Russian promoter who plans to han
dle a Johnson-Langford match in
Moscow this coming fall.
Johnson has been quite loquacious
in respect to the things he intends
to do apart from fighting. He has
informed his Parisian friends that he
Is about to put a brand-new patent
medicine on the market and that he
purposes stocking a library with “all
the books written about Napoleon.”
He is also going to visit the field
of Waterloo, build a sanitarium and
become a patron of grand opera.
Probably Jack hopes that a diversity
of pursuits will help him forget his
troubles.

T HAT a “fight” with Jack Johnson

Reports from Russia say that John
son will box either Sam Langford or
Sam McVey. Well, McVey Is still in
Australia, where he has gone on the
vaudeville stage and le being billed
as “the black Caruso.”
Langford is wondering what the fu
ture holds in the way of matches.
He is ready enough to box Joe Jean
nette, who. by the way. has been the
most persistent challenger Jack John
son ever had.
As everything is fair In love and
pugilism, It may be that Jeannette
will execute a flank movement on
friend Langford. He may manage to
detain Sam at this end by promising
to come out here and box him and
then depart surreptitiously for Paris,
