9 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.

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.

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 as one of the principals will be announced very soon is quite on the WESTFALL DEFENDS NET TITLE AGAINST L0VIB0ND Atlanta.

It Is practically a certainty that his first opponent abroad will be a man of his own color, and it will be Interesting to see on whom the preference falls. 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, where, in the present condition o^ Jack Johnson's finances. It will prob ably be a case of first come, Arst served. It behoove?
