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.

The Calling of J. O’Brien

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

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.

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.
