Oregon State was defeated last Saturday by Stan ford by 27 to 0 score. Art Taafe, advance man for Ore gon State, said Stanford has the strongest team since 1028.

(Bccaiue of widespread comment on the 1033 football rules. The As sociated Press requested William. 8. Langford, secretary of the national football rules committee, to clarify the principal changes In the play code. Following Is the first of a se ries of four explanatory articles by Mr. Langford.) By William s. ijiiiRford (Secretary, National Football Rules Committee) NEW YORK, Oct. S VP) Players and the football public generally have al ways expected the man carrying the ball to fight for every Inch of ground that he can possibly gain until the ball becomes dead. Under the former rule when any part of the player In possession of the ball, except his hands or feet. touched the ground, while he was In the grasp of an opponent, the ball became dead automatically and play stopped. This year's rule reads as follows: "The ball Is dead and shall be bo declared by the referee: (A) When a player having the ball goes out of bounds, cries 'down', or is so held that his forward progress Is stopped, or (except the holder of the ball In a place-kick) when any portion of his person except his hands or feet touches the ground.' The change was made In the elim ination of the words "while In the grasp of an opponent," and Its pur pose was to do away with the dangers that came from "crawling" and "pil ing up." This year If the man with the ball stumbles so that his knee touches the ground, or If he Is bowled over by an opponent, or If he falls on a loose ball, It Is Instantly dead. ' Crawling Penalized Although It is the referee's duty to announce that the ball Is dead by blowing his whistle, any "crawl ing" which occurs, even before the whistle is blown, is to- be penalized by the loss of five yards. "Crawling" Is defined as "an attempt by the player in possession, of the ball to advance the ball after he has been downed; viz, when any portion of his person except his hands or feet touches the ground." There doubtless will be cases of "crawling," especially In the early games, and this will Invite "piling-' MORE...

In such event a foul will be committed by each team and under the rules the play will be played over, unless the captain of the team in possession of the ball de clines the penalty for "plllng-on" which he may wish to do if the gain made by his team, previous to the "Crawling." Is a large one. In other words. If his team has made a gain of say, 30 yards and the runner then crawls and opponents pile-up on him, it would be more to his advantage to suffer tho pen alty of 6 yards for "crawling" and de cline the penalty for the foul com mitted by his opponents as he thus would make a net gain of 16 yards and a first down. After a short time "crawling" and "pillng-up" will en tirely disappear Walter Johnson Not to Continue Managing Spions WASHINGTON, Oct. S im Walter Johnson, tho smoking "big train" of baseball history, today was a cast off from the Washington American league club after four seasons as its manager on top of 20 years as its record-setting fireball pitcher. No reason was given by Clark Grif fith, owner of the Senators, In an nouncing last night that Johnson would not ' remain as manager. He said only that his contract had ex pired and was not to be renewed. Tho name of a successor also was j unknown. Griffith said be hod no one In mind, while fans speculated on Joe Judge, veteran first baseman; Joo Cronln, ace shortstop, and Sam Rice, long a Washington fielder. Except for one year as manager of the Newark club in the International league. Johnson played only with Washington from his appearance as a gangling 1 9 -year-old rookie from Idaho in 1907. Strikeout Mark Still Stands Prom his first game in 1907, which he lost to Detroit 3 to 2, to his final hurling In 1927, Johnson blazed his way through a trail of records. His strikeout mark of 3487 still stands. ' Here are some' of the other things he did While a fast ball artist: 1913. 56 consecutive scoreless innings; 1910, struck out there Philadelphia pinch hitters In a row; turned in. a no-hit game against Boston in 1920; led the American league In strikeouts for 12 seasons In his first world series in 1924, Johnson won the deciding 12 -Inning tilt after losing his first two starts. He won two games ih the 1925 series but lost the final. Johnson Was one of the most popu lar players In the league.
