NEW SYSTEM WORKS WELL Head Linesman Important Factor, a Shown Jn A$gie-Whitman Game. Writers Still Wrangle Over Oregon-Idaho Tilt. After several conferences between Dow Walker and Martin Pratt, of the Multnomah Athletic Club, and Arthur Geary and Coaches Pinkham and Moores, of the University of Oregon, officials for the big Thanksgiving day annual clash between the two rival football elevens have been practically Roscoe Fawcett. of Portland, sporting editor of The Oregonian, win reierec the game and Robert Forbes, former Ail-American end at Yale and later coach at the University of Oregon, will umpire. The head linesman has not been finally settled, but the choice will likely fall between Virgil Earl, coach of the Washington HiKh, and W. A. Fenstermacher, of Washington High. The efficacy of the new system in vogue this year, whereby the head linesman and not the umpire is dele gated to call all offside plays in the line of scrimmage, was graphically shown in the recent Oregon Aggie Whitman game at Corvallis. Victor Place, the former Dartmouth captain and coach at Notre Dame and Wash ington, refused even to stand on the line of scrimmage and aid the head linesman on offsides by keeping the men behind the ball. He took his posi tion about five yards behind the de fensive team. "When the rules committee abolished the field judge, the umpire was given all his work on the judging of Incom pleted forward passes, and he in turn was relieved of all the burden of off side Judging." said Place. "The umpire cannot watch offsides and also be re sponsible for the accurate judging of incompleted forward passes, fair catches, holding and all those other intricate fouls. "The head linesman stands on the edge of the field. In a direct line with the scrimmage, and he and nobody else should call offsides in the line." Carl H. Smith, the Jefferson High coach, gave such geod service watch ing offsides in the Oregon Aggie Whitman game that he was selected to do similar service tomorrow at Cor vallis. Too little attention has been paid to the head linesman in the games in "Portland this FalL The Interscholastic League has been content to pick up a head linesman on the field just before the game and the result has been that Umpire Martin Pratt has had to bear most of the offside burden, which really belonged to the third official. . Seattle and Spokane writers are en gaged in an entertaining verbal battle, growing ont of the Oregon-Idaho game at Moscow, won by Oregon, S to 0, after the officials, Varnell and Hockinberry, had disallowed an Idaho touchdown. Coach Bender, of Washington State College, told Ed. Hughes, of Seattle, that the officials made a mistake. He plainly saw an Oregon man touch an Idaho forward pass, which waa then touched by an Idaho player, and later recovered in the air by Proctor Perkins, who ran for a touchdown. Newton Colver, a Spokane writer, waa on the sidelines at the game, and he states unqualifiedly that, as he saw it, the ball did not touch an Oregon man at all, but bit an Idaho player and then bounced Into Perkns' arms, which made the pass illegal. , The vital point in dispute Is whether or not an Oregon player touched the ball in the air and thus made It free for recovery by any Idaho player. Without wishing to discredit Ore gon's sole victory this year, or to add to the poor officials' baneful existence, the facts are that an Oregon player did touch the ball and that Idaho really was entitled to the touchdown. Cap tain Dean Walker, of the Oregon eleven, admitted to the writer in Port land the day of the Washington-Aggie '.-game that he had ticked the ball in the air. At the time he insisted that even that did-not permit an Idaho man to recover it after another of his own side had also touched it. Section 6 (C) of rule 19 covers the case, however, and Perkins was legally entitled to recover the pass. This excerpt reads: "When the ball has been legally passed forward and has been touched by any player of the side not making the pass, any player of cither side has a right to attempt to secure possession of the ball until it has touched the ground." Assistant Coach Max Eaklns, of Washington, witnessed the game and says that the touchdown was legal. .

George Martin, a prominent Albany business man, was a Portland visitor yesterday boosting matters. Mr, Martin predicts one of the greatest crowds that ever attended a football game in Oregon.

The Plnkun, rid iien by Lieutenant Francis Ruggles. of the Eleventh United States Cavalry, won second prize.

WOLFF SEEKS TRIAXGLE RACE Owner of Oregon Wolf Woald Meet Swastika and Vamoose. As a counter challenge to the dell hurled Wednesday by R. F. Cox for motor-boat race between his craft, the Swastika, and either the Vamoose or Oregon Wolf on Christmas or New Years. Johnny WolfT, designer and pilot of the Oregon Wolf, Coast speed cham pion, suggests a three-cornered race for a $1500 purse. Wolff would have the owners of the Vamoose, Swastika and Oregon Wolf put up $500 each for a race on one of the two holidays, the winner to take the $1500 pot. The Oregon Wolf is not in racing trim at present and it would take sev eral weeks to fit the speeder for a race. It is said that the Vamoose has been dismantled for the season, which would eliminate that boat and make the race between the Swastika and the Oregon Wolf. "I named $250 as a side bet for a race with either boat, but if the Va moose can be prepared for the race and a three-cornered affair is desired, I am willing to boost the 'ante and let the winner take all," said Mr. Cox last night. YALE HOLDS LAST SCRIMMAGE Trainer Reports Every Slan In Shape for Game With Harrard. NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Nov. 21.
