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.

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

confess they did not cost us $6.50, nor even half that,
yet if you went into one of the best stores to buy an Eng

$6 50 or $7.00, so, according to merchandising stand
ards, they are $6.50 values. We are not dealers m Rain
