BALL DEAD AFTER KICK Confusion of Rule About Substi tutes Also Cleared by Offi- . cial Announcement. NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Football officials in games played through out the country have given such conflicting interpretations of the two important changes in the rules inaugurated this year, one of which changes radically the scoring sys tem of the game, that the rules com mittee of the American Intercol legiate Football association today issued a statement in an attempt to clear the situation. Most of the trouble is over the new rule 10, which was designed to change the play after a touchdown is made from a try for a goal rrom a place kick, to a "try for point" through one of three methods. Some teams, electing to "try for point" by kicking for goal, have claimed the lJ?oint when the kick failed but one 'vf their men recovered the ball and rushed it behind the opposing line. Contention In Wrons, In some instances, referees and other officials have erroneously up held the contention, E. K. Hall, chairman of the rules committee said, in 'ssuing the statement. Mr. Hall pointed out that a team having chosen to "try for point" by kicking, iost when the kick failed, and the instant it did fail the play auto matically was ended. The new rule, he added, does not permit the con version of a play. The remainder of the confusion is over the new rule regarding substi tutes (rule III. section 2), whicu provides that "a player who has been withdrawn from the game dur ing the first half may return at any time during Lhe second half. A player withdrawn during the second half may not return to the game." Kule Further Explained. Concerning it Mr. Hall's statement says: "While this rule does not in terms refer to a player who fin ished the first half hut was with drawn during the intermission be tween the two halves, the purpose of the rule is clear and there is no reason why such a player should not be allowed to return to the game any time during the second half." The new "try-for-point" rule will make the spectators seats near the two goal lines, very attractive, once the coaches and "the public come to realize the significance of the idea, said Mr. Hall. It enables an at tacking team to use any possible trick play which it would not other wise attempt because of the im possibility of losing the ball. In the j"try for point" it has a point to ra.in but nothing to lose. Woman, 80, Golf Kan. LA GRA.VDE, Or., Oct. 10. (Spe cial.) Mrs. O.

Corvallis, Oct. 10. (Special.) Marshall (Mush) Hjelte, all-Pacific coast bask-tbal! center last year and first string football player this fall, is eligible after all, de clares Dr. U. G. Duback, president of the Pacific coast collegiate con ference. The California representa tive at the conference meeting raised the question against Hjelte's eligibility, but Dr. Duback contends that he was not barred on final action. During the war Hjeite was regis tered at California and while study ing navigation with some of the navy units there, neglected his academic work. Since returning to college he has made up those de linquencies satisfactorily. Hjelte ia a conscientious student. Only four men of the 50 football candidates were ineligible for ath letics fbecause of poor ' scholastic work. Maintaining a high standard of srholrshin is a. hobbv with Coach Rutherford. The conference rule in regard to "flunks" in sub stance provides that if failures equal one-fifth of the total earned credits, the man will be ineligible for conference athletics.

With the bail on your 30-yard Jine, first down, " 10 yards to go, the play l a pun, if you are playing- aa even game, -able to hold the opposition's at tack. If you have been, gaining. us wide end runs and off-tackle plays, pre ferably those from a kicking formation, as this formation tarries the threat of the punt and usually forces the defense to throw one more back well down the field to- handle your punt, should you kick. This latter attack should fWways be used if you are behind. Never punt then until you have to do so, for you never will be abie to tie the- oore or defeat the opposition if you give them the ball. The old saying that a strong attack makes the strongest defense must hold good when you are playing -to catch the other fellow's score or else you go down to certain defea-t.

POLLMAH BACKS FUST HICKEY AND HALES SPEEDY IN CARRYING BALL. Wheeler and Slater's Work in In terference Considered Strong Point. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Oct. 10. (Special.) Rogers field was the scene" of continuous scrimmage Saturday afternoon, with the college team and the second team and the scrubs and Cougar yearlings pitted against each other. The two college teams made fairly good showings in their hour of play. Wheeler, Hickey, Slater and Hales in the backfield for the first team put over four touchdowns to the second team's none. The running of Hickey and Hales with the ball was spectacular, but the interference work of Wheeler and Slater made possible the long runs for the two men. The offensive work of the team as a whole was the best shown yet in any scrimmage, though the de fensive work of the litre was ragged. It is evident that the forwards must improve greatly before the opening of the season next Saturday against Gongaza at Spokane. Coach Welch made several changes . AxieaicAM winnes of saiTisn 'opim ' NOW that the summer golf season is over and only a month or so is left to the golfer, it might be a good idea for those who are dissatisfied with their season's form to cast about for something to set them right. The golfer who is content with his style, whether it produces re sults or not, needs no advice. He perhaps is satisfied to go on next season with the same old slice or hook or the same old fault with his mashie play. There are, however, an army of golfers who are willing to learn a new way to do something old in the game. New ideas in golf con stantly spring up. New balls, new clubs, a new type of a golf course and other odds and ends keep us interested from one year's end to the beginning, of the next. I am not going to suggest that a player go out and rearrange his whole game, but it would be profit able to each of us to go- back over the season's play and check up on ourselves. There surely have been weaknesses. Some of us have de veloped the bad habit of always being short. If you are guilty of this fault it is high time to cor rect it. Timid play will spoil any golfer, no matter how perfect his golf form is or how well he executes his i shots. v , It is easy to remember after a round whether "you were short in your putt or short in your approach. Perhaps this is chronic with you. Why not take to serious practice to correct the evil? If you don't, as time goes on it will become worse. Good Drive Gives Confidence. Few golfers are entirely satis fied with their drive. If it is long, perhaps it is not always straight, and one gets in more trouble than if the drive was shorter, but just clearing the bunkers. Why not work out this problem with practice? The tournament season being over now, there is lit--tle-. chance of ruining your game. It is far different from reconstruct ing your play in the middle of the season. If your drive has been unusually short this summer it perhaps isn't because you are getting old or los ing your grip on the game. The real reason doubtless is that you are not pivoting correctly and not timing the shots as well as you used to do. Take a lot of old balls to the practice tee and whale them out without thought of finding them. First I suggest that you have the local pro look you over with a lea- son or two to put you on the right track. Maybe the fault is very slight. Perhaps you are hitting too soon, that is, getting the hands in ahead of the club and pushing the ball to the right each time instead of waiting for the clubhead to crash into it and send it straight down the course. When one can hit a satisfactory tee shot he is more lik'ely to play a good round of golf, as.it gives con fidence. A good drive is a good start and one walks down the fair way with relief, especially if his op ponent' has topped or sliced to the tall and uncut rough along the edges of the fairway. A good drive is 50 per cent of any game, as any one must be djeadfully off in the rest of his shots to throw away the advantages of a 230-yard drive. Thin Is Experiment Time. Possibly all your season's troubles has been in the short game. Why not iron out the kinks while the weather is still good? Although you may have played wretchedly all summer you will still' get a lot of satisfaction if you know when the snow flies that you have corrected your faults. 'You can at least haveI a pleasant winter and something to look forward to next year. These fall days are glorious for being out in the open, even though one does not take the game serious ly. There is fun in taking out just a .few clubs, say a midiron, a mashie and a putter, and playing around. You do not always need a caddy for this. The only way to correct faulty play with the irons is to practice with these clubs. I suggest that you always drop the ball on the ground instead of teeing it as it is practice that is desired, not having the thing made too easy, as with a liberal tee. The stance may be what has caused your trouble. Perhaps you have been standing wrong. It would be well to try the different stances. Maybe you should stand square to the ball instead of open as so many players do. The open stance is bet ter suited to the pro, and in your desire to copy him you probably have handicapped yoursejt more than you realized. Why not go out some day snd try the square stance? In this stand with both feet on the line square with the line of flight. If you have been slicing badly this will help straighten you out. It at least will give you p idea about another stance. Why not try the closed stance also? This is made by drawing the right foot back a little. This is the way to stand to produce the hook. Golfers are afraid they will slice in this stance, but it is just the reverse. tCopynght. lifJX. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.). in the first team lineup, switching McKay to right end in place of Cramer, Crow to center in place of Burkes, Purcell to tackle in place of Wetzel, and Wetzel to guard in place of Davis. The coach said" that while the teamwork was ragged at times it showed promise. The scrubs scored two touch downs on the freshmen and were superior in every way. IDAHO GOLFERS GET HOXOK La Grande and Baker Teams Lose in Tri-State Tourney. LA GRANDE, Or., Oct. 10. (Spe cial.) The ten-man golfing team from Boise. Idaho, won the Tri-State golf tournament held in La Grande on the Country club links October 7-8, with the La Grande contingent placing second and Baker's golfers taking- third. Walla Walla's team failed to appear and the Pendleton golfers remained at home out of respect for the late Mrs. Sam Thompson, whose death occurred re cently. The playing was exceptional, with man after man on the Boise team bringing in 45 or better for the clos ing round. Boise's greatest glories were re-served for the last, however for preliminary to the closing of the' play J. R. Cummock of Boise with 39 broke the course record of 40, set by G. L. Larison of La Grande. Both Baker and La Grande played a fine brand of golf. The final standings were Boise 1044, La Grande 967 and Baker 886. In the counting of strokes Boise led with 189S, La Grande came next with 2013 and Baker placed third with 2039 The team averages were: Boise 47.45. La Grande 60.35, and Baker 60.38.
