FORWARD PASS HARMFUL 6poptlng Writer Suggests That Man in Position of Grabbing Ball Is ;' Easy Mark for Injury Man ; ' Down Should Signal. BT W. J. PETIUIS. Possible changes in the rules govern -i Ing the American game of intercollegi- - ate football continue to agitate sport ' dom, and all manner of suggestions are being sent In to the rules committee, which body legislates on the game each ' year. The intercollegiate game has many features that have proven attractive " and are relished greatly by the patrons of the sport, and if too strenuous ac tion is taken in the matter of recon structing the game, the popularity en Joyed is quite likely to suffer exten sively. The public wants football, and irwhat the public demands is usually granted. The present difficulties of the Amer ican game are being dwelt upon largely by the advocates of the Rugby and as- aoclatlon styles, and not without some 'considerable success, for a number of educational institutions have abolished the American game and adopted the English artiele. Still the Rugby and 3 association games are not altogether the style pf game cherished by the - American college lad. . Takes Too Long to Learn. The lack of popular approval to those styles is not because of lack of merit altogether, for the Rugby and ' association games are quite interesting " to those who are familiar with the - sport but the average American does J not take the time or trouble to famil iarize himself with a game that is es sentially foreign, and this reason alone is responsible for the slow Seledding into i popularity of the two English styles of play. The Intercollegiate style of foot ball la the American style, and, like base ball, it will always be the popular ool- lege game. That the American game is dangerous probably enhances its attractiveness to the younger generation, for the more danger attached to a sport, the more pop- -'Ular it usually becomes. Still, the danger "attached to the intercollegiate game is, to ' a' large extent, unnecessary and can be 'eliminated to a degree. Just how this elimination will be accomplished remains ' for the rules committee to evolve. A number of suggestions have been offered, ' and some of these are meritorious, while others are absolutely insufferable. For Instance, it' Is proposed to extend the scope of the forward pass and per- mlt of a greater number of players han ' dling the pass. ' This is manifestly un- - " popular, for, as "Walter Camp says, such an attempted amelioration of the rules ' would - have the effect of making the game a bean-bag contest, where football " has always been a rugged game. The publlo does not want a ping-pong sub- stltute for football. In the opinion of r the writer the forward pass could be t abolished altogether, and the game much ' ' benefited thereby; - Abolish Forward Pass, Is Urged. This proposition has been advanced !- before and in .view of the fact that e more players are hurt In receiving a- for . ward pass . than even in the mass plays, it would seem the advisable thing to do. For instance, it' stands to reason that a player on extending himself to make the catch of a ball passed several yards through the air, will naturally be caught in a possible position which hardly per , mits him to guard himself against the . shock of impact from a hard tackle, and : most receivers of forward passes are tackled lust about the time they receive a the oval. A man caught in such a posi tion Is absolutely unable to defend him self. He Is unbalanced and with his arms extended Is unable to ward off the as- sault, and the natural consequence is an f injury, sometimes slight but often severe, and while not incapacitating him at the Instant, eventually results in his retire ment from the game. By doing away with the forward pass, even though Its present form lends a spectacular view to the game, the crip pling of players made possible in this play Is done away with. A football player, running with the ball. Is mucn less apt to sustain an Injury through being tackled hard, than is the case in receiving one of these forward passes. Injured Players Should Go Out. Referring to Cadet Byrne again, it Is generally acknowledged that this unfort unate young man has been kept in the game when he was all but exhausted by -,. his earlier exertions, and was therefore so weaknened that his constitution could not withstand a heavy assault, and being so weak he could not prepare himself for the shock which fractured his spinal column and resulted in his death. On r this account retention of a player in the game after he has been Injured, even . though but slightly, should be made a rule calling for a penalty, and should be left to the officials of the game to,decide. Oftentimes a player will absolutely re fuse to be taken out of a game, and in some Instances players hardly able to a stand , have begged their captains so hard to be kept in that he, being only human, has acquiesced. This alone is responsible for a large number of per manent Injuries sustained in football, . and by making the substitute rule so strong the rules committee can com- pel. the expulsion of any and all play ers suffering injuries likely to inca- : pacitate them from defending them selves. - No 176 Leaping on Man Down. Another practice that should be guarded against, and while covered to an extent in the present rules, is the piling up of players on the man who is down. Frequently a player in ruling with the ball is either tripped or ; thrown, and immediately several mem bers of the opposing team leap upon him. Th only reason for such action on the .part of the defensive players is to prevent the runner from advancing the '.. ball any farther. Whenever such a player falls' in carrying the ball. It t. should be scored as. a down when two or . more players of the opposing team are rushing towards him. In several of the games played here this season the need of such rule was frequently dem onstrated, for some games were de layed several minutes on several different-occasions, simply because the run '" ner with the ball was temporarily . knocked out through the opposing i ,tacklers leaping on his prostrate body. Such tactics can be rendered absolute ly unnecessary by the rules calling for downs when the runner with, the ball falls, -whether tackled or about to be tackled. This rule should be framed on the order of the fair catch rule, which prevents the tackling of a play er who signals his intention of catch ing a punt. It is up to the rules committee to remedy the-defects, and-this committee! (.-uiiainis ui me louowing: jvi. ienni a, Cornell, chairman: E. K. Hall, Dart-" mouth, secretary; James A.

In a fast and exciting game of basket ball yesterday afternoon at the Turn Verein gymnasium, between teams repre senting the Turn Verein and the Catholic Young Men's Club, the Turners won by the score of 14 to 3.

SMITH FIT TO PAT I OFF OLD SCORE. Strangle and Toe Holds Barred, Match Will Be One of Best Ever Seen Here. Tomorrow night's big wrestling match in Merrill's Hall between Eddie O'Connell and Strangier smith promises to be the wrestling sensation of the year. When the men wreBtled a year ago last October O'Connell subjected Smith to the worst roughing he ever had received, and now that he is In better condition and is a more thorough student of the game .he promises to retaliate in full. Smith has been training faithfully." When he traveled with Charley Olson, the light heavyweight champion of the world, and with John Berg, and other "brainy" wrestlers he absorbed more about the wrestling game than any other welterweight who ever came out of the Northwest. He is far different from the man who faced O'Connell a year ago. On form the champion has "nothing on" him In any phase of the game. With the stipulation that the strangle hold, by which Smith became famous, and the toe hold, which brought to O'Con nell most of his fame, be barred from the match. It should be one of the best exhibitions that was ever brought off in Portland. Should Smith defeat O'Connell, he will be convlnoed that he has enough class to travel in the fastest company in the world, and will make plans to leave for Chicago and seek matches in the center of wrestling activity. The first three rows around the rlng side will be reserved. The other ringside seats will be left open to those who have plenty of leisure time. Reports from Schil ler's and Cadwell's are that the advance sale will eclipse that of any other wrest ling match held In Portland. An inter esting preliminary will be staged between two clever young wrestlers. The main event will be refereed by Herbert Green land.

' CHEMAWA, Or, Dec 11. (Special.) The Chemawa basketball team played the team from Mount Angel College this afternoon on the Chemawa floor and was defeated by a soore of 23 to 17. The Mount Angel team showed better teamwork throughout the game and outplayed the Indians in' the first half, the half ending with the score 16 to 8 in their ravor. . , In the second half the Indians took a brace, and, while they made eight points to the Mount Angers seven, the splendid teamwork of the latter won them the game. Knapp and Corgiet starred for them. The Indians had no stars. The Indian forwards were out of position nearly the entire game and the - result is largely attributable to that fact.

Active practice among . the various in terscholastic basketball squads is under, way, and with an unusually large num ber of candidates and a greater interest in the game than usual, both by players and fans, the coming season bids fair to be highly successful. From 20 to 36 aspiring tossers are turn ing out for each one of the several squads. The Portland Academy boys are practicing in their own gym, and likewise the Columbia University players. - The Lincoln Highs are using the spacious Y. M. C. A. gym. The Allen Preps, are doing their work in Ringler's gymnasium. The Washington High squad used the Ringler gym last season, but is endeavor ing now to secure use of the Y. M. C. A. Hall or the Multnomah gymnasium. The league games will start January 36, with a game between Lincoln High School and Portland Academy. There will be one more week for practice be fore the holidays and about four weeks after school opens again. All of the teams have scheduled outside games for the interim between now and the start of the season proper, and it is expected" they will all be in good form for the championship contests. Last season Lincoln High and Columbia tied for first place, when each won four games and lost one. The standing of the interscholastic teams last season was as follows : Won. Lost. P.C.

Norrls, Cobb, Wilson, Cookingham, Smith . and Brace, of last year's-team, -are back, and among the promising new men are Run yan, Bean, Condon, Bachelder and Car dinel. Runyan was the star 165-pound Lincoln High center last year. Norrls, the captain, who it was thought might be kept out of the game on ac count of bis injured ankle, is now in con dition and probably will play" at center. Norrls Is also a sprinter, high Jumper and pole vaulter of considerable fame, He weighs 135 pounds. Kietzer, who last year coached the victorious Newberg High School team, will have charge of the P. A. bunch this season. . Cobb, the manager, has scheduled outside games with Pacific University, Newberg High School end Mount Angel College. The Allen Prep, boys have been prac ticing since early last Fall, and at pres ent have about the fastest team lit the league. The team Is practically picked for the season and consists of the following: Center, Captain Shaver and Harr" for wards, Compton Hayes, and Burgnaro; guards, Gearhart, Cook and Smyth. Sari Crabbe, manager, is negotiating for games with Newberg High, Oregon City High, Hood River High and The Dalles High. : The Allen scores last season were as follows: ' , Allen Prep SS; Portland - Acad... 19 Allen Prep....... 27; Hill MIL Acad... 20 Allen Prep 13; Wash.

Lindsey is a guard and has had three years of basketball experience. Coach Fenster macher expects this year to draw his basketball material from the . football team. About 25 men are expected to turn out tomorrow for practice, and real work will begin. Three likely candidates are Herbert George, who played quarter part of the time last season; Appleton, re cently from the Boise High School, and Jackson, a track man. McAllen, captain of the Columbia team, has bad two years experience in basket ball. He is a fast man, weighing about 135 pounds, and is a football player ot some note. The Columbia lads are prac ticing hard every night, and Coach Cal lierate expects to have one of the strong est teams in the league. In their first practice game, of the season last Thurs day night against the Multnomah team, they lost by an overwhelming score, but displayed the makings of a good team. The team will be as follows:, subject to change: Clancey and Cochrane, for wards; Reed, center; Woo drum and Fitz gerald, guards. Prospects are again bright for the Lin coln High School, champion last year. Five teams are practicing every night and the enthusiasm is great. . Peterson, Vosper and Welch are the only old men back, but there is good new material, in cluding Coriander, Venstrand, Rice and Mensinger. Dave Welch is captain, and Mr. Lee, assistant physical' director of the T. M. C. A., is coach. GAJ S MAY COACH JOHNSOS Negro Picks His Compatriot to "Win. Prophesies Long Fight. It is believed in New York that Joe Gans, former lightweight champion, will be chief trainer for Jack Johnson, when the big negro starts his bard work for the mill with Jeffries.- Gans is also likely to be the chief second at the ringside. The reports that be was dying of consumption are a joke. He was about town as lively as a cricket and looking every bit as good as when he fought Nelson. . ''Johnson will win ,that fight," he de clared, "but it will be a hummer and will be a long one. Jack is the cleverest big man in the world, and a harder hit ter than any man who has ever- fought for the title, with the possible exception of Bob Fltzslmmons, who had a hand like a ham. I think he will tire Jeffries out, and after the thirtieth round be will have the big -bollermaker at his mercy." Billy Roche, the San Francisco referee, looks for the scrap to go the limit. Nei ther man is aggressive, be declared, and it Js not likely, either will take a chance. They will probably stall for 30 rounds -"ad than fight bard for tbe remainder." .- -it'" L( 1 !

The Dllworth Derbies advanced to second place by defeating the T. M., C. A.8 Friday night. The gilt-edged twirling of Henderson, combined with the almost faultless field-r inr .of his team-mates have won the Honeymans1 their games and at present it looks as though, they -will clinch the championship. In the game last Wednes- day with the Columbias the Honeyman J boys played without an error and Hender son allowed but eight hits and fanned 14. Backus, generally a hard man to find, and reputed the steadiest and most con sistent twlrler in the league, has been easy for .the Honeyman team In both games he has pitched against them. The games to be played this week are follows-: Monday, Honeymans vs. Dill- worth Derbies, Ringler's gymnasium; Wednesday, Columbias vs. Gold Seals, Ringler's gymnasium: Friday, T. M. C.

Ray Washburn has been appointed as official umpire to assist the veteran, Charlie Mackle. Washburn's work as arbitrator of the Coos Bay League was so satisfactory that Secretary Donnerberg, of the Portland organization, concluded to adopt him. The ignorance of many of the players in regard to playing rules is a source of con siderable annoyance to the officials. The impression among some is that the umpires- are mere ornaments. The decree has gone out from the management of the league that the umpires from now on will order obstreporous ones from the game. George Pembroke, the Honeyman whirl wind left shortstop haa coined the expres sion. "I love my assists, but - Oh, you base hita!" Magee at right short works well with Pembroke - and always plays consistently. Both lads are hard slug gers. . . Indoor baseball Is becoming more popu lar as ' the season progresses. Record breaking crowds- attended the games during the past .week, particularly on Wednesday night, when Ringler's gym was a bedlam. Elmore McKenzie, of the Derbies, has recovered his lost control and is pitch ing in his former clever style. Ed Shockley blew into the arena the other evening and was signed Imme diately by the Honeyman manager to an Infield position. Shockley played a great shortstop for the C. Y. M. C. team last season. M. Beagle has also signed with the hardware dealers. Jack McConnell Is in a class by him self when it comes to throwing out ambitious baserunners. This quiet, un assuming catcher of the Columbias nab bed four men last week. Harry K. Smith, president of the league, has departed for a trip through Washington and Idaho in the , interest of his business. C. Barrel! has been elected captain of the ilworth Derbies, to succeed McKenzie, who manages the fast Hast Side nine. Barrell Is a favorite with T. T. T. -devotees, and has the good-will of the fans. . Hewitt, Niece and Keyes, of the Y. M. C. A. nine, are a trio of crack players. Catcher Niece's work In particular Is always of the stellar variety, and he is a. great Inspiration to his teammates. Pretty Game In Store. A pretty game is in store for the fans tomorrow evening in the Ringler gym., when the Dllworth Derbies will oppose their ancient rivals, the Honey man Hardware Company. Both teams are evenly matched. Wednesday's game between the Gold Seals and the Columbias should prove interesting, as well as the contest for the cellar posi tion between the W. P. Fuller and Y. M. C. A. teams next Friday night. Manager Gene Flint, ot the W. P. Full ers, is anxious to communicate with a competent indoor pitcher. Beard- and Daisy are doing well considering their In experience, but are not strong enough to win games. Bill Daugherty, the hustling manager of the Columbia Hardware nine, has signed Roy Phillips, lately of the Honey man Club, to till an outfield position. Phillips is a timely hitter. Last Wednesday night, Todd met one of Henderson's curves for a smashing drive that came In contact with Ed Magee's face. The blow completely dazed the agile lnflelder and he collapsed, but revived In the dressing-room and finished the game, to the delight of his many ad mirers In the balcony. Paul Irwin and G. Causey are battling for honors at first base. Both men are consistent players and their fielding has finish. Gene Flint, of the Fullers, Is rap idly becoming one of the classiest players in the league. Mike Sweeney and Pat McHale probably will throw against the Derbies tomorrow evening, while the reliable Henderson will be present for emergencies. Hugh Mc Hale will attend to the catching. Beagle going to second base. George Robinson and Clark Hendrick are the Fullers mainstays In the Infield. and are developing Into fast material. Ray Snyder Is decidedly nifty In wielding the willow for the bristle distributers. Ed Morton, Williams and Bauer com prise a remarkable hitting trio on the Gold Seals team.
