The New OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning. April 19, 1920 PAGE SEVEN War Breaks Out On Football Fumble Rule PENNSYLVANIA MAN PROTESTS Reaction Almost Unanimous ly Unfavorable, Hutch inson Says PHILADELPHIA. April 18. (AP) Emphatic protest against the new football fumble rule and a plea that Its application be post nnned until 1930 are made by Sydney E. Hutchinson, chairman of the council on athletics and the football committee or the univer sity of Pennsylvania, in an ar ticle for "Franklin Field Illus trated." "Certainly every effort should be made not to saddle upon the game a radical innovation that of fends the millions who have help ed to make football America's most popular outdoor sport," he asserts. Declaring that the reaction to the change in the rules which makes it illegal for a player on the defending side to run with a fumbled ball, "has been almost unanimously unfavorable," Mr. Hutchinson formally recommends: "That because of the strong op position expressed to this particu lar rule, the rules committee post pone its application until 1930, and that In the meantime it make an effort to learn the real senti ment of the entire college world, for which It legislates, with re gard to this change." NEW YORK. April 18. (AP) Any idea that football leaders generally did not have opportun ity to express their opinion before the new fumble provision was adopted was termed "absurd" by Chairman Edward K. Hall of the national football rules committee today when informed of the pro test made by Sydney E. Hutchin son of Pennsylvania. Instead of being put over In summary fashion, he asserted, the rule making a, fumble dead at the point of recovery by the defensive team has been "considered off and on for several years and was dis cussed at great length at a meet ing a year ago" .It was laid on the table at that time, he said, and meanwhile was subject to consid erable discussion in football cir cles and in the newspapers. NEW BRIDGE .APPROVED Construction of a new bridge over the Rogue river at Grants I'ass and improvement of the Fre- riont highway from Lakeview to the California line are two of the projects the state highway com mission has placed on the 1930 Iiiiflding program. Weather Is Doubtful as Season Due The weather is beginning to be uncertain again after three bright, sunshiny days, but there's still a pretty good chance that the Oregon-Washington league opening games can be played Sunday, and a lot of talk la being bandied about aver the probable outcome. The S Jem Senators play Mon tavllla here, and the fans are looking forward confidently to a red hot game, lilts between the Senators and Montavilla have al ways been clo3e, although in the last (wo years the Salem teaca has managed to vin a majority of them. Two years agu Montavilla was Salem's principal rival in the Portland City league, and Salem won out af .er a series of tough games. They were In different leagues last year, so they played only one game, here Memorial day, and the Senators won that, Z to 4. That was on of many games that the Senators won last year by a single run. Most of those de ciding runs were scored on squeeze plays or some similar strategy engineered by "Frisco" Edwards, but not this one. The only strategy employed was Luke Gill's in grasping an opportunity to smack a home run over the left field fence.

The Willamette university base ball squad will travel to Eugene today to engage In a thre game series with the University of Ore gon ball tossers. One game will be played today and two Saturday. Coach "Spec" Keene of Willam ette was fairly well pleased with the showing' his team made at Corvallls Wednesday against the Oregon State team despite the fact, .that the Staters won 7 to2. KiminkI did excellent work on the mound for Willamette con sidering that he was facing big odds la his first collegiate game. The Staters got numerous hits but both Klmlnki and Van Nice, who pitched the latter part of the game, kept them well scattered and few runs were earned against them. Lack of a sufficiently large pitching staff will undoubtedly handicap the Bearcats In the ser ies at Eugene, and McMullin and Gibson may be called upon to as sist the regular moundsmen. Against the Oregon team which Is particularly strong in the pitch ing department, the Willamette batsmen may do little better than they did against Oregon State, but Keene is confident that his boys wil lshow more results at the plate after a few more games and after they have more opportunity for batting practice.
