PAGE TWO I IE EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON February 15, .1932 Pelicans In Sporting Defeat Dwtght French, Klam ath Basketball Coach, Adheres to Athletic Code. Chiloquin En ter Just Protest JJy JUK J-IGXEV Thar his been sufficient evidence recently to describe Dwlsht French ss ons coach la this sthlstie world who Ideals la sport and team co operation have not been blighted by he sll-crushing desire for "victory at any price." Because French ad hered strictly to the athletic code, the Klamath basketball team was scattered Friday Bight In defeat. Don't think for a moment French didn't want to win that first same of the Aibland ser ies, but, although bis patched np linenp struggled bravely, the content went down on the wrong side of the record tor a team which has had mighty few reverses this season, e e e Actually, the tame was lost by the two young men sitting on the bench. Bay Allea and Dick Sheets, rather then the reran team on the floor. Bheets and Allen, both regu lars, broke the rales of the team to play an outside gsm with tha Klamath Athletic club, also known as the Klam ath All-fitars. last Monday against Bonania, Tha boys, perhaps anlntan ti on ally. Jeopardised their elig ibility and their physical tu nes tor lntsrscholastie compe tition. Tha fact that they ware held from tha first tame against Ashland was justifiable discipline. French was astounded when ha learned a pair of his out standing players bad jumped the team. and. although he was pretty certain of defeat it ha withheld them from the lineup, he felt a loss aader those drenmstances was worth mora than Indifference to ethic. e Chiloquin doesn't believe It has had Its right place in tha basketball ana. It la quite confident Its quintet Is better than tha Pelican's. And since that may be thoroughly cor rect. It la hoped tha county high school will have an op portunity to prove Its super iority. Bend has bean Klamath's only major rival la tha regu lar district schedule, and It that appears anjust It will be balanced .oft In tha county tournament to determine the outstanding teams to repre sent tha region In tha district championship play-off at Red mond. Tha winner of tha dis trict tourney will go to tha an nual state Interscholastic bas ketball championships at Salem la March. Klamath and Chilo quin, two of the leading teams la the county, probably will meet Is tha eounty tourney. Because wa are eager to see Chiloquin go ahead la basket ball activities we reprint some thing of aa editorial protest appearing In tha Chiloquin Eerie w: "We mnst eall attention ot tha sporting editor of the Klamath News to tha state ment that Klamath Falls team, undefeated. Is going to Bend this week to play that team, which Is also tha leading eon tender for th state tourna ment from Its district. Klam ath Falls Is probably the lead ing contender In this hoop dis trict alright, but only on paper. . Eh has not yet plsysd a sin gle contest with any team In this county nor any Lake coun ty team, which comprises her "hoop district," On th other hand Chiloquin haa played practically every team In this county snd won every start by a wide margin. Chiloquin also filayed Med (or d to a standstill oiing In th flnsl minutes ot the gsm by a four point mar gin, which la quite a contrast to tha ten point beating Klam ath took at th hands of th pear pickers. "We would also call atten tion to the fact that Chiloquin defeated Grants Pass rather easily as did Klamath Falls. Bo by way ot comparison and number of games played and potential strength of the two teams Klamath Falls hss no right to make such exaggerated claims for the county hoop title. W hsrbor th faint suspicion that when sh does eventually get Into the gams with Chiloquin sh may find a worthy foe and a stumbling block for her unfounded claims of superiority. "This correction Is offered our worthy contemporary in a spl.it of ialr plsy. thst tesms Ilk Chiloquin can be given their Just shar of credit."

Feb. 1. (Pi The Nstlonsl football rules committee announced six drastic modifications of th playing cod today. In an effort to check th tend ency toward Increasing tnjuriea" th committee decided: 1 To restrict th formation ot th team rereirlng the klckoff by requiring that five players ot the receiving team remain on their st-yard line until the ball Is kick ed: and to allow the klckoff to be made either by piece-kick, punt or drop-kick. I To forbid players on ths de fense to strike sn opponent on th head, neck or far wlta hand, wrist, forearm or elbow. S To liberalise th substitu tions rule to allow a player with drawn from th gam to re-enter once In any subsequent period. 4 To forbid use ot the flying block or tackle. i To make th ball "dead1 whea any part of tha ball car rier's body except his hands or feet touch th gronnd. ( To amplify th ruls regard ing eejulpment so as to require padding ot hard and unyielding substances with felt, foam rubber or other soft padding at least three-eights of aa Inch thick. Blame Opra Game The chsnges wr termed by Chairman E. K. Hall th "most Important, la making the game safe for th players, since the modifications of 10I and 107." Altbougbt It hsd been found that th "M-ealled fatality list accredited was more then 10 per cent entirely misleading and inac curate." Hall aald, the committee had noted an increasing number of Injnrlea, due. It was believed, to th "intensive development of th open game." "Th result." Hsll explained, "has been to bring Into th gam certain practice or styles ot play, most ot them entirely legltlmste and within the spirit ofth rules, which are tending, in th opinion ot th committee, to bring Into the gam certain new source ot hat ard to the players." It Is to combat this tendency that th modifications hsve been adopted. Lrsa Chaare for Wedge Th new klckoff rule Is aimed directly at tha so-cslled "flying wedge" form of interference. With fire men of the receiving side required to remain on their 46-yard line, there will be much la-. chsnce for an effective "fly ing wedge" to form about the re- celrer. ' The rule also prorldes thst th receiving team must be giren the opportunity to make a fair catch without Interference by members of th kicking team, eren though th latter are on side. Although public agitation last fall orer football deaths centered oa th "flying wedge ss th prin cipal offender. Hall said "the facts show this Is not the ess." Penalty He-vere Th new rule regarding th us of the hand by players on th defense was adopted to meet th protests of soma coache who ssld players were dsllrerlng weaken ing and dangerous "rabbit punches" on th necks of oppos ing linemen. Violation ot ths new rule calls for disqualification ot th plsyer and th loss of hslf the distance to th offending team's gosl-llns. Th liberalised rul en substi tute was adopted with th idea ot allowing tired players to rest without losing their place In th gsm. Th new rule further prorldes thst th team making a substitu tion Is to be eharged with a "time out" unless time already is out for soma reason or unless th substitution la mad tor aa Injur ed player.

"There ar other things which can be don which will tend still further to minimis tb Injuries but they are ouwlde of th Juris diction of ths rales committee. The committee purposes, however, to msks definite recommendations to officials and coaches as to whst la our Judgment they can do to still further reduce injuries, and also send a letter of recommenda tion to high schools and unor ganised team as to wsys by which they may eliminate the number of serious injuries by bet ter supervision and prompt intel ligent attention to trivial or minor injuries." .
