Seven Changes
Made In Prep
Football Code
Seven minor rule changes have been written into the national
prep football rule for 1947 by the National Federation's football
committee. No major code changes were made by the committee.
The substitution rule, first chanKe of the committee, has been
modified to permit two, but not more, members of the same
team to enter without penalty when the ball is dead and the
clock is running. Proper restrictions will be inserted to prevent
delay of the game. The substitution must be completed before
the ball Is snapped.
When the ball is dead and the clock stopped, any number
of subs may enter. This is not a change. However, an official
can acknowledge the report by a player of a substitution just
. by wave of hand, rather than having the player come to him,
as has been the rule in the past.
The rule concerning the position of a player on tne une 01
'scrimmage has been modified to bring the rule into harmony
with what is considered "good
Bums Lose
To Cards
i By The Associated Press
' Until the Brooklyn Dodgers
learn how to beat the St. Louis
Cardinals, the Flatbush faithful
, would do well to take their pen
, nant hopes with a grain of salt.
In three starts against the fa
'vorcd Red Birds, the Durocher
dandies have played them close
" to the vest each time but drop
l ped three straight decisions.
Their once-healthy lead has now
shrunk to two games.
Brooklyn's latest defeat, by a (
t slender 3-2 score, last night in
St. Louis, hardly comes under
J the heading of a major disaster
at tli is early date but it could
be an ominous portent of things
J to come.
Ted Wilks, who pitched only
J the .last inning after Brecheen
, was lifted for a pinch-hitter, took
the verdict over Reliefer Art
Herring, who was charged with
I his first loss of the season.
Vacating Cellar
The Phillies have won nine
of their last 13 starts and three t-
en to vacate, the National league
J dungeon.
A 9-8 victory over the sizzling
Chicago Cubs wis the latest
J Phil accomplishment. After Hank
Borowy had held them without
a hit for seven innings, they ral-
lied to knock the 1945 pennant
t ace out of the box and won the
r game in the ninth on Frank Mc-
Cormick's two-run double.
J Boston cooled off the Pitts-
burgh Pirates' fifth place hopes
with a 10-5 decision for Ed
; Wright over Preacher Roe and a
, brilliant relief job by Bob Mai-
- loy saved 'Cincinnati a 7-5 tri-
umph over New York.
1 Bosox Pad Margin
While the Cards were tighten
t ing the National chase, the Bos
; ton Red Sox were pulling away
to a nine-game American league
i lead over the runnerup New
? York Yankees.
Joe Cronin got the first win
. of the season out of Bill But-
- land although he had to relieve
; him with Karl Johnson in the
. late stages to hold off Cleveland,
- 6-3. In their last 12 games the
' Sox are unbeaten, boasting 11
' victories and one tie. Rudy York
started Steve Gromek to an
ealy doom with a three-run
:.. homer in the fourth.
Detroit defeated the Yanks
11-3 on Virgil Trucks' five-bit
-, hurling and a 12-blow attack.
Al Gettel, the f irst of four Yank
. pitchers, was around just long
; enough to be charged with his
, fourth loss.
i Roger Wolff lost a five-hit
, game to St Louis when Sam
Zoldak parcelled out 11 safeties
but downed Washington, 2-1.
Chicago nipped Philadelphia,
- 3-1.

practice. Under the past rule.
it is ditlicuit ana impractical lor
a player to have one hand and
the opposite foot within 12
inches of the scrimmage line
without his head in advance of
the line. The modification pro
vides that if one or both hands
are on the ground, it is only nec
essary for tlie grounded hand to
be w'ithin 12 inches of the line.
The present requirement that
all linemen of the team in pos
session of the ball must face the
opposite goal will be retained.
The rule concerning the
awarding of the ball on a back
ward pass or fumble going out
of bounds between the goal
lines will be brought into har
mony with what is done when
nnv nav nr fnmhlA i in fliffht
or ;s on tne ground and not in
possession of any player.
In all cases, the ball is con
sidered in possession of the
team whose player passed or
fumbled the ball, unless actual
ly in possession of an opposing
member of the team. A ball
merely touched, kicked, or in
any way lost by a player of the
other team in an attempt to in
tercept it, and going out of
bounds after such contact, will
be awarded to the original play
er, rather than the player who
merely touched, and did not se
cure possession, of the ball.
The penalty for an illegal
signal for fair catch will be cut
to five yards, instead of fifteen.
This foul is a minor technical
ity. The ball will be penalized
from the spot it was put into
play.
In snapping the ball, the cen
ter will be permitted to raise
one end of the ball, under pre
scribed limits, prior to the
actual snap. These limitations
specify that the raised ball shall
not elevate the long axis more
than approximately 45 degrees
with the ground, and that the
raising must be done at the time
the player first grasps the ball.
The player must clearly indi
cate, at that time, his intentions
of lifting one end of the ball or
not
Use of a soft artificial tee will
be permitted in kicking.
Not haying seven players on
the scrimmage line will be now
considered a form of offside,
and the penalty will be the
same as for an offside of any
kind. The situation is handled
the same as when the opposing
team does not have five players
within five yards of the free
kick line when the kick is made.
The players are considered too
far behind the line.
Another proposal brought up
and discussed considerably was
the fumble rule to permit the
defense to advance the bail
after it strikes the ground, but
the committee voted to retain
the rule as it has been only a
fumble or backward pass
caught in flight can be advanced
by the defense.
A second rule aired by the
committee was the penalty for
running into the kicker. At
present the rule provides for a
five-yard penalty if a member
of the opposing team runs into
a kicker, 15-yard penalty if the
kicker is knocked down or ,the
other player is guilty of rough
play. The committee voted to
retain the present rule.
These changes, 'being all
minor and work for the offi
cials, will not change the game
from the spectator point of
view.

The bright boys who proved

terday when the Pacific coast.
conference decided to give back
the year of eligibility lost be
cause they were smnrt enough
to graduate in three years.
Coach, faculty representatives
and athletic directors of the con
ference schools, holding their
summer meeting here, pointed
out these athletes were being
penalized for being intelligent.
Boys who flunked in naval sci
ence or similar war-born courses
couldn't finish in three years
and retained their four-year eli
gibility. Under the new plan, a man i
who has earned a bachelor of
science degree in a wartime ac
celerated course could return for
another season of athletic com
petition. Every school in the
circuit has several such wartime
graduates, delegates said.
Another idea developed late
yesterday was to aid the men
who are inducted during their
college terms. If an athlete com
peted for part of a season and
then was inducted, a full season
of eligibility in his sport would
be restored to him upon his re
turn from service.

Jack Johnson Dies From

RALEIGH, N. C, June 11 (PI
Jack Johnson, the world's first
negro .heavyweight boxing
champion, is dead, but probably
the controversy which sprang
from his scrap with Jess Willard
30 years ago will continue as
long as men battle each other
in the ring.
The ex-champion, 68, died
here yesterday of injuries suf
fered when his automobile
struck a light pole and over
turned near Franklinton while
en route to New York from Tex
as, where he recently had con
cluded a personal appearance

His death in a local hospital,

As the Pacific Coast Baseball
league approached its player
limit deadline Manager Casey
Stengel today cast a practiced
glance down the roster of his
leading Oakland Acorns and
picked the left side of his in-;
field as the club's vulnerable j
spot.
To remedy the weakness and!
to round out the club for its
pennant bid, said Stengel, Oak
land hopes to have a new short
stop from the major leagues be
fore the day is over.
The veteran manager did not
name the player the Oakland
management has in mind but in
dicated that Bill Hart, now hold
ing down shortstop, might move
over to the third sack. Until
he gets the new infieldcr, Sten
gel said, Johnny Price and
Charley Metro will alternate on
third.
Coast league clubs have to
whittle their rosters down to 25
players by midnight Saturday.
The Acorns, holding a two-game
league margin despite their se
ries setback, four games to three,
last week at the hands of second
ranking San Francisco, have 27
men.

Italian mauler himself, are now
on display in Dick Reeder's

Angelo, for a consideration, is
staking the diadem in a return
title match with Strongman
Georges Dusette, the fight to go
no limit to a finish.
The last time the two huskies
met, two weeks ago, the bout
was for six-rounds and ended in
a onc-fall-each draw, although
Dusette was able to get away
under his own steam while Mar
tino was hauled away by
handlers.
The consideration for which
Martino is laying his champion
ship on the line is $500 cash, to
be given to him when he steps
into the ring Thursday night.
Owner of the cash Is Georges
Dusette. Another lucrative in
ducement offered Angelo was
the lion's share of the purse,
which he will also take, win or
lose.
A public weighing-in cere
mony will also be held Thursday
afternoon, probably in the
KFLW studio. Weight require
ment for the junior heavy title
is 190 pounds or less and both
grapplers should come under
that with ease.
