I i 1 1 By Eduardo (Edward) Lane Sports Editor THREE MAJOR CHANGES IN RULES TO BRING HIGHER GRID SCORES According to soroe of he country’s best coaehes and sports authorities on football last year said that something must be done to football rules. They declared, “It’s getting harder for a team to score.” And believe you me, that is sure it. And so three changes were made—ne of them almost revolutionizes the game. I.ast season- a weakness in football which sent up a big howl from everyone, first the players began then the spectators howled. It wae the biggest since game came into being. From al! parts of the country came scoreless ties. In the East, Colate; West Southern California, Oregon State;North Notre !Danye, Chicago; and in the South, Mississippi, La fayette—everywhere teams found it tangled up with a scoreless tie. An eastern newspeper is quoted as having listed 187 games one November .Saturday and 118 of thm were either scorless ties or either team could only get across the goal line once As offeensive footbaM appeared to be developed to its zenith—barring seme radical use of the lateral pass—it was declared the offense should be aided and the defense handicapped through legislation. Otherwise those unsatisfactory scoless tes would never end. Lately there has been no sur prise, no puzzling new offense in foot ball. The game has been a test of one man against another and it is this rivalry that has produced those dis gusting scoreless ties and low-scor ing games. So the men in charge of rules decided to get busy and man date that first forward pass grounded behind the opponents goal line is no longer a touch back. It will be count ed as any other down, as any ordin ary incomplete pass between the up rights. The second pass ruled in complete behind the goal Ime will be a touch back as formerly. And re adily we are able to see how that ruling on the first pass will be a big aiid to scoring. Lest ye-/ tinte and time again teams have driven down the field to the opponents goal only to lose the hall on a pass over the line- And what will happen this year the team has a hundred to one chance to set re. Because now the first forward pass grounded over the goal line during any series of four downs does not mean loss of the ball unless thrown on the fourth down. Dick Hanley, Northwestern caoch says, “That means an offensive team may pass, and the defensive backs must guard against that possibility by remaining away from the line of scrimmage; so three fewer men are available to step running plays quick ly within the twenty-yard line. “And that means more scores.” The old penalty of five yeard in THE iHSW'ER IS ESSY A "hard-headed California editor who publishes the Oakdale Leader, wants to know who is going to pay the Cal ifornia taxes when the polticiass put tho existing power companies out of business, -with duplicate, tax-exempt, publicity-subsidized plants. He asks the question after noting that one gas anfl electric company alone, in his state, pays into the state tax coffers $847 an hour, or $7,427, 078-64 a year. There is only one answer: Those taxes, plus the additonal taxes re quired to finance unnecessary tax exempt competing plants, would be added to any remaining taxable prop erty. * \ WEAK AND SKINNY MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN Saved by new Vitamin* of Cod Liver Oil in ta*teles* tablet*.

According to the secretary of the Rules Commit tee, the rule had its’ tendency to force fear into a team and stop them from passing- And after that first penal ty a team had so far to go that their only hope would bo a pass- This rule also handicapped the offense. The offensice team has primarly been helped two ways by the elimina tion of that penalty. It now loses only a down for an incomplete for ward pass and therefore remains close enough to stil be able to make a first I down by using running plays- And the defense na longer knows what the ext play is likely to be. As was ' alwys sure of was a pass to follow a penalty. The ball itself has been renovized and cut down to almost and inch less n circumference. This effect the kioker and the passer most. Aid the passer. Tho University of Nebraska with its passing bockfield will be aided greatly by this, for its pass is a flat bullet pass and will be able to get much greater speed- On wet days the kicker will have a job getting of a punt of any distance, thus still fur ther speedin up the offense. But the important change is that rule first mentoned. The “zone of ntense resistance” that last long twen ty yards to the goal line which has been suddenly setpped after a trill ustained drive down the field. A rule concerning passing has help d all running plays- lit is the most revolutionary bit of legislation in cvotball in years. Sit tight and watch the thrills and ouchdowns pile the scores high. ■ ■ . i MANY NEGRO BALL PLAYERS COULD MAKE BiG LEAGUES SAYS ROLLfl- WilSON i NEW YORK, Sept 25—With the 1934 World’s Series only a few days away, the article by Roll* Wilson, veteran sports writer, Czar of Negro baseball and editor of the Phildelphia ‘Independent,” in the October “Crisis” entitled, “They Could Make the Big League,” is especially timely. Declaring that Negro baseball play ers have been “denied their place mi the baseball sun because of racial pre judice,” Mr. Wilson says that “Many cf the men I have seen playing the j game in the years gene and during the current season might have been ; big league stars had they been given J the chance,” and cites the fact that white fans always turn out in large numbers when Negro teams play. ‘Here in Phildelphia,” he writes, “you will find hundreds of white fans who will tell you that they prefer seeing colored league games to going to watch either the A’ or the Phils.” “Satchel” Paige Equals Dizzy Dean The writer asserts that “Satehell” Paige, the star Negro hurler. is the equal of Dizzy Dean or Rube Waddell; that Jim Bell the demon Negro out fielder ©f the Pittsburgh Crawfords, has been called “the fastest man in baseball” by the major league stars; that Babe Ruth has Never driven a ball further than Josh Gibson. Ted Trent of the Chicago Americans is another pitcher whom Wilson thinks ought to be in the big leagues. Buck Leonard of the Homestead Grays hits as steadily as Jimmy Foxx and Lou Gehrig. Wilson quotes Christy Mat thewson as once saying that he would sing Joe Mandez for the Giants if it were possible, while Oscar Charleston was once hailed by white sports crit ics as the superior of Max Carey. Among the othqfr Negro players Mr. Wilson cites as major league ma terial are John Henry LLoyd, Louis Santop, Dick Redd'ag, Dave Brown, Nip Winters, Phil Cockrell, Joe Wil liams, Rube Foster, and many others whom he feels “would be valuable decorations in any American or Na tional League ballyard.” I HOCKEY BALL PLAYERS WANTED WANTED—COLORED HOCKEY PLAYERS FOR TRAVELING CLUB GOOD SALARY AND EXPENSES PAID STARTING ON ROAD NOVEMBER 1.

The slippery eel in the form of Don Fra mein ^ust two plays squeezed across for the talley. Shan non’s kick was blocked. Hueber Stars for Glenwood Otto Huebner did most of the dirty work for Glenwood • He broke away in the third period for a 20-yard run and came back later in the period with a 16-yard run to put the ball on -he one yard line- Tee Jay held for a couple of downs but Heubner fin j ally plowed through for the touch-1 down. His kick failed.. m me closing quarter, Heubner let a pass from center get away frrom Kim and then kicked the ball back ward in trying to pick it up and Glen wood rrecovered on the 4-yard line ind Huebner’s punt from the end lone got only out to the 16-yard line when he was rushed fast and forced to kick high. Mr- Frame then went to work again. He lugged the ball time and time a ?ain which resulted in another touch down. Shannon ran across the line for the extra point. The Tee Jay defense stopped all that Glenwood could offer. The time when they reached the four-yard line in the first period was the only other time when the visitors threatened to score.

HOMING BIRDS By Paul Jay They’re coming back, back from their vacations spent in the great pities, the mountains, by th lakes. And we have stayed at home—«o many of us. Maybe home-keeping hearts are happiest, but just the same, we’ve felt cheated. It’s hard to see why, when every one else was going to the Fair, we couldn’t go—and yet—I wondr if we’re looking at the thing just right. Why shouldn’t we see through our friends’ eyes all the wonder ful things they have enjoyed? If we try, I’m sure we can get the wayfarers to tell us of many of their experiences. Their conversa tion will probably be like this, ‘‘Tre Fair,” Oh, there was sc had a wonderful time.” Not very explicit, I ’ll admit, but if we keep at it, I’m sure we’ll eventually get a report more like this: “The aFir,” Oh, there was so much to see I hardly know whal I liked best, but I believe if 1 had to make a choice, it would be the horticultural building.

This year the different villages : are particularly interesting. It’s almost like taking a trip to Europe to wander through the Belgian, the Irish and Scotch vil lages and see how,life is lived in j merry England. The Grand Entrance to the Ex-j position with its avenue of flags] is o colorful, so vibrant with life that it fills one with a keen ex' .peetancy for the pleasures that lie ]ahead. I thought before I went to the Pair that I would get a real thrill out of taking a sky ride or en joying a trip on the speed boats that flash up and down Lake Michigan, hut these in no way compared with the sensation I ex* porienced one day when I happen ed to be downtown. As it was Farmer’s week at the Fair, there had been a special fea ture planned for the celebration. It was a radio broadcast which was being given at the corner of State and Madison Streets, from i?an outdoor station that had been erected there. As you may imagine, this drew a tremendous throng. The pho tographers who were making i news reels of the affair, told us ■ there were at least five thousand , people in the crowd. Governor Mcr Laughlin and Mayor Kelly were ; among the number. Just, when the . program was at its heighth the 1 shrill, rasping creechs of a fire siren sent the crowd into a panic. There was a fire in theh Loop. I wa so frightened I couldn’t move. It seemed to me I couldn’t breathe. Ae far as I could see in every direction, there were peo ple, people, crowded as close as they could possibly get, to the broadcasting platform. I felt my self lifted and pushed backward with the crowd. As the fire en gines dashed past, so close that I could almost touch them, I realiz ed with a gasp of relief that I was gaf«. Evidently Chicagoans must be used to this sort of thing, for in this crisis not a ssingle person was injured. The whole experience was over in a few minutes. Order was restored and the program went forward as though nothing had happened. Must be wonderful to live in a place where something as thrill ing as this occurs o often that folks think nothing of it. Per sonally I’m sure that after all, the emotions I felt in viewing the Fair and seeing Chicago for the first time have passed, my heart will skip a beat every time I think of my narrow escape from death at thee corner of Madison and State Streets. Or was it escape? Per haps it was just a chance to realize how very exciting life may be for a very few minutee. To get back to the Fair, we saw the planetarium, the transport and administration buildings, Lin colns birthplace and a replica of Fort Dearborn. Interspersed -with our trips to the air were sight seeing tours about town, when we passed through Chicago’s three largest parks, as well as many of its small ones. "We spent coniderable time in the Field Museum, went for a boat ride on the lake, enjoyed sev eral hours, spent in the shopping district, and rode miles and miles on the street car and the elevated. And now it’ all over, the won derful days and the glorious nights.

MUNIT ION'S DISCLOSURES BECOME TOO HOT FOR COM FORT IN HIGH PLACE* By Federated Press WASHINGTON—(FP) — In creasing pressure to clamp down on the disclosures made by the! Senate munitions committee be-j came evident on Sept. 14, when s Secretary of State (Hull and Sec-1 retarv of Commerce Roper con" ferred with the committee. Some of the evidence produced has struck uncomfortably close to ; home, with its revelations of close ; government connections with the rn.imitions barons. I Hull is believed in this private conference to Have complained to the committee that the State T>ept. was being swamped with protests from, foreign govern ments. which have also been in volved in the disclosures of the international muni-tons racket. Roper is understood to have in timated that American business [ in foreign countries would suffer, if the lid were not clamped down. That the Gerrrtan Nazis, when, they seized power in 1933, were armed with United States guns was indicated in some of the cor respondence of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours company, which was placed on the record. It intimat ed that the Nazis used small arms shipped from the United States and smuggled across the German; border from Holland. Bribes, or so-called "‘commis j sions,paid to high Chinese mil-| tary officals by a Du Pont agent i in 1932 were revealed at the hear ings. But following the con ference of the committee with Hull and Roper, the names of the officials were withheld from the record. Negotiations of the Du Pont company for selling the rights to a secret process to the big Mitsui company ef Japan, in the same year, also figured in the hearings. Rumors that nationalization of munitions manufacture might he an outcome of the investigation have been heavily discounted in informed ouarters n Washington State eDpt officials told Federat ed Press that they wotdd be absolutely astounded if Pres. Roosevelt took any action in this direction, since t would be eon* trary to the whole policy which the government has consistently followed for some time. This pol -icy is for supervision and control of arms manufacture by interna - tional action, through lie- using and other similar means, and is being worked out at successive Geneva arms conferences. Pullman Porters’ Union Invades Pittsburgh District Sunday afternoon in the Cen* frral Baptist Church, The Brother hood of Sleeping Car oPrters staged a monster mass meeting to present to the pullrnan porters the facts about the adoption of the amendments to he Railway Labor Act and the Pension Law by the last Congress. A. Philip Randolph, Uational President told the story of the long, hard and bitter struggle the porters have passed through in order o build the Birothcrhood. He explained how the security of the job of the pullrnan porter in particular, and the railway work er in general, was definitelyl Ink ed with a national labor organiza tion. He indicated, also, that de spite the existence of the Pension Law, no pullrnan porter had any certainty of securing benefits therefrom unless he was a part of a national labor organization which could give him protection and support to the cud of making his job secure. The hours of work of the porters were discussed, and Mr. Randolph howed how some three or more thousand porters had been furloughed or put on the extra board because of the chain-ganging of runs and the in humanly long hours porters put ih. The remedy for this, he con* tend'ed, consisted in the securing of the 240 work month through the instrumentality of a national labor organization, such as the Brotherhood, as provided by the new rai-1 law. A sensational and remarkable expose of the existing contract under which porters work, was made by Mr. M. P. Webster, First Vice President of the Brother hood. He read the actual contract itself to the vast amfience, to the utter amazemen and surprise of the porters and public. It ^rous ed the porters and audience so profoundly that I>r. Ward, pastor of the church, got up and made the public inquiry as to who had signed such a notorious docu rnent. Mr. Webster also discussed ths new fake porter organization known as the Pullman Porters and Maids Protective Association. He styled it as a mere s oke screen for the old company union known as the Plan of Employe Representation. He said that the same old crowd who had deceiv ed the porters under the o'd plan was behind this new scheme. The chairman of the meeting was Mr. Bennie Smith, Second Vice President of the c Friers Union. A musical program was render ed on the occasion. Monday and Tuesday in the afternoon and evening, meetings were held in the Y. M. 0. A., and the porters made a remark a We showing in joining the organiza tion. From Pittsburgh, Messrs. Ran dolph and V ebster will return to Chicago, and from there they will go to San Francisco to attend the convention as delegates of the American Federation of Labor.
