THE DAILY NEBRA8KAN W r f y u I iIWAK hUUIbALL UAMtW Right to Question Decisions Be longs to Captain. Nothing Is More Repulsive to 8pec tators Than Constant 8quabbles Between Competitors and Offi cials During Contest. In footbnll as well na in every brunch of Bport. nothing Is more re pulslve to spectators than constant squabbles between competitors and officials. To question the decision of Judges at a horserace, or a footrace, automo bile, or trotting ruce simple Is a waste of time, and these decisions cannot be reversed uiiIobb "there Ib a wrong Interpretation of ruleH which govern inch contemn. If coacheB would enforce a rule that only captains of elevens could ques tion or ask an Interpretation of nn offi cial's decision football certainly would be placed on a higher plane and one of the most dlBtastefu! features of the game so far as the spectators are concerned would be obliterated, writes Walter Kckersnll in tho Chicago Trib une. Football officials are selected be cause of their known Impartiality their thorough knowledge of the rules, and their sense of honor. The men, all college graduates, of ficiating in gridiron contests this year have been put to many severe tests, and In few Instances have they erred Spectators never should condemn an official for levying a penalty, for the arbiters of the game are In better po sition and understand more thoroughly tho exact Interpretations of the rules Use of handB In the Interference, coaching from the side lines, holding In the line. offBide play, and a num ber of other Infringements of the rules are points which the average spectator does not see, but when an official inlllcts penalties for such breaches of the rules he generally meets with criticism from the stands. Those who have played football and have been in many hard fought con tests have had fouls called when they did not believe they were guilty of any Infringement. In such cases, these players have been so carried away with the excitement of the con tests as to bo unconscious of any breaches in the rules they made, but -when apprised of the conditions by officials they have admitted their guilt. In the large universities, where it is part of the preparation of an eleven to teach the playerH the rules and their possibilities, the players seldom question an official's de'clBlon. Tho members of theBe teams are bo well versed in the rules as to know whon an arbiter' declBlon Is right or wrong and for this reason few disputes arise. If the colleges in the eastern, west em, and Missouri valley conferences would follow the precedent established at West Point, one of the most dis tasteful features of football would bo done away with. Discipline relguH su preme at the army Institution. The 'captain of a footbull team controls hs men the same oh a colonel of u regi ment or captain of a company. If any member of a West Point football eleven questions the orders of the captain he must report to higher of ficials as soon as the same Is com pleted if the captain flleB charges.
