and boxes in addition to temporary
blc calitrs at each end of the field.

Illinois' line. A. Devine intercepted

Foot BaU Officials Have No
Snap Job Fans Razz Them for
Decisions Which Are Correct
By sbi metzger.
Foot ball officials have no soft
snap. Picking up $1W and expenses
for a Saturday afternoon on a big
college gridiron handling a game be
tween two heated rivals is about the
meanest little task ever assigned in
sport. It's a good thing the sale of
pop bottles is prohibited on most
gridirons, else the hospitals f oour
educational institutions would be spe
cializing on cracked skulls most of
the fall. And in 99 cases out of
100 the official who gets roasted is
correcQt. The trouble is the crowd
doesn't know the code and the same
may be said of a great many players.
Official Waa Correct
Pity the poor official I In a big
game last year a forward pass was
attempted by one eleven and caught
by the defensive halfback, who ran
it back some 20-odd yards. The offi
cial immediately, took the ball from
the team which had .caught it, gave
it to the team which had attempted
the pass at the spot the ball was last
put in play, and a howl ot derision
arose. It looked to the man in the
stands like a deliberate case of rob
beryand he voiced his sentiments in
no soft words.
As a matter of fact, the o;cial was
correct. The pass had been thrown
from a point less than 5 yards be
hind the line of scrimmage. As the
pass must be made from a point 5
yards or more behind the -scrim
mage this was an illegal pass. And
to clinch matters for the official, the
code does not permit a team on de
fense to decline a penalty for an il
legal forward pass. But make- a
crowd of the home boys see that!
Say, it can't be done.
Playing the Game.' '
In the good old iays before the
rules of the game were as fool proof
as they are now Michigan, tutored
by Yost, was playing the Carlisle
Indians, "Hurry Up" was in the
heyday of his career at the time and
when the Indians, piloted by Pop
Warner, cut loose with a new
wrinkle on attack that threatened
massacre, Yost husher to the field,
informed the officials he would take
the 15-yard penalty ' for coaching,
stopped the game, gave his team in
structions in how to break up the
particular formation and saved the
day. Today, that would be unsports
manlike conduct, grievously pun
ished. But that was the rule in
the good old days.
Once, when playing a minor game,
one of the officials was a coach of
our tear. He forgot for the moment
and balled out one of our backs for a
boner. Immediately, he caught the
idea and penalized us for coaching.
It was a good thing that was a minor
gamel -Saved
From Mob.
The duties of various officials is
not understood bv the fan. either,
One year the mob did rush the of
ficial in a game in Virginia. A state
team was playing a Yankee outfit
in a neutral city which backed the
state team to a man. The home team
was behind three points near the end
when it broke away for a 60-yard
end run for what looked like the
winning score. The umpire was busy
all the while honking his horn but
that did not stop the play, nor was
it heard by the crowd. He had de
tected by an end of the state team
playing opposite the tackle around
whom this long run was sent.
.When the referee got to he ball he
Mw Jbv Vll m j A rpf jfeS Sql iX (

XWuT -M; ssUL II iv Wn mmm iwL
"Triple ttszHt"
picked It u( from where it hid 1een
touched down and walked back up
the field to where the. umpire, had
caught the holding. Then he, act
ing under instructions from the um
pire, paced off the 15-yard penalty.
Immedia'tely the crowd rushed. But
they picked the wrong man in this
case the referee. Fortunately, the
two teams and their .substitutes
rescued him from harm. But such
is mob psychology and action. It
hits the right idea less than half the
time. No reason for it.

Dope Seldom Rings True.
Unquestionably Ruth's absence in
the latter stanza of the series had its
effect on the Huggins men. They
did well without his help, but un
doubtedly they would have done
much better had he been . fit and
played the big set through.
It is the tradition of world series
history that the "dope" rarely runs
true. Those of whom the most was
expected failed to shape up, for
the most part Rather it was they
of whom little was expected, Raw
lings, McNally and Fewster in par
ticular, who flashed into prominence.
Kelly, of whom much sugging was
expected, was the greatest disappointment-
on offense of the eight
games. Many there are who contend
"buck fever" or stage fright had a
deal to do with the fall down of
Bill Lange's nephew.
Frankie Frisch started out to be
the hitting marvel, and wound up in
a great slump which pulled his aver
age down to normal, or even a lit
tle below that. eGorge Burns did
a minimum of timely hitting and was
fanned four times in the pinches by
the youthful , Hoyt. Nevertheless
his hit total was 11 and he came with
in one of tieing the world series hit
ting record.
Giant Act Ineffective.
Fred Toney, most effective of the
pitchers of the Giants in the league
season, was knocked out of the box
in the third inning of his first start
and in the first inning of his sec
ond chance at the American leaguers.
Nehf,' the Giants' leading boxman,
was beaten twice by Hoyt and his
fellow Yanks before he managed to
slip over a victory. Shawkey and
Quinn, both 'good in the pennant
pursuit, proved wholly inadequate to
staunch the flow of Giant hits.
The Giant infield, on the whole,
did not excell the Yanks as had
been expected. '
The third base play of Frisch was
technically not good, but for the
success of the team it was perfect
Bancroft failed to star at short, as
had been expected, and Peck outhit
him. Rawlings and Kelly, neither de
fensive stars of the league season,
fielded sensationally.
The Yanks were the masters of
the Giants in the three games that
they won and were as thoroughly or
more thoroughly outplayed in two
that they lost The Yanks were ex
cusably outplayed in the fourth of
the series when their pitchers slipped
in trying to field the ball, and they
were overwhelmed by their own mis
takes in the last two of the con
tests. Hitters Went Blind.
Eliminating the two games in
which Ward and Peckinpaugh blun
dered into defeats for their canse,
the next great weakness of the
Yanks and the weakness which was
in evidence all through the series,
including even the games which
were won by the Yanks, was the
inefficient batting of the midriff of
the Yank batting order. The series
averages of the players show these
men hit for a total percentage of
.199 5-8, as against 273 5-6 on the
part of the mid batting array of
the Giants.
