All Coach Little wants them ! to go is to Keep out. oi me way. ol He asHs Asa tJusnneii, ex- lecutive director of the Central Office for Eastern Intercollegiate Athletics, to explain in a few 1 thousand well chosen words why manv referees, particularly dur ing the past fall, stood on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage scrim-mage to the head linesman. In many games the past season the ' referee stationed Mmself practically prac-tically on the line of scrimmage and by the defensive end. Tire result was that many times delayed reverses or end runs found him in the way. The referee had to run to the sideline. side-line. Pr6fessor Little asks how a referee with his back to 22 men haps this is advanced technique in officiating, but if it is, the old professor has to be aold. Numerous coaches complained about both the head linesman and referee obstructing the progress of plays. Last autumn more teams than ever used the man in motion. When the man in motion went in motion he flanked either the referee or the head linesman, who had moved in so close to the players that when the ball went in motion the flanker was outside of the linesman, who was in everyone's way, including his own. To Professor Little's way of thinking, if the referee can't be stationed behind the offense, the umpire where he is and the head linesman on the line of scrimmage, scrim-mage, sufficiently far away ao that he will not be caught in reverse and end runs, it must be that the officials are becoming' becom-ing' near-sighted. That is the only reason the old professor can see for their having to get any closer in order not to miss anything. any-thing. Unless officials arc put in their places Professor Little fears that one of these fine autumn afternoons after-noons one or two officials are going to be knocked down and trampled to - death by a lot of interferers and one ball-carrier. The old professor warns that if the officials do not stand where PROVO STEELERS VS.

JASTART 14. 14 lStUl nrTUVLX Bill Hulse, Rudy Simms To Be Yatched In Feature Events At Track Opening By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (ED Big Bill Hulse and brown-skinned Rudy Simms Command the attention atten-tion of track experts as they open the Indoor running season tomor row night in the Grover Cleveland A. C. meet at the Seventh Regiment Regi-ment Armory, because: ' (1) Burley Blonde Hulse of the New York A. C. may establish a new indoor world record for the mile, before the season closes, and (2) Simms may develop into the first truly great negro mile runner. run-ner. As these two men begin pounding pound-ing around the Armory track, the most interested spectator will be Coach Emil Von Elling of New York university, who groomed both principals. Von Elling put wings on the feet of Hulse, now a research chemist in Passais, N. J., just a3 he gave speed to Leslie Mac Mitchell, and last year's Frank Dixon. And he is sharpening Rudy Simms, a Harlem rtegro youngster who is a freshman at New York U., and who ran the mile as senior at De Witt Clinton high school last summer in 4:17.5. Dead-vanned Von Elling particularly par-ticularly is interested in Simms because be-cause this well-proportioned negro, who packs about 160 pounds on a five-foot ten chassis, may be able to run for N. Y. U. for four years because he is an engineering student. stu-dent. There is a possibility that Uncle Sam may not claim hiin ml I LOVE at first bite At the very first nip warm, grateful feeling feeling that ' For Hart Schaffner & Marx build coats with the idea that the primary purpose of a, greatcoat is to keep you warm.

If young Simms lasts four years with N. Y. U. and Von Elling he may achieve the clocking and status that Von Elling foresaw for Frank Dixon, the grand negro miler who beat Gil Dodds three times last year before going into service. Dixon of N. Y. U., who was clicking off the mile in less thaa 4:10, was the best negro miler in track history, although the chron-icile chron-icile of running is studded witjh great nero performers, all of their great names were associated with shorter distances than the mile. They specialized is the sprints chaps like Jesse Owen, Eddie Tolan, Ralph Metcalfe, Eu-lace Eu-lace Peacock, and Barney Ewell. We asked Von ElliBr, "why did negro runners specialize in the sprints ?" He replied, "it was just imitation. imita-tion. They followed in the spike tracks of negroes who had done well at the short distances. Even Dixon wasn't sure whether he should try the mile felt that he was venturing- into a questionable distance for men of his race." Can 17-year-old Simms of Harlem Har-lem become a great negro miler Von Elling said, "he certainly can three or four years from now. I will not predict that he will establish any new world records; rec-ords; but at that time he will beat anyone I know of who can run against him. If he can continue in competition, he at least should be the greatest negro miler of all time." of a biting wind you'll hav for this burly coat . . . will be warmly returned! price range.
