Now that prediction came only from a study of causes. A decade before this the writer was viewed as visionary and needlessly alarming when he urged at a club talk the disarmament principle for college athletics and pointed out where the pathway of increased expenditure was likely to lead. It had some effect, but only a temporary one. And yet it was evident that there were plent3' of men who felt that the colleges were on dangerous ground. But no on was willing to be the first to act. We were all like the nations. Now, the deduction is this: In several of the major sport in the large colleges; obligations contracted or otherwise! are binding for some three to five years.

By way of verifying this conclusion we have endeavored to ascertain whether any of the prominent 'old men' of the twentieth century have been devotees of golf.

Now if such a player signals for a fair catch and then catches the ball, the very fact that his foot is out of bounds at the moment of. his making the catch puts the ball automatically out of bounds. he is lnterefered with If, after however, the signal for the fair making catch and (note this carefully) before th ball touches him, then It is ruled as Interference. In many of the accounts of the alteration in rules this point of interference before the ball touches him occurring has been entirely lost sight of. If the man should catch the ball after the and had his foot mr.king out of boundssignal when he actuallv caught the ball, the ball is automatically out of bounds and the only possible contention if tackled then 'be that he was Illegally tackledmight Aviiile out of bounds, but as the rule in this case reads "intentional tackling out of bounds", it would be difficult for the official to penalize him. Another rule that has been wrongly is Rule 16, Section 4. Statement quoted lias been made that the guards or center may run with the ball if received from a second man,- provided that they are eligible to take the pass by being time on the end of the line. A at the may run with the ball guard or center at any time if he receives it from a second man, and he does not necessarily have to be on the end of the line. He can run from his position and take the ball from the quarter. The point that was mnde was that a or center, dropped back a vard guard from the line with a backfield man his place In the line, is not eligitaking ble to receive a forward pass, in spite of the fact that he is a yard back of the line, because if this were permitted It would result in the guard or tackle eventually back and then being dropped the pass not taking place and this man an interferer, which is conacting tons both the letter and the spirit trary of the rule. Such guard, center or tackle is not eligible to receive a forward pass unless he is the end man on the line when the scrimmage took place. This provision, however, has nothing whatever to do with his running from his position and taking the ball from a second man, or there Is no reason whatever why he should be the end man on the line In order to make this play.
