Football

There are only two new rules to tax the understanding of football spectators this year:

P: When a ball goes out of bounds, or when it is downed within 10 yd. of a sideline, it shall be brought 10 yd. in from the sideline for the next play. Object: to eliminate the waste of out-of-bounds plays formerly made to get the ball brought into free playing position.

P: The offense of clipping (falling upon the calves of a player not carrying the ball) now includes running or diving into the back of such a player. Penalty: 15 yd.

Some football games of last week:

Robert E. Lee Jr. of Mercer, whose illustrious great-grandfather was superintendent at West Point, wriggled 45 yd. through a green, lightweight Army team to make possible a Mercer touchdown.

In its first game under new Coach Gar Davidson. Army scored only three times, won 19-to-6.

A field goal against University of California-at-Los Angeles won 3-to-0 for Stanford, whose Coach "Tiny'' Thornhill succeeds Glenn ("Pop") Warner. Warner went to Temple to begin his 39th year of coaching.

In its first game under "Pop" Warner, an aggressive Temple squad swamped South Carolina, 26-to-6.

Having acquired Coach "Sleepy Jim'' Crowley and his Notre Dame style from Michigan State, three teams of Fordham regulars and reserves galloped through Albright College--52-to-0.

Navy avenged a 1932 humiliation by outrushing William & Mary, 12-to-0.

On the Chicago Fair's Iowa Day, with Governor Clyde Herring watching, Iowa's Quarterback Joe Laws raced 32 yd. to Northwestern's goal in the last period for Iowa's first Big Ten victory since 1929.

Outplayed until the last three minutes, Pitt scored a quick field goal and touchdown over Washington & Jefferson to win 9-to-0.
