YELLOW JACKETS I HOME FROM LAKE Coach Marshall And Candidates For I). H. S. Grid Team Return Friday Coach Marshall and fifteen candidates lor the Decatur high school football team arrived home from their camo at Luke Cage, near Angola, last night, after spending a week at the lake. The boys derived much benefit Hom the camp besides having an enjoyable time, they report. While at the lake, the reach sent tiie. boys through three hours of footbail practice daily, in addition to giving them “skull” practice and various forms of exercise. The first practice will be held on Ahr’s field next Monday afternoon. Several more candidates who were unable to make the trip to the lake are expectd to turn out for practice next week. The hoys who went to the lake were: John Dierkcs, half or guard; Joe Hebout, captain, end or quarter; Robert Acker, full or half back; Don Loßrun, center; Doyal Johnson, end; Hubert Myers, end or tackle; Robert Macklin, half ; Robert Zwick quarter; Edward Anderson, half or guard; Miles Baker, end; Lawrence Potts, guard; Billy Bell, quarter; Herman Lankenau. tackle; Thurman Fuhrman end; and Stanley Callow, tackle. Among the new candidates expected to turn out next week are Bogner, Reynolds, Strickler, Heuer and Moser. Coach Marshall issued the following statement in regard to the game of football today: “The boy who takes football learns to work and co-operate with his fellows. If a team will not pull together they can make no gains. If one tnan on the team misses his opponent, that opponent will block the play. “Football was devised especially for schoolboys and has developed with the idea of giving the boy the best possiblt physical training. It is the game of games, recommended by nearly all educators, and so controlled by rules as to eliminate its essential training qualities. Only now and then is a player seriously hurt, usually one who would not have been allowed to play if a doctor’s examination had been required. "Football offers the best possible training in self control under pressure- A boy who is thrown for a loss or gets a thump from another player is tempted to lose his temper, to hit back, or to use profane language, but he must not or his team will lose half the distance of their goal. The boy who goes out for football learns to struggle on and on. no matter what the obstacles in his path. He learns to overcome physical fear and cowardice. The boy who has played football knows that the other boys "•ill not call him a sissy or u weakling. This gives him confidence in himself. He learns to hold up his head and go after the prizes of life with the best of men. “The football player learns how to practice the rules of health. He must leave out soft foods, pastry, sweets, and drugs. He learn sto get plenty of sleep regular hours. He learns how to protect himself from colds and contagious diseases. Such habits will give him a robust body, ju,t at the critical period, and make him stronger in the years to come. “All boys who would like to take football this year are asked to report at the high school at 1:30 Monday to get a suit. Those who already have suits report on the field for practice ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BASEBALL STANDING «t ♦ ♦ + <■ + + + + + ♦ + + ♦♦< NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

Coach Rockne Explains New Football Rules By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Sports Editor* Now York, Sept. 5. (United Press* Several important changes that wore made last year in the foothall rules promise to make the great collegiate game more interesting than ever In the approaching season. The changes cun be outlined best ami explained hv the following article written by Knuto Rockne, couch of the Notre Dame fottball team, for the “American Boy," and reprinted by Its courtesy: "Football is going Io be a lot more fun for the fellows in the stands this year, and for players as well, because the ball is to be kicked from the 40-yard line Instead of from midfield. "Last year two radical changes in the kick-off were made. The tee which all good kickers used was declared illegal, and the ball was kicked from the 50-yard line. It was thought that eliminating the tee, and thus cutting down both height and distance of the ball's flight, would compensate for the 10-yard difference* “But it didn’t. Repeatedly high school and college kickers, accustoming themselves to a teeless kick-off. sent the ball over the goal line for a touchback. That meant that it was brought out to the 20-yard ine and put in play. And one of the greatest thrills in football, the return of the kick-off, was almost entirely eliminated from the game. “In only a few cases —‘Red’ Grange s 95-yard run at the start of the IllinoisMichigan game was one of them — were the spectators treated to the colorfu thrilling sight of a man catching the ball, and ten others forming themselves into an interference in front of him to dash down the field. So the Football Rules Committee, conferring on 1925 rules, decided that henceforth kick-offs would be made from the 40-yard line without the tee. “A major result of this rule change will be that teams will develop a strong kick-off return. Another important rule change is that affecting the penalty when the defensive team is offside. The penalty is five yards as before, but the down remains the sapie. Under the old rules, which penalised the ofenders five yards and made it first down, unfair hardships w-ere sometimes worked. “To clarify a technical point, the line of scrimmage was re-defined as a vertical plane between the two teams, rather than an imaginary line on the ground. This means that the heads of the linemen, a® well as their hands from all parts of their bodies, must be back of the line of scrimmage. “The penalty in clipping has been standardized with the same purpose to avoid misunderstanding. When a man ‘clips’ an opponent—that is, throws his body across the legs of the other fellow from behind and brings him down-his team is penalized 25 yards from the spot where the clipping took place. Last year the captain of the side against which the clipping was committed had a choice of two penalties—ls yards from the point of clipping, or 15 yards from the place where the play started. The new penalty is not necessarily more severe, but it is now standard. "The new rule on blocked kicks is the fairest yet devised. Its first provision is that a punted ball blocked behind the line of scrimmage belongs to whichever side recovers, but counts a down against the kickers if that side recovers. Formerly a blocked kick recovered by the kickers meant first down. On a partly blocked kick whihe crosses the line of scrimmage, the ball is played exactly as if it had nevei been touched. This rule is intended as a clarification. “Other new rules are of minor importance. One of them provides that I trainers and doctors may go on to the ’ field as soon as a man is hurt, reporting to referee or umpire before speaking to the man. The old rule required doctors and trainers to get permission t from an official before stepping on the field, and in some cases, like that last , fall when an Army player had to go i through two plays with a badly smashed foot before the doctor could catch the umpire’s eye, worked out badly. o Portland “Our Boys” To Be In Field Again Portland.
