THE rules of the game—any game—and the way those .ules are enforced, are immensely important. That’s something to give thought to today, when the football season swings into its major orbit, and hundreds of thousands of football fans jam the collegiate stadii throughout the country to witness and take part in a great and colorful expression of the American scene. In football, and this year particularly. rules of the game and their enforcement take on an importance that goes beyond the familiar “squareness” which the American sportsman and the American spectator demands and expects. In football. the rules have the vital importance of protecting the players -yes. protecting their lives Football authorities were called upon to do more than deplore 'he ’nrg» numbe" nt r -'

• were called on to amend the rules , to provide more protection for the players, and we have the word of leading officials that the new rules actually do that. i The new rules are simple and i clear. If they are enforced adequately by referees and officials who keep on their toes, it can be expected that injuries will be reduced i greatly . only accident, that freak ! that may strike a man as surely in his armchair as on the gridiron, cannot be eliminated. Briefly, then, the new rules pro- ! vide that the ball is dead when any • portion of the carrier exe'-pt his i hands and feet, touches the ground ■ —this will prevent crawling: the ■ flying tackle and the flying block are prohibited; defense players > may use the palms of their hands lonly above the shoulders to push off opponents; striking with hands on he’d neck nr fare is nrohibited

players of the team receiving the kickoff remain within five yards of their restraining line until the kick is made. Waiter Okeson. president of the Eastern Football Officials Association. had a lot to do with the formation of the new rules, and it is his opinion that strict enforcement of the rules will go far in preventing the injury as players, Ed Thorp, nationally famous official, goes along with Okeson in that opinion, and likes the new rules because they make it easier for officials to watch and decide infractions. The rules, then, are all right; the players are all right and the officials are al) right—what is going to count is the way the officials apply the all right rules to the all right players. And that’s something for the cheering thousands in he stands to remember that’ll make it all—right!

JIMMcLARNIN BEATS LEONARD Veteran’s Comeback is Halted By Technical Knockout Friday Night New York. Oct. 8 — (U.K)— Young ] ] Jimmy McLarnin’s battering fists! i halted old Benny Leonard's comeback march with a technical knock-1 I out in the sixth round of their | schedu ed Hl round bout. , The 21.000 fans breathed with r.’-] 'lief when Referee Arthur Donovan ] ’threw his long arms about the stag-1 Igering, semi-bald man In the black, tights to save him from further punishment. They had believed tor some tims that Benny couldn't turn back the clock. In the second lound a solid left Jo'.t to the jaw sent the former] lightweight champion to the floor for the count of nine. That blow blasted Leonards come-back dream. The end came after 2:55 of thesixth round when Leonard, once; 'the greatest of them all, tottered ■about heplessly in the center of, |the ring, merely a bruised target] for Jimmy's thudding lefts and i rights. More than two minutes of | the round had elapsed when the 24-' | year-old Vancouver battler stagger-1 'ed his 36-year-old opponent with an overhand right to the jaw. McLarn- 1 jin fol'owed this with a barrage to head and body that almost doubled : Leonard up. Unwilling to keep pounding away at this helpless old fe'low. whom] ’he had regarded as an idol years lago. Jimmy turned to the referee 1 I and motioned for him to s op the I affair. Donovan stepped between] l them shortly afterward. Despite its pathetic ending, the' I bout 1 st night at Madison Square I I furnished the capacity crowd with' I a brief thrill in the opening round I when roar after roar of frenzied 1 I cheering shook the garden to its] |steel rafters. A momentary flash ] back of Leonard “the champion" | I threatened the miracle of a come;back. As McLarning started a left ] hook, swung inside and caught him ] lon the jaw with a short right that 1 .nearly floored his younger oppon-1 lent. Dazed. Jimmy hung on for a I ! moment. His head cleared. Soon he was blazing away at Ijeonard. IHe nearly drove the o'd m ister | through the ropes with a left hook' to the jaw Leonard was slightly l IgrOigy at the bell. After taking the nine-count in the second round, only Benny's ' fighting heart and instinct of self d i ense kept iim on his feet. The knockdown sapped the kick from his punches. Leonard weighed 150’4 pounds; McLarnin, 147V4. ' 0 Richmond Fund Is Over-Subscribed Ricfimond. Ind., Oct.
