The annual football banquet will be fceld at Earlham Saturday night for the men of the 1920 grid squad. Twenty-five men and their guests will attend the big dinner in the dining hall of Earlham hall, at which time the captain for 1921 will be announced. Sixteen men who won their letters in the fall sport this year will be presented with a large dark maroon sweater with a 6-inch "E" on the front Orville Hall, captain of the 1920 team, will receive a handsome gold football in recignition of his work. Balloting for captain for next year was held Friday evening. There are two men on the Quaker squad, either of whom would make a good leader for next year. The choice of the letter men will probably be between Booki out and Hinshaw. Both of these men ( are experienced on the gridiron having won their letters playing for Earlham, rnd either should be able to lead the 1921 team through a successful season. The result of the lettermen's vote will be announced at the banquet Saturday night. Letter Men. The men receiving the coveted "E' were: Hall, captain, Nicholson, Bookcut, Johnson, Pennington, Chambers, Beasley, Pearson. Russell, Carter, Beck, Snyder, Ivey, Girton, Wenban end Emslie. Two men who graduated from Richmond high school last year were among those receiving the emblem; these were Russell and Emslie. Four of the sixteen were freshmen. Six will be lost by graduation. Gordon and Hinshaw, both of whom have made their letters previous to this year, were injured in the early part of the year and failed to compete in enough games to win the letter this season. These were two of the most valuable men on the squad and their loss was keenly felt by the Quakers. Coach Mowe put his basketball t-quad through their regular workout on the Coliseum floor Friday night 1 Most of the time was spent in scrimmaging. The Quaker mentor does not intend to put his men through as much scrimmage this year as in previous seasons, but during the first part of the year it is necessary to get a reserve supply of endurance worked up to enable the squad to go through a stiff game without a let up. Fart Scrimmage. A full 40-minute game was played and the men on the squad handled the ball in good style. Regulars from past seasons are going to have to put up a scrap to retain their places. Besides the regulars. Hall, Lawler, Carey and Johnson, a high class brand of ball is being put up by Beck, Hadley, Thomas and several others. s The Quakers; will work out on the Coliseum floor again Monday evening. This will probably end their work previous to the Antioch game next Friday night. The game is going to be a battle, according to "advance dope. Antioch is working hard to take the Quaker's measure in order to break into fast company, and they will spare nothing to carry the bacon home from Richmond. The people who will attend Saturday's banquet besides the men named are, Mendenhall, S. Prevo, Bowles, and Robert Jones from the varsity squad, who failed to make letters; President D. M. Edwards, Professor E. P. Trueblood, Coach Ray B. Mowe and Assistant Coach Nash Higgins.

SPECTACULAR RALLY WINS FOR FAIRVIEW Staging a spectacular rally in the f last five minutes of play, the Fairview high school defeated the liberty high school 21-18, at Liberty, Friday night. The last few minutes of the game, in which the Fairview team overcame a 13 to 18 lead held by Liberty, brought the Liberty followers to their feet to root with great enthusiasm. Peters, lanky center for Fairview, was the star of the game chalking up i: of his team's total points. Thompson and Burt were the shining lights for Liberty. The score at the end of the first half was 13-11 in favor of Liberty and when the five point lead was gained five minutes before time was called, it looked like a sure win for Liberty. The Fairview team is coached by Russell Titswoith. former Earlham basketball and football player. The lineup and summary: Liberty (IS) Fairview (211 Burt F Link Rodefer F Parker DuBois.

Loses Five Varsity Men by Graduation Soon BLOOMINGTON. lnd., Dec. 4 Indiana University will lose five varsity football men who helped the Crimson attain its high rank in the Western Conference during the 1H20 season. Four other members of the squad, who won their letters, will also graduate. Notwithstanding the loss of these nine men, there is considerable optimism regarding the prospects for 1921. Coach E. O. Stiehm, who will return as football mentor, has been looking forward to next year and has attempted to develop some players to replace those who will graduate. Coach Stiehm will have the fill the places of the following seniors on his regular team: Ripley, left tackle; Minton, left halfback: Fierce, center: Mumhv, left guard; and Mathys. quarterback. He will also have to find men to take the places of these substitutes: Lorhei. center; Faust, quarterback; Hoggs, guard; and VonTre-ss, tackle. In the back field Stiehm has these players left for next season: Fullback Kyle, whose line smashing plays have been a feature of every Indiana Fame: McGaw. right guard of this Meason. who will be back to fill his place in the line, and Hanny will i again be aailab!e for right onrl. With this trio as a nucleus, Stiehm believes he can put together a winning conibi-

Swamp Football Rule Makers With Petitions For Changes

By Palladium Sporting Editor. Law -makers of the football world will not be swamped with petitions for changes in the 1920 code when they get together this winter to consider the playing rules for 1921. They will have about two things to think over carefully that will have tremendous bearing on the future type of football. Harvard university is especially anxious that the forward passing rule be curbed to a exeat extent, either be ing entirely abolished or limited to ai certain number of plays per game Coaches all over the country are complaining about, the 1920 rule which allows the bringing of a ball out directly in front of a goal post for the kick after touchdown. Many are clamoring for the abolishment of the kick or a radical change from this year's rules. The action of some of the eastern schools and especially Harvard is no doubt a direct outcome of the Yale and Harvard game, in which , both teams employed the passing game to a greater extent than either had ever ettempted. Their efforts to employ the aerial game were reported as rather crude and as a result critics ttated that the game was not up to the standard of previous years. See Possibilities. Eastern schools saw the possibilities of the passing game when Centre college made such a spectacular scoring combination against Harvard by the use of the air game. The Centre college team is adapted to this style and have built their whole offense around this kind of play. As a result they play an open game and one that Is far more interesting to spectators than the old closed style of football. Haughton has proposed several changes in the passing rules. He would like tb limit the number of passes a team might use in a game, and also change the rule so that a pass, blocked behind the line of scrimmage, would become a free ball and be subject to recovery by the defensive side. Suggest Limit Placing a limit on the distance a ball may be passed has a!?o been suggested. This does not seem practical to most sport followers, who believe that it would slow up a game materially while officials measured off disputed distances. One of the prettiest plays now known to football would be eliminated if this should be done. The fast end racing 40 yards to receive a well placed pass would be abolished, and nothing should be done to render this ability useless The whole secret of the forward passing game is the strategy involved. If a team is good on passing, as well as other parts of the game, they have twice as strong an offense to launch against an opponent. They keep teams and spectators in a feeling of suspense, wondering what the next play will be a kick, run or a pass. Take "Teeth Out" They would take the "teeth" out of the pass if the number of passes attempted in an effort to make 10 yards should be cut down to two. The threat which is tucked away in passing is its most effective quality. The blocked pass idea is one of merit and will no doubt be taken under serious consideration by the rules committee. It would not be a great surprise if it were put in the rules for 1921. This would allow a defensive team to recover a blocked pass back of the line of scrimmage. Such a rule would lead much more efficient passing and do away with the indiscriminate throwing which is indulged in by many elevens. It TWO SPORT LEAGUES FOR INDIANA GUARD INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 4. Two athletic leagues for Indiana's new national guard, with an inter-league series in baseball, basketball and football, are a part of the guard organization program of Adjt. General Harry B. Smith. One league will include the teams, representing eacli of the guard companies in the southern half of the state, and the other will be composed of those representing the northern part. The program, designed primarily to attract enlistments in the guard, will bring a new factor into the state sporting circles, and the championship games between the winners in the leagues will be played in this city. Besides the teams in the three big rports. it is the plan of General Smith to hold an annual track and field meet in connection with the annual summer encampment. Boxing and wrestling also will be encouraged by the holding of district and state meets. The bringing to the fore of the athletic feature," says General Smith, "it is believed, will overcome whatever distastes for routine military work that may exist."

would add considerable danger to the passing side, in that many of its safety men w'duld be drawn down the field expecting a pass, and in case the ball is blocked only a limited number would be available to tackle the one making the recovery. Five Men Eligible Five men are nov. eligible for the pass,' but if a change such as proposed should be made one man would have to be held in reserve as a protector. Four men might be as effective in grabbing a pass as five, but it is open to doubt. Coaches, fans and players all admit that the "kick" has been taken out of the kick after touchdown with the bringing of the ball out to the 15-yard line directly in front of the goals when the 1920 rules were drawn. The cry from all quarters is not for a return to the old style of punting out from the goal line, before the kickf This was a flagrant waste of time. The exact thing to do is what is bothering most everyone interested. Only a few games were decided by this narrow margin this year. Notable among these was the Michigan-Illinois game which went 6 to 7 for Illinois. Chicago failed against Ohio State, letting the latter win 6 to 7. However, next year every coach in the country will have a man in shape to plug away at the goal posts all day without missing a try, and the number will be greatly reduced. Three Suggestions. Three suggestions, as they have been gathered from most parts of the country, seem to hold the lead over any others. From several sportsmen in the middle west come the suggestion that the ball be brought out to the 40 yard line and a drop kick attempted directly in front of the posts. This is meant to develop more good drop kickers, but several weaknesses in this plan can be seen. Another is to bring the ball out directly in front of where it crossed the goal line, and a place kick attempted. The third, and most radical is that the kick be abolished altogether. The action of the rules committee on these intergral parts of football will be watched with great interest all over the country".
