LATE HAPPENINGS IN SPORTDOM
WALTER CAMP WILL INVESTIGATE
CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL CONDITIONS
Father of American Game Arrives in San Francisco and Expects to
Visit Leading Schools of State-Will Stop Over in Los An
geles to Learn System in Use Here-Rule Reforming
Authority Has Little Faith in New Code and
Prophesies a Reversion to the Old
Form of Gridiron Contest
RUGBY FOOTBALL PLAYER
IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Serious
Internal Injuries received In a Rugby
football game yesterday may prove fatal
for Max Reinhart, Seed 19, captain of
the Santa Clara high school team.
Removed to a hospital at Oakland
from Berkeley, where his team played
the University of California freshmen,
Reinbart's condition Is said to be crit
ical.
Walter Camp has arrived in California and will spend several
;weeks in looking over football conditions on the coast. He will de
vote a good part of his time in looking over the Rugby-American
struggle on the coast, visiting California and Stanford, and will in
clude the Los Angeles schools in his inspection. The "Father of
Football" expects to learn many things on this western tour, and
his visit will do a great deal to boom the old style American game to
the detriment of the more dangerous, less interesting concoction of
basketball-tumbling devised by our English cousins.
While he does not wish to declare himself too strongly, it is
plainly evident that Camp is not entirely in sympathy with the new
rules which were recently adopted in New York. He was present at
that important session and was also a delegate to the Cleveland con
ference a few days ago, stopping off there on his western trip.
The world renowned football authority, who is also the football
adviser at Yale, believes that serious trouble will arise under the new
rules for the reason that the officials figure to get themselves into
several kinds of hot water when they are called upon to act on the
imaginary line rulings.
The new rules call for the establishment of four imaginary lines
on the gridiron. The umpire, referee and linemen must watch these
very closely, at the same time keeping their eye on the game itself.
Camp has studied this out very closely and he sees trouble ahead,
not so much for the players, but for the officials. He does not even
attempt to conceal his opposition to this particular section of the new
football dictionary.
Like most of the other great football heroes who were reared
with the old American game, Yale's famous director cannot see
Rugby when it is stacked up with the old sport. At the same time,
lie likes Rugby. He understands it, he has made a study of it and he
is in sympathy with it to a certain degree. But—the old game is his
game.
"Much as I admire the game of Rugby, I do not think that the
present generation will ever see it played extensively in the east,"
says Camp. "Of course, some of the athletic clubs may take the
game up, but in my opinion it will never go among the colleges. They
have their good old American game and they like it. The enemies
of the sport have done all in their power to kill it off, but still it's a
greater game than ever it was and it is bound to become greater each
year. ' •..' " '
"There is no question in my mind but that there will be plenty
of complications in the new rules. It will take the veteran college
players some time to get used to them, and in the meantime you may
expect to hear of some queer upsets such as that of the Pennsylvania-
Ursinus game of Saturday. Pennsylvania lost, Bto 5, when anybody
who knows anything about football knows that Pennsylvania figured
to win about 40 to 0.
"The chances are that the Pennsylvania players were puzzled,
perhaps paralyzed, over these new rules. They could not get them
selves together, they could not play their game. They probably had
a fair idea as to what they should do, but when it came time to act,
they were not there. They had the old game down so finely it was so
much a part of their makeup that they could not get away with it.
This is but one of the many peculiar games we shall hear about dur
ing the coming season. .
"While the new rules have been adopted with a view to lessen
ing the danger of injury to the players, I am not so confident that
they will prove a success in this particular respect. While the team
in general probably will not be exposed so much to danger, certain
individual players "must bear the brunt. Of course, this may work
itself out all right in the end, but still severe complications are apt
"There will also be difficulty in deciding about the new tackle
■wherein the man who tackles must have one foot on the ground. In
running the player will have both feet off the ground at times. That
i 9 the difference between running and walking. The only way the of
ficials and myself could see out of the matter was to decide that if the
tackier dragged one toe when he tackles it will be. permissible.
"The new rules eliminate one of the prettiest features of the
old game, -that of the backs running back with the ball. Now the
ends who cannot be interfered with inside of the imaginary twenty
yard' line, can get so far down with a kick that a back will not have
a chance'to %*%%. Plays will be developed that will trap the
opposing side into violations of rules that will result in penalizing
"I do not think that the adoption of the new rules will cause
any loss of interest in college football in the east. The game is
stronger now than it ever was. It will take the public some time
to gef usedTo the new rules, and in the meantime they can sympa
thize with *« Players/ to the west. He came here in 1892 to coach
the Stanford deven, one of the first varsity elevens that Stanford
iv^rmitin the field against California. A couple of years later Camp
ever put in^tne neiai X Franc i sc o, and a year before the great fire
r.'t.r.'j" rX °hW tim. on a tour of football inspection.

NEW CODE SAFETY GIVES
AMERICAN GAME A BOOST
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—President
Nicholas Murray Butler of <'o'umbla uni
versity has called the stiulent body In
consultation tv ask Its advice on the
question of restoring football to the U»t
of sports, and again Instituting inter
class games, which were abolished two
years ago.
Advocates of the game at the uni
versity believe that under the new rules
the ban on football may be safely
raised.
It U expected also that If interclass
fames are restored Columhin will aguin
become a contestant with the other large
colleges for gridiron honors.

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS

No game here.
TODAY'S LIJfECP
Los Angeles-Vermin, at Chutes.
Portland-Oakland, at Portland.
Ban Francisco-Sacramento, at San Fran
clsco.
They're oft for more battling In the
Coast league. On both the Portland
and San Francisco fields yesterday the
games were of a class A brand, and
■with the Villagers and Angels hooking
up on the local lot there ought to be
plenty of excitement for tho fans.
The series which starts this after
noon at Chutes will be one for blood.
and it is a cinch the best team will
win. So far as luck is concerned,
neither Berry's boys nor Hogan's:
hirelings have had any too much of
It all season, and they are sure to
battle out every heat on its merits.
This will make business good, and with
the rooters out In force the week's
scrapping ought to bs productive of
some excitement.
According to the dope peddled along
the line, Hogan's boys are carrying
a lot of money to beat the Angels, but
Berry's adherents say they will never
be in a position to collect It. Bouts
between the local teams always bring
out all the coin left In the old sock,
and with an even money quotation and
plenty of takers nction Is written all
over the Chutes and Doyle park fests.
The Villagers will arrive home this
morning after a rather disastrous away
from the pastures trip. According to
all reports, Hogan'H braves are in
pretty good shape to tackle the Angels
and it will be a fight from the opening
bell this afternoon until next Mon
day's spat is a thing of the past.
Come on, you winner!
PEDAL CRACKS SCHEDULE
ANOTHER WIND CUTTING
Next Sunday afternoon at Fiesta
park there will be another program of
motorcycle and bicycle events. Iver
Lawson, the world's champion, will
ride in both the open professional racen
again.
The main attraction for next Sun
day's races ■will be a return match
motor paced race between Ernie
Pye, the middle distance champion of
Australia, and Ray Duer of Los An
geles, the holder of the ten-mile
world's motor paced record.
At the opening rue meeting nt Fi
esta park Duer defeated Pye, winning
two out of three heats, Pye -winning
the second heat. This being the llrst
race that Kittle, who paced Pye. had
ever paced in, while Duer's pacemak
er, P. E. Whittier, was one of the
most experienced pacemakers in the
world, Pye expects to make a much
better showing. Pye is practicing
every day behind his pacemaker, and
by Sunday they will be thoroughly ac
customed to each other, when Pye is
confident he will be able to defeat
Duer.
There will also be a motorcycle han
dicap on the program and the usual
number of amateur events.
BACON EXPLAINS 1
WHITTIER, Cal., Sept. 26.—Sporting
Editor Herald: I wish to explain as
nearly as possible the way the trouble 1
happened in the ball prame which broke
■up in tho ninth inning at my park
at Los Nietos last Sunday between
Whittier and the Teddy Bears.
In the first of the ninth inning, with
one man out, tho Teddy Bears sent
in a pinch hitter. The score stdod i
to 3 in Whittier's favor at this time.
The man who went in as a pinch hit
ter had ono strike called when he hit
a bull on the left foul line which
Umpire McCance called a foul ball. The
Teddy Rears claimed that tho ball was
fr.lr. McCanco gave the Bears five
minutes t.> play ball, but they refused
to do so, and tha umpire forfeited the
game to Whittier, 9 to 0. There were
no men on bases when the trouble hap
pened.
This Is all that happened and is a
true story of the affair.
(Signed) N. BACOM,
Manager Whittier Baseball Team.

Tommy Cohn in a football cult the
University of Southern California's
quarterback problem seems to be

Cohn played with the law school last

Held under punts, and is an exception

ball.
Cohn registered as a freshman in the

PACKY McFARLAND WINS
BOUT FROM DICK HYLAND
NEW • YORK, Sept. «7.—Faeky Me
-I'iirlniul of Chicago outpointed and out
battled Dick II land of California In a
•lashing tea-round bout tonight before
tho Fairmont Athletic club.
The biggest crowd that has ever wit
nessed a contest before thin club was
present. It was Hcfarland's flr»t ap
pearance here since he outpointed Leach
Cross two year* ago, and he quickly won
popular favor. No decision was ren
dered. '<„_.:;':,>:■, -v^:\vj
Mcl'arlnhd started' mixing from the
start, using a short, snappy drive to
the face that confused llylnml. The
latter, however, unmindful of punUh
incnt, rushed continually, landing swings
to the body, but the distance was too
short < for this style of fighting to be
effective.
Mr In Hand gave a fine exhibition of
boxing, using his forearm effectively In
blocking. Gradually he led his oppon
ent Into making wild lunges, while bis
awn blows were well timed and directed.
In clinches McFarland showed to ad
vantage, working a right uppercut to
the face that drew blood.
Both finished strong, the final round
being fast and even. McFarland's su
perior work throughout, however, was
apparent to tin* experts.

FROM COMMUTERS
Hair-Raising Contest with Mar
gin Results Opens League-
Leaders' Series
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 27.—The |
principal Cfuidlrlaton for championship
honors opened tho series here today.
The contest, whlcn was a pretty one,
went to Portland, 5 to 4. The game
was a hair-raising contest from a
Portland standpoint from almost the
start.
In the fourth, with tho score 1 to 0
against them, Oakland pounded out
three runs and followed this perform
ance up with one in the fifth. In the
pevonth both pitchers showed signs of
wildness and both wero relieved. Steen
went In for Portland and Lively for
Oakland. Steen held the visitors down
without a hit, but 'he locals landed on
Lively in tho last Inning with the HOrt
4 to 3 against them and batted out a
victory. Oakland's protest is at the
playing by Portland of Hetllng a Spo

MOULTON 18 CAREFUL
Trainer "Dad" Moulton Is going to
take no chances this year with the
candidates for varsity honors at Stan
ford. It will be remembered that last
year's cardinal team had several crip
ples. This was due to working the
men likely to make the team right up
to the last and in some of the hardest
fjiinies. This year, however, Moulton
will order any player showing the
least signs of being crippled onto the
bleachers, and he will be held up until
he is fully recovered.

STRENUOUS TIMES FOR
CALIFORNIA FRESHIES
BERKELEY, Sept. 27.—Beginning
today the California freshman team
will put In the hardest week of Us
brief Rugby career. Coach Schaeffer
is evidently under the impression that
the babies need a lot of work, for the
squad will be called upon to play
three games in six days. According to
the coach, there is likely to be a big
ahakeup among the infants, as he was
very much disappointed in their show
ing against the weak San Jose team
Suturday.
In addition to the regular game at
the end of the week, the freshmen will
play St. Mary's college on Wednesday
afternoon.
If in this contest the freshmen do
not show a marked improvement,
some high school team from about the
bay will be brought to the campus on
Thursday or Friday, for things have
reached a condition at Berkeley where
drastic methods must be used. Much
time is to be devoted this week to
teaching- the first year forwards some
of the finer points about handling thr
ball with their feet.
GOTCH BEST WRESTLER
SINCE DAYS OF CARKEEK
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Frank Gotch,
who announced his permanent retire
ment from the mat recently, has proved
himself the greatest wrestling cham
pion since the days of Jack Carkeek.
Gotch has had 331 matches since he
started the game in 1898, not counting
many minor affairs, and of this num
ber he lost seven, five of them being
handicap matches, in which he failed
to throw his man as many times as
barbained for.
Ootch practically became champion in
1906, when he defeated Tom Jenkins,
who was then considered the best In
the country. He met all the stars in
the country and defeated them all. His
greatest match was with George Hack
enschmidt, the Russian l^lon, whom ha
won from in Chicago in 1908.
