Coming south with the determination to get rid of everything they bad in the way of football energy, Rose Poly had her defense punctured In about eighteen different spots yesterday on Dudley, fluid, giving the Vanderbllt backs a chance to wend their wriggling ways through for 64 points.

While the Commodores, were gathering unto themselves this of Rose's score rose" not, Venmin-ing at sou level all the white. After a stendy rain on Friday night, Dudley field was In line shape for play yesterday. In spots "the ground was. slippery, but for the most part. It was fast, with the usual raw edges taken off the surface.

The weather was Ideal. Swarms of society and football bust smiled complncntly, from ethelr ro-spective viewpoints on the field of battle which promised good sport. But that fickle old field again proved untrustworthy, for the game was not all 'that-could be oxptcted in tho way of a-fight. To be sure, the Rosemen fought gamely enough, encouraging each other every minute. But it wasn't in them, to withstand the.

terrific onslaughts of the fast Commodore backs. ROSE'S TRICK PLAY. VanderbiU was on the field fifteon minutes before the hour set for beginning of the game, but Rose' turned into tho entrance some twenty minutes later. Vanderbllt won the toss. This was to bo expected, 'for it was Dan McGugin's own half dollar which was spun for the Rose captain to cull.

Feck Turner, who has been playing left end for the Commodores bo far this season, did excellent work yesterday and fs making a good all-round -man for that position. Vanderbllt chose to defend the north goal and the fight was on, Robo receiving the kick-off. For fully ft minute and a half after the opening boot, Rose held her own In grand stylo, but a terrible accident occurred which put them straightway on the blink. Before the game Rose admitted to several followers of the gold and black that ahe (presum ably Rose) could make a touchdown on Vanderbllt whenever alio desired. This confidential person stated, however, that the trick which would blemish the Commodore slate was good for but one touchdown, whereon the afore-nald Vanderbllt supporters rejoiced with great glee.

flrst scrimmage a couple of Rose backs dropped back and after making several' backward shot the ball toward the sidelines and slightly forward. Tlu Vanderbllt men wondered why, for no one was there except a stripling In citizen's clothing; But this youth, who had previously 'been walking along with a satchel In his hand, dropped his burden and took for-, ward pass. It was a great play and should hava been a except that the man was caught before he had comewlthIn seventy yards of tho goal line. This trick was really worthy of tho mlBUty Glen Warner Of Carlisle. In making this play; Rose figured correctly that the man In citizen's cl6thes would not be noticed, but the Terra Hauteurs did NOT figure that tha Vanderbllt men might possibly follow the ball and prevent a tragedy bo early lr.

Vuuk Chester held down fullback for thn full 86 minutes' of play. Ho plunged well, but several bad fumbles for which he was not rcsponslblo made his work look to be less effective than It really was. On the defense Chester is a power.

Tho locals swept the visitors off their feet In tho' first quarter, scoring two touchdowns. In tho second period Mary-vlllo came back strong ana outplayed Tennessee, keeping the hall In the Jitter's torritory most of the time, ana making good gains on forward Passes.

One touchdown was scored In the third period, while three more were added In tha fourth. The playing of Capt. Fonde of the Tennessee team, featured. In the fourth horlod he caught ono of Quarterback Jones' punts and ran 76 yards for a touchdown. For tho visitors Jackson nn.t-Tnfi TTnrt Rnlid.

who received most i ot the forward passes, showed up beBt. in number the referee, umpire and head linesman. Their duties enn stated generally as- follows: The ref-erco has general oversight and control over the game: he should see that the ball Is properly put in play and has Jurisdiction over Its position and progress: the umpire is judge of tho conduct and position of the payers: the hgad linesman as assistant to the referee marks the distances gained or lost during the play; as assistant to the umpire, ho watches off-side play, tripping, etc. The head Hnesmnn also Is the timekeeper. Trie referee, having control over the ball, measures off the penalties inflicted by the umpire.

The rules, ln order to equalize the offense and defense, place many restrictions on the players on offense. A team with the bnll can quickly center Its attack upon one or two men, thereby bringing four or five men against them. In to equalize -this, tha men on are prohibited from using their hands and arms, but the defensive-players are not so prohibited. A defensive playet can use his hands and arms In getting at tho man carrying the ball, by pushing opponents out of tho way, but players on offense aro penalized fifteen yards for so doing. Players on offense are not permitted to start before tho ball is put in play, but no ouch restriction Is put on' the defense.

Thus it Is that a team on defense has little opportunity to commit a foul, while. the team on offense Is juBt the reverse, and the result Is -that nearly all fouls aro committed by the team on-offense. FAIR TO BOTH; The framers of the rules have provided a code of rules -which are supposed bo fair to each team, therefore no official should permit a team to violate tho rules without meting: out the provided for such violation. If on advantage Is obtained by a team whoso man has violated a rule in obtaining that advantage, tho officials have signally failed In thair duty. If the foul Is not detected and penalized.

There arc many minor offenses which do not affect the play, but If a. player illegally uses his hands In making a hole in the line, of ln getting a tackier off his balance so that the tackle Is missed or ln holding a tackier while the man' carrying the ball goes past, or in tripping a. tackier' so that tnc tackle cannot he mado, such Is not minor violation but to my mind, the most serious offenfto in football has been committed. When I ployed I would much rather an opponent would hit mo than hold mo. for it he hit me, in seeking opportunity to strike; he deprives (tlmsolf of tho opportunity of making a good play, but If: ho holds and 'Illegally uses his hands upon me, he is unlawfully koep-Ing me out of the play and, gains are made 'over my.

position for which I am held responsible. It is done for the Surpose of gaining an advantage which Is team should not have. Officials cannot see one violation In five' or nosslbly ten. hence I make the' broad Statement that a team whose men violate this rule, commit, to my mlnfl, the worse offense in football. Freely has it beon said that this or that team was pennllzed' so many yards in the game by the officials.

Fow; If any, penalties are Inflicted which are not deserved, and I have never heard It asked how many yards, would have been given ln penalties had the officials seen all the. fouls committed. GAMES COMPARED. I have often thought of tho ln judgment passed upon a player In baseball and (ootball who violates the rules, from ihat passed upon, a player In golf, tennis or cards who violates tho rules. In tho latter case, the violator Is ostracised, while not so In the' former.

Why the difference 7 Games between gentlemen should bo played according to the rules and the players ehould be honor -bound not to deliberately violate them. The officials cannot see all violations, therefore, players and spectators should lend a helping hand. Most disturbances In our great game may reach its highest development of usefulness for tho youth of our land, they should be impressed with the Idea that they should not flellberatelyjjTake an unfair advantage or purposely violate a rule of the game and when they do violate the rules of the game they not only should suffer the punishment to be meted out under the rules, but should suffer the Just censure of the spectators, -s JACK JOHNSON WILL FICfHT IN AUSTRALIA (By Associated Preaa.) QHICAGO, Oct. 12 Jack Johnson tonight announced that he had accepted the offer of SSO.OOO to flght Sam Langford and- Sam McVoy ln Australia, made by Hugh D. Mcintosh.

He will leave Chicago on Oct 25 for Australia and will train there. He -will fight Langford on December 26. Tho foHowlng concisely stated resume of the football rules of 1912 wa 'prepared by Mr. Bradley Walker' at tho request of the sporting editor of this paper. Mr.

Walker made a great record us football player the Universities of Nashville and Virginia. He Is now recognized ns the best football official ln the south. Hit resume follows: From the viewpoint of the spectators it must seem that the rule-makers are constantly changing the rules of football, so that It Is Impossible for one not a student 'of 'ho game to keep up with Uie game and what happens on tho playing Held. Football Is Indeed an attractive, fascinating game to draw so many thousands to see the gamea'played each Saturday over the country, when not more than one In; every ten spectators understand what' is actually among the players and officials. So just a few lines In an effort to assist.

This year the flrst change noticed Is ln the changed field upon which the game (b played. Last) year It was 110 yards between the goal lines. This year the distance has been to 100 yards and 'he ball Is kicked oft J(not from tho "of 'the field as heretofore) but the forty-yard. line. Thero has been added an end zone of ten yards behind each goal line, within a forward pasa' can be made.

Last year a forward-pass made' over the goal lines was dead and' counted a touchback. for the defenders; of the goal. Right here it' Is well to dufine and show the difference betwocn a touchhni' pwi a --IWUi Bnfety, termg few understand. A touchback counts nothlnir, safety counts two points. A touchback Is made when tho bnll is declared dcai behind the goal lino In the possession of the defenders of tho goal, tho which sent It to or across tho goal lino irom the opponents.

If tho impetus comes from the defenders ot the goal, it Is a safety. SOME CHANGES Some of tho most important changes are adding another down, which gives a team four downs to gain ton yards, Instead ot tlireo as. last year. As a team only is required to gain and one-half yards on each attempt, it Is thought by many that the old stylo game will be played by many teams and the line plunging game again re-sorted to, but a team which can make forward passes and end runs will always have a distinct ndvantoge. Tha defense must be ocattorod on such a team.

Forward jusses can bo mado any distance this year, but tho pass is limited In that It can only be made by a man on offenso from a point at least flvo yards behind his line of scrlm-muge to a man who Is playing either on the ends of the line or at loast one yard behind the line of scrimmage. Also 111 case It is fumbled and touches the ground, the pass Is incomplete, the ball fs played again from tho spot preceding down and the play countB a down: In case It Is'rooovered before It touches tho ground, the player recovering It muBt bo tho man-who first touchod. It. It must be borne In mind that any playor on dofenae can always r.vr tho bull before It touches the so-called on-Blde kick has been abolished. Last year wuoh kicked ball touched tho ground any-hodv eould it.

now the ball must first bo touched by a defensive player before -players. off -side can recover It. The scoring has been changed and the flMd tudee has been abolished and other minor changes made, but these are not material and do not materially affect the'play: The officials ot the game are three teams.
