Foot-Notes "It gets more AnpHcated every year," said CaljHarms, veteran sports official ot'Sumner in discussing rules for high football. There are a number of mile changes each year, as state and federal athletic associations attempt to improve the game for spectators and players, but with each change the officials must tuck more knowledge away, for possible future remembrance at a moment's notice at a crucial point in an excitement-filled football game. Anyone who would like to know how complicated game actually is, should take a look at the new publication just recently released. "1966 Official High School Football and the "National Alliance Edition of Football Rules 1966" (both copyrighted, published and distributed by the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations). The illustrated publication is a 128-page "cartoon book" that is a much more interesting approach to the rules of the game and thus is more readily understandable.

The 96-page federal book, is so jammed with the technicalities of the game, it confuse a Rhoades scholar. Presuming, however, that all of us know aH of the rules that were formulated when the game of football was founded and those added since, we would like to point out a few of the differences this year, one of which should lighten the burden of officials. As previously stated in an earlier column, using standard numbers, is only a suggestion for this season and is not mandatory. Hvvever, it is expected most teams will abide by it "Teams are urged to comply with the recommended numbering of players," rule book states. Under this system, backs would be numbered from 10-49, the ends from 80-89, tackles from 70-79, guards, 60-69, and centers, 50-59.

Main purpose would be 4o aid officials in determining eligibility of pass receivers. However, it should also aid quarterbacks in locating eligible receivers. Another difference in rules this year is actually an official change. This involves the stopping of the clock after each first down. Under ithis rule, the official signals "the first down, and the clock stops while the chain is being set.

resumed when be signals ball In play. Les Teeling wins men's Meadowbrook meet News from Hawkeye at Another change ithat is recommended, but not mandatory deals with marking the end zone corners with flags. Flags have generally been used to mark each end of the goal line at each end of the field, but it is now suggested that flags also be used to mark the far corners of the end gones. It is interesting to note that the association (has designated the use of an artificial hand, arm, or leg, as Illegal equipment. Purpose of this is to protect both the player that may use this equipment and the opposing players.

The Association feels that this artificial equipment will not allow the player who uses it to properly protect himself and also that the material from which such equipment ig normally made, could cause injury to an opposing player. More ernphasif is being placed on the use of proper injury-protecting equipment this st-ason. For i-xarnple, anyone needing a protective covering over the back of tht hand, must use a soft pliable material. Hard plastic or shot leather in illegal. The tame is true of forearm pads, which no be of hard material.

His nearest rival. Dr. J.

W. Sexton shot a one over par 71 and third place went to Wayne Schutte on a 72. Teeling opened with an even par. 35, then came in with a 33 on the second nine, canning birdie putts on the and sixth holes and playing even par on the other seven. Teeling trailed Dale Lehmkuhl's 34 when the final nine started and was even with Dr.

Sexton, who also shot a first round 35. Ernie Moran took the first flight title with a 75 and Ray Fink of Tripoli won the second flight with an 82. First place in the third night went to Donald Gosch with an 80 and fourth flight winner was John Poock with an 80. Fifth flight winner was Tom Murphy with an 83, sixth flight winner. Jim Nelson with an 86 and seventh flight winner was Hank Severson with a 97.

The most unusual golf of the tourney, however, was played by Chuck Anderson, a third place winner in the second flight. Anderson was 16 over par on his first round with a 51, then came back in the second with a one under par, 34. This amazing second round had six but also had one three-over-par seven, on the fifth hole. There were a great amount of birdies during the 18-hole medal play event, but only one eagle was posted. This deuce came on the seventh hole of the second round and was canned by Mel Harms, a championship flight into or through the goal line plane." 'Nuff said.

Sumner will open against Tripoli next Friday night, Sept. 9, at 7:45 p.m. Sumner High Director, Les Teeling has indicated that the athletic department is cooperating with Sumner Police Chief Art Kitner in handling traffic for this year's game and the changes will be in effect for the first game. All faculty members, students assigned to working duties on game night and players who drive to the game, will be asked to use the parking lot on the west side of the school. All others may park in the east lot, or wherever other parking is available.

An attempt will be made to get more cars into the east lot this year. Following the game, traffic will be directed west on West Sixth Street to Union Street and then south on Union Street to First Street. Members of the department will keep the traffic moving onto First Street and this should result in handling the traffic much more rapidly after games. Paul Zietlow is the new Junior High Football Coach, replacing Darold Faulkner, who resigned last season, after directing a highly successful junior high program for several years. Zietlow will be assisted by Bill Sulentic.

There are four members of last year's fine Sumner High football team who may be giving college football a try this fall. Bill Armentroiu, quarterback and Steve Paulson, guard, have indicated they will be members of the State College of Iowa freshman football squad. Bes Millies, halfback, has not fully decided whether or not he will go out for football at Upper Iowa University, but did say Thus it- alt.o the wtuatiori for Marty Creager, who was at the other slot opposite Milnirt Last year.

Football team will hold scrimmage Parents of members of the football squad and other local fans are invited to attend the inter- squad game at the senior high field Saturday night, September 3, starting at 7:30 p.m. Players will be introduced by Coach Bob Topping prior to the game. Ace Coaches are continuing to stress conditioning and have been drilling repeatedly on blocking assignments and backfield timing. The Aces appear to be good average size for this season, but will not have the real big men.

It is the hope of the Ace Coaches that they can make up for whatever they lack in size, with good speed. Biggest player on the squad is Dave Mohr, a 215 pound tackle. There are also several others up front in the 180 pound bracket, including Gerry Schwake, Dennis Buckendahl, Barry Nelson and Dave O'Brien. Sumner's backfield will be a good deal smaller than a year ago, but should have good speed. Vic Heyer and Dave Faulkner are the lefctermen returnees.

The Aces will open against Tripoli Panthers here on September 9. Game time is set for 7:45 p.m. Among regulars back from last year's fine team will be Gerald Zander, a senior tackle, Lawain Judlsch, a senior guard, Steve Ellison, a junior tackle and Carl Krumm, a junior end, Sumner High School football Coach reported "nothing new" Tuesday, which means the assess- ment of the prospects for the approaching season continues to carry a big question mark. Thus far, the Ace Coach is not entirely satisfied with the progress of the squad, but did indicate at one practice session last week, that "they are The Aces had their first night practice of the season Saturday winding up the session with a hard-hitting scrimmage. Monday was the first hot day they have had since practice opened on August 20, and line coach, Dennis Button said he felt it was good for the squad.

It served to work off some of the excess weight that earlier practices in colder temperatures hadn't quite accomplished. The Aces are being plagued by early season injuries, but apparently none of them have been of a really serious nature thus far. Senior letterman halfback, Vic Heyer, who will likely be Sumner's most dangerous running threat, sustained a pulled groin muscle when he did a "split" during Saturday night's practice. However, Heyer will be back at full go some time this week. Last Thursday, sophomore quarterback, Rick Forsman, received a knee sprain that sidelined him for two practices, but he was back in full pads Monday.

However, Bruce Buhr, a sophomore halfback, suffered a fracture of the little finger of his left hand and had dropped from AN Sepl Sopl, High. Sept. Or-ntvs Sept. ONMV Oct. Oct.

They are George Schoep- hoester, a freshman back and Reid Rogahn, a lineman.
