BUCK HARRIS IS PRIDE OF TAMPA New Boss of Vi'a*liiii?toii Senator on Playing Field Comes Pretty Near to Own. ing the City for Time Being. By JOHN B. FOSTER CWIM IK,. ? Tampa, Ha.. March 26. ? Stanley Raymond Harris, better known as Buck," the now boss for Washing ton on the playing field, owns Tam pa for the moment, and is having 1 the time of his young life.

The new rule eliminating all tees, I will be very much in the minds of | the spectators as the next season starts, and the kickers will feel | very much like the golfer who has been playing winter rules and is Huddenly called upon to play the ball where it Ilea. They will find some difficulty at first, especially j when they wish to get the ball well up into the air to give the line ' time to get down the field under 1 the kick. Placement kicks will be rather I? more difficult to make, but other wise the effects will not be great und the kickers probably will soon j adjust themselves to the change. As had been predicted, the com mittee made no radical changes In j the balance of attack and defense [or in the general method of play. The change in try-for-polnt ol ' placing the ball on the three yard line may tend to tempt teams to es say a running game but the wrltei rather doubts It. It will slightly favor the kick. The permission given the defense to intercept a forward pass after it has hit an ineligible player will not prove a very vital change, although some think it will. Hut the endow ing of the referee with power to pre vent interference will help the de fense. The key move of the meeting was to speed up the game, prevent stall ing and unreasonable delay, and suf ficient power is placed in the hands j of the referee to do this. Moreover, ? the penalty of five yards Instead of two for time out after a captain has used up all hia allotment will be I quite effective, even though parti I ally balanced by increasing the al lotment. BERLYBlAffi IN SEMIFINALS Mecln Krohn at First Regi ment Armory Next Monday Night in Preliminaries to Striflling-McTigue Fight. By FAIR I'bAY Copyright, 1924. by The Ad*?nee New York, March 26. ? It didn'i take Paul Derlenbach long to drop back to the seini-flnal rank. He will occupy this position next Monday night when Stribllng and Mike Mc Tlgu e offer the big attraction In the First Regiment Armory In New York. His opponent will be Harry Krohn of Pittsburgh. Krohn Is not supposed to rate in Delaney's class but he is a strong, hard hitting boxer, and if Derlen bach topples him over it will do a lot to restore Paul to popularity. Krohn has stood oft young Stribllng in two bouts and has met a lot of other good men, always making a fight, even if not winning. If Derlenbach stows the Pltts burgher away, Rlckard will put him on at the Garden agnlnst some one as classy ns Paul's manager, Dan Hlckey, will allow. Hickey Is not going to rush his man any more, that is certain. It looks as though Luis Vlncen- I tlnl's first fight In tills country will , And him facing Pal Moran. At least | this will be his flrHt. real test. Frank Flournoy, Rlckard's matchmaker, is j .dickering with the young Chilean now and If arrangements go through the bout will be set for May 2 at the Madison Square Garden. A study of Derlenbach's style in dicates that he can knock out al most any boxer he meets who hasn't the art of skilled foot work. Dut where a fighter steps around on his toes as Delaney did, Paul, It is be lieved, Is golnc to have Rreat diffi culty In delivering his knockouts. Reports from Duenos Aires aa/ that Luis Flrpo made more money out of his Jim Tracey bout last year than he made subsequently out of all | his Argentine fights. Which shows that Firpo's fellow countrymen don't jeare any more for setups than fans I elsewhere. MULT I GRAPHING Multlgraphed Letters. Cards, Names filled In. Envelopes addressed.

There seems to be more than a chance that the elimination of mud or artificial tees from football will play the mls chicf with the game, particularly In I the kick-off. To make an accurate placement kick when the ball Is ly iing upon the turf even in the most 'advantageous position is exertmely difficult; one might almost call It a matter of luck. Certainly the ball will carry neither so far nor ro high. .This may well revolutionize this Im portant department of the game. Dalls will go low. qften Into the 'arms of the nearby defense, or will I roll along the ground. Often there 1 will be miserable direction. The ob ' Ject of the change is to save time employed in building tees, in having ;the ball roll ofT, etc. If this was the only trouble an artificial tee to be j removed by an official Immediately the kick off is made would hare solved It. It looks like an extreme ly ill-advised piece of legislation. Advancement of the kick-off from the 40 yard line to midfleld is a poor sop. The decision to place the ball on the three yard line instead of the five for play after touchback is an other poor sop. The play should be done away with altogether. Penalties of Ave yards ? raised from two? for time out more than three times In a half will prore ben eficial. Granting of power to referee to ? refuse to take time out when Intent ? to delay Is apparent, is good. So is the rule that at the end of each quarter a gun shall be fired. The clearing of the on-slde kick rule was a necessary act. The warn j ing against Ineligible players going | down us screen for forward pas* re 1 ceivers will do no good until it is something more than a warning. Finally the provision for declln Ing a penalty when a defensive .nin catches a forward pass which al ready has struck or been touched by an ineligible member of the attack ing side, is quite all right.
