  Writer Plays Game Officials The usually calm and conServa- tive Roy Mumpton of The Worces- ter Telegram wheeled out his typo graphical shootin’ irons againS three of the four football game of- ficials of the Syracuse 21–⁠12 sur. prise over Holy Cross last Satur- day. New Haven’s lbie Booth, ref cree of the game, was the only one of the quartette of horn-blowers given a clean bill of health, in- solar as competence in the run ming of the game under the rules was concerned; “his job being par ticularly difficult because he re- ceived no cooperation from his associates” The trio referred to by MT Mumpton included: Fred J. Mur- ray of Georgetown, the umpire; Charley MacKay of Brown, the linesman and A. w. SamborsN of Harvard, the field judge. The unusual part of the cri- ticism by the Worcester writer of the officials is that, after elim- mating home town defense atti- tudes, by sating plainly that Holy Cross lost the game because ot its mistakes; he suggests movie re- view of the game by Asa Bush nell, eastern college football con- missioner; naming FIVE situa- tions in the game, where he claims the officials erred in their judg- men UNDER THE RULES as fol- loWs:- While attempting to offer no alibi for the Crusaders loss (their own mistakes were re- sponsible), the officiating was mighty lax and we suggest Asa Bushnell, the Eastern Intercolle- giate football commissioner, take a look at the movies of this game and see how some of his whistle-tooter are pretending to earn their money. We recommend he look at five plays particularly. These were: l. The calling of dead ball when Syracuse’s Robinson, tackled by Cregar while still trying to pass, dropped the ball and John Fon- tana recovered for H. c. at midfield in the second quarter. 2. The fragrant offside charge of Syracuse’s right tackle on the third-quarter play in which De- Filippo was thrown for seVen- yard loss after H. c. had tied to- gether two first downs and marched to the Orange 35. 3. The manner in which Watt bumped Dieckelman out of the way before intercepting DeFilippo’s pass in the third quarter. 4. The obvious clip which was applied to Dieckelman as he reached to tackle SlovenSki when that speedboy was just about to break loose on his 4z-yard punt return in the final period. about to break loose on his 42- yard return in the final period. who was knocked down, as he 5.
