That was the general Impression that came out of this week-end's session of the American football rule subcommittee on standardizing football statistics. Chairman George Veenker of Iowa State and Harry Stuhldreher. grid coach and athletic director at Wisconsin, went into the problem at both believe a big step has been taken toward placing a truer value on performance and eliminating much synthetic record ballyhoo.

Veenker and Stuhldreher evolved the first standardized statistics forms after surveying opinions of coaches, officials and writers from coast to coast. It will he distributed to schools this fall with the recommendation that the men who keep game records follow it closely. Veenker and Stuhldreher know changes will be made in the form but hope that within a few seasons collegiate football may have a real "box score" which will give a fair break to all players and teams- large schools or small. The subcommittee decided that all rushing yardage must he measured from the scrimmage line to the point where the ball is declared dead. In some cases, it was discovered, some schools were producing hacks with huge yardage averages because their runs were being measured from the spot where they took the pass from center.

In the future, losses resulting from players thrown as they fade back to pass will be charged against the rushing total, rather than as a passing loss, the committee deciding that until pass actually is thrown the play must be considered a rushing play. There also will be no pass completions by penalty.

Safeway knotted the count in its half of the inning, then Archie Wilson, Safeway hurler, held the Printery at bay until the fifth when Louie VildosoJa singled and scored on Cross' bingle. The Print- ery turned the game into a rout with a five-run blast climaxed by Johnnie Jantz' home run. Billy Esgar allowed Safeway only four hits, while his mates nicked Wilson for 10. Sterling Glover, O'Malley hurler, was the big gun in the fourth-inning assault, clouting a homer with a mate aboard. Brawner hit for the circuit for one of Twentieth Century's three counters.

Glover limited the losers to six hits, three in the last inning, while the winners poled out eight. The Arizona Sash and First National Bank teams will swing into action in the opener at 8 o'clock tonight, with Bell's Sporting Good and Hotel Westward Ho tangling a 9:15 o'clock.

The young and spirited Toonerville team of Phoenix hopped on the strong Rivera Super Service nine and blanked It, 5 to 0. A second upset occurred when the speedy AZ Meat Packing team nosed out the Phoenix Twilight league first-half cham- pions, Shady Park Grocery, 2 to 0.

In a scoring; merry-go- Arizona Compress blasted the Peoria Merchants, 20 to 1, in five innings to main tain its boast an one of the most powerful semipro outfits in Arizona. Charley Gallardo was in rare form as he shut out the Riveras. The Toonerville pitcher let the sturdy Super Service lads down with four hits, while Steve Gamboa of the Rivera team yielded eight bingles. The Toonerville team counted two runs in the first inning, two in the sixth and one in the seventh frame. The Shady Park-A.

Z. Meat Packing game was a tight one, with neither team doing excessive hitting. Mondragon, Packer hurler, went the route, striking out five men, permitting no bases on balls and giving up five scattered hits. Felix scored in the fifth and Lionel tallied in the sixth for the AZ runs. The Grocers got as many hits as the AZ team, but could not bunch them to count when needed.

Gene Kohn pitched a nice game for the losers striking out two men, and not allowing a base on balls.

Coggins, who yesterday disposed of Carr Schwarz, Williams, was strictly on his game from the initial drive, and there was little doubt in the minds of the gallery as to how the match would end. Verney's victim hi the semifinals was Harry Robertson, Winslow.

In the championship consolation match, Dr. E. R. Foutz. Phoenix, defeated H.

Warnock, Winslow. The first-flight winner was M. B. Voight, Phoenix, who downed Lee Dover, WinsLow. Carl Mangum, Flagstaff, defeated Bill Claypool, Needles, in the first- flight consolation.

Tony Willman Wins Auto Race MECHANICSBURG, June 2.3; Willman of Milwaukee won the 20-mile feature auto race at Williams Grove half-mile dirti in the first frame. After the four-run barrage In the first, the Birds kept pecking at L. Laguna, starting pitcher for Hayden, until he was sent to thr showers in the third. Terry, a left-hander who took over for Hayden, gave the Birds some trouble the rest of the way, three runs they collected in the seventh coming from Hayden miscues rather than any lapse on Terry's part. Lawrence Harrell, Bird third- sacker, smallest and quietest man on the club, contributed his usual pair of hits.

Though not as colorful as some of his teammates while in action, Harrell appears one of the Birds' steadiest players. Ortiz and Terry of Hayden and Whitney and Espinoza of the Birds hit two-baggers. The Birds collected seven hits off Laguna and Terry. The Thunderbirds take on the Bisbee Douglas Freight nine at 8 o'clock Wednesday night at the municipal stadium, and plan to start Vic Gray, former University of Arizona hurler, who will be making his first appearance in a Bird tint- form.

First downs will not be credited on touchdown runs, the committee deciding there has been too much emphasis on first down totals when the object of the game is to score touchdowns.
