Princeton football coach Charlie Cald well recently called for sterner penalties for unnecessary roughness. His statement came after halfback Dick Kazmaier suffered a broken nose in the Princeton-Dartmouth game Saturday.
"Fifteen yards is a cheap assessment for slugging, kicking, and other flagrant violations," he said. "I intend to recommend that we restore the old penalty of half the distance to the goal line for such infractions."
Caldwell said he was referring to college games generally, and not just the rough-and-tumble fray Saturday at Princeton, where 12 players on both teams had to be helped off the filed, and two suffered major injuries.
Meanwhile, the Daily Princetonian urged that a formal protest be sent to Dartmouth "expressing Princeton's general dissatisfaction with Saturday's foul playing."
Kazmaier was at first thought to have suffered a brain concussion.
