Uniform set of Rules.

Athens, Ga., Jan. 8, 1898.
 It seems to be the unanimous opinion of all the southern colleges that some modifi- cation of the rules of foot ball is desirable. Of course, the ideal solution of the ques- ton would be for all the colleges throughout the country to agree upon the moaific@ions and play under uniform set of rules However, this is not absolutely necessary, for, with the exception of a few of the border colleges, almost all of the games played by the members of the Sodtnern Intercollegiate Athletic association con- fined to themselves Consequently, there is no real reason why we should not go ahead and make such notifications as we may think best for our especial needs and con- ditions.
 In fact, I am coming rapidly to the opn- ion that the game of foot ball should be different in the warm climate of the .outh and the colder and more invigorating eli mate of the north, east and middle west. During our first month of practice the wather Is so warm that foot ball uniforms are positively uncomfortable and the play CTS lose weight instead of gaining as a re- suit of the training. Hence, our players are not prepared, physically, for the pres ent style of play, made so vigorous and de- termined by the approach of the climax of the season.
 Just what changes in the present rules

.A FORECAST OF SOME
 CHANGES IN FOOT BALL RULES

The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association at it's last annual meeting, held in this city on Dec IS, unanimously adopt ed a resolution looking toward several radical notifications of the foot ball rules as they now exist
 A committee consisting of W. L. Dudley. of Vanderbilt; Dr. c. H. Herty, of the University of Georgia Prof. c. H. Ross, of Auburn; M. G. Johnston, of Sewanee, and John Lombard. of Tulane, was ap- pointed to draft modified set of rules. This committee is to have meeting, prob ably in Birmingham, sometime in March to take final action on the matter.
 An advisory board of foot ball experts was appointed to assist this committee, and suggestions will be obtained from Wal ter Camp and other authorities on the sub- ject of foot ball.
 The Age-Herald has sent inquiries to each member of this committee, and to Prof. Wm. P. Taylor, member of the ad- visory board, asking What, in your opinion, are the most important changes that should be made in the foot ball rules?" Their replies are printed in full be- low.
 They are unanimous in the opinion that the guards back and other mass play formations are doomed, and that the way to prevent them is by requiring seven men on the line and no player in motion when the ball is snapped. All of them do not favor the rule requiring ten yards to be gained in four downs. Several other im- portant changes are suggested.
 Abolish Mass Plays.
 Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 8, 1898. The foot ball rules of the Southern Inter collegiate Athletic association, as well as the rules of the Northern and Western colleges should be amended so as to abolish all mass plays. This includes the guards back" plays and all others of this char acter. This, think, could be accomplished by requiring seven men to be on the line when the ball is snapped, and no player should be allowed to start until the ball is put in motion.
 I am still undecided as to the effect of requiring ten yards to be made in four downs I fear that it would result in too many tie games with scores of nothing to nothing.
 Whatever changes may be adopted, am in favor of independent action of the asso- citation, irrespective of any course the northern colleges may pursue. However, it would be very much better to have uni form rules throughout the country, and am endeavoring to get the cooperation of all the colleges in the north and west in the framing of the rules, but cannot now say what success I shall meet with.

Modification of Five Yards.

Sewanee, Tenn, Jan. 8, 1898. think that the most important and ben eficial change that could be made in the football rules would be a rule requiring that ten yards instead of five be gained in four downs. This would eliminate almost entirely the mass plays and bucks through the center, which, though the surest meth cd of advancing the ball, very seldom gains as much as ten yards in four downs. This ten-yard rule would therefore neces- sitate the open style of play, in which kicking, running, lodging, double passes, and, in fact, all kinds of agility would be at a premium, while mere strength and brute force would be useless
 I am also in favor of a rule requiring seven men on the line when the ball is snapped. This will prevent the heavy fly ing interferences that have become so for midable of late, and will also prevent all other methods of mass play.
