This years changes in the football
rules are printed for the first time in
the Spauiding Guide for 1901. just is
sued The changes do not effect the
general style of the game, but a num-
Der of points are elucidated which it
would be we'll Tor all players and Of
hciais of the game to know.
In section D of rule the definition
of a safety is elaborated so as to make
Kick by player from behind his goal
line, which sends the ball across the
side line before IL reaches the line of
the goal posts, a safety.
Heretofore such a play would have
given the other side a touchdown. The
ball would have become theirs as soon
as it crossed the side line. and on
bringing il in they would touch it down
behind their opponent 1~~Eho kicked
the ball-goal line, thus making a
touchdown. The rules ecommittee
thought this not quite fair, and have
now made the misplay count as a safe
~. 1t is a decidedly interesting point
and though it seldom, if ever came up
in a game, it is well to have it cleared
up
To rule TO- which has to do with Off
side play, is added a note more clearly
6eNning being ahead of the ball" and
doing away with an inconsistency as to
what part of the ball should be reck-
oned upon as the deciding line. Rule
u is SO altered that two minutes is
tne maximum time to be taken out for
delay
II was possible TO get around this
