Possibly the very first thing that
commends the proposed changes in the
American football rules is their sim.
plicity. Devolving upon that is their
extreme desirability and then the won
der arises that they were not thought
of long ago and put into practice.
For some time football rules have
time football men from the various col.
leges who have never advocated any
very radical departures from the code
long in vogue. Mostly minor change
has been made in the wording, or a
slight penalty has been modified, and
possibly some little attention has been
given to making the game more open.
Very little, however, for the American
college men are welded to the style
that permits of their pet formations
and are likely to be welded to II for
years.

did something that promises better to
equalize the possibilities of football
than any changes offered to the rules
since the beginning of the game.
1t has been the custom in the past to
toss coin to select the goal favored
by the atmospheric conditions for the
first half. In the second half the sides
changed from one goal to the other.
AS result. football games have been
won in the first half by reason of the
favorable conditions of the weather.

be most manifest.
The proposed change provides that
when one side mas scored touchdown
and kicked a goal, or failed to kick It,
the teams shall change goals. Thus,
If touchdown happens to be made in
the first ten minutes of play, there will
be an opportunity for the eleven that
was in possession of the unfavorable
side of the field to obtain some advan.
tage by the exchange before the men
are worn out by the fierceness of their
defensive play. This rule is also to be
in effect where either side happens to
kick a goal from field.
The second most radical change has
to do with kicking goal after touch
down has been made. II has been con.
sidered among football men for the
last three years, at least, that alto.
gether too much Importance is at.
tached to the mere kicking of goal
after touchdown has been made.
II positively seemed silly, after the
teams had struggled for twenty min
utes to try for touchdown, and one
had been successfully accomplished, to
allow one man to place the Lall to the
best advantage and try to kick goal
practically without any interruption.
The reward for a touchdown was far
! too great for the actual merit of the
point. This was recognized when the
rule was changed so that touchdown
was made to count five instead of four,
and the goal kicked was credited as
only one point instead of two.
The Lineup The new proposition
After provides that the teams
Touchdown. shall line up as for a
scrimmage after the
touchdown has been made, If not to-
gether. at least not more than five
yards apart. To the side having made
the touchdown shall be given the right
to kick a goal from field. either by a
place kick or by drop kick, but the
side against which the touchdown
shall have been made shall have the
privilege of defending its goal and
blocking the kick II able to do so, as II
would have had were the opposing
team trying a goal from field.
This is decidedly more fair to the
side which is supposed to defend the
touch down than any rule that has
bee nsuggested for the game in some
years. 1t really makes the kicking OF
goal play that amounts to something
and will add vastly to the interest OF
the contest, In addition to dwelling the

said, as he entered the room. He

"You have given names to sleeping

points to something like sensible ba-
sis.
There is no play on field much pref
tier than blocked kick, and, in the
future. should this change be adopted,
the kicking of goal will not necessarily
mean a presentation party to the side
victorious with its touchdown. but will
mean a continuance of the excellence
of the play that was necessary to bring
about the touchdown.
The change that has been suggested
relative to swapping sides after each
touchdown is sure to be heartily in
dorsed by that portion of the public
which admires football. Heretofore 1t
has frequently been the case that much
of the play took place on one end Of
the field to the exclusion of the other.

general public will be able to see free
