Four base bah games are scheduled to be
played IN Barre this afternoon by local
teams, which shows there is just as much
interest IN the game here as there ever
was. Why couldn't some Of the enthus-
lasts Of this city arrange with Montpelier,
NOrthfeld and Hardwlck for a four-corn-
cred league, the teams ii each town to be
made up wholly Of local players, and a
series Of games arranged for the season.
Such a local league would create quite an
interest and no end Of amusement and
could be SO arranged as not to be en- ex-

Close Formations TO Be Restricted.
More open play Assured.
Walter Camp, the chairman Of the
football rules committee, broke his ST.
Ience the other night over the work Of
the committee, says a New Haven dis
patch TO the New York American. He
said the following changes in the rules
were decided upon at a recent meeting
Of the committee at Philadelphia:
Between the twenty-five yard lines,
from one twenty-five yard line TO the
other, seven men shall be kept in the
line. Within the respective twenty
FIVE yard lines toward the goals the old
style Of mass play is allowable.
Between the respective twenty-five
yard lines, practically the center Of the
field, the quarter back win be permit
ted to run with the ball without previ-
ousIy passing it to any ones provided
he crosses the line Of scrimmage at
least five yards from where the BAH is
put into play
These changes have been adopted
with a view to making the play Of the
great college game more open or spec
tacular. While the changes in the
rules win have this effect, the rules are
not 50 sweeping as they seem at first
glance.
when the teams are within twenty
five yards Of a goal the side In posses
sion Of the bali can use the guard back
or tackle back format8on Ia short. the
style iof mass play that has been in
vogue on the gridiron during the past
few years.
While the quarter back can now run
with the bail, he only has this power to
very limited degree, as be will have
to cross the line within five yards Of
where the ball was put in play. About
all he can do Is to plunge straight for
ward or at an angle He could hardly
accomplish an end run with this re-
striction Again, lie has only this priv
fege in center field between the twen-
ty-fve yard lines,
Another rule practically adopted by
the committee is to allow the side
scored against 70 have the choice Of
kicking off or taking the defensive
when the ball Is again put In play.
