EFFECT OF NEW RULES
Will Help Eradicate Mass Plays
In FOotbsII-U. of U. Has
Adopted New Regulations.

Each year witnesses a change of some
sort in the rules of football but this
year brings the most radical change that
mas been made for years The most i'm
pOrtant of these changes is the quarter
back being allowed to run with the ball
Inc ruling makes a more open and run
, ming game. due to the fact that the GUAR
terback must 20 at least five yards out
side of center, thus Graduating to some
extent the so-called mass plays. But this
change requires greater time aud labor
in preparing the field and also puts more
duties upon the officials, so it is Ques-
tionable if the change has intrinsic worth.
The second change Is surely judicious.
as it prohibits players from charging into
a fullback after he has punted the ball
and thus a specific point of roughness is
completely eradcated. BY this change
the fullback cannot put his men on side
ball
The change permitting the choice of
kicking off or receiving the kick by the
team scored against evens the contest
greatly, as this permits losing team to
have the ball at least once after each
touchdown.
The change forbidding heavy soleIeather
protectors has its merits, as IL fosters a
more open game and lessons the chances
OF an opponent being injured by means of
them.
Making the Iinesman official timekeeper
as well as a second umpire cannot fail
putes.
The changes this year will be adopted
by the University of Utah, aud Mr..
Holmes says he will get out his chess men
and formulate plays for his team the
coming season.
The outlook at the L. of L. is brighter
than that of any previous year, as many
of last years men viii return and a
great advantage will be that the men re-
turning should know the game best of any
squad that has attended the university.
Mr.. Holmes has selected G. G. Riser to
assist him this season. This is the first
year Mr.. Holmes has had man to look
after the scrub eleven. and expects il 70

Turning for home, her spinnaker
boom poised along the mast like
lance in rest, fell TO port, and the big
sail burst out like cloud, while at
the same moment her enormous bal
loon jib-topsail belied out forward.
The smart work of the Yankees cheered
the crowds, but a moment afterward
there was dismay when the guy that
held the spinnaker pole parted or was

In setting her balloon iib the Sham
rock encountered another piece of bad
luck. One of the stops would not
break out. and the sail hung for some
minutes like limp rag on the stay.
When both had been squared away for
home 1t was seen that Reliance was
making a runaway race of it. With

fast that many of the tugs and not a

stirring. Under her towering cloud of

din which they let loose.
