WIN Change Foot Ban Rules.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, June 6-The foot
ball rules committee has decided to make
two alterations in the rules. according 10 a
statement given out tonight by Walter
Camp, chairman of the committee, who
said: We practically agreed 20 make
changes in the rules governing the number
OF men who are TO be kept I'm the rush line
and with regard 10 the quarterback. We
will draft rule for next season which will
require that from one twenty-five-yard line
to the other seven men viii be required in
the line. That will prevent mass plays and
heavy formations in the center OF the 1eid.
Inside the twenty-five-yard lines there will
be no such requirement The rules win
allow the quarterback in the same section
of the field to run with the ball, provided
he cross the line Of scrimmage at least nve
yards from where IL Is put In play.
