rule makes no particular advance IN
affording this opportunity. for end

but this new rule according 10 my
Judgment does not always fail IN its
object of affording a comparison be-
tween mass plays ana open plays.
Il il. ] believe. q drawback, for.
though end runs are usually en-
NAyed IN the middle field. mass
plays are also used here a. well rs
outside the s5-yard line. The tackle

strongest In any part OF tho field.
When tackle back plays Are for

The man In the open can acquire

however. II the crossing place were
put outside of the second man from

not too great PENALTY for holding,
since holding must be done sNAy
with. n possible. and an umpire who

The rules should be lived up to.
whatever those rules may be.
As regards the new powers OF line
men In penalizingi think the rule
covering those powers very good.
The only difficulty which could arise
from this rule Is. a conflict OF opin-
ions Of the umpire ana liueamen.
aud this possible difficulty has been
overcome by the provision that In
such cases the play Is to be replaycd.
