Important Changes Have Been
Made in Football Rules.
Quarterback Is Less Hampered
and Offensive Position.
USE MORE OPEN PLAY.
Coach Stage Says Game Will
Be Simpler for All.
Less OF the Mass Play Which
Has Caused Criticism.

Chicago, May 7.-RaIical changes in
football rules. which are intended 10
make the most popular Of college sports
simpler and less dangerous by using
more '.open play than was allowed by
last years code, have been made By
the college football rules committee
Coach A. A. Stage of the University
of Chicago, the western representative.
has returned from Philadelphia, where
the session met last week, and made
known the changes which were decided
upon.
The principal new rules relate to the
scoring of points, number of men back
of the line. the running of the quarter
back with the ball, penalties, and the
preference of the KICKOFF.
Hereafter drop kick or a place kick
will count instead of points.
The change which will modify the
game allows the quarterback to run
with ball on any part of the gridirOn-
terback was allowed to carry the bail
beyond the line of scrimmage, but only
inside the checkerboard, which was be-
tween the 25-yard lines.
This year the checkerbOard will ex-
tend from goal to goal.
Only six men will be required on the
scrimmage line, and four men besides
the quarterback will be allowed behind
One of these must play outside of
tackle. Last year the rule required
seven men on the line of scrimmage,
which left only three back for offensive
purposes and weakened the offensive
game.
Twenty yards was considered too
much of a penalty by the committee
and the maximum penalty for holding
! in the line was reduced to Is yards,
while the 1O-yard penalty for Offside
play and other offenses was made five
yards.
Officials will be instructed to penalize
a side whose player attempts to draw
an opponent off-side by trick to the
extent of five yards.
The rule regarding the fair catch.
which has always been indefinite, has
been cleared up.
If making a fair catch should be in
terfered with his team may receive 10
yards, and put the ball in play by a
scrimmage, or may receive five. yards
and have a free kick
The team which is, losing may have
the choice of the kickoff or the wind.
Other changes. require the team kick
ing the ball out from the 20-yard line
after a touch back or safety, If the bail
is kicked out of bounds twice, to put
it in play from the 35-yard line. the
center to stand Is yards from the ball
in the kickoff, and the umpire to use
a horn or other loud instrument instead
of whistle.
L think every one of the changes are
good" said Stage. THE game will be
simpler for both the player and the
spectator and the element of luck VIII
be lessened.
THE running of the quarter back in
all parts of the gridiron makes the
game devoid of the mass play, which
has come in for so much criticism"
