FOOTBALL RULES CHANGE
Quarter Back viii be Allowed to Run
With Ball.

The true version OF the changes in
the football rules which were made at
the meeting Of the Football Rules Com
mittee, which was held in Philadelphia
on April %. came out Sunday through
the Maroon. the daily paper Of the Uni
verslty of Chicago. IN which A. A..
Stagg. the new member Of the commit
tee. makes a signed statement. AT the
time Of the meeting the members OF
the committee would not make any
statement with regard to the changes.
In Stages version the changes are
quite different from those then ascer-
tained.
Six men will be kept IN the line, as
stated. but one Of the men in the back
field must be played outside the end
man of the line. The quarterback will
be allowed TO run with the ball in an
parts Of the field, provided that he goes
five yards outside OF the centre man.
This means that the checkerboard APP
pearance of the field viii be retained;
the field will not be changed in width
I'm order to avoid the narrow alleys on
the sides The value OF a goal from
the field as previously stated, win be
four points instead of five.
A number or changes were made IN
the penalties and Il was decided TO
'classlfy them, so that they might be
easily referred 10. The umpire IN the
future win have a horn instead Of a
whistle In order TO distinguish his sig
nal from that Of the referee. and when
his signal sounds a play may be COM
pleted and II a run results II win b,
allowed unless the onense caused the
run. This will do away with muci
hardship. An the penalties will be foi
either or rs yards; for interference
with a free kick the penaltgwas chang
ga 10 an advance Of l5ayards ANA put

or five Yards ina free kick. Whel

in Paris. Kentucky. we are assured, but
in the French Metropolis. Their work is

the latter, It depends entirely upon ac-

This naturally developed into little
comedies in which several OF the clowns
participated and these, presented stimuli
taneousy in several different points in the
ring and on the hippodrome tracks offered
laughable entertainment to the crowd.
This year Spader Johnson and !, with
the sanction of Mr.. James A. Bailey. have
introduced something new along the
same line of development. We call 1t bur-
lesque clowning. A pecularity of this
kind Of clownlng Is that 1t requires a
great deal of paraphernalia, and / might
say. Incidentally that the properties used
by the clowns in the Barnum & Bailey
circus require a car to transport. What
ls burlesque clowning? Simple enough.
IL Is the caricaturing Of acts IN the show
which, by virtue OF their merit have at
tracted particular attention. and also bur-
lesques upon popular events Of the day.

legitinnze clowning or not but one thing

"Of course, he doesn't do these things

Shakesperian clown was the whole thing.
Everything he said was in rhyme, and
his poetic wstticlsms were the talk of the
town Tho town wits went TO the circus
to pick up the newest jokes and to learn
Jhe greatest play upon words. The vogue
of the clown was therefore tremendous.

made the speaking clown impossible. They
Couldn't be heard and action has taken
the place Of speech Instead of one clown
there arc forty and while no one man can
command a salary equal to what Dan Rice
received. the combined expense of the
show. Is of course. many times greater.
Naturally. as the speaking clown fell
more and more to the rear, it became a
serious question how TO amuse the pub
lie and introduce those interludes of
laughter that seem so essential TO a sue
cessful arenic performance-especl to
thee hildren. Pantomine pure and simple
as introduced in the Christmas spectacle
of Humpty Dumpty would not DO. There
was not sufficient variety to 81. The mos;
patient and long-sufferlng public would
not submit to being entertained by forty
clowns, all in white face, and all attired
like the conventional circus clown. New
makeup and new costuming were de-
manded ard the circus clown presently
became a vaudeville entertainer, depend
ing entirely upon his appearance and ac
tfons to command attention and provoke
