board Of the intercollegiate associa.
ton, which has been in session here
As to the proposed change permitting
the forward pass no action was taken
and the old rule will stand unehang
ed.
One of the earliest points. coasie
cred by the seven men who attended
the meeting was the question OF coach
ing from the side lines The poin;
was brought up that, as In baseball
where the side line coaching is al
lowed il might be advisable TO allow
the same privilege in football. 1t did
not, however, meet with general ap
proval, and was voted down.
Coaching from the side lines in
football, is, however, occasionally
done, but when detected is penalized
the old penalty being a loss of five
yards. This penalty was made more
strict in order 70 discourage the ten
dency 20 evade the rule and hereafter
the penalty for sldeline coaching will
be loss of ten yards.
The rules of the game were amend
ed In some slight particulars and
more carefully codified.
