STRICT FOOTBALL RULES
FOR GOVERNING PLAYERS
Coaching From the side Lines VIII be
PenaIized by Loss OF Ten
Yards.

The changes in the football rules for
1905. of which there are quite num-
ber. for the most part bear upon more
strict Interpretation rather than any
thing that will affect the detail or the
play itself.
Under rule s. relating to scrim-
mage. a distinction has been made be-
tween act of the snapper-baek and act
of any other players of the side in pos
session of the ball. If the snapper
back make a motion as if TO snap the
hall whether he WithhOlds it or not, the
ball is regarded as in play and the
scrimmage begins. If any other player
of the side in possession of the, pail
makes an attempt by false start TO
draw the opponent offside and the ball
is then snapped it shall be brought back
and not be regarded as in play or the
scrimmage commenced.
Legislation has also been directed at
any players who are out OF bounds at
the time when the ball is put in play,
and rule has been made that no
PLAYER shall be out of bounds at the
time when the ball is put In play. ex-
cept the man who is holding the ball
for a place kick
instruction is given to the referee
TO blow his whistle Immediately when
the forward progress of the ball has
been stopped This has been done in
order to lessen the tendency TO fight for
the ball after its progress has been
stopped. or to steal it from player
who has practically had 1T down
A rule has also been made that when
a substitute is sent in he cannot run on
TO the field and get into the lineup, but
must go directly to the referee and re-
port himself before he can be permitted
to take his place. This is to do away
with the tendency at times when a
substitute was sent in of having both
the substitute and the man he was to
replace playing in the game at one and
the same time.
Coaching from the side lines will be
penalized by a loss of ten yards instead
of five.
In order to make definite what a
captafn might request in the way Of
the giving of time, a note has been ap-
pended to the rule. which states that
the inesman shall notify the captains
of the time remaining TO play not more
than ten nor less than five minutes be-
fore the end of each half, to the effect
that there is no objection TO the lines
man giving the approximate time to
the captain who asks for it at any time
during the game. He may not, how
ever. be asked for this time more than
three times within the last FIVE minutes
of the half.

F IND DYNAMITE

Freshmen Make Discovery on
Grizzly Peak Back OF

COLLEGE MEN AROUSED
Clew to Perpetrators OF
the Act of Vandalism IS.
Found by the Students

BERKELEY, Aug. u.-Investigation of
the report that attempts had been made
to destroy with dynamite the big &C, on
Grizzly Peak, back of the university,
revealed to-day the fact that an explosive
of high power unquestionably had been
taken to the site of the big &C." and that
practically successful demolition Of the
famous symbol on the hill had been &C
complished.
B. Klein, heading party of freshmen
visited the place to-day and found
stick of dynamite there. which they
turned over to the university authori-
ties. The freshmen also found hand
kerchief, near the stick of dynamite
bearing the initials "F. G" The hand
kerchief is expected TO serve as ciew
in the investigation that will be made OF
the affair
While no direct accusation will be made
by any person concerned, the idea is ex-
pre- ssed that Stanford men who attended
the summer school, and who became en-
broiled with the publishers of the Uni
Versity Record during the summer, are
responsible for the use of dynamite on
the big &c"
The Stanford students iE question were
charged by Walter de Leon, in a Record
editorial, with using their opportunities
as guests of the University of California,
to induce prep" school men to go 20
Stanford rather than to Berkeley. The
Stanford men came back with q rejoinder
that gIowed with heat, and for weeks the
controversy waged, ending with both
sides apparently full of bitterness.
The finding of dynamite on the hill. and
the partial destruction of the big &c" have
revived this animosity.
Freshmen now at the university will ar
range for the restoration of the cement,
which has been blown out of the concrete
letter The big "C'' was built last spring,
to take the. place of the annual Charter
Day rush, on Grizzly Peak The fresh
men class numerals were placed below
the letter and it was planned to make
pilgrimage each year to the big &c,
annually inscribing beneath it the numer-
ais of the freshmen class. The letter is
made of cement and is 50 by 80 feet in
dimensions.
