FOOTBALL.

The action, rather the inaction Of the football
rules committee in its meeting last week was dis

radical changes made TO the end that the game
might be opened up and made more attractive from
IA Spectators standpoint. and less subject TO
1he criticism of roughness aggravated by the close
Eormative plays Where the hoped for legislation
twas 20 begin and 20 what ends it might lead is not
Eenerally considered. What many followers of the
game want is change but few there are who can
suggest any changes which would not so affect the
