knowledge OF the effect OF the new rules.
Ordinarily the elevens OF the larger coll
leges and universities would plunge right
into the work but their coaches are not
so sure OF themselves this year. because
under the new rules that call for open
play the lighter teams have as much, II
not more. chance OF victory than the
heavy ones. and IL is not the policy OF the
big universities TO allow their less pre-
tentious opponents To score on them at

ed with great eagerness by those inter-

lecture that accounts of contests will be

This is the first time In many years that
the small fry. as these colleges are re-
garded by the larger universities. will be
able TO go into the game with the assur-
ance that they will stand almost an even
chance Of victory with big varsity teams.
And from the way the little teams are
taking UP the work It looks as II they
will make the big fellows look 10 their
laurels.
OF all the changes in the rules the one
which has aroused the most comment is
that doubling the distance to be gained

tend that IL would result in many tic
