FOOTBALL CONFERENCE.
Many Disputed Points UW Haze
To Be Settled.

The football gathering at the Murray Hu Ho,eI
last night was a love feast and ratification
meeting There have been widely divergen, oDin-
ions of the operation os the new rules and these
all found voice last evening The result was that
IT decided to interpret the rules in the next
week according to the rulings OF Walter Camp.
who occupied the chair. but that another meeting
OF the rules committee would be Immediately called
and within week half dozen points would be
brought TO the committees attention fer inter-
probation and change. This meeting will probably
be held early next week
There were seven members OF the rules COMMITTEES
present in addition 10 some hundred-odd experts.
representing a score or colleges from all over the
country. These rules committee members declared
they had no authority to rule disputed points
and that the whole question would have to be
settled by the full committee
Last lishts meeting called by the central
board of officials. Men who are TO serve by ap-
games Of the season, coaches and others prominent
in the game were invited TO attend
The meeting was called 20 order by James A
Babbitt secretary OF the central board, and Walter
planning the purposes Of the meeting, read paper
discussing doubtful points brought out thus far by
requests for Interpretation He then asked for
discussion Of the salient points.
W. T. Reid, Jr. of Harvard. called attention 10 the

the ball TO interfere for the runner that evasions
This evasion he said Ihreatene5 the life Of the
game. He pleaded for construction that pre-
vented such Interchange. Walter Camp ruled how
ever, that the rule admitted any positions to be
assumed on defence and that the restrictions
simply covered the positions assumed IN defence
Mr. Reid declared that this means that the heavy
line men be used on offence at end and be used
behind the line in attack. as before except that
only five men be behind the line instead OF SIX.
He believes this means no change in the style OF
game. barring mass plays He felt this would be
received with general dtsfavOr-
II was learned THAI in the experience OF all The

yards conSeCutively. II found that ground
could be gained in sufficient quantities through
the line 20 hold the ball In consequence the de-
fence spread out, allowing these line plungerS 70
gain their yard two in order to absolutely pre-
vent end
II is then found that the side kick and for
ward pass are compelled. Neither OF these has
reached the stage where IL be said 70 be
practical and successful II is therefore doubtful
II the game will degenerate into Interchange
OF kicks, in which luck will determine the issue.

CHANCE FOR An APPEAL.
May Be Rehearing on Disqualifca-
ton of POpe-TOIedo Car.

The racing board OF the American Automobile
Association may reopen the case which resulted
in the disqualification Of the Pope-Toledo racer
for technical violation OF the rules in the
elimination trials for the Vanderbilt Cup race
on Monday next. II the Pope-Toledo company
decides 10 make an appeal
H 5. Lehman. acting for Colonel Pope, called
up William K Vanderbilt. jr.. on the telephone
yesterday and explained the situation from his
standpoint, and Mr.. Vanderbilt advised him that
an appeal could properly be fled to the racing
board.
Nj Lehman called Mr. Vanderbilt's attention
TO the fact that the rules provide that he. as
referee, should have passed on the protest and
advised the racing board OF his decision. which
would have left the racing board free TO receive
an appeal within ten days. If TO be
made. Instead OF this Mr.. Vanderbilt and the
racing board acted on the protest IN conjunc-
ton, which practically deprived the Pope-TOledo
company Of any chance for an appeal as there
was nobody 10 appeal TO.
a number Of aftidavits were secured yester-
day which would tend to prove that nearly every
in the elimination race received outside
sistance at one time or another during the run
ming and that the PoDe-Toledo car did not
therefore. earn any unfair advantage in its in
fringement OF the rules.
