NEW YORK March 31-The American
intercollegiate foot ball rules committee q
consolidation of the old foot ball rules COM
mittee and the representatives of colleges
who attended the recent conference on foot
ball reform held in this city, finally adopted
today the new playing rules for 1906 The
committee sat until late tonight, the task
before it being a tedious one. The COM
mittee has attempted to open the game
wherever possible, and to eliminate un-
necessary roughness and brutality. At the
same time the committee has strfven to re-
tain some semblance of the game as it has
been played in this country during the
past several years. One of the principal
changes doubles the distance to be gained
In three downs, ten yards now being re-
CURED of the team on the offense instead
of five. as heretofore.
Forward passes are to be allowed, and
whenever forward pass crosses the goal
line it shall count as touchback. Reforms
in methods of tackling, holding and inter
ference have been provided and the penal
ties for fouls have been severely stifrened.
six men only are to be on the line OF
scrinimsge A central board of control is
to pass upon the competency of all game
officials. More power is given to the game
officials. and it is provided that there shall
be a referee two umpires and linesman
In all games of first Importance.
The committee has endeavored to cover
all points of the game over which COM
plants have arisen. The effectiveness OF
the new rules In eliminating rough play,
however. can be proved only when they are
put into actual practice, as on paper they
are largely of technical character.
