Any player intending to make "a fair
catch must give signal by raising his
hand above his head. This doesn e mean
a half arm motion, but actually raising
the hand in the air, where everybody
can see it. In the past players have
been known to claim that they sig
nailed for a fair catch when they barely
had one hand upturned.

passed in it's original form it was not
SO liberal, and the forward pass would
have become an isolated play. Under

p To Stop Mass Play. -.
!. The ten yard gain in three downs is
the result Of an effort of the committee
to do away with successive mass plays
enough to believe that it will not have
that effect, but the indications are that
it will. A team may try one or two
mass plays, and finding that they are Of
little avail, will be compelled to- fall
back on some other attack in order to
gain the necessary distance. In that
way the open game will result and the
sport will become more like the free
running games which are popular in
England. Of course, the: ten yard gain
does not make it necessary to rule the
present marking system will be con-
tinued in order that officials may have
better ideas as to the distance gained
or lost. ........ 49,.
BY, the new arrangement of men on
the teams it becomes compulsory that
there shall always be six men on the
line Of scrimmage for the side that has
possession Of the ball. If but, six men
are on the line, one of those not on the
line must have both feet outside the
outside foot Of the player on the end
Of the line. The intent of this rule il
to put an end to the compact forma

NJ EW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 15.-
IN Captain Sammy Morse, of the
Yale football eleven, arrived
this afternoon and held a, conference
with Manager Knox and Head Coach
Rockwell. They announced. that the
first practice would be taken Monday.

eleven arrived from Chicago and joined
the conference. Advisor Camp cannot
reach here until Monday. The faculty
has refused to allow players to eat
at the varsity training tables, and the
players have formed a cooperative
table and -dormitory until Sept: g..
Only fifteen players, all backfeld
candidates, are expected when the first
practice of the season is taken Mon
day. By the end Of the week twice
that number will be on hand. 'Lydig
Hoyt, halfback for three years, was
expected last evening. He has sent
| word that he will be on hand when
the first practice takes place. =, f., 49,.
One of the rumors current is that
secret practice will be ordered before
the close of next week. Practically
all of the spring work was behind
closed gates, and it is the general be-
lief that the Yale coaches will not
show their hand in the line Of the new
plays till the season is we'll along. How
the faculty will take this innovation
cannot be guessed. They protested last
year against ordering secret practice
early. That was one of the reforms
they demanded in the general shake
| up of the game last winter.
When Yale takes the field for the
opening game here Oct. g., with Yves,
