Football New Rules.
Two changes in the football rules
for the coming season have been
adopted by the intercollegiate foot
ball rules committee.
The first rule provides that in the
case of a forward pass, the player must
be at least a yard back from the line
when the play is begun. This rule
was adopted to remove the ambiguity
of the old rule as to whether the
players were on the end of the scrim-
mage line or behind the line.
The other rule provides that a for
ward pass crossing the goal line on
bound or rolling, whether before
or after being legally touched, shall
count as a touchback to the defenders
Of that goal.
The name of the new official provid-
ed for at the last meeting has been
changed from field umpire" to field
! judge" to prevent confusion.
