TEST FOR FOOTBALL RULES.
Game VIII he on Its Good Behavior
Next Season.

Chicago, May 25.-Footban, as played
under the 1906 rules. will be on its final
good behavior test this year. according
TO the report Of Coach A. A. Stage. OF the
University of Chicago, when he returned
yesterday from the New York meeting
of the joint intercollegiate football rules
committee
Coach Stage was one of those VINO
stood for another trial of the new
game. although he believes several
changes should be made. The offense,
he declares. should be strengthened. while
changes in the forward pass rules should
be adopted inasmuch as the pass is prao-
tically useless in bad weather.
In addition to two new rules announced
from New York, to the effect that a
touchback shall be declared when a for
ward pass goes over the goal line, either
rolling or on the fly. and that the man
behind the line who receives a forward
pass must be at least one yard behind
the line, except the quarter back new
penalties and official rulings were made.
The more important of these were the
following:
1utit Sidlt bt iFidile VI hNt enAhn
for deliberate attempt to draw an OPP
ponent of side, as by false start
There shall be a penalty OF fifteen yards
If a player interferes with the ball when
an opponent is making a fair catch. The
penalty formerly applied only to interior
ing with the player.
The kicker and the holder of the ball
are exempt from the ruling that none
a
when a place kick is made.
Recognition Of two lines of scrimmage
is made in the rule defining the line In
compliance with the neutral zone rule.
II the captains fail to agree on the time
of halves when a short game is desired.
the referee shall order hiTty-five-minute
halves after ten minutes.
The rule regarding touching the ball Is
changed 10 read: If the ball is put in
play by kicking, instead Of swapping II
back. no player of the side may touch
It until it has been touched by an OPP
ponent or until it has gone ten yards into
the opponents territory"
The extra umpire who will be called
the field Judge, will be an assistant 10
both the umpire and the referee. He will
occupy position well back of the defen-
sive team and nearest the side Of the field
opposite the linesman. He can thus re-
lieve both umpire and referee on the work
down the field.
He will report violations of the rules

players in any part of the field, in add

Albany, n. Y, May 25.-Barring his je-

nate trouble is found In a treatment. which
causes the food to be readily thoroughly
digested before 1t has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces

healthy digestion Is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion in
