NEW WATER POLO RULES.
Mary Indefinite Points Cleared Up
IN the Revised Code.

After careful consideration leading water polo
players of the country have revised the rules OF
the American game bringing them mp to date and
correcting many points that in the past have been
indefinite and not conducive to progress and the
best interests OF the sport. Walter 3. Boyce of
the Brookline Swimming Club. revised the code
with the help of Captain Handley, of the New
York Athletic Club, and others.
As arranged the rules would seem to cover
about every possible contingency. although.
Of necessity be the case, considerable lati-
tude is still the referee The three main points
of contention in the past have been carefully pro-
vded for. together with some minor points that
also cropped out. The major points relate TO swim
ming under water. substituting an exhausted
player and fouls III the 4-foot line.
In relation TO the first of these three points the
rule is explicit. Rule says that under no cir
cumstances shall q man swim more than eight feet
under water with the ball. and then only when
forced under by an opponent. This is the maximum
distance and merely further defines what immedi-
ately precodes-i. g. that the bali shall never
Intentionally be carried uuser water" Eight feet
cannot be measured in water polo tank like ten
yards on a football field, and this is one case where
much must be left the judgment of the referee
was broug6t M in the New York ,hicago match
that is nov explicitly dealt with. In the case in
goal was evidently. about 10 be scored The play

against unaer the FeViseq rules III section OIL rue
game at the expiration Of his time limit if the ball
Is within his 15-foOt line in possession of the
opponents. can he re-enter the game until the
ball held passes out of that zone.
An important change has been made in relation
fouling within the 4-foot line. and two
minor points entirely new have been inserted and
the Whole code pTouSht up 70 dtte ana silpIllleG.
As now worded there seems 70 be hardly a posi-
bility of dispute.
Not the least important change is in the matter
OF penalties. In the past these have been
that referees did not care to impose them. The
old rules required suspended player remain out
OF the play until a goal was scored or the h3lc
eG vi 4
side Now the referee may this a foul
and put the offender offenders out Of the game
for period of time.
The revised rules will now be submitted TO the
AEiatcU Athletic Union for formal adoption.
