CHANGES IN FOOTBALL

New York. Dec. 23.-There will be
the lievliest interest in the meeting OF
the intercollegiate Athletic association
OF the United States on Saturday. aside
from tho developments of the meeting
in the general conduct OF athletics In the
colleges. on account OF the bearing Il
Will have on the makeup of the inter-
collegiate football rules COMMITTEES. and
therefore, upon the revision OF the
game. which must be undertaken imme-
diately after New Years
The seven members Of the football
rules committee whose tenure OF office
expires this week VIII he replacd by
that meeting. and upon the selection
will depend the attitude of the football
rules committee toward the changes
suggested. 1t is likely that all of the
seven men now serving will be re e-elect-
ed and that they will then combine
with the old football rules committed as
has been done in the past two years
while the change will be made SO that
their term OF service shall be extended
to three years instead OF one.
There Is the keenest feeling on the
question OF the alteration or The forward
pass. Since Walter Camp started the
discussion by his condemnation OF the
forward pass In its present form there
has been heard from players on the field
a widespread condemnation OF the for
ward pass. Players and coaches alike
have been opposed to the present form
of the pass. though the public has been
disposed TO look upon the play with fa-
vor. The reason for the public support
is the belief that the forward pass is
largely responsible for the opening up OF
the game which Is so popular while the
players know that the forward pass has
been the smallest factor i'm this develop
ment The primary cause has been the
10-yard rule and the neutral zone, com
bined with the forward pass and the on
side kick, the latter two plays operat-
ing from their moral effect rather than
from their actual benefits.
A careful canvass OF the IL members
OF the present rules committee shows
that seven are positively opposed to the
forward pass in its present form and
believe some decided change I'm IL is alb
solutely necessary. Three favor the pass
in Its present form. and four. following
their usual custom. believe that they
should not commit themselves on any
issue prior 10 the meeting OF the com
mittee. and are accordingly silent. Ii is
certain. however. that at least two of
these want the modification of the rule.
so that changes are sure TO be made.
