One point In particular which caused
some trouble last year when the Car
Isle Indians Introduced play in
which there was some uncertainty as
to whether certain men are to be re-
gardcd on the end of the scrimmags
line or behind the line was cleared up.
The new version OF the rule provides
that In order to be eligible to re-
ceive forward pass a player must
have been mt least n yard behind the
limo when the ball Is put in play.
a new rule was introduced, which
provides that n forward pass crossing
the goal line on tho bound or rolling.
whether before or after being legally
touched, Is to count as n touch back
to the defenders OF the goal.
a committee was appointed to act
as n central board OF officials for the
coming season. 1t consists OF Messrs.
j. A. Rabbit, OF Haverford; j. 3. Fine.
OF Princeton; Walter III. Camp OF Yale;
C. w. Savage. of Oberlin, and l.. l.

Grafton of various football matters.

diction over officials. uniform fees and

Just before the close of the reading
of the report. tho name OF the extiti
official on the field during the game
provided for in the February meeting
was changed from field umpire to read

MIDDIEs HARD AT WORK.

ANNAPOLIS, MD, May e5.-Coach
Richard Glendon. of the Naval Academy
crew, has begun work with his charges
with the special object of fitting them
for the four-mile race at Poughkeepsic
on June Goth. That race will be double
the distance of the middies' previous
contests
The members of-the crew were much
encouraged by their fine victory over
Columbia. on Saturday, and went TO
work with great vim and spirit While
the Navy crew will be coached in q
somewhat slower stroke for the longer
distance, there will be no particular
change otherwise in their methods.
The crew is in splendid shape physi-
cally and fit now, 1t is believed, for
four mile race If necessary.

NEW YORK. May 25.-Roger Bresnt-
han. ono of the Giants catchers. does
not take seriously the promised formal
protest of Manager Fred Clarke, OF tina
Pirates. on the matter of Bresnahan
wearing cricket shin guards In ball
game.
1t cannot be said that Roger looka
quite artistic with this latest addition
to his a.mor All that he would need
TO make him appear like knight of
old, would be for him to get long
lance in his right hand. His big mitt,
his chest protector, his mask. and his
shin guards carry on, the illusion in all
other particulars.
Clarke is using his bonnet for
megaphone when he registers kick on
these shin things" said Bresnahan. Il
can be bowied over Just as easily with
these things on my legs as without
them. Thu only difference is that an
unfricndly meeting with pair of
spikes VIII not cost me the loss of q

''This new arrangement OF mine is
simply meeting the eNigency Of spikes
WITH rubber protector-and 1t seems
to mo that IT is no more illegitnate for
me to protect myself with shin guards
than ii Is for base-runners to threaten
me with spikes. ! can't see where
