DISCUSS THE FORWARD PASS
Football Rules Committee Would
Eliminate Elements of Chance.
Consider Play as Incomplete Unless
Ball Be Caught by the Receiving
PIayer-Wiu Decide To-day.

New York Jan. 24--TWO long sessions
were held by the American intercollegiate
football rules committee at the Murray
Hill Hotel to-day. most Of which was
given up 20 discussing the numerous
notifications that have been suggested
regarding Jhe forward pass
The committee talked all afternoon.
then appointed a subcommittee 10 con-
slider forward-pass suggestions, the same
10 report at an evening session, which
also was lengthy. There will be another
session tomorrow
There were a dozen members Of the
committee on hand to-day when L. II.
Dennis. the chairman. called the meeting
20 order. The first thing done was TO 50
through the usual process Of amalgama-
ton. then the committee was duly or
ganized for legislation for another year.
Prof Dennis was reappointed chairman,
and T. X Hail. Of Dartmouth, secretary.
The central board OF officials was then
appointed, and is the same as it has
been-Messrs. Babbitt, Camp, Fine, Den
MS. and Savage.
After the discussion Of the forward
pass. the following subcommitte on same
was appointed: Messrs. Camp. Dashiei,
and Hall. This committee got together
between sessions 20 frame up recon-
mendaJi0ns and viii report on them in the
evening
one of the most interesting suggestions
was that a forward pass should not be
considered as completed unless the bali
be caught by the receiving player. At
present an incOmpleted forward pass Is
one that hits the ground without the ball
being touched. To add the requirement
that the ball must be caught would put d
premium on catching the ball and on
accuracy in throwing il. and would make
adept handlers Of the pigskin invaluable.
A point discussed was the scramble for
the bail at the end of q long forward
pass Another suggestion of interest was
that a forward pass be allowed only In
running formation. Such a measure sp-
parenty would cut out some pretty
strategy
There were many who were in favor 10
not changing the pass at all while
change back 10 the 1906 rules that gov
erned the pass was advocated.
Still another Idea. brought to the at
teDti0n Of the rule-makers concerned the
defense as applied TO the forward pass
IL proposed IhdI NIleH defending player
caught 81 forward pass on the fly, that
he have an unimpeded opportunity to
make the catch. the same as when a
back signals for a fair catch of a punt
that he is not 10 be jostjed or shouIdered
out of the way, If he can catch the
ball
The committee was behind closed doors
until after midnight and viii hold an
other session tomorrow. by which time
il is expected the wheat will be separated
from the chaff so that action can be
taken on proposed changes.
