SETTLE FATE OF
FORWARD PASS

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.--whether the
forward pass or other innovations In
football legislation have come to stay
will be definitely decided at the meet
ing OF the intercollegiate football
rules committee in this city on FRI
day and Saturday. The conference
will be attended by seven members of
the old committee, and seven chosen
from the intercollegiate A. A. u. 8.
The complete personnel OF the COM
mittee will be as follows:

DR.. j. l.. Lees, Nebraska; DR.. ". l..

The call for changes in the use OF
the forward pass has been so persist
ent since the close OF the season that
Il Is almost certain that this will DO
the main topic OF discussion at the
meeting. The delegates 10 the com
nittee deriving their Offices from con-
nection with the I. G.. A. A., have al
ready reported to their association
that notifications of the pass are be-
Ing considered, and that there are also
SEVERAL advocates OF change In this

codifcation OF whatever changes may
be made will be put In the hands OF a
subcommittee TO draw up the amend
ments.
