The further news from Peary that

FOOTBALL LAWS
TO BE CHANGED
GridirOn Experts
Plan to Make
Game Safer.

What promises to be one Of the most
argumentative football meetings ever
held is to take place in New York
Dec. %. Captain Palmer q. Pierce.
U. s.. A., president Of the International
Athletic association of the United
States, has issued call for the ennual
meeting Of that body and has included
in the notice a request for opinions
from all members on the subject OF
football. These three questions are
asked by way of gathering the infor-
nation sought
Shall the American game be retained
or shall another (Rugby or Association
be substituted7
Shall the rules Of the American game
be continued as they are (practicRily) 7
Shall the rules Of the American game
be revolutionized?
The discussion on the football rules
will come with the election Of a rules
committee, the members OF which sit
with the old committee to formulate
the code. Instructions win undoHbted-
ly be given to this committee, and
these instructions VIII represent the
views of the association on the game
and the changes it will hold to be nee
essary for the elimination so far az
possible Of undue roughness and seri-
Gus accidents.
A large attendance of delegates from
the colleges composing the association
Is looked for this year In view Of the
agitation against football, and some
delegations, 1t is thought, will be In
structed as to their action on the ques-
ton OF revision Of the football rules.
There Is no doubt that the sugges-
tionB Of Alexander Monat, a famous
back at Princeton In the early eighties
and one Of the greatest drop kickers
In the history of football, win be con-
sidered. The latter has outlined the
most comprehensive and at the same
time the simplest revision Of the rules
for the elimination Of mass play that
the present agitation has brought
forth. Mr.. Moffat wants rule calling
for the complete division Of the grid
iron into a checkerboard, with divi-
sions flvs yards square ana requiring
one man, and only one man, to be
placed In a division as the opposing
teams line up for a rcrimmage. There
would be one exception to this. A cen
ter and quarterback could line up
in the same division, and one defend
Ing back could be In the same division
as the defensive center.
