RULES FOR FOOTBALL
BUT SLIGHTLY ALTERED
Guide Will Show Only Few Changes In Code That Is
to Govern Sport During the Coming Season
Goal Counts Less
By THOMAS KIRBY.

That harbinger OF fall. the official
football guide. viii make its first ap-
peaTance tomorrow.
Changes in the rules have been few.
Those who control the destinles of the
game. realizing that the existing set has
proven most satisfactory. have declined
TO make radical alterations and when
the book is issued tomorrow It will be
found that the tinkering was done more
with an idea OF clarifying the existing
rules, particularly their phraseoiogy
than with the intention Of changing the
style of play that proved so popular last
autumn.
The Forward Pass.
Opponents of the forward pass have
been numerous with the result that this
much mooted question occupied con-
siderable time Of the national commit
&c, but after long deiiberation the de-
cision was to leave the rule practically
as It has been in the past. The only
change In the forward pass section was
TO better designate the particular play
ers who are elegioIe to receive the ball
vhcn t IS thrown.
Next season q man must be clearly
at the end IF ttf scrimmage line before
he will be qualified to participate in the
play. This . 5nser< alive treatment of
the clause is ,oSylstdered quite viStnTy
Of the Western eeicgation to the corfor-
ence which opposed the suggestion of
some Of tie Eastern men to change the
play by tossing the ball directly over
the line instead OF five yards out from
where the ball is snapped.
Counts Three Points.
During the coming campaign a gosl
from the field will count but three
points.
The reduction in the value OF this par.
ticular play IS likely to meet with the
unanimous approval OF all coaches and
players except those who are blessed
with a player with a. well-drilled toe
upon whom the team depends for its
scores. With the premium on a goal
from the field lessened this form OF scor-
ing VII probably be less popular and

As it now stands however. a vfell-hsl

Win On Merit.
BY this alteration the board did not
intend to encourage the old concentra-
ton Of attack, which proved so grueiing
in the old days. but simply to have mat
ters so evened that welI-rounded team
can win oi4 its merit.
Last fall it was mandatory for a de-
Tending SIDE after q to1chback, TO punt
out from the twenty-five-yard line, but
IN the future IL VIII be optional with

10 punt the ball over the goal line. fore
ing the opposing side to kick into the
goal and have fair catch made, from
which an attempt al goal from the field
might be made within reasonable dis
lance.
For years the rule covering the putting
Of ball into play by a center was that
should any OF the attacking side, ex-
cept the sna ppefDack make a false move
there should be q penalty. but few saw
the Joker through which center BIZ

could pull ali the opposing forward OF
side and escape punishment while the
defensive side be set back five yards.
Blocking Kicks.
The play was particularly effective
when the defense, in trying to block a
punt or drop kick. was over anxious to
get through. All the linemen would be
ready, and as soon as they saw the
center bow his elbows, would come tear
ing through with the almost irvariable
result OF an Off-side or interference
penalty.
The other changes in the rules seem
to be of but minor importance.
In addition 10 making a close study
of the whole set of rules the national
board. through a special committee. has
completely revised the list Of officials
who are recommended.
