yard line. This, 1t is easy to see, is
very important change, and it provides
very great release to any team driv-
en- down into its own goal. particularly
when there is a strong wind blowing
against them. This change will permit
team that has been forced to make a
t0uchbaek to have some chance to get
out of their difficulties even If the
wind is against them. Formerly they
were forced to kick the ball cut while
the opponents stood waiting for it and
ready to make q fair catch, or, falling
In that, still to have good chance at
drop kick.
The defensive side were forbidden to
: kick the ball cut Of hnunis,rand hence
their helpiessness, for even IL the first
try by the opponents failed to make a
goal 1t put the ball across the goal line
once more. and the defenders were in
the same difficult position again. Now,
under the new rule, in the first place, a
side has oil the advantages of kicking
out as under the present rules and
none of the disadvantages. for they

possibility of considerable gain. Then.

therefore, equivalent to coticedfng the
side which received the ktckout what
is equivalent to catching the ball and
running it out. with safe conduct, until
they reach their twenty-five yard line.
If they merely touch the ball back this
touchback gives them this privilege.
AS there have been some discussions
from time to time as to players taking
up the game for the first time and not
knowing what the names of the posi-
tons mean the rule book this year will
have a definition Of the positions and
a designation of the players as ordi-
narily grouped.
In several games last year the ref
cree blew his whistle to indicate
foul, sometimes inadvertently, and as
the referees whistle made the ball
dead it was impossible for the offended
side to take advantage of whatever
run they made by refusing the penal
ty. For this reason the rules this year
call particular attention to the fact
that the referee should never under
any circumstances blow his whistle to
thus indicate foul However, if he
should inadvertently do so the ball is
still dead and play must stop.
One or two changes were made for
the sake of making the penalties uni
form, and it was suggested by the rule
makers that the position of the referee
should be behind the line of offense.
Coy the Greatest of Players.
There seems to be no one in sight
at this time to challenge the suprema-
cy of E. II. Coy of Yale during the
gridiron campaign as the greatest
player of the country. Coy is one OF
those rare instances Of the ideal play
err Physically and temperamentally
he is the embodiment of the qualities
needed in the all around player. Not
only is he fast and sturdy runner
and on the defensive sure tackler,
but he is a quick thinking, a sure
thinking and far thinking general.
Not only is he a swift dodger and a
crushing, crashing line plunger, but he
fails to lose his temper when his OPP
ponents calculate that most likely he
will, for making a man lose his tenn
