Dr. J. w. H. Pollard, athletic director at the University of Alabama, was in Birmingham last night, en route to OK ford, Miss, to attend the annual meet ing of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic association. Dr. Pollard, when seen at his hotel had little to say about the matters that would probably come before the association for consideration.
 In view of the widespread general talk about changes in the football rules, however, Dr. Pollard makes rather in- teresting suggestion. His idea looks to the elimination of mass plays and opening up the game generally For instance, he suggests that seven men be kept on the line of scrimmage at all times and that their relative positions to the center shall remain the same at all times. He also suggests making all tandem formations in the back field illegal. In general way here are the suggestions which he believes would improve the game and would eliminate all possibility of mass plays. Aside from these suggested changes, he is inclined to think the rules should stand as they are.
 That seven men. instead of six, be on the line of scrimmage at all times.

PoHa1d Suggests Some
 Changes M Football Rules
Believes All Mass Plays Gan Be Eliminated From Game By Keeping Seven Men in Unchanged Positions Scrimmage Line at All Times and Making
 All Backfeld Tandems Illegal

That the line men, known as left end, left tackle, left guard, right guard. right tackle and right end. shall at all times retain the same relative relation to the center. 1. e., the left end. left tackle and left guard shall under all conditions take their positions in the line of scrimmage on the centers left; and likewise the right end, right tackle and right guard on the center's right, and they must be in these positions at the moment the ball is put in play.
 That tandem formations in the back field shall be ruled illegal.
 That line men can only be drawn back from the line of scrimmage for the pur- pose of kicking the ball. and where so drawn back their places in the line must be filled by back field man.
 That all incompleted forward passes shall go as downs. and all distance pen alties for incompleted forward passes shall be eliminated.
 In the coming class games at the Uni versity of Alabama the coaches of the various class teams have already agreed to give the suggested changes thorough trial to see what can be made of them.
