committee took UP a discussion of the
plans for directing the style of playing
and strengthening the offense sufficient
" to balance the new opportunities for
defense.
Opening Up Play
The first plan contains two main feay
tures-First, limitation OF the forward
pass to territory behind the line of
scrimmage; and second, limitation of
the width of scrimmage lines. These
two provisions of plan one cohere in a
general design to make forward passes
and quarterback runs better ground
gamers by opening up the play ana
compensating the weakness of the Of
Tense in other ways.
Two schemes for the defining of the
width of scrimmage lines were pro-
posed. One was an arbitrary line OF
five yards on each side of the ball; the
other was limitation of the line of de-
Tense to the width of the line of the
offense--everything that tends to thin
out the line invites mass plays. BY
narrowing the line the committee hopes
both to strengthen it and thus TO
make end runs more profitable. Under
this system, if the runner in circllng
the end were not boxed almost before
he got under way, he could gain free
territory at either side of the line Of
scrimmage, with good chance of gain
ing ground.
this first plan is that ii may result in
too much scoring. This will be deter
mined by experiment 1t is possible
that the distance to be gained will be
raised to fifteen yards in three downs,
with a possibility that less distance
will be recovered as the goal line is
reached, or four downs instead of three
will be allowed with the same gain re-
qured.
The second general style of play un-
der consideration provides for ten yards
distance to be gained. The forward
pass, under this plan, would be allowed
beyond the line of scrimmage, with the
present requirement of running TO
either side, five yards from the center
and with the additional change that on
forward passes the ball may be re-
ceived only by the men on the end OF
lines or by the backs. AT present the
tackles are allowed to receive the ball.
In case of an uncompleted forward pass
the ball is to be brought back TO the
point at which the pass is made, ana
the play is to be counted as one down.
This loss of a down Is the only pen
alty attached, except that in case the
man who passed the BAH nad nrst car
ried it toward his own goal the distance
he ran backwards would be lost to his
team.
such decreases in the penalty at
tached to use of the forward pass VIII
operate, the committee feels, for great
er use of the play. 1t Is also desired TO
afford protection to the man RECEIVING
the hall on a forward pass, but what
manner of protection has not been de-
termined 80,
The problem is one of the most diff
cult raised for solution. AT the begin
ming of the second ana fourth peIlous
teams are TO change goals, the ball be-
ing put in play at the same relative
positions in which it was at the end oil
he preceding quarter. Many other
points were discussed, such as whether
the kick off shall be retained ana
whether goal shall be kicked after
have been made, were not
settled. Decision on such details de-
pends on the general style of play ulti-
mately adopted.

FOOTBALL TO NOT BE
RETAINED IN KANSAS
Chancellor Strong of State Univer-
sity Much Opposed to Game
and Hoots at the
Reforms

LAWRENCE, Kas., March 27.-
Football in it's present form will not
be retained in the University of Kan
sas, of that l am confident" was the
declaration of Chancellor Strong of
the university
1.-THE opposition to the game on the
part of the regents is too strong to be
overcome by the imagined reforms
the national rules committee annually
make" continued Chancellor Strong.
Furthermore, the other schools of the
Missouri valley appear to be as greatly
opposed to the present game as Kan
sas. and it will be "A matter of great
surprise to me if the game is ever
again played by the Missouri valley
conference teams"
Chancellor Strong, while willing that
the English Rugby game be given
trial, is in favor of Il radical revision
of the American game.
