NEW RULES
make GAME
II UNCERTAIN

NEW YORK, Sept. ga definite
! lihe on the possibilities of the new
1 football rules is looked for this week
when Yale. Harvard, Princeton, Dart
mouth. Brown, West Point, Annapolis
ahd Cornell play their first games OF
tie season.
Coaches refuse to accept the defeat
bot Pennsylvania by Ursinus, Satur-
day as indicating that the 1910 rules
have weakened the game or placed an
Eundue premium on the lighter teams.
tThey say that Pennsylvania defeat
was merely one Of the fortunes OF the
lgame, such as turned up now and then
Eunder the old rules.
From the camps of all the big teams
however, come reports today that the
coaches are ''aeroplaning" slightly and
|are looking with misgiving on the out
come of their first games.
Saturdays games proved one thing
kconclusively; the new game will be
Emore open than the old, which, IL is
kbelieved, will make it much more In
Iteresting from a spectators stand
IpDint. With the open game, comes
Ifhe greater chance for unexpected and
Istartling plays, and a degree of uncer-
kt3inty that will undoubtedly make
kf@otball more of popular sport than
tit has ever been.
