TEST NEW CODE

Interesting Football Experiments
Now in Progress at Two Southern
University Fields.

According 10 letters and dispatches
from the south. II will not be an EN-.
tirely theoretical set OF conditions
which will confront the Football Rules
committee when Il meets In New York
next month. In order that something
! concrete may be known Of the work.
Ing OF the resultant plays under the
proposed changes II has been decided
to give the suggestions practicable
tryouts on football field. with two
college elevens AS the means OF the
experiment.
AT the University OF Virginia. at
Charlottesville. Dr. w. A. Lambeth.
who is a member of the rules com
mittee. will experiment, using the
members OF the first and second
elevens OF that institution. Captain
Yancey and the players have volun.
tarily agreed TO resume light training
in order that they may be physically
able TO give n capable demonstration
OF the worth OF the suggestions.
Further south. at the Georgia School
of Technology. a similar course of pro
cedure will be In order. Under the
guidance OF Coach Helsman. there will
be one or more games played By
elevens representing junior and senior
classes OF the institute. These games.
as in the case In the trials at the Un.-
versity OF Virginia. will be conducted
under a rough code already drawn up
by several OF the leading members or
the rules committee
II will not be possible TO try out all
the suggestions for improving the
game. since they run into hundreds.
| There are. however, a number OF radi-
cal changes which will come In for
actual experiment. especially those
made by Walter Camp. wherein II has
been proposed to limit the width of
the forward line TO ten yards. AT first
sight this would appear to restrict the
activities OF the players and be con.
ducive to "A return OF the old-style mass
play, which IL is the object of the rules
committee TO eliminate.
IL may be found however, that by
cooping up the players in smaller
space new plays will be evolved 10
make the necessary number of downs.
| Mr.. Camp has also suggested that the
quarterback he permitted To run with
! the ball without the fve-yard restric-
tion to right or left which now pre-
walls. He further proposes that any
forward pass made over the scrlm-
mage line be legal. and that II be
necessary to gain 10 yards in four
downs between the 25-yard lines. ten
Yards between the % and l5-yard lines
and five yards between that point and
the goal lines.
Coach Heisman. of Georgia, has
been drilling the teams along lines
suggested by Camp. and they have
made fair progress.
