Some of the women members Of the

GUS of keeping up the enthusiasm
which the club has created during
the season, concluded to give a dance

SOME VERY ROUGH
TREATMENT
Present Indications Point To
Radical Revision of the Rules
in the Next Three or
Four Days.
Sentiment Favors Elimination Of
Penalty for Incomplete Forward,
Except on Third Down.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--That the ma
tioaal football rules committee is go
ing thoroughly 70 rehabilitate football
I'm the good graces OF American col
leges Is Indicated by the thoroughnesS
with which the committee Is golhs
over the present rules in their efforts
10 revise them SO that future accF
dents will be minimiZed or entirely
eliminated. The rules committee met
here yesterday morning and is sun III
session. with the chances bright tha'
IL will be three or four days before
the 1910 rules will have been com
pieted.
Fridays session was devoted TO a
thorough discussion OF the causes
which led up 10 the number OF fatal
accidents OF 1909 and the various rem
edies that have been proposed by foot
ball men ali over the country.
II is believed from todays talk that
the rules regarding the forward pass
will be radically amended, 80 as 10
remove the penalty for failure on the
| first and second down. There also
are many strong advocates OF chang
| ing the number Of yards TO be gained
on downs. Another rule which seems
sure OF passage is one preventing a
man running with the ball from run
ming. crawling. and making an enort
/ 10 go forward when he has been
/ thrown. and will prevent his team
mates from dragging or pulling him.
The codifed rules under which foot

will probably not be adopted before

national football rules committee, now
/ in session here.
The football men are going deep into
( the cause which led 10 so many fatal
accidents on the gTidiron during the
playing season OF 1909 and are endeay-
oring TO formulate the rules for 1919
so these accidents viii be minimized.
The prospects are that tentative
rules will be drawn up at this confer
