YALE WILL TRY NEW FOOTBALL
 RULES IN SPRING PRACTICE
 STARTING AT FIELD TODAY

l Spring football practice starts al
 Yale today, and it will be inaugurated 1 under quite different conditions than
 have ever before prevailed. In pre- | Vious years the work during March
 and April was exceedingly elementary
 No one was worked to his limit, nor 1 indeed. was any great effort made
 even to get out all the available ma
 teriaI
 l This spring the old order will give
 way to an entirely new policy. Inn l med1ateiy on the reOpening of college l after the Easter vacation, with the re-
 turn to New Haven of all the baseball men, crew squads, track men, etc.. Capt. Daily of the 1910 Varsity eleven issued his call for candidates for next falls team.
 This cali asked every man in college who was at all interested in football
 to be present on the following Satur- day night. There was an intimation, subtle yet not to be mistaken. in the
 call, which said that the man who was lazy or unwilling this spring about do- ing any hard gridiron work would
 have none too good an opportunity to make the eleven next autumn.
 As a consequence something more
 than a hundred candidates presented
 themselves last Saturday evening and
 heard a thorough discussion of the
 problems that confronted them and
 the coaches for next falls Campaign. The six new regulations adopted by
 the Intercollegiate Football Rules committee on March 26 were read to them and explained in detail, with
 blackboard diagrams. There was aI- so some talk about the two tentative, groups-one of which retains the pres ent forw ard pass and the other of which confines it to back of the at taeAing line of Scrimmage-an just what kind of a game each would prob ably make.
 When all these candidates report at Pratt Field today they will find their work well cut out for them. It will not consist. as formerly. of merely the simple formations or of centres pass ing to backs for kicks and the ends running more or less spirited4y down the field. all of them garbed in dinsy trousers will be the vogue this spring, and there will be some real line-ups, regardless of how hot the weather is.
 One thing is certain. That old bug bear. the tackling dummy. Is bound to come into very practical use, and 1t will have to be wrestled with con siderably by every member of the squad. The new rule eliminating div ing tackling-which is tantamount to saying that one foot of the tackler l must be on the ground at the moment | of tackling-demands instruction along entirely different lines than has here | tofore been the case.
 Even with hard spring practice there | Is none too much time before next fall | to inculcate the proper ways of tack | ling under this new provision, so rad I lcally different from what football | players have heretofore been beseech- ed and drilled and pounded into doing eaving their feet cleanly. Just what | penalty the rule makers are going to attach to illegal tackling is not yet Snown- But a very prominent au- ihorIty in New Haven has stated that l

a. diving tackle hereafter would prob
 ably cause the imposition of a ten
 yard penalty.
 If this is the case the abolishnent l of the flying tackle may not prove
 to De an qnmixed blessing. One i'm
 stance cited at New Haven will suffice | to explain. Under the rules that ex-
 1sted for 1909 and previous years the
 enas, TOT instance, tore down the field way that they had to anchor thern- 1 selves to something or some one to stop: The some one was always, if l possible the catcher of the kick | If, now, the ends have got to have,
 one foot on the ground at the moment
 or tackllng, there is very good chance that the catcher of the kick IS gong to get away from them. If he does he is almost as sure as death and taxes to take the ball back a good deal more than ten yards. Therefore there comes the pertinent query: Will the coaches not prefer to have their ends tackling as formerly and losing ten yards in penalty for it rather
 than take chances of long broken
 field runs by the catcher who might
 have been brought down by a flying
 tackle but who was missed under the
 new rule?
 This is one of the many phases of
 the new game which the coaches and
 players at Pratt Field are going to
 work out in the next two Or three weeks. The outside kick has, under the new rule, which forbids it's recov- cry by the attacking eleven unless or until it has traveled at least twenty yards across the attacking line Of scriTnnaage before touching the ground, some wonderful possibilities that the Yale football men are going to try to discover.
 But what they will all work with most of all-and this applies probably just as we'll to every other varsity squad now engaged in Spring prac- tice. Harvard. West Point, Annapolis, | Cornell, Pennsylvania and many others -is the forward pass and the new lateral zone con1ning the defense to | the same width taken by the attack.
 At Yale MT. Camp, Field Coach Coy, Camps suggestion with regard to this 1 lateral zone a, good stiff trying out. With it they will experiment, too, on the forward pass confined to behind | the attacking line of scrimmage, as | in Group ''A'' which will come I up at the April 29 meeting of the Rules Committee for final adoption. [
 MT. Camp said last week that he be- lieved that dropping the present for ward pass across the line of scrinlHnage would undoubtedly tend materially to lessen injuries, even of the minor sort, next Fall. He added that, with the defense confined to the breadth of the attack, there would be fecund and brilliant opportunities for strategy and tactics of high order, with tre- mendous increase in the number Of end runs and amount of open play.
 A number of prominent graduates are expected to arrive in New Haven during the coming fortnight, not only $ 10 assist in working out the new rules regulations adopted a week or so ago, put to fortify themselves against the pig problems that will be offered for solution next Fall. !.

Farrel, who is just recovering from a l severe attack of pneumonia, and who will ir short time go to the hospf- l tain of the South Ends and also of the Crane No. team champions of 1 the Industrial league. He has always been the first to respond and always offered his services in occasions of this nature in the past Iocals fans will see for the first time the new
 men whom McCann will bring here. r
 The following is from today's Hart
 ford Courant:
 "A travelling salesman whose name
 is withheld because he sells rubber boots around the circuit and does not wish to make any enemies among the trade, told reporter for ''The Cour- ant yesterday that he had kept track of what the clubs in this league were doing and he was familiar with many of the new men that had been signed. He said his observations led him to believe that two clubs only would be in the race with Hartford for the championship, Ho1yoke and Bridgeport. Although he lives in Springfield and would like to see that club up in front, the Ponies out for a place. This ex- pert believes that Manager McCann down in Bridgeport is going to have team that will be the seasons sur prise and that the Bridgeport pitch ing staff will be the equal of Hart ford's. He said that Manager Me Cam did not expect to build we'll rounded team in one season and there would be nothing wonderful about the feam's fielding but he had a staff of pitchers that would keep the club up near the top.''
 That fan is some good-but he is in wrong on that Hartford pitching staff. Without Fisher, Evans and Mccarthy of last seasons staff, the champions wi1l~find it hard work to hold it's head up this season. NfcCann has not yet completed. his pitching staff, but states on the side that the men who are yet to come are even better than the ones who have been announced.
