Forward Pass Under Hammer.

The work yesterday was largely dag
nosis OF the game To determine just what
were the dangerous elements 10 be elimi-
mated No suggestions were considered
for changing the rules.
There is a possibility that the two-day
session may only result in a cleaning
away of The dead wood and that another
meeting may he called in tine near future
after the committee has had time to thor
oughly consider the various suggestions
made now, and that at that time the new
rules will be adopted.
The failure 10 use the more open and
safer forward pass. because when il is not
caught the side executing the play loses
fifteen yards. has made many teams
choose the more dangerous mass plays to
gain ground. To encourage open play it
has been suggested To abolish this penalty
and grounded forward pass merely
to bring the ball back to where 1t stood
as the play was attempted. IL Is also
suggested in case of fumbled for
ward pass. which the present rules allow
only an opponent or the man who FUN
bied 10 recover, that any player be al
lowed to recover IL.

Lieut.. Hackett Gives Views.

Lieut. Hackett Of West Point, one of
the members Of the committee, voiced
The attitude Of the army as well as the
sentatives III speaking about these
Changes
The danger Of the open game was
plainly apparent last year" said Lieut..
IIackett. 1t stands TO reason that the
sharp impact of the runner and tackler
in the open field is more dangerous to-
both than the slower force of line plays.
.lost of the serious accidents last season
were que to open play. The one serious
accident in the Yale Harvard game was
on the kickoff, when Lilley of Yale
was thrown by the Harvard tacklers and
so badly hurt that he had to be carried
from the field. Wilson of the Navy also
Was hurt i'll this open style of play.
The drawing out of the halfbacI, in
the open style of play was indirectly
responsible tor the death of Byrne of
the Army Under the old rules the half
back and the tackle worked together for
each others protection. As the rules
stand now the halfback is often out to
The end of the line to increase the eff
hciency of the forward pass because he
can get down the field to receive the ball.
This leaves the tackle unprotected and
open to the charging forwards of the
defense.
. 1T vas just this style of PLAY that
.smothered Byrne and resulted in his
death. To do away with this the West
Point suggestion is IL prohibit forward
passing except back of the line of scrm-
mage-that is. the man carrying the ball
cannot make the forward pass after he
has run past the line. This rule always
has been. in my opinion, foreign to the
American game.

Old Officers Are Reelected.

The morning session began with the
organization of the two committees. The
original committee known as the ma
uonal rules committee went through the
formality of admitting the representatives
of the intercollegiate Athletic Associa-
ton. Four members of this original COM
mittee are already represented i'm the lat
ter-Pennsylvania, Harvard, Annapolis
and Chicago.
The old officers were reelected AS n
matter of fact, although the old com
mittee has the prestige of longer ex-
lstence the new body is more representa-
tive than the old. Its members are
chosen by districts from all parts of the
country, while the old committee is rep

MAY RETURN TO OLD
STYLE Of FOOT BALL
Rule Committee in Session in
New York Hears Many Sug-
qestions for Changes.

NEW YORK, February THAT there
is q strong tendency to return to the old
closed game of foot ball was apparent
at the opening session of the rules COM
mittee and the affiliated body of the In
terCollegiate Athletic Association of the
United States at the Hotel Cumberland
here yesterday.
Prof l.. NJ. Dennis OF Cornell. chair
man Of the committee, stated before the
meeting that radical changes probably
would he made in the rules to meet the
demands of the many colleges.
The sentiment that the open play
brought about by change in the rules
four years ago tended to make the game
more dangerous to the players is strong
among many of the fourteen members of
the committee. and II is likely that when
The changes of the rules are announced
those rules will be abolished or modified.
This will mean that the forward pass
either will be abolished altogether or so
changed a TO make it undesirable ex
cept in p few instances during a game.
There is also a sentiment that the kick
off be changed or greater protection
given the runner in the open field.

Platte River
Towns Prepare
to Combat Ice
Dynamite Sent to North Bend, Where
Conditions Are Declared to
Be Alarming.

FREMONT, Neb Feb. 5.-(Special Tele-
gram. Preparations are being hastily
made along the Platte river to combat high
water when the river begins breaking up.
which will happen in few days If the
weather continues warm.
Report of a gorge at North Bend, ap-
parently are overdrawn, though the con-
ditions are such that when the break up
comes there will undoubtedly be trouble
of a serious nature. The ice there is re-
ported thirty Inches thick and 1t is feared
that when the ioe begins to move a gorge
will be formed at the head of the island
opposite the southern part Of town. AT the
request of North Bend residents, 200 pounds
of dynamite was sent there from here
and It will be used to keep a clear water
channel around this island. In case gorge
should form there the back water would
probably flood the lower part of town,
which is protected only by the low Union
Pacific grade
The unusual thickness of the ice is
causing alarm all along the river. Here at
Fremont quality of dynamite is kept in
readiness to be used in keeping clear the
channel under the railroad and wagon
bridges. The floods are expected to start
as soon as soon as the Loup breaks up and
begins to pour its ice into the Platte al
Columbus.
At Union Pacific offices here it was said
no news had been received as to the con
ditlon of the ice at Columbus, where tn,
company is putting in new bridge. Thi
is taken to indicate conditions as normal
as the railroad authorities have been keep
ing close watch on the river there.
