Text-"For we are His workman.
ship" (poem).-Eph., H., 10.
- r
The thought of re-created man must
have been In the apostles mind as he
penned these words to the church at
Ephesus. The word workmanship"
has larger and more beautiful mean
ing than here appears, for the Greek
word (poiema), from which our Eng
lish word poem" is taken, means the
acme of artistic workmanship.
Often we use the word thus to-day,
as, in referring to architecture which
pleases because of its splendid com.
pleteness, we call 1t poem in mar
ble;" or, pleased by the sinuous grace
of the dancer, we speak of the poetry
of notion" or a poem of nature" as
the eye is refreshed with some ex-
Quisite bit Of scenery made possible
through the efforts of the landscape
gardener. Whenever the word is thus
used we understand it to mean the cul-
mination of achievement. So when
Paul described the Christian as Gods
poem" he affirmed him to be the per.
fection of Gods creative work.
AS one judges a poem, the poet. the
plan, the material used and the poem
itself are carefully considered. -et
us consider Gods poem in this man
ner. The Divine Poet appears to the
the one who has not known Him"
terrible, far away, unapproachable,
with no thought for the children OF
men save to speedily punish the trans.
gressor of His law. But to those
whom He hath called the som OF
God" He reveals Himself, loving, paIi-
ent, tender, and unto such as love Him
He becomes like as a father" In The
secret of His presence" they learn
the great love that throbs in His heart
for mankind, and that as the poet VIII

and eliminate danger. The rule makers,
In an attempt to stop the practice OF
crawling OF dragging over the ground
after a tackle. have provided a penalty for
violation OF the rule once the ball has
been declared dead. IL has been further
prescribed that the full sorimmaEe line of
seven players OF the side in possession Of
the BAH must be on the line OF scrimmage
when the bali is put in play. Further
more, interlooking interference has been
prohibited. No longer will Il be possible
for players OF the team ia possession Of
the ball to use their hands OF arms to
grasp their teammates or intcriock legs.
and thus close openings between men on
the line.
No Pushing or Falling.
As an offset to this Il Is no longer legal
for the man running with the ball to re-
ceive assistance from his teammates by
means Of pushing OF pulling during his
struggle to gain ground. These two rules
are the most drastic changes made toward
the elimination Of mass play. While, Of
course, the usual interference preceding the
runner will be allowed. the player in pos

Perhaps the most remarkable change is

rule in operation it will be necessary for

is short and concise, reading as follows:
"A player when tackling an opponent

Quarter Nay RIM.

As 1t is to aid this very move, the old
restrictions which required that a quarter
back attempting to advance the bali must
first run five yards to the right or left
before turning towards his opponents goal
has been removed. II is now possible for
any Of the four players behind the line TO
advance the ball Immediately upon receive
ing the same from the center. The identi-
cal conditions apply to any of the players
on the line of scrimmage with the excep-
ton of the two men standing on each side
Of the snapperback. The rule as adopted
by the code-m makers reads, thus:
Amy player OF the side which puts the
ball in play, except either of the men
standing on the line of scrimmage on each
side of the snapperback. who first receives
the ball when II is put in play, may carry
the bali forward beyond the line OF scrim-
mage"
To certain extent the rule alone APP
pears to dispense with many of the duties
which formerly fell to the quarterback.
This elimination of a triple handling Of the
ball should make for speed and permit OF
the development of a number of trick plays
to be put into execution Immediately fol-
lowing a lineup. The four men usually be-
hind the line can no longer be said to
consist of a quarterback. two halfbacks
and a fullback, since any one of the four
may receive the ball directly from the
center and attempt the advance without the
necessity OF the former complicated hand
ling OF the ball.

ton which requires the passer to be at
least five yards back OF the line before

The rules committee In order 10 give a
clearer understanding OF this portion Of

ton: THE legislation regarding a forward
pass shall be read over repeatedly by Of
ftcials, captains and players In order that
AZ may be thoroughly mastered. First. the
lines TO be observed should be thoroughly
borne In mind. There are two lines OF
scrimmage. one for each side. as formerly,
the line passing through the end OF the
ball A man TO be on the line OF scriu-
mage must be within one foot Of this line,
but player TO be eligible TO receive a for
ward pass must be at least one yard back
Of his own line OF serimmage, and no
one may receive forward pass who is not
thus one yard back or occupies the position
on the end Of the line OF scrimmage. There
Is another imaginary line in addition TO this
vineyard line, and that IL five yards back
OF the line OF scrimmage. No man may
make a forward pass, nor may he kick the
ball. unless he Is behind this imaginary
Vineyard line Between this line and his
scrimmase line he Is allowed 20 neither kick
nor make a forward pass. There Is stiIl
another Imaginary line. and that Is on the
