Game Is Better For Changes,
but Rules are Not Yet
Just Right i

THE new football rules have been
pretty thoroughly tried here and
there. and there Is little doubt that
they are a great Improvement over the
old, though still far from being all
that could DO desired. There have been
a good many injuries this fall. but not
so many nor so serton- o5 those OF q
year ago.
This year football Is more Liable to
criticism than ever before. Not only
has IT the chronic opponents TO contend
with, but also q goodiy portion of those
who in years gone by have been Its
friends. Half OF the rules committee
was mona too enthusiastic over the
changes wrought In the game. Some
wanted to go back to the old army
game, while others wanted to take
more radical steps In opening 1t up.
The rule prohibiting all pushing or
pulling of the man with the bali was
probably the best bit Of legislation ever
done by the football rules committee.
For a there had been attempts to
rulo out the deadly a play by
formative legislation, but the coaches
had always s~urnaounted the obstacles
placed in their path, and last year
there was almost as much mass play
as there was ten years before This
season heavy mass plays are impossi-
Bile II the rules are enforced. This in
itself is = big step In the right dirsc-
ton. This rule prohibiting the flying
tackle La also proving a success. - is
that requiring seven men to be on the
line Of scrfmnags on the ofense.
Cnsjds Kick and Forward Pass.
The forward pass and the onstde kick
are now hybrid affairs. The pass was
opened up by permitting the bail to
cross the line of scrirnmage at any
point instead of requiring 1t to- 20 at
least FIVE yards to one side OF the CEN
ter and by the rule protecting the man
going down the field to receive the pass
from all attack These advantages
have been counteracted by the rule re-
During the man who makes the pass
to be at least five yards behind the line
of scrimmage. This to q large extent
takes away the possibility for decep-
ton on the play. and it is doubtful
whether 1t is any more VALUABLE this
year than formerly. Last res the
committee was divided as to he ad-
visibility of retaining the pass in the
BdIIlSs anu Lio PicoOhb ioto Sohio 10 q
ninth hour makeshift to avoid q dead
lock. Under these circumstances there
is small room for surprise In the fact
thai the forward pass rules are not
proving entirely satisfactory. The pass
will ethics be made more practicable
before another season mas passed or Il
will be further restricted.
As for the onside kick, the rules com
mittea seems to have put barrier
around what had come to be regarded
as one Of the finest features of football
The rule requiring q kick to be mad'
from a point # least five yards behint
the line of sofimmage and requiring 1
to travel at least twenty yards befor'
the members of the kioker's team be
come onside has largely limited its Of
~fectiveness.

adapting themselves to the new cend,
ton rather well.
Where should the umpire stand In
order to be able to fulfill the duties of
his position in the best way POSSIBLE?
This is a question that comes IL for
argument every time officials meet to
discuss the new code. Under the old
rules the umpire stood on the line Of
scrimmage to keep q careful lookout
for offsids plays and holding. Under
this years tangle the umpire's duties
are double those of last year. Along
with the ofside plays and holding he
has Jurisdiction over the twenty ward
neutral zone on kicks and forward
passes. The umpire cannot hold to he
old "on the line OF scrimmage' position
and take car of his numerous duties,
And no matter where he stands he IL
going to miss q lot of them.
Eastern officials say the umpire
should stand back OF the team playing

LIVE Z, aes29 TIPS

It's hard luck that we haven't any
representative football team In this
city. In former years We had such
teams as the Perth Amboy Field
Club, The Riversides, Young Mems
Forum, etc, but now nothing doing
at all. Even the high school turned
down the game. A good game of
football on Thanksgiving Day every
.yas was something to be looked for
ward to, but the prospects are slim
for any kind of a battle next Thurs
day.
Some schedule has been prepared
for the high school basketball team.
They may have to go some to down
the schools, but as near as Bosco
can learn, the local five are in good
shape and will have little trouble in
scoring victories.
Experts say that kicking is the
most essential part OF a football
game this year. Well, who ever saw
a football game In which Kicking"
and arguing weren't the principal
features,
Sayreville. is .4 showing genuine
sporting interest. The upper section
plays the lower section a game of
pool for the championship. The up
per part won and are Just a bit proud
over it, too.

the victory ia greater when you beat

yards. He has to move fast, too, to be

The tackling has been pretty good to
late in spite of the prohibited diving
tackle. Keeping one foot on the ground
hasn't prevented the making Of a good
many hard and sure tackles. In the
early games there was tendency to
tackle high. but later battles found the
players getting more accustomed to
nabbing an opponent with one foot on
terra 1rma. and lower tackling was
seen. AS q matter of fact, there were
fewer flying tackles under h old
rules than was generally believed.
High tackling with one foot on the
ground us very likely to prove ineffi-
cient, not allowing of a secure grip and
the tackler's hands and arms slipping
down and away from the person of the
man tackled. The players seem to be

the two most Objectionable features Of
the new rules are the division OF the
game into periods and the privilege of
putting a man back in the game who
has once been removed for my cause
save disqualification. The objection to
toe first rule lies in the fact that 1t
seems to break up the game Just when
the players are getting into the swing
Of 1t. OF course this is a selfish objec-
ton IN the part Of the spectators,
based on the fact that they want &C
ton all the time and should not be re-
garded by the rule makers II the rule
IL of material benefit to the players.
Here 10 One Good Change In Rules.
The reason for the rule permitting a
man to be taken from the game in one
period and put back in a succeeding
one was that 1t was thought that under
these conditions a coach would be
quicker to take a player from the game

when injured instead of leaving him in
when UNIT to play in the hope that he
might recuperate and soon be Of value
to the team again. The rule is bene-
fetal in this regard beyond doubt, but
1t is subject to objections on other
grounds. Now when a player is taken
from the game instead of being sent to
the warm dressing room he is kept on
the side lines IN the * ectation that
he may be used again. and while there
in the chill air he is in danger of catch
ing cold, which may lead to any Illness.
Another objection lies IN the fact that
The coaches are enabled to practically
run the team by the use of substitutes.
There is a rule prohibiting coaching
rom the side lines. but 1t has always
cen the custom of coaches to send in
distractions to the players a

on the whole there is little doubt thai
the game of football is a far safer ont
