RULES DISCUSSED

Chicago, September 17-(Special.)- Fif-
ty football coaches and officials, repre-
senting the principal schools of the big
Eight and Missouri valley conferences,
met this morning and afternoon to dis
cuss the interpretations of several rules
which appear vague and ambiguous.
The purpose of the meeting was to set
tie upon a strict construction of the rules
and adopt a uniform Interpretation for
western schools Coach Stagg of the
University of Chicago presided at the
morning session and Coach Harry Will
liams of the University of Minnesota
was in the chair in the afternoon. AL
most every school was represented by
two or more coaches or members of the
faculty.
The forward pass rule was the one most
widely discussed, that clause concerning
the passing of the ball from a point
five yards back of the line of scrim-
mage being given the most attention. In
case of a forward pass it was decided
that the ball should not be considered in
possession of either side unless in the
actual grasp of a player. No penalty of
any nature shall be inflicted for a vio-
lation of the forward pass rule until the
ball actually leaves the hands of the
passer.
Another important rule upon which a
strict construction was placed was the
manner in which a forward pass shall
be made 1t was decided that the pass
must be made from a point five yards
back of the line of scrimmage. The ball
cannot go more than 20 yards beyond
the line, but need not cross the line of
scrimmage.
more definite wording of the rule
concerning the flying tackle also was
adopted. 1t was decided that a man
who throws himself under an offensive
play shall not be considered as making
a diving tackle, but the player who
throws himself against an unprotected
player in the open Is making diving
tackle in direct violation of the rules.
The rule concerning the dead ball also
came under consideration.
D This was supposed to imply that the
player is not permitted to stretch his
arms forward when in possession of the
ball If he is in the grasp of an opponent.
In regard to the rule concerning inter-
locked interference, it was decided tenn
may touch a player of his own side who
ma ytouch a player of his own SIDE VINO
interferes with him.
Prof. A. G. Smith of the University of
Iowa was selected as the western repre-
sentative to confer with the eastern
members of the rules committee concern
ing the adopted construction of the rules
considered. The code will stand as re-
vised until report from the eastern
football solons is received.
