achieve annually ever since they began
their task2 Increasing both the dis
lance and the number of downs makes
it possible to get a more accurate es-
innate Of the average amount OF
ground evenly-matched teams should
be able to gain on one another. Prob
ably not one of the members of the
rules committee could make good
guess at the average distance per down
gained by evenly matched strong
teams. It appears ridiculous to ask a
man to make that guess under the pre-
vailing conditions Of the ten-yard-
three-down style Of game. The guesses
probably would range all the way from
half a yard up TO four yards.
Football. in the very nature OF the
game, is a great pastime as it stands.
But that 1t could be made Indefinitely
better by the proper slight changes is
conceded. The question then is, what
are the proper changes? The rules
committee has tried for years to find
out 1t has never changed the number
of downs This last resort that is left

instead Of three; decrease the distance

years ago allowing the three downs

there would be better teamwork.
