to Master New Official
Rules.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s-The official
football guide for 1911, issued today,
contains many changes, and aspiring
candidates will have to put in consfd-
cradle time mastering the letter and
spirit Of the new rules. The intermIs-
sion between the first and second and
third and fourth periods is shortened,
barely allowing time to transfer the
ball, when it is put into play imme-
diately
A new ruling appea-s on the forward
pass. Formerly the penalty OF an In
completed forward pass was measured
from the spot at which the pass was
made, usually six or seven yards be-
hind the scrfmmage line The new rule
measures from the spot Of the pre-
ceding down"
