GATHERED ON TEIE SIDELT INES
BY Gus Malbert.

New come the Harvard and Yale
experts saying that they Will go be-
fore the football rules committee and
ask that the game be changed; that
further amendments be made, SO that
we can have a sort of reformed re-
formed football. Nothing specifically
wrong is mentioned in connection with
the present rules. The only trouble Is
apparently that twice In succession
have Yale and Harvard played tie
game
All of the trouble seems to be cen
tired In Harvard and Yale. From the
so-cailed lesser colleges no outcry L.
heard. But just because the two Zig
Institutions have been unable to go to
a decisive battle undor the present
rules they declare that there must be
q change. The thousands of football
players and enthusiasts are to have
no say in tho revision. They must sit
to one side and watch the game again
torn to pieces. very probably to re-
turn to what It was before the present
changes.
Experts Percy D. Haughton, Of Har-
ward. and G.. Foster Sanford, of Yale,
are the two men most Interested in the
proposed changes, They hold that the
value OF a field goal should be less.
ened. and that more latitude should
be given the offensive team within the
twenty-yard zone. In other words
they feel that the development Of an
expert drop kicker by an opponent is
an affront because they may not have
been fortunate enough to have caught

CHANGE is DESIRED
IN FOOTBALL RULES
Present Code Is Mt Satisfactory Either to Spec
tators or Players--Many Coaches See
Need of Revision,

New York, November 27.-When the
two big football games that were
played Saturday had passed. into his
tory the final argument was made In
the necessity for a change In the
rules The code under which the game
has been played since the great outcry
against the brutality OF tho game some
tive or six years ago has been given a
fair tryout. and it has boon demon
strated beyond doubt that the sport
is now most unsatisfactory. both to the
spectators and the players. When the
penalty was taken OF for the failure
to complete a forward pass, it was
thought that teams would be able to
take more chances, and that therefore,
the game would DO more open and
spectacular.
Results Of the season have shown,
however. that the sport has practically
reverted to the old-fashioned game,
only with the handicap of being Obliged
to make ten yards instead of five In
three downs Tho result has been that
the majority OF the teams that wero
anywhere evenly matched could do
nothing to gain ground. Tho football
loving public, therefore. has seen little
but tests OF defensive strength. which
are not the most interesting things III
the world.
Down at Carlisle this year Glenn
Warner started an innovation in train
ing TO develop Kicking among the In
dams He would take two players and,
stationing them at opposite ends of the
field, would instruct them to I. punt
against each other until the ball was
driven over the goal line. a miss of Il
catch gave the kicker an advance OF
ten yards. Kicking duels may be In
teresting enough in big games but
one of the fundamentals of the sport
calls for eleven men on each team and
If the rules are such that nine-tenths
OF the playing must be done BY kick
ing. what is the necessity for more
than one man from each college to
appear on the gridiron? 1t Is not
monotony that makes sport. and hardly
any variety has been seen on the grid
iron this year.
Attack the Thing nj First.
When the new code was young, most
OF the teams spent their time in try
