A meeting of the football rules CON
mtttee Will be held in New York this
week. Many changes arc suggested,
yet II seeing that few Will be made.
GU, OF the flood OF suggestions that
have been made and out OF tho vast
cry which has sonc forth against the

changes so radical that a return 10
the old game Will be the practical re-
suit Even Walter Camp. ono of tho
most persistent men Interested in the
game for modification Of the old
samo, has been won over to sceksnu
changes.
Just two things need chtusicg in
the rules as they stand, ASIA. from
charming UP u few antiquities and
making more dahints penalties and
these two things are in regard to the
forward pass and the onsidc kick. All
restrictions should be removed from
these plays, that Is. If the forward
pass is to remain. 1t would not be :,
bad idea to eliminate tho forward pass
10 increase the number OF downs or
to decrease the distance gained, would
Dc 10 come back TO just where we
started before the reformation
Changes now should be not toward
making possible Il recurrence of CON
ditlons which existed Il few years ago
and which made the game almost un-
ihtcilSlple to the laymcn, buI toward
making inc game even more open, il
possiple' and more understandable, for
~ 10 10 the public that the game must
look Tor its continuance.
AS pointed out by many writer's, the
rules are not nearly so much AT fault
as arc the coaches who INSIST upon
ioilow!ng old lines instead OF lorn:ine,
their attack and defense nion. the
nhcs made possible by the new rules.
Al! OF the smaller colleges have taken

BASE BALL AS IT USED TO BE AND AS IT'S PLAYED TODAY,
TOLD JOHNNY WARD FAMOUS CAPTAIN OF OLD GIANTS

THE pitchers in base ball today have
several advantages over the men who
twirled In the old days When fouls didn't
count at all 1t was tough on the pitchers,
because the batsmen could stand and
pound away until the man in the box
became exhausted. But today, with the
first two fouls counting a strike. it's the
batsmen who get the rough end of It,"
So said Johnny Ward, the best short
stop New York ever had" as he spun
about in his big, comfortable swivel
chair and slapped at stray fly, but not
with the same old sure aim with which
he so often walloped the ball in the old
days
When Johnny Ward talks on base ball
it's time for every one so fortunate as
to be within hearing distance to drop
whatever he may edoing and bend his
ears to what he's saying. For Ward, now
a most successful lawyer and golf player,
has not abandoned his interest in the
great national game, and it is doubtful
that another of the 'inactives'' can dis
cuss base ball with the same clear in
sight Ward displays.
Was Up to the Pitchers in the Old
lays.
Il remember many occa sions when the
man at bat has fouled five or six times
in the old days-and I've seen tired
pitchers grit their teeth and keep on
putting EN- over. Today when a bat
ter has two strikes marked up against
him on fouls he becomes overanxious
to connect with the ball in order to
keep from being struck out. There's
nothing in the world a ball player dis
likes a S much as to be put out without
having chance to swing on the ball,
and the pitcher takes advantage Of the
fact by putting the ball either round
the players neck Or just outside the
corner Of the plate says Ward.
Another advantage the pitchers now
have is being mounted up in the air on
a mound. They throw from an elevation
and the ball shoots downward as it ap-
proaches the batter
Did you ever delye into the mysteries
of the spitbsll?'' asked Johnny cit seems
queer to call a dfgnifed lawyer by his
first name, but when you talk with Ward
you are bound to fall into the ways Of an
enthusiast: and they all call athletes by
their first names).
NO? Well. I've studied 1t out because
its this only new thing In the pitching
line. The splitter is thrown just the same
twist to it. 4 straight ball or a curve is
necessarily thrown with a twist that
makes it reyolve rapidly and maintains
the halls center of gravity. That's why
straight and curve halls can be thrown
with absolute accuracy. But the splitter,
