FOOTBALL EXPERTS CALL
FOR STILL ANOTHER BIG
REVISION OF THE RULES
Demand For Greater Laxity For
Rushing Ball Inside
20-Yard Lines.
r U L ES UNSATISFACTORY.
Big Eastern Games Cited To
Show lmpossibility of Scoring
on Straight Football.
R ULES UNSATISFACTORY.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-With the
football season practically ended.
coaches and players alike today are
joining in demand for revision or
the rules.
The 1911 rules have proven wholly
unsatisfactory to players.
They say the teams have all been
built around one mantle kicker. The
duties OF the linemen and backs, they
say. have been merely to keep the
kicker safe.
There is TO be a demand for greater
laxity Tor rushing the ball inside the
2O-yard lines. Teams with good de-
tense have frightened up when their
own goals were endangered and il has
proven almst impossible to score
touchdowns on straight football. They
instance that In the Harvard Prince
ton, the Yale-Princeton and the Yale
Harvard game. only one touchdown
was scored on straight rush through
the ine-when Wendell took the bail
over Princetons goal.
There Is a growing sentiment for a
reduction of the distance to be gained
inside the 20-yard zone, from 10 to
five yards. This. players believe,
would permit a team 10 score on line
PUSHES, instead Of attempting a drop
kick every time the ball was worked
close to an opponents goal.
Other experts demand that the dis.
lance TO be gained in rushes be re.
duced from 10 TO eight yards The
averages. this year. they say. show
that this distance can be gained by
good team, but thd the 10-yard gain
is impossible in three rushes against
a strong defense.
