CHANGING RULES
KILLS INTEREST
Walter Eckersall Believes That Annual Alterations in

ward passes to be completed behind
the goal line. The result of this rul-
ing easily can be seen. The defense
Is sure to be weakened, because the
opposing eleven must play at least
two men back of the goal to inter-
cept any passes. 1t Is a well-known
fact that as team approaches an op-
ponent's goal lines the secondary de-
fense gradually is pulled up to re-en-
force the forward line. Consequently
the offensive team has two lines of
defense to penetrate, which is ex-
tremely hard when the fact is taken
into consideration that the man with
the ball cannot be either pushed or
pulled. This is a mighty good rule, and
should result in more scores being
made by legitimate football.
The abolition of the field judge is a
good move. TOO much officiating"
was the criticism offered many times
after contests when the officials had
become mixed in their rulings, and
this was especially true when some
official was too eager to call penal
ties. Hereafter = the head hnesman
will keep time and assist the umpire
and referee in watching other things
which it had come under the duties
of field judge to look after.
The intermissions between the first
and second and third and fourth quar-
ters have been shortened from two
minutes to one. A few other minor
changes have been made, but In gen.
eraI the changes are simple and will
enable the average followers of the
college game to get a better under
standing of the playing of the teams
In the different contests.
The majority of the coaches in the
central West with whom l have dis
cussed the rules are we'll pleased with
the present code, and it is my opinion
that football again will be placed up
on the basis which II occupied before
1906 If present rules are allowed to
stand.

Football is complicated, and unless a
