NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
Small Field lmportant-Four Downs ia
Gain Critical Move,

small Field Important-Four Downs IA
Gain Critical Move.
Walter Camp, secretary of the foot.
ball rules committee, thinks that tho
game this season will be better ono
safety and lively competition both con.
sidered, than ever before. He reviews
the changes OF the new rules as fol
lows:
"The rules for the season of 1919
include two very important changes
One of these, relating to the field staff
itself, is extremely radical in that for
the first time since the introduction
OF the game into this country there
is an alteration in the dimensions of
the playing surface, or gridiron, as it
has been called. Since the introduce
ton in 1876 the field has been 800 feet
in length, 100 feet in width, but for
the season of 1912 the entire field is to
be $50 feet in length, but the playing
surface, that is the field, which is
usually known as the field of play, will
be only 800 feet in length
"At each end is a 3O-foot zone be-
hind the goal posts and behind the goal
line where the forward pass is legal.
"The other most important change
is allowing four downs in which to
gain the necessary 10 yards instead of
three, as formerly.
"The rest of the alterations are of
less Importance.
"The number of privileged coaches
who may walk up and down the side
lines, reduced last year to three, has
now been reduced to one.
"The intermissions between the first
and second and third and fourth
periods have also been again short
ened, the time elapsing being now only
one minute.
"The forward pass, which was re-
stricted to 20 yards, may now be
thrown any distance.
"The on-side kick has been cut out:
that is, the men of the kicker's side
who are off the side are not put on
side by the ball touching the ground.
THE field judge has been dispensed
with, and the game is left in the hands
of three instead of four officials.
"A rule has been passed that If a
kicked ball strikes the ground before
going over the goal 1t may not score
a goal.
THE limit Of the kick-out, instead
of being the 25-yard line, as formerly,
is now the 20-yard line
"The 20-yard neutral zone, the bane
OF officials and players, has been
abolished"
The football rules of 1912, as laid
down by the intercollegiate football
rules committee, stood practically un-
changed when the central board of
football officials completed delibera-
lions in New York last week.
