Walter Camp Explains Rules
for Current Football Year

going over the line of scrimmage,"
said Mr.. Camp; otherwise on a
fumbled kick a defensive player could
kick the ball down the field, which
the rule was intended to prevent. The
rule interpreted in this literal manner
also prevents a man trying to kick a
ball as another player falls on it,
Other interpretations laid down by
Mr.. Camp were that the centre
cannot snap the ball to himself and
run with it; that If a kicked ball hits
an onside man., then hits the goa
post and bounds back, it is a free
ball, and hat a ball downed against
a goal post is not a touchdown.
The rule which prevents guards.
centres or tackles from dropping back
of the line on the offensive, unless
for Ave yards or more, did not mean.
Mr.. Camp said, that on the defensive
these men could not be replaced by
halfbaAks.
The rule vas intended to keep
heavy men from being used back of
the line on offensive play" he said,
but there is no reason why on the
defensive a light halfback should not
be put in the line In place of a heavy
man. If the captain wishes to do

Billy Zimmerman never knew how
popular he is or how many friends he
has until the star left-fielder broke
his fbula bone of his right ankle IN
sliding into the plate on Saturday.
When it was reported that his future
as a diamond star might be wrecked
by the accident he received many
messages OF sympathy, but 1t Is not
expected to prove as serious as was
at first feared. though he will be laid
up for six or eight weeks,
Zimmerman has twice been af1ict-
ed with hard luck this season. Earlier
in the year he was out of the game
for a long time with a twisted ankle
sustained in sliding to second base
in a game. This hampered his work
and in q measure was responsible for
his failure to lead the league in oas,
stealing. After returning To the game
as a regular Zimmerman was hit on
the left side of the head by Pitcher
Covinyton in Providence. He ex-

NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-The foot

intercollegiate football rules commit

when the central board of footbali
officials completed deliberations here.
The officials, together with football
coaches and captains from
schools and colleges from all parts
If the East, met to hear the new rules
interpreted by Walter Camp. secre-
tary of the rules committee, and to
offer suggestions.
THE longest discussion was thai
over the rule which provides That "a
kick other than a kickoff, a free KICK
or return kick must be made from a
point at least five yards behind the
of scrimmage."
: Mr.. Camp held that the rule must

The crowd looked on in Wonderment.
Turning TO the stands Schaefer asked:
Ladies and gentlemen, did you
| come to see the ball game or me?"
Almost in unison the crowd shouted,
''Schaefer.' So what could the UNI
pire do?
Later in the game some fan who
desired to take a little of the ginger
out of Schaefer, asked: when do you
intend to play and try to earn your
salary"
"Grifith is saving me for the world $

fore the fan finished his question.

You must be crazy when you will
do that stuff to get the money"
Sure. I'm crazy,' answered Her
man. Those fellows who make a Nv
ing driving automobiles and motor
cycles 90 miles an hour are wise"
Schaefer's predictions are uncanny.
Prior TO a game in Cleveland, he an
nounced the Nationals would win 4 TO

hat after Moeller got two strikes
he would knock the bali over the

These are a few of the things Her
