INSISTS RULE CHANGES
ARE SOLELY FOR YALES GAIN

PRINCETON, Feb. 17.-The Prince
ton Alumni Weekly, the official organ
of the graduates of Princeton Univer-
sity. has come out in no uncertain
terms against the recent revision Of
the football rules in the current issue.
bill" Roper, head coach of the Tiger
football team last fall. some days ago
described the changes as having been
particularly constructed for a Yale
team. The placing of greater advan-
tage than formerly with the offense is
regarded as a serious handicap to the
type of football offered by Princeton
to Harvard and Yale games last fall.
which vas decidedly offensive. AL
though defensive. this system was re-
garded by the coaches to be as prac-
teal as the offensive style and as like
ly to win, as it SO proved.
The Alumni Weekly says: with the
exception of the abolition of the on
side kick, the changes in the foot
ball rules. it is announced. are made
for the purpose of weakening the de-
Tense and strengthening the attack.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-02-17

There seems to be no doubt that they
will accomplish this purpose.
The addition of another down is, in
effect, reactionary legislation, because
it will encourage continuous rushing
and make possession of the ball Of
greater value. With only an average
of two M a half yards to be gained
to retain the ball, we may expect . re-
turn of the old marches down the aeld
with much less kicking.
However, the COMMITTEES wiesk'
guarded against the return Of makb
play by retaining the rule against help
ing the runner. The increase in the
value of the touchdown is, in our opin-
ion, bad legislation. The depreciation
of the field goal had already rome far
enough, IL not too far.
1T Is to be remembered that all
touchdowns are by no means the result
