From what has been said It is safe
TO conjecture that the year will see two
distinct classes of teams, one with a
line smashing offense and the other
with an end running offense. To de-
fend successfully against these the de-
lenses will have to be altered to suit

does go much over that distance 1t Is
very unlikely that a man will be there
to receive it 2
There is no doubt that considerable
forward passing will be done, although
not as much as in past years. The play
will be retained by all teams as
means Of building up systems Of for
nation and will also be utilized a great
deal on the third down. but the third
down will not come as often as the
second down did under last years
code, and for this reason the play will
lose much Of its popularity.

limit has made possible also the elimi-

changes stated practically covers every
point that has been altered. the general
result OF these alterations has only been
considered specifically in reference to
the offense. The offense Is the easiest
department to work on this year, as II
has practically every advantage In the
way Of attack, as it had last year. the
eliminating Of the onside kick being
more than made up for by the allowing
Of four downs and the throwing out of
a limit on the forward pass. H. There

CHANGES IN FOOTBALL CODE INCREASE SCIENCE OF GAME

The throwing out Of the onsids kick
makes the game more scientific than
lucky. This Is a good move. Criticism
has been rife that football was get
ting to depend on luck more than on
science. Such q state OF Affairs has
naturally been detrimental to the
game. as sport lovers In general like
science AS II Is, there will be plenty
OF the element OF luck present. but a
poor team cannot go in now. as here
tofore. with the idea In view Of taking
long chances and getting away with
them. This year punting will be per-
fected as far as possible, and with the
field shortened the possession Of q good
punter will be a great asset. while his
work will be OF such a type that 1t will
be recognized and credit given for II
by the close students Of games.
But while the science OF punting will
be favored the science Of drop kicking
and place kicking will receive q set
back. With q touchdown and q kicked
goal counting seven points 1t win take
three field goals to get any advantage
at all after the opposing team has reg
istered q touchdown and its accom-
panying goal Consequently fewer at
tempts will be made for goals from the
field, and for the first time In years
this science viii begin to show signs
Of decline.
Outside Of the necessity Of the ten
yard zones on each end OF the field for
forward pass purposes the compelling
Of these zones fills q long felt neces-
sity. For a long time games that have
been played on small fields and in base
ball parks have been handicapped by
the goal lines being as close as three
and sometimes less yards from the
spectators. The result has been that
although a team has pushed the ball
across the goal line at point near the
side lines II has often been hindered
In carrying II behind the posts, and as
q result the attainment OF the extra
point has been made more difficult In
juries have also resulted from contact
o. the rushers with fences or the spec
tators, so that this zone at each end of
the field win work to more advantage
than one. 1923
