Football Editor, The Argus: What
are the changes in the rules this year?
last years rules until the new guides
come?
FRANK ANDERSON.
There are many changes in the
rules but only two really drastic ones
These two are the addition of one
down to the number of trials in which
a team has to advance the ball 10
yards, the permitting of forward
passes going over the goal line. Most
of the other changes hinge on these
two. You can start practice at once
but get a guide as soon as possible
and study the other changes.

the man who holds the ball for a
goal kick after a touchdown, have tc
let it touch the ground? Would il

without having been touched to the

A try at goal must be made from

CAMP EXPLAINS
FOOTBALL RULES
Eastern Coaches and Players
Hear Committees Secretary
Give interpretations.

New York. Sept. 24.-The football
rules of 1912. as laid down by the in
tercollegiate football rules committee,
stood practically unchanged when the
central board OF football officials com
pleted deliberations here last night.
The officials sent together with foot
ball managers, coaches and captains
from schools and colleges from all
parts Of the east met to hear the new
rules interpreted by Walter Camp, sec
Rotary OF the rules committee, and 10
offer suggestions. The longest discus
sion WAS that over the rule which pro
vides that "a kick other than a kick
of, free kick or return kick, must
be made from a point at least FIVE
yards behind the line Of scrimmage."
Mr.. Camp held that the rule must
be interpreted literally, ahd that 1t
aid not mean that ball fumbled on
& kick by the offensive side could be
kicked by the defensive side from be-
hind it's line OF scrimmage.
"A kicked ball cannot be kicked
again except as a return kick OF a ball
going over a line OF scrimmage," said
Mr.. Camp. otherwise on a fumbled
kick a defensive payer could kick
the ball down the field, which the
rule was intended 20 prevent.
The rule. interpreted in this literal
manner. also prevents man trying

Other interpretations laid down by
Air Camp we're that the center can

that a bali dOwued against "a gOai post

New York, Sept. 24.-Mike Gibbons,
middleweight, who has claims to the
throne, danced through a ten-round
session at the Madison Square Garden
last night with one Tommy Maloney,
who used to be known here as the
rewsboy wonder. In those days he
was a bantam, but last night he had
sprouted out into a fine broth of a
boy of 1914 pounds, while Michael
himself had come from the welters to
the class above with a tonnage of 1874.
Gibbons must have had a quiet talk
with the sheriff, who sat at the ring
side, for he did nothing that might
have verged on the brutal, or else he
needed the threat of gallery god that
he would be arrested for cruelty to
children if he chastised Tommy too
hard.

that the critical age for every woman
