new FOOTBALL RULES should
MAKE MORE INTERESTING GAME

That the radical changes which
have been made in the football rules
will result in much more interest
ing game, not only from the view
point of the spectator but also the
player, is the opinion Of Honolulu
players and coaches who have stud
led these changes as adopted at the
session of the football rules commit
tee in New York with but one or two
minor exceptions, the changes were
all made with n view to increasing
the offensive strength of team. and
II is confidently expected that this has
been accomplished.
The chief changes are as follows:
Reduction of the playing field from
10 yards to 100.
Four downs in which to gain 10
yards.
Adjustment of the onside kick.
Adjustment of the 2O-yard zone for
the forward pass.
Forward pass may cross goal line
for u distance of 10 yards.
Kickoff at beginning of halves from
offenses 4O-yard line.
Loser of toss entitled to same priyi-
leges at beginning of second half as
winner at opening of game.
Ball is put in play on 20-yard line
after touchback.
Adjustment of field Judge
Touchdown & points.
One representative only on side
lines.
Dropkick touching ground and
bounding over goal posts not allowed,
Time between first and second and
third and fourth periods one minute
! Before the meetings were held II
was generally expected that the for
ward pass and Onside kick would re-
ccive the most attention and this prov
cd to be the case. That the onsidC
kick Ia abolished comes with little
surprise, az during the time that II
has been In existence II has been used
with but little success and has been
! In the nature of "nuke" play.
! The changes made in the forward
pass should certainly make II greater
ground-gaining play than ever before
/ The fact thai II can go for 10 yards
beyond the goal line of the deicnsiv,
team will tend to open the deiens,
when inside Of its 25-yard line an'
mot only make the pass available. bu
also increase the strength of the rush
