RULES CHANGE
STYLE OF PLAY
Alterations in Football More In
portant Than First Thought

New York, Feb. 25.-Although it has
been announced that football next fall
will he practically the same as last
year, there is one important change in
the rules, made at the final session OF
the committee.
The committee decided To revise a
part of the restrictions relating to in
reference on plays which involve the
use of the forward pass. This coming
fail on forward passes as well as on
kicks men on the defensive team may
block Oft and interfere with the Of
tensvc players until such time as the
forward pass actually is made.
Last year the rules provided that
there could be no interference except
ON the line of scrimmage in any play
which developed the forward pass, the
defense thus having to wait until a
run or a kick was assured before do
iug any down the field blocking off.
The five yard restriction on kicks
also has been revised. This il is be-
loycd by the football clinic will serve
stll further to dissemble the defense
and thereby strengthen the offense.
The new rule allowing interference by
the defensive players until a forward
pass actually is made is calculated to
help the defense enough to offset some
of the handicaps of the new kicking
rule. Whether the attacking team as
well as the defensive team may inter
fcrc next fall until the ball Is passed
forward is Il matter that has been left
with the special committee which will
codify the 1913 rules.
The penalty for pushing the ball for
ward after it has been declared dead
was eliminated by the committee, the
opinion being that the penalty was toI
severe for an olfense which would
avail no ground if the referee were
alert. The penalty originally was
specified so that If injury of the play
or carrying the ball the individual and
NOT the PLAYING rules of the game
could he held at fault.
Another slight change regarding the
right of doctors and trainers To 10
out on the field in case of injury to
players was made.
Mr. Langford, who has acted as ref
cree at most of the important football
games in the east in recent years has
been unanimously appointed mem
Der At large of the board Of football
rule makers.
Langford and the other members Of
the codifying committee will work out
all the details of the rules for 1914 anu
publish them not later than June !.

WHY NOT HAVE SEPTEMBER BASEBALL CLASSIC?

Southern climate would easily favor
a month more of play.
But that is wisely designed sea-
son, and the Big Leagues would gain
much In convenience, il they lost
somewhat in dollars, by adopting a
similar schedule.
A Nd then look at the advantage of
= having all the latter part of Sep
TENDER to settle the argument of
Worlds Championship.
A 15-game series-even a 20-game
series-coulI be played comfortably,
and there could be an arrangement
for pro-rating part of the enormous
proceeds from the games to make up
the other and less fortunate teams
in the two leagues for the enrichment
Of the playing season.
The players would get more money,
the clubs would get more me hey, the
public would see a fairer and more
extended classiC-and the better team
almost nevitably would win.
MYTH fifteen or twenty games to
go, no Bender-no Walter John
son, even-could he groomed and fit

The regular pitching staff of four
or three. at the least-must be sent
TO the hill to work out its own sal
walton. and to win or lose by its true
seasonal value. Old Friend-Or Enc
my-Luck would have a chance to
kick in on both sides Of the arGu-
ment. and the result would, in most
case, leave a champion untainted with
any smear OF fortune, good or bad
It would be SOME Worlds Series.

over the present arrangement.
A carper's JOB, like policeman's, is
not a joyous one.

little distinction and advantage
