TIME experience of the Loyal Pub
lie with the rules of the great
American mess Of college foot
bail has been much the same as its
experience with tariff revision down
ward-it takes a long time to get
real results.
About steen years asO We were
confronted with the choice of throw
ing out wings on the leading hos
pitals or setting to work on the foot
ball rules The latter seemed simpler
and less expensive 50 an effort was
made in that direction. As matter
Of fact, a number Of efforts nave
been made in that direction, but to
the present time the, rules have
been revised much as the tariff was
handled by those celebrated two
handed little revisers, Messrs. Payne
and Aldrich.
The earnest request Tor loosen
ing up of the football game of our
college children arises from two
sources. Time was when tenderly
nurtured girls were lured out to see
a game" and were let in for a com
bination of Clusters Last Charge and
a busy day in Kishineff. Then, in
the interest of keeping alive what
might be made a good game, 1t be-
came apparent TO the densest that
the game would have to be made
more open.
a BOUT six years ago they start
"a ed in on this tack and so far
they have made no progress
visible to the unaided vision. Rules
have been made requiring greater
gain Of distance on given number
Of plays in the hope that this would
lead to more running. but at the
same time no inducements were en-
bodied in the rules that would make
open running attractive as a ground
gaining medium. The result was
tiresome kicking duels.
Then the wise men of the game
adopted the forward pass" than
which no weirder play was ever
evolved. The forward pass in itself
Is sort Of violation of the princi-
pies of all games where the object
is to advance ball across a field.
Out with the aim of opening up
American football it would have been
more than defensible if the trainers
Of the rules had been on the level
with it. As it Is they have so hedged
this play about with technicalities
and impossibi.tes that when a team
successfully works this attack it Is
more blind luck than anything else.
If you want the details YOU can get q
rulebook Tor 10 cents and go over
them yourself The main require
ments OF the play We should say, are
number of well-equipped constitu-
tional lawyers to direct each man in
volved to keep him inside the law.

II OLKS at large are probably not
n interested in a discussion Ct
technical points in the game of
football; but all who are ulrectly
connected with the game, as well as
certain element Of fandom. are
bound to be. | am going to try to
clear up a few Of the knotty points
still to be found in the rules.
ABOUT THE oNslDE KICK.
While it is fairly well understood
by everybody that this year the
punter does not have to stand five
yards back of his scrimmage line to
make a punt; and that others of the
punter's side who were back of the
ball at the instant it was kicked are
"onside," and may therefore hustle
down field after the ball and secure IL
if they are able. it is not well under
stood that these "onside" men have
vet no right to interfere with an op-
ponent who is signaling that ne Will
make a try at a fair catch or that
punt.
Now. in the case of a "kiCk-o off"
from the 4O-yard line. or in the case
of a kick out" from the 25-yard line
this rule does not hold. Thus man
OF the receiving side in either Of these
cases may signal all he pleases for
fair catch. but that does not prevent
an "onside" man of the hCker's
side from interfering with his fair
catch, because being "OnSide' he
has as much right to the hall as has
any player of the other team. Then
why should not a man who was on
side" (behind the ball when it was
kicked) have the same right in the
case of any ordinary scrimmage
punt?
There appears to be no good rea-
son why this distinction should be
made. but it was so voted by the
Football Rules Committee that met
this fall in New York city for the
purpose Of interpreting just such
points as this However, the hCkerS'
onside men may themselves attempt
t. make a bona fide catch Of the
punt. as in the case of forward
passes; the prohibition only extends
to an actual personal interference
with the opponent who is trying to
make the fair catch.
ILLEGAL RETURN TO GAME.
The first year the rules permitted
a PLAYER who had been taken out Of
the game to return once. There was
no penalty whatever attached to his
being returned oftener or to his being
put in at other than the beginning
Of a quarter This was a simple er-
ror of omission, for of course, no law
is worth a hill of beans" unless
some penalty is provided for the
breach thereof.
Now there is provided a definite
penalty, but at this same recent
meeting the question came up:
What if 4 player is Illegally re-
turned TO the game, but the fact is
not discovered until after the game

permit them to take the bail out to
the 20-yard line and kick it again
or scrimmage it as in other cases
of touChback.
Serves him right. too,
WHEN EIGHT MEN ARE ON LINE.
1t is well known that only seven
men are required to ne on the line
of sCrimmage when the bah is snap
ped; but sometimes coaches work out
play that calls for eight Of their
men to be on the line Of sCrimmage.
Now, there are a lot of rules as to
how these required seven men s6al'
stand with reference to that line and
to each other; but the committee de-
Cided tnat when eight are On the
line only seven of them need con-
form to these reules, while the eighth,
If on the end of the line, will De per

a posture
POSITION OF MEN ON DEFENSE.
For years there has been more or
less doubt in officials minds whether
the rule relating to Interchange Of
backfie,d men with linemen, and vice
versa, referred to offense or to de-
fense. or to both. At last the com
mittee has grappled with that ques-
;ion and Topped 1t with a double
nelson. 1t is now made plain that the
law relates only 10 positions of play
ers on the Offense, and that when
it comes to defense a team may dump
all its eleven men into coal bin,
shuttle them up and pour them out
like so many dice to play whittier
away they please for all the old rule
book cares.
Incidentally the discussion of this
point brought out the fact that play
ers are named with reference to the
positions they play in an offensive
lineup, not from the way OF the
places they play on the defense. This
has become fairly important point
Of late years, with the newspaper
men al least. For instance, we see
a man playing-l.kc on the Tech team
right guard on the offense and right
end on defense; or the right half on
offense playing full back on defense.

Some time ago the state OF Cali
