CHANGES
MOSTLY TECHNICAL
Majority of Alterations Serve to Clarity Former Wording of
RuIes-Unrestrcted Substitution Allowed in the
Last Period of the Came

NEW YORK. July 31.-College foot
ball this fall will conform in practically
every respect with the code Of rules
which governed the sport last season.
The football rules committee in ses-
sion in this city yesterday made few
changes for the season OF 1913. What
few alterations were effected proved of
technical nature and for the most part
served only TO clarity the wording of
ambiguity.
One somewhat important change, how
ever, will permit the kicker to stand
ar any distance from the line Of scrim-
mage when booting the ball, instead of
al least FIVE yards back. as heretofore.
It is expected that this will put preml-
urn on quick kicking from directly be-
hind the forwards and add a new fea-
ture of always welcome uncertainty.
Another alteration makes possible un-
restricted substitution In the last or
fourth period OF the game. Previously
men who had been removed from the
game could not again be put in play
except at the beginning of some subse-
quent period.
1t often happened that an unexpected
substitution was necessary in the last
period. but under the rules no one who
