CHANGES IN FOOTBALL RULES. Penalty in Forward Pass and OtheI
 Alterations.

The football rules remain the same as in 1913 except for a few changes. Chief among them were the elimination of the coach from the side lines, the imposition of 8 penalty on a forward pass that had been purposely ground ed and the ruling that a ball hitting the goal post on a free kick and bound ing back into the field of play shall be called q touchback. Several other changes of minor import were made, but they will not make any material difference in the general aspect Of the ganie
 The new rule which will have the most important bearing on the game next fall is possibly that which states that the intentional grounding Of a forward pass shall be penalized by the offending team being set back ten yards from the point whence the ball was put in play. This change was ac- cepted by all as being a very fair one.
 When a ball hits the goal post once free and bounding back into the field, it shall be called a touchback instead of safety. The new rule states that the ball must be put in play from scrimmage from the 20 yard line. For merly the team against which the touchback was scored had the choice ] of a free kick from behind the 20 yard line or putting it in play from scrim- mage rarely ever happened that a team would choose to kick, for it was by all odds better judgment to attempt to advance the ball somewhat by scrinnlaging and then punt if unsuc-
 cessfu The kick out had become practically an obsolete play and it was stricken out in order to make the rules more simple.
 The matter of there being a fourth official on the grounds will be purely a case of agreement between the con testants. No duties are assigned to this official in the rules. He will sim ply act as helper to the referee or umpire and may be designated by them to perform whatever duties thys may see fit.
 The question of numbering the play CTS was discussed at length. In view of the fact, however, that many of the leading teams of the country have al ready decided to do this, nothing was decided upon
