Severe complaints came from al! sides
wherever these teams went last year
who made use of that method. and in
cancellations and changes in schedules
resulted. When therefore it was brought
to the rules committees attention this
year it was determined to preclude the
ment in the game, and therefore rule
was made that team may not encroach
upon the neutral zone and if they make
shifts they must make them in their
and one that will eliminate any cause
for friction in this respect.
While most teams in the case of a
safety or touchback were wont to
line and snap it back for a punt, there
were teams and occasions when the
old fashioned kick-out was still used.
1t was so rare, however. that 1t seemed
best to the committee to cut 1t out al
together and have the regular standard
method of putting the ball in play
after a safety or a touchback by a
scrimmage at the 20-yard line. This
enabled them to cut out seyeral
cumbersome rules in the code also
complished.
Tripping by the hand has been added,
for, of course, every one realizes that
it is quite as possible to trip man by
the use OF the mana as Dy the IOOts al
though perhaps not as common or as
possible of concealment. However, 1t
is well to put in that legislation and
prevent man being caught by the
foot or ankle in this fashion.

THINKING ABOUT HIS DOG
And Sallee Made a Poor Play, His
Mind Not on Game.

NEW YORK. September ga group
of base ball players were discussing
left -handers the other day, and as
they ranged from Wadden to Benton
to Sallee, they agreed that the man who
pitches with his wrong arm is always
the possessor of eccentric moods.

Giants on a Saturday afternoon at the
Polo Grounds" said one member. of the
group, ,"and in the seventh inning the
Giants filled the bases and needed only
one run to tie. bah was hit to Sallee.
but instead of throwing the ball to the
plate and forcing a man, he hurled it
20 first. When he got. back to the
bench the rest Of the players began to
ride him and accused the. pitcher of

should not be penalized. because. un-
questionably. the fullback could easily
enough take care of himself under these
rule which now provides that a man
may be penalized for this only when
he actually roughs the fullback.
Officials will exercise their own dis
cretion about this. but one thing is
certain, and that is the attempts to
block kicks will be made much more
vigorously and will be carried through
with greater abandon. If it should de.
velop that this leads to real danger to
the kicker, the rule will undoubtedly
we must expect to see a great deal
more freedom exhibited on this point.
A rather interesting rule among the
new ones is that which forbids a player
hiding on the side lines. At first it
the old rule. that a man must not be
outside the field of play when the
ball was put in play. stand and that
that would prevent anything of this
kind
Unfortunately this has not proved to
be the case. for many complaints were
made to the rules committee that a
team would line UP with everybody in
the field of play. Then when the ball
was snapped an end would run out of
the spectators and then come back on
the field to play. putting himself in a
position then to receive a forward
pass, and as the opponents could not
see him while he was behind the crowd.
they had no idea of him appearing in
this position. This was further aggra-
waited by men crouching down behind
the 1inesman or where the crowd was
trespassing little on the field, hiding
behind one or two men and then COM
ing out into the play. Altogether there
were so many variations of what might
be termed concea1ment that it was de-
termined to put a paragraph in forbid
ding this and CHASING ii under un-
sportsmanlike conduct.
The official will have to judge what
hiding is. but with the power in his
hands it is safe to say that any unfair
deception of the opponents will be ruled
against on the field.
One or two coaches. both north and
south, became altogether too free with
encroachments upon the neutral zone, a
form of wheel shift which was used by
Harvard and later abandoned on account
of these difficulties. OF course, it is
manifestly unfair for a team to tramp
through the neutral zone. humping the
heads of their opponents who are get
ting set for a charge. and the natural
instinct is for the opponents then to
trespass IN the neutral zone themselves.
Hence there is trouble at once, and the

program. The qualification round this
year will be at eighteen instead of at
thity-six holes, and there will be five
sixteens to qualify. The qualification
