FOOTBALL RULES ARE,
HELPED BY CHANGES

arrived the word was gotten to the
musician, and he played a medlev of
airs. from Silver Threads Among the
Gold" to give My Regards to Broad
way" The one on the field who was
supposed to catch this flash was so busy
in the general excitement that he
missed the point. and the Indians were
beaten. This is given simply to show
how widespread had become the propo-
sitiOn of stdeline coaching. against
which the latest rule is aimed.
\ rule which prohibits the passing of
an offensive player through the neutral
zone will break the play upon which
Harvard has been depending most of
late. Styled the wheel shift this ar
rangement consisted of shifting lincmen
TO the strong side of the ARRANGEMENT
of the forwards. via the neutral zone.
With this Iegislated out it will now
be necessary for the men coming across
TO so back of their own line. The new
rule will result in slowing UP the play
considerably. but ii will also mean the
elimination Of a lot of unnecessary ell
bowling by the offensive players who
were not overpolfte in crossing the ball
when the particular play was called.
4 penalty is provided for the inten-
tiOnal grounding of n forward pass.
Starting in the West, this practice
spread through the East and was
brought out with particular force in the
Army-Navy game last fall. when PritCh-
ard repeatedly hurled the ball TO the
ground when he found that he was
pOcketed to such an extent that throw
ing the leather forward might result
in interception and possibly a long run
for a touchdown.
In the future kick that strikes the
uprlghtS will go as q touChback, doing
away with such complications as came
in the Harvard Yale game last Novem-
Der. when o Brlen carried the ball back
of the goal lines and gave Yale safety
when he could have avertcd such aC-
ton by simply touching the ball down
where he found 1t after it had re-
bounded back from the posts.
Next year the proposition of 4 fourth
official Will be left TO the discretion Of
the cOntending teams, but the game is
made easier from the officials stand
point by clarifying the section covering
the point of disqualification for those
humping against the man doing the
kicking. The old rule said that any
defensive player who ran into the punt
should DO disqualified. This penalty was
always considered unreasonable, and it
WAS seldom that an official could b.
found who would put a man out for
simply jolting the kicker Now, il will
ne up to the official TO decide where the
player breaking through has simply un-
Intentionally Jared the Dunter or

CORTEz WANTS TO

Little New Yorker Thinks He
Could Whip Washington Boy
in Second Bout.

Andy Cortez, the sturdy little New

ling though losing battle against Tom
my Lowe, Washington's crack veteran
lightweiht, at Ardmore, last Thursday,
before the biggest throng of the sea-
son, is anxious for another match with
his condueror and IL is possible that
these two performers will be hooked
I'd again as soon as tie clubhuse has
been enlarged.
For the first time in his career Cor
tez travelled fifteen rounds at Ardmore,
most of his bouts being six and ten
round affairs. He didn't quite know
how TO measure his ability over the
long route, suffering somewhat on that
account The little fellow was in doubt
up to the twelfth round whether he
could go the whole distance.
Now that he has fought fifteen ses-
sions, another battle between these two
lightweights ought to be a great draw
ing card
Al McMurray, manager of Cortez,
says that, while somewhat disappointed
at losing the decision, he knows Pat
OConnOr for many years, and hasn't
a doubt of his honesty in giving the
battle to Lowe "I think my boy stands
we'll in the eyes of the Washington fight
FANS writes McMurray, for he always
gives a run for the money. Well, We
showed a fighter, lost tho decision,
