Grid rule CHANCES

There are several important changes
in the football rules for 1914 which
spectators should bear in mind as they
watch the game.
1. Coaches must take seats on the
players benches. They are no longer
permitted 10 walk up and down the side
lines.
?. The kirk-out from the 20-yard line
following the making OF safety or a
touchdown has been abolished. After
such plays the ball must be put In
scrimmage on the 20-yard line.
3. A fourth official, the field judge.
has been added His appointment,
however, is optional, and he will prob
ably be used only in the big games. He
acts as an assistant TO the referee and
linesman.
4. 4 player finding that he cannot
make a forward pass successfully, is no
longer permitted to throw the bali ON
the ground and claim an "uncompleted''
forward pass. This is penalized by a
loss Of 10 yards
5. Teams are not allowed TO encroach
on the neutral territory in making shift
plays.
@ A free kick which hits the goal
posts and bounds back into the field be-
comes a touchback.
:. Holding player on the side lines
under the preteXt of fixing his shoe,
where he may be in position to take a
long pass to the side and have a clear
field for touchdown, a form of decep-
tion frequently tried but rarely success
ful, has been classed as "unsportsman-
like conduct"
The other changes in the rules are
comparatively unimportant and refer
for the most part 20 the forward pass.
