FOOTBALL RULES
PLEASING TO ALL
No Radical Changes Probable at
Meeting of Committee
in Chicago.
COLLEGE ATHLETIC NOTES

There is little likelihood Of any i'm.
portant change being made in the
football rules for next season, accord
ing to opinion expressed at the ninth
annual convention of the Collegiate
Athletic Association In Chicago. Minor
changes in football rules made last
year were included in the report of
the football committee presented by
DR.. FL. L. williams, OF Minnesota, but
no suggestion of material change Ia
the rules next year was made, and the
general belief of the many collega
men present was that no important
changes would be made when the
college football rules committee meets
next February.
Walter Camp, OF Yale, attended the
conference and discounted any Idea OF
material change in the football rules.
1.-THE present rules have developed q
game which allows full scope for in
dividual excellence in the player" he
said. They are well understood by
the public, they are thoroughly un-
derstoed by the players, and the
sporting writer's have grasped their
every detail. Under these circum-
stances there seems to me to be nc
good reason for any material change" +"
Only One Of Thirteen.
The report of the committee on foot
ball fatalities, showing that only one
of the thirteen deaths accredited to
football in the past year was Of =
trained college player, Was accepted,
but the recommendation OF the COM
mittee that 1t be discharged from fur
ther consideration was disregarded,
and instead the executive committee
was empowered to consider the ad.
visibility OF extending the work OF
the fatalities committee to include
deaths from all forms OF sports--in-
ciuding hunting, canoeing, swimming,
baseball and skating-so that defln-
lite defense might be made to the
charge that football is a brutal sport.
Reports from the basketball \ ana
track rules committees were read, and
1t was decided to publish basketball
and track rules and also to formulate
swimming meet rules.
