SEVERAL CHANGES .
III FOOTBALL RULES
Forward Pass out Of Bounds
----s
in Fourth Down Gives
Ball to Opponents

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The annual
meeting Of the intercollegiate football
rules committed. held for the purpose
of considering changes in the rules
for 1915, closed here late today with
out radical alteration In the playing
code.
The principal changes include giy-
ing the ball to opponents on a forward
pass out Of bounds. made on the
fourth down, at the point where the
pass was made; the increasing OF the
game officials from three to four and
the limiting OF resubstitution of
players to the beginning Of period.
The committee also earnestly recon-
mended the numbering OF players. but
did not make 1t a mandatory rule.
Under the 1914 rules forward pass
out Of bounds whether touched by a
player or not gave the ball TO oppo-
nents at the point where 1t crossed the
line. Because of the greater accuracy
of a throw ii was frequently resorted
to last fall on the fourth down In
place of the punt.
The change in the resubstitution
rule was made to prevent the return
OF a number of players to the game in
the final period.
To Number Players.
A number OF prominent football Of
ficials testified that the requirements
OF the game were too many for three
officials to cover successfully and for
that reason a fourth official was ap-
pointed in the person Of a field judge,
who shall also be timekeeper In place
OF the inesman. Under the 1914 rules
the naming of a field Judge was not
mandatory.
The committee voted to recommend
the numbering OF players by all col
lege teams playing under the inter
collegiate rules as being desirable In
novation from the spectators stand
point 1t also went on record as
strongly deprecating the sending Of
substitutes into the game with instruc-
tions from the sides.
Minor changes in the rules include
fifteen-yard penalty for unsports-
manlike conduct in addition to the dis
qualification of players in flagrant
cases: a ten-yard penalty for running
into opponents after the whistle has
halted play; fifteen-yard penalty
for throwing the legs and striking
with the lower legs an opponent above
the knees; a fifteen-yard penalty for
running into fullback after punt. to
which is added disqualification for
roughing the fullback.
The committee ruled that the GEN.
ter must pass the ball back with one
continuous motion and release it with
out momentary checking or holding.
The unsuccessful attempt of two
eligible players to catch forward
pass in turn, before the ball touched
the ground, was ruled as an incom-
pleted pass instead of giving oppo-
nents the ball as formerly. other
changes made we're solely for the pur-
pose OF clarifying the phraseology Of
the rules.
