STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
Football Rules Changes
Not of Vital Importance

profting by a distance penalty. should
also have the choice of goal
Fouls committed by players behind the
goal line have been legislated upon spe-
cifically in order to make the point clear
that foul Of this kind, which would de-
prive an opponent of an opportunity to
recover the ball and make a touchdown
will give a touchdown to the offended
side
1t has long been stated in the rules
book under the definition Of safety, that
a player who is carrying the ball, is forced
oack across his line, is guilty Of making
satety, but 1t was deemed wise to
striNe out this clause in the rule entirely
as the rules have been made clear that
the referee should blow his whistle at the
forward point reached by the player car
rytng the ball.
There are two minor changes In the
determination Of the legality OF a forrna-
ton. Last year If a man was not one
yard back and still was not on the line
OF scrimmage II produced an illegal for
nation. This was either winked at or
agreed upon with the officials before the
game, for it was not intended that the
man occupying the usual position of the
quarter back could not stand nearer than
one yard to the scrimmage line, although
the ball was passed to some one else It
formation is not illegal, but that the
quarter back Is not eligible to receive a
Forward pass unless he is one yard back.
The other change Is to make clear that a
guard or tackle. dropped back from the
line must 80 back at least five yards In
order to be eligible to run or to act as an
lnterferer or to receive q forward pass
It has been the habit Of the man de-
Tending the goal to feel free to run into
the catcher of a punt out. The rule has
now been made clear that they may not
do this except In bona fide attempt to
catch or bat the ball This last permits
sion-to bat the baIl-is an addition, and
players defending the goal on a put out
may now bat the ball in any direction.
For some years the rule restricting line
men IN their conduct has read that strik-
ing with the locked hands '~by linemen
when they are breaking through" is
Illegal.

Alterations in the football rules for
1916 are very negligible in the bearing
they will have on the system of play that
must be adopted by the coaches. What
few changes were recorded by the rules
committee were made rather for the pur-
pose of clearing up debatable points than
in any way to alter the style or charac-
teristics of the play, because the COM
mittee felt that the game was now in a
we'll balanced condition
A set of approved ground rules has
been added to the list of regulations. and
they are the same as those which prevail
in most of the enclosures for the big
games and provide proper rulings for a
ball going into the crowd behind the goal,
or into the stands, or crossing the side
line and going into the crowd. These
regulations, however, may be altered by
consent Of the two teams. with the Of
icials, previous to the commencement OF
play.
These approved ground rules follow:
A kickoff or free kick or any kicked
ball not scoring a goal, which crosses the
goal line and goes into the stand or
among the spectators, shall count as a
touchback.
A blocked kick which, after being
blocked, crosses the kickers goal line and
goes into the stand or among the spec
tators shall count as a safety.
A ball passed backward across the goal
line which goes into the stand or among
the spectators shall count as a safety.
A blocked kick which goes over the
side line fence or among the substitutes
shall belong to the side blocking the kick
at the point where the ball crossed the
side line.
A fumbled ball which goes over the side
ftnesfence or among the substitutes shall
belong to the side whose player last
touched it in the field Of play, at the
point where the ball crossed the side line.
This last rule, however, does not apply to
forward passes.
Other alterations in the rules have ref
erence generally to the penalties, the safe
ty and interpretations of fouls.
The rule has been made clear that in
the case of delay of the game at inter
mission the offended side, in addition to
