1t is possible that the suggestions made
nv Philadelphia officials in a post.season
meeting held in the Hotel Walton last De-
cember will be adopted tonight. The local
arblters discovered many flaws in the
language of the rule book, and these dis
coveries have been shipped to the members
of the committee.
The "Punter Puzzle"
One of the chief questions to he taken
I'D is, when does Il punter cease to be
A punter?" The rules protect the man
kicking the ball. An opponent is not al
lowed TO run into a punter after he has
booted the pigsliin, and severe penalties
are inflicted for infractions. If the foul is
unintentiOnal the penalty is | 8 yards if 1t
Is Intentional, the man is disqualified The
committee has been asked to state just
when the punter has finished his work
and becomes taclller or member of the
defensive team.
Clearer interpretations also have been
asked on other rules, espeCallf Rule o,
Section /, which states that the backfield
men must be at least one yard behind the
line Of scrmmage when the ball is put
into play the only exception being the
man who stands behind the centre and
first receives the ball. This was taken to
mean that the quarterback had the right
TO remain in the one-yard zone provided he
took the ball from the snapper back.
This rule was violated in nearly every
game played last year, championship con-
tests included. Oftentimes the quarter
back would crouch behind the centre, hold
out his hands, but the ball was passed
to one Of the backtield men instead. The
rule probably will be changed to read
zone man will be allowed to encroach on
the oRe-yard zone before the ball is put
into play"
May Number Players
The question of numbering the players
is up again, and perhaps the moguls will
see fit to make 1t compulsory next fall.
Opposition by Yale and Harvard was quite
childish last year, and the coaches should
be shown the error of their ways. 1t is
impossible for the spectators to distinguish
between the various players in the big
games and this takes away the principal
attraction At the Army and Navy game
In New York last year no one knew who
was doing the good work. and guessing
contests were in order all afternoon.
