FOOTBALL RULES
WILL UNDERGO A
BIG ALTERATION
Changes Planned to Pre-
vent Roughness on the
Gridiron in East.
FORWARD PASS IS
TO BE PROTECTED

- PHILADELPHIA. Pa. oct. 30
- More protection for the man who
4 makes a forward pass was urged
by football officials. coaches and
players at a meeting held here re-
Gently. IL was the unanimous Opin-
ion that the present rules are made
quate. and this point should be fully
covered in the playing code.
The rules clearly state that the
punter shall not be knocked off his
feet or otherwise rOugLed unless a
bOna-fide attempt is made to get at
the ball The protection extends even
further than that. for the man who
kicks the ball is considered a kicker
until both feet are on the ground and
he takes at least TWO steps This IS
very sOod rule. as DO guards against
serious accidents
Cut Out RouEhness.
II player is r0ugled after Re
kicks the bail ne is in no position 60
defend himself one leg is in the air
and he IS balanced on the bail OF his
other foot For thar reason drastic
action was taken. but IN some man
ner protection for the forward rfsser
was overlooked
Like the punter. a player can
not protect himself after throw
In the ball. He stands with one
arm cxtrudcd. his eyes fastened
on the flying ovoid and pays no
attention 20 the opponents
Cannot Protect Himself.
He is not in the play and has No
chance 20 get into ir unless a player
on the opposing side catches the BAH
and gets clear for @ touchdown.
Then he becomes an active player
and should Dee put out OF the way. T.
possible But until that time. or un-
I'll he has reEalned mis- hearings by
walking two steps in any direction.
no attempt should be made 90 knock
him off his feet
a football official may 7enalize the
offending side i'm a case like this by
calling IL unnecessary roughness. Un-
f1-tuua-ely. however there is Moth
ir- specific I'm the rules which covers
the point. and the official has q swell
opportunity 20 get in bad by giving @
penalty not clearly defined in the
playing code
And there are hundreds OF c0aehss
who study the rules. not TO live up 20
them. but 20 find out how they cen

4 movement was inau=urdted
during 1905 by one Of the furt-
most OF the northern universities
TO ascertain the Justification for
resOrfinE to slang phrases or a
wholesale Strengthening of Eng

After an exhaustive Investigation
the university announced that there

handed down from generation TO gen
Grafton, and used so generally a.s 20
be practically indispensable. yes thu
origin Of such terms is 10 many writ

The most commonly used Of

There is perhaps not q 12-year-old
