TUFTS SHOWS WEAK
RULES IN football
Leading Official Points Out Flaws
in Game During Past Season

Boston, Dec. 11.-While he does not
believe any drastic changes in the
football rules will be necessary or even
entertained this winter. Nate Tufts of
Brown thinks the code needs some
clearing up in certain passages Tufts
was the leading official of the season
and acted games from Maine down
to West Virginia.
He says: 1T will be necessary to
broaden the scope of the approved
rulings so they will be understood bet
ter. AS the rulings stand now 1 have
found wide difference of opinion
among the coaches. With such condi-
tons prevailing it is easy to under
stand why players are not acquainted
with certain points.
Il find that football men over the
country have been arguing over ar
ticle B, section 16 of Rule VI, which
reads: "A safety is made when a
player of the side IN possession Of the
ball makes a forward pass which be-
comes uncompleted behind his goal
line
Must Call 1t a Safety.
Under the Interpretation there is
nothing else for an official to do but
call it safety. Take, for example, a
yard line. A player makes a forward
pass. One of the defensive players
bats the ball so that it strikes in the
end zone behind the goal line of the
team which put the ball in play. I
would rule it safety.
IT do not know If this situation
came up in a game this year, but I
know that many men do not think 1t
should be ruled a safety. They claim
! it should be called All incomplete pass
just as if the pass was incompletcd
; on the field of play. That is one point
| the rules committee undoubtedly will
J determine when it meets this winter
! 1T also is said in the rules that 8
| player Is not otfside behind his oW1
| goal line. Just how the rules com.
mittee will rule when a player who i.
| standing behind his own goal lint
!, rushes down the field and RECEIVERS {
punt by his own side before it ha,
been touched by an opponent, I an
not at liberty to say. But, according
to the rules, such a player is eligible
to gain possession of the ball, some
thing which he cannot do If he is or
I the field of play.
This Pass Bad One.
! whether or not a player can leave
the field of play and be eligible to re-
ceive forward pass is another point
that may be discussed. There seems
to be a difference of opinion on this
point. I know of no play that has
caused SO much comment as thai
which was decided against Somervill<
/ High in its game with Medford High
! MANY prominent football men ar.
que it is against the spirit of the rules
and that player leaving the field
should not be allowed to figure in that
play even If he was on the field OF
play when the bali was snapped.
There may be other points present
ed to the rules committee for decision
The committee does not get together
until some time in February. It is
possible that some changes may be
suggested before it convcnes. Officials
have suggested to the rules committee
that the cutting down of a player from
behind also be taken up"
