threw in a few little appendices for good
luck.
For the past few years only small
changes have been made. The so-called
new" game has proved satisfactory and
amendments have been minor affairs.
Now there Is one more set OF rules 10
be added. These are for the benefit of
the spectators. They do not affect the
players but they will give the officials q
few more precepts to follow.
These rules provide standard set OF
signals by which the referee may ind!-
cate for spectator what is happening on
the feld--especislly regarding irfiction
of penalties. Football no longer Is a
mere spectacle. II is a game watched
by people who know It more or less.
Numbering OF players practised by indi-

Football has given many men 10 the

checkerboard OF war. Among the high

'Gen. Marchs CHEZ football asset,
however, was his good right foot. Ho
