CHANGES in FOOTBALL
RULES ARE PROBABLE
(By United Press.)

New York, Nov. 13.-Legislation
requiring all football teams to num-
Der players may find its way on the
gridiron law books when the rules
committee meets this winter.
Numerous other reforms are also
being agitated. The committee is ex-
pected to 60 on record with a CEN
sure of the scouting system" and
the practice, becoming more and
more prevalent, of coaxing star play
ers away from other colleges and
universities.
Numbering players, as concession
TO the public, has been the subject
of agitation for several years. The
rules committee had it up last winter
and disposed of the proposal with a
resolution-"The committee recon-
mends that all players Be numbered"
Practically all of the major teams
are numbering their players this sea-
son except Yale, Harvard and the two
service academies.
Princeton has been numbering the
Tigers in every game and has an
nounced the intention of doing the
same thing in the big games with
Yale and Harvard, although it seems
likely that. they will not do it.
Commander Douglas Howard, of
the Naval academy, said after the
recent Princeton Navy game that the
midshipmen would not be numbered
in any game. If the Navy takes this
attitude, it is certain that the Army
will Io tho Sonoo th1no
One Of the objections is that
"scouts" can pick out star players
and that trick players are more easily
detected by numbers.
However, this objection will be
overruled if some action is taken by
the rules committee, or the athletic
bodies Of the big universities to dis
courage scouting"
Princeton, the lone member of the
"Big Three" to show any progressive
ideas, has come out against scout
ing" with the assertion that they will
not do it in the future. A gentle
mans agreement" is said to have
been reached among the big Three"
to discontinue the practice.
Last year after losing the annual
game to the Naval academy, the
Army announced that it was going
out and get players. The Navy bowls
that the Cadet management did 60
out and collect stars by wholesale
distribution of appointments.
Rutgers is also bowling about the
same thing, having had a good team
ruined by "desertions." Nine star
players left and went to other uni
versities, where they are starring this
year. French and ,>'Stork went to
West Point, Kelly to Yale, Alexander
and Duffy to Fordham, Whitehill to
Penn, Meistrell to Princeton, and
Hummell to Lafayette.
Some very interesting disclosures
about the inducements being offered
to prep school stars is promised for
the winter meeting.
