FEW CHANCES IN
1920 FOOTBALL

Although the football world expected
a number of important changes in the
code for the coming season, the rules
as presented in their recent publication
shows about eight variations, none Of
which vitality affect the structure of the
game, says the ST. Louis Posi-Dispatch.
Probably the most noticeable one is
thai which abolishes the punt-out after
touchdown. Hereafter the scoring team
will be permitted to bring out the ball.
directly in front Of the eoal-posts, or any
other position il may choose, from which
to Try at goal.
This change was brought about be-
cause Of the wall that went up last year.
after q large number Of important games
were lost by the margin Of the missed
goal.
Frequently the punt would be poor or.
again. the catcher would make hideous
mnif.
There is likely to be great deal more
penalizing this year, since a number Of
heretofore perfectly legal tactics have
been included under the head Of unnec-
esssry roughness. Hereafter 4 man on
either the defense or offense will be pro-
hibited from clipping" an opponent;
that is from diving at him when he is
out Of the play and has no chance to
participate.
The forwsrd-passer will 6e protected
as the punier has been protect
ed by the rules. As soon as he has
thrown the ball; and. hence. is eligible
thrown the ball he will be immune from
roughing by the opposition. OF course
he is not the passer until after he has
thrown the ball: and. hence, is eligible
to be tackled or blocked, just as the
kicker before he actually becomes the
punter. Some teams have been in the
habit Of continually roughing good pas
sers, so that they are worn from the NAL
treatment before the game is half over.
The referee is also given power to cure
an evil, which in former years he could
only frown at and call bad ethics. This
is the false starting signal Ii is said
thn the 1919 Annapolis team had habit
Of teiniing. to put the ball into play,
thus drawing the opponents offside, al
which time the ball was actually put in
to play. Then the 6ve.ysrd odside pen,
ally was collected. This year the referee
may call the false start and demand that
rhe play be started over.
Coaches will have to develop their
shift formation 50 that there is full
stop before the ball is put into play
OF course. this was required last year,
but the Rules Committee is more def
mite ON the subject than before The
ysllowing is the comment ON the subject
Both the. referee and the lineman are
to be charged with the duty Of watch
ing a man in motion before the ball il
put into play. This has been rendered
necessary by the great development Of
shift plays When a player in making
q shift comes to position he must have
both feet stationary on the ground.
| A few other minor changes and inter
preiaiions follow:
Time is taken out on forward
completed until play starts again.
The rule regarding faircsich-signal il
changed to read prior to attempt Il
catch the bal" instead Of while advanc
ing toward the ball."

The Magic of Woman's Love

When Dave was half . mile away. he looked up and saw the lodge like little white flower opening out of green calyx. Smoke curled lazily from the chimney. Evidently the old caretaker was ready for him.,
 AS he stepped on the rustic porch he saw a merry little fire of Black Jack logs cracking on the old Grass andtrons that had been his mothers. A rough basket of wild flowers hung outside the door. Within gay pillows gave festive air to his worn old leather couch and he saw d nkelele dropped carelessly in the corner. A Chinese tea set that he had picked up in Canton was on. a wagprette md a

She never, expected to marry Norman, but she could not marry anybody else, And she was all of thirty years old.
 The strange sad occurrence kept Canton talking fer long time. Miss Jessup had a great deal to say about it to Harriet. The bestthing Norman can do is to5gst married again quick as eyer he ean.
