Chairman Il. X. Hall of the FOOT

plea for the integrity of the gridiron
game, laying particular stress upon
the acceptance by contending elevens
Of the rulings of officials. He says:
This particular matter Is distlnct-
~
academic and athletic. There are
even now too many thoroughly COM
petent and honest officials who hesi-
tate to infiict penalties lest they earn
the dissatisfaction of hostility OF the
colleges involved and thus lose the
opportunity of ever again appearing
as an arbiter OF games which the
offended institutions play.
These are significant words and
they needed to be spoken at this time
II officials are held in the fear that
by imposing just penalty or making
a ruling that Is distasteful to a team
and its partisans then foot ball as
a sport Is bound to suffer. Petty
spite held by a coach toward an OFF,
cial should not be tolerated.
There will be little for "the man In
of foot ball rule changes this year.
The try-for- point after touchdown
which replaces the old ''try-for- goal"
is perfectly understandable. The side
making touchdown may add an
additional point to it's score through
placement or drop-kick or a play
from scrimmage. The kick or play
may be launched from any point out
eide the fve-yard line. Probably the
field goal will be the most popular
method Of attempting the extra point.
So far as other changes that ap-
pear in the 1922 rules go they are
largely concerned with the clear in
depreciation of illegal shift plays and
clipping. An excellent change, how
ever. has been made in the rule al

has been taken out in the, first half
