Friends fulfilled prophesies made
previous to the game In all but one

in games played throughout the coun-
try have given such conflicting inter-
pveta:ions Of the two important
changes IN the rules, ihaugurated this

the scoring system of the game, that
the Rules Committee of the American

Most OF the trouble is over the new
Rule y. which was designed to change
the play after a touchdown is made
from a try for goal through a place
kick TO a try for point" through one
OF three methods. Some teams, elect
ing 10 try for point" by kicking goal,
have claimed the point when the kick
failed, but one of their men recovered
the ball and rushed 1t behind the OPP
posing goal.
In some instances. referees and
other officials have enormously upheld
the contention, L. X. Hall, chairman
OF the Rules Committee, said in issu-
ing the statement. Mr.. Hall pointed
out hat a team having chosen TO

fail the play automatically was ended.
The new rule, he added, does not per-
NIT the conversion OF a play.
Rule "" says the statement, pro
vides that a team which has made n
touchdown may add n additional
point to its score by successfully ex-
ecuting in a single play any one Of
the following: BY a goal from field;
by completing n forward pass in the
end zone. or by carrying the ball
across the line"
