Speaking from his experiences in
foot ball on both sides of the border,
he said the chief obstacle to a COM
ference in the rules regarding inter-
ference In the Canadian game the
offensive team must gain 10 yards
in three downs. while in the United
States a team is given four downs
TO gain the same distance. IN Canada
Interference also is restricted ia
three yards in front Of the line OF
scrfmmage and only men within one
yard of the line when the ball is put
into play are allowed to interfere.
Here interference is unlimited.
The McGill coach said he believed
that modification of the Canadian
rules regarding interference to con,
form to American standards would
,eneft the game there. He also took
Z .e5- stand that Introduction of the
r~rward pass into the Canadian game
would be beneficial and that adoption
OF the Canadian rules regarding kick
would help the American game. In
Canada kicking behind the opposing
teams goal counts. for a single point

kick-out on the playing field.

IN the change from the old game,
Hail said. practically all that was
served and most Of the things that came
In for just criticism have been eliminated
and certain desirable features have been
added.
Game Made Much Safer.
The game has been made much
safer; injuries are fewer and less seri-
GUS, and there seems to be no inherent
hazard in the game today beyond those
which are inevitable in any sport, and
especially in sport which includes
among it's elements speed and physical
contact" Hall told the association. "Of
the comparatively few instances of
serious injuries during the past season,
practically all occurred in teams of
secondary schools or other teams where
tne players were competing with very
little training and practically no super
vision. =.
The old mass play with its pulling,
pushing, and piling up has disappeared.
Along with 1t has gone 95 per cent of
the Intentional fractions Of the rules,
and the unnecessary roughness that too
often occurred after the forward
progress OF the ball had been stopped
Hall said the committee believed
that ofrciating during the past sea-
son was better than ever before. He
said there were more men playing
the game this year than ever before
In its history.
During the past two seasons, Hall
said, there has been a marked ten
dency on the part of many colleges
to open up their schedules and play
more strong teams, and this tendency
is still more noticeable in the sched-
ules announced for 1924.
Tells of Accomplishments.
He called attention to the work Of
the committee in compiling a supple
ment to the rules, which includes a
list of approved rulings on given
statement of facts. This, he said, was
simplest form possible and to prevent
complications by minor and relatively
unimportant changes in the wording
Of the rules in an attempt to cover
every possible Interpretation. The
committee, he said, will add cases to
this list each year as the experience
OF the officials who are handling the
game may indicate are desirable
These rulings are prepared by the
committee partly on the initiative OF
and partly in conference with various
sectional associations of foot ball
officials.
He also said that the publishers of
the Rules Book during the last sea-
son, at the request of the committee,
had eliminated from the book the
so-called "alr' teams and had substi-
tuted in its place comprehensive
list of the outstanding players of the
year classified by positions. He closed
with a plea to friends OF the game
to make certain not only that the
game, while being played, Is kept
free from unfair and unsportsmnn- n
like tactics. but that the prepa-a ions
for the foot ball season and develop
ment of the teams are equally free
from anything which savors Of fair
competition or unsportsmanlike prac-
tices.

used to sell papers down on the
very spot where the Israel Orphan

1T isn't laws they're upholdinp,"
he says, "they're fighting innocent
