KICKOFF RULINGS
 CHANGES THIS YEAR
Receiving Team Can Be 10 Yds.
 Ahead Of KiCkers' Line

New York, Sept. 20.-A change in the football rules for 1924 which permits the receiving eleven to be behind a line 10 yards in front of the point from which the kickoff is made, no matter what yard line is chosen by the kicking team, was an- rounced by Chairman F.. K. Hall, of the American intercollegiate football rules committee.
 The following clause is added to section 3, rule and is effective i'm mediately: -,
 Tn case the kickoff is made from point behind the middle of the field, the opponents shall be behind line 10 yards in front of the spot from which the kick is made"
 In 1923 and for seevral years pre- vious, the rules provided that team should kick off from tits own 40 yard line at a point equidistant from the side lines" At the meeting of the rules committee last February the kicking point was placed at mid field, artificial tees were abolished and the opposing eleven was re- strained on it's own 40-yard line.
 It was then suggested than on a muddy field it might be difficult to get away a good kick without the use of an ,artificial tee and accord irgly the rule was changed to pro- vide that the kickoff might be made from the middle of the field or 'any point directly back of it, thus mak- ing it possible to go back such dis tance as might be necessary to get a firm spot for the kick.

The 1924 season of the All-New Britain football team will be ushered in at o'clock Sunday afternoon at Memorial Field, Willow Brook park, when the locals will meet the speedy Adams, Mass, team.

C.; Shand, halfback, once with the Army team in the Philippines; Wilder a half back formerly with the West Coast navy team; Schneider, an Adams hoy who has played for the past five years with the team, and who, according to Percy Wendell, the for mer Harvard backfield star, would have been great college player had he gone to school; Chemunk, a 230- pound guard and Bond, who made fame as member of the Worcester Tech team.
 Many new faces will be seen in the. locals lineup when the team trots out on the field Sunday at Memorial Field. Coach Dave Dunn has not as yet selected his players to start the season, and vii. not do so until af- ter the final practice at St. Mary's field at 1O:30 o'clock Sunday morn ing. Coach Dunn has the following material to pick from: Center, Cap tain James Conley; tackles, Politis.

Con- nelly: fullbacks, Johnny danders and Bradford; quarterbacks, George Tal- bot and Fully.
 The All-New Britains will appear in the brand new jerseys, red with black numerals on the back Of the jersies. Harry Ginshers, Gleason Parker and David Mahoney, central board officials, will handle the game. The management has secured 12 policemen to handle the crowd. AS there are noHother important sfmes in the state on Sunday, many. fans are expected from other cltles to witness the contest. The kickott Will be at 3 o'clock promptly.
