Under the old rule, a captain could
take time out three times in a half
without penalty. Thereafter. a PEN
atty of two yards was inflicted for
each taking of time out. The new
rule allows time out four times in a
half, but makes the penalty for addi-
tional delays five yards for each Of
fense.
The committee also voted to aV-
thorize the field judge to increase hNs
sphere of operations by assisting thk
referee and other officials in tho mat
ter of determining fouls. A special
committee, consisting of MessrS. Var
nell. Okeson, and Morice, was named
to draft more definite extension of
the duties of this official, to be acted
upon at the 1925 meeting.
The 1924 referee probably will
pack a gun-not to enforce his de-
crees, but to use in place of his whis-
tie to indicate the expiration of a
period. Committee members from the
Pacific coast reported that the public
out there was much pleased at the in
novation of pistol shots to mark the
end of periods, and 1t was generally
understood that the practice would be
brought east. 1t always has been a
bit confusing not to know whether
the referees whistle was for time
out or for the end of a. period.
