AS far as any difference these two
changes will make in the eye of the
public they might as well have been
made. And these changes make very
little difference TO anybody, except
that the increased penalty for clip
ping and the giving Of the penalty
from the spot of the foul probably
creates more equitable adjustment
in relationship 10 penalties for less
severe infractions.
VIII Interest Spectators.
The two changes which will be i'm
portant in the eye of the spectators
are those involving showing the
Kickoff back TO the 40-yard line
from the 50-yard mark, and the
change in the blocking of or touch
ing kick behind the line of scrim-
mage. Last year when team
punted and the ball was blocked the
baH was free and belonged TO any
player of either side. This resulted
In good work of the team being penal
lied because of the ball was blocked
and recovered by the side doing the
punt1ng the next down was first
down.
This year when punt is blocked
behind the line of scrimmage the
ball Will belong TO the side recovering
1t, and will count down for the punt
ing team if il RECEIVERS. If it hap
pens to be fourth down when it punts
the ball will go to the other side.
Last year teams often were in
doubt as 10 whether or not a punted
ball had been touched before it
crossed the line of scrimmage. and
consequently did not know how to
play. One side might be going down
under the punt and have every play
er outside but not know and allow
the other team to recover. This can
not occur this Fall-when a punted
ball crosses the line of scrimmage
and has been touched before crossing
1t is TO be played just as If 1t had
never been touched.
These are the changes to which at
tention is called. For the next three
weeks coaches and officials Will spend
their time studying the rules from
end to end and by the time the an
nual Interpretation meeting is held in
New York probably will have a lot
of questions to ask about what they
think are antiquities or just plain
mistakes. Each year it seems that
the rules committee transmits to type
what is considered a more or less
perfect version Of the rules, but so
far no set of rules has come from
the press in which coaches and Off
cls4lS nave Idlieu TO ma Il good many
flaws. AS soon as sufficient oppor-
tunity has been found to study the
present book likely it will not be an
exception.
The annual Interpretation meeting
of the foot ball rules committee will
be held Saturday. September II, at
the Hotel Pennsylvania, in New York
1t is not the intention of those in
charge of the meeting to send out
official interpretations of the rules.
and only those that attend will benefit
except in a secondhand way
Every year the meeting develops
considerable discussion of the rules
and even after the meeting is over
doubt remains in the minds of those
present as TO just what the actual in
depreciation of a certain section of
the rule is. Last Fall one rule never
was settled and throughout the entire
season officials usually met before
each game and asked coaches what
was their idea of it and how they
desired the ruling to be made during
that particular contest.
