though, that it would be well worth
while for many institutions to take
greater interest in the committees
of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association, especially in regard to
the way members Of these committees
are changed and new members named.
Some rather caustic comment has ap-
peared In regard to the foot ball rules
committee. but it is we'll within the
power of the institutions comprising
the membership of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association to change
the membership.
Comment from coaches against the
change in the forward-pass rule is
critical, too, somewhat because the
rules committee has gone absolutely
against the unanimous recommenda-
tions of the best coaching minds In
the country. The coaches are sup
posed to know most about foot ball,
and they felt their recommendations
would be followed. And they prob
ably will be further amazed by the
fact that one Of the coaches, who, at
the coaches meeting, expressed him.
self as believing that the rules were
all right and should not be changed, Is
a member Of the rules committee.
But when it gets down to brass
tacks, it is fact that the great ma
jority of coaches, while they may like
one thing better than another, deep in
their hearts do not care much what
the rules are. They all have to play
under the same rules. and change is
not likely to work for the benefit Of
one more than for another. And, fur
thermore. coaches. while they may
criticize changes, really have no desire
to see any such situation as would
develop if the South for instance,
were to form its own rules and play
under a different code than the North.
And something else. While all may
have their opinions, it is impossible
for anybody. even the rule makers
themselves, to say just what the ef
feet OF the forward pass change will
be. The rule makers thought that the
ball should be kicked off from the cen.
ter Of the field, yet with one season Of
play 1t was demonstrated that they
were wrong entirely, and the rule was
changed back so that the ball might
be kicked from the 40-yard line. With
season Of trial, everybody will be in
a good position to form definite opin-
ion and express absolute judgment as
to whether or not the new change
will prevent indiscriminate forward
passing as a last-minute chance or
whether somebody slipped over
joker with the apparent intention of
actually curbing the heave through
out the entire game.

stops of hard-hit balls that brought
forth appreciation from the stands.
Murray was the batting star, garner

Incidentally, a home run by Fary,
Richmond captain, proved the longest

the ieft-field fence, which is an eXcep'

Notwithstanding there is discomfort
over the foot ball rules committee S

any talk that different sections of the
country are likely to split from the

II Practically all institutions are
members of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association and the present
foot ball rules committee represents

1t is the organization of these lnstl-
tutions that is responsible for the
foot ball rules committee, as the
members of the committee are elect
ed by the association. Members Oh
the association. therefore. are duty
bound to stand by whatever their
committee does. Some coaches IN
different parts of the country may not
like the new rule, but what they like
or do not like in the rules has never
counted for much, apparently, except
az it has found expression through
