LITTLE CHANCE
FOR CHANGE in
FOOTBALL RULES
Chairman of Committee
Opposed to Any Further
Tinkering.
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-There is
just one outstanding figure in foot
ball, as far as the rules and regula-
tions of this most popular and re-
munerative of college games is con
cerned. His name is +. X. Hall.
His college was Dartmouth and his
job is chairman Of the rules conf
mittee.
just when it was understood that
the 1927 playing rules were to be
made the subject of destructive
cross fire of criticism from officials,
coaches and spectators, the suave,
forceful figure of Hall popped into
the breach today with upraised
hand.
In his annual report to the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion which opened its 22nd conven-
ton at the Hotel Astor this morn
ing, Hall not only defended the
playing rules in force this year,
but intimated they would remain in
force.
At Wednesdays meeting of the
association of intercollegiate foot
ball officials, Hall took the wind
out of the horns and whistles Of
those present by declaring there
would be no change in the gridiron
code for 1928.
Hall said that every effort of the
rules committee will be bent
towards stabilizing the rules as
they now are

today the chairman of the rules
committee explained the following
points.
Changes Constructive
In 1906 the rules committee set
out deliberately to change the game
of football as then played.
The first effort was to make the
game more interesting; the second
to make it more open; the third to
remove the premium upon mere
weight and to develop greater op-
portunity for speed, ability and
brains.
From 1906 to 1920 Hall said, the
committee labored to bring about
the desired changes, to produce a
game requiring more strategy, one
giving the underdog' better
chance and one in which sportsman
ship and better officiating would
enter in.
Hall reviewed the changes in the
rules during that II year period and
Sdlu lHdt SlHtt ID-U HIS NoiilhltbNt
had been concerned chiefly with
consideration of such questions as
whether the game could be made
safer, more open, more sportsman
like or better adjusted as between
offense and defense.
The chairman of the rules com,
mittee explained this years new
rule against the shift was designed
to prevent abuse of the opportuni-
ties afforded the defense by that
play. He said the rule regarding
fumbled punts had been designed to
encourage the catching and running
back of punts by defensive quarter
backs.
Removal of the goal posts to a
position 10 yards behind the re-
speetive goal lines was the new reg
ulation chiefly attacked by the
football men gathered here this
week. Hall defended the removal
vigorously.
Safety of players heretofore en-
dangered by contact with the up
rights, he urged, was more to be
considered than the interest of the
spectators who wished to know i'm
mediatcly whether n touchdown had
been scored.
The lateral pass rule came in for
equally warm defense from the
rules chairman.

RAILROAD PROSPERITY

The decreased earnings of the New Haven railroad and the Boston & Maine reflect a slowing up of transportation in New England. Less raw materials. less coal. few CT passengers are being hauled: the roads have adopted q radical policy of retrenchment to hold down ex- penses.
 When this information became public we compared it with the earnings of certain other eastern trunk lines, two of them showing an increase and the third approximately standing still. And we naturally ask ed why.
 Comes the information that the Rock Island railroad, which extends west from Chicago. has experienced the greatest four months in Its his tory; last year the period brought a virtual deficit: this year there is considerably in excess of million in profits.
 We are still inclined to ask why, but cannot find the answer.
