MANY NEW RULES
 FOR ICE HOCKEY
 PLAYERSM '3l-32

Toronto, Oct. 20-UP)-Sev- eral rule changes making a faster game were effected at the annual meeting of National hockey league directors.
 Probably the most important of the changes had to do with a goal scored while a member of the de- lending position was out of posi- tion. All such goals will be allow ed.
 The directors also voted to pro- hibit any member of a team, save the captain from talking with a referee on the day of game.
 A penalty face-off will be given any player who falls on the puck within ten feet of his own goal.
 When any player obstructs the vision or impedes the opposing goalie. the referee will stop play and face the puck five feet out side the nearest Blue line.
 The Chicago club announced the purchase from Pittsburgh of Gerry Lowrie, for $6,500.
 The playoffs will be conducted the same as in past years. with the first three teams of each div ison competing.
