Perhaps the chief change from IL
man football is that the man receiving
the ball from center cannot carry it
across the scrimmage line. He must
relay the ball to one of his mates
and it must be distinct pass.
Forwards may be thrown from any
point behind the scrlmmage line and
any pass not crossing that line is
considered a lateral, whether or not
the ball travels in a forward direction.

receipt of an unusual

the rule requiring that placement
goal, or drop-kick, or running play
shall be employed to gain an extra

against the rule is the usual one, that
it nullifies the equality of the touch
down and often gives the game to an
eleven which. on the basis of play, de-
served nothing better than tie, if
that.
1t is moral certainty, however,
that the rule never will be eliminated,
not only because it is one of the ele-
ments which keep the foot in football,
but because it is not so much of an

SixMan Football, Developed Prouide More Open Play
And Safer Pastime Nou Being Staged in % States;
Forward Passing Is Permitted Anywhere Back of Line

N YEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE
M popularity of six-man foot
" ball has tripled annually
4 since the sport was intro
duced in this country in 1884, accord
ing to Stephen E. Elper, inventor of
the game, who is now doing graduate
work at Columbia University's Teach
ers College.
Three years ago after the first six
man contest was staged in Hebron,
Nebr, some so schools in the Mid
west promptly added the new sport
to their athletic curricula. The num-
ber rose to $50 in 1885 and to 500
last year, so Elper estimates that
between 500 and 1000 are now ac-
lively interested in the pastime.
This new type of football is de-
signed not only to make the gridiron
sport more open and safer, but also
to afford schools with small enroll
ments an opportunity to enjoy more
even competition on the football field.
