Many Changes Made \
in Football Rules
I
Number of Downs Increased to
Five or Four Tries to In?
crease Power of
the Attack.
ON-SIDE KICK ELIMINATED
Forward Pass Allowed Over the
Goal Line?Field Shortened
Ten Yards and Touch?
down to Count
Six Points.
American college football was placed
on a better and sounder basis by the
rules committee <?f fourteen in this city
yesterday After two full days devoted
to considering the many suggestions
offered -nd to struggling with the com?
plex problem, the members by a unani?
mous vote made s number of more or
less radical changes, which to all ap?
pearances will insure a better balanced
game by more nearly equalizing the at?
tack with the defence, while in no way
opening the doors to a return of the
oldtlme mass playa nnd pounding at?
tack Which aroused such a hue and cry
a few years ago.
First and foremost, the distance to ne
gained by rushing was left at ten yards,
but the number of downs was increased
from four to five, or from three tries to
four. Inasmuch as the more important
changes have been summarized at the
head of this column, each now may be
taken up in some detail. The main pur?
pose of increasing the number of downs
was to strengthen the offence, and thus
make of the game a "truer sporting
proposition.*' quoting from Walter Camp.
The i hief problem of the comrrlittee was
to establish a better balance between
the attack and the defence and to Insure
a greater continuity In offensive plays.
It was 'thought better to increase the
number of downs rather than reduce
the number of yards to be gained by
rushing from ten to either seven or five.
It was Celt that five yards might en?
courage a return to close formations,
whereas seven yards would necessitate a
re-marking of the field.
Safetv of Game Considered.
The question was considered at length
as to Just what effect the extra down
would have with the possibility of bring?
ing back the old pounding attack et
lfm? weak point which was to be
avoided. The feeling of the committee
was that this extra down Is not likely to
have that tendency, now that a ban has
been placed on pushing or pulling the
runner. On? of the members explained
that the committee was unanimous in
its sentiment that nothing Bhould bo
done that would in any way increase
the . haaces of injury?
The change of next lmporlar.ee, p?r
hap?. had to d?-> with the forward pees,
h as in considering this much mooted
I question no solution was found until the
field had been rhortonod from 110 to 100
yards, or five yards at each end. The
forward pass was not limited to behind
the line of scrimmage, but the 20*ySTd
pons was eliminated BO that a pass can
!?e freely made for any distan?a. More
important, however, was a ruling tha;
?he pass may be made over the goal lin??
for a distance of ten yards. This
brought about the ne. esslty of shorten?
ing the field, inasminh as many grid?
irons would not allow of ten yards and
6ome little extra distance necessary be?
hind ihe goal posts.
Forward Pass fer Touchdown.
A forward pass which is now .'nm
pleted over the goal line becomes a
touchdown, while If It is InoompMed or
gres hevond the 10-yard line It operates
th? same as In mldfleld. If. however,
the pass Is Intercepted behind the goal
line by an opposing player and not run
out It becomes a tnuchbach.
Th? purpose of this ?hange was to
weaken th?? defiance by forcing it to
spread out Inside the 25-yard line, as in
rnldftpld. It has been possible In the
lest two seasons for certain teams to
gain ground fairly consistently by run?
ning plays up the field, but once inside
the C.Vyard line th?- defence tightened
up to such an extent, because there was
little or no ne?*d to guard against the
fer-ward pass and on-s1de kick, that last
resort measures In the way of drop or
place kicks were necessary to bring
about a score. I'nder the new ruling an
attacking team will have as much play?
ing power inside the '23-yard line as In
the centre of the field, because of the
danger zone of ten yards behind the goal
posts. This automatically will spread
out the defensive backs and keep them
away from the line of scrimmage. In
short words, it removes an almost In?
surmountable handicap which the of?
fensive side has had to face once it got
althin striking distance of an opponent's
goal line.
The ."?-yard zone for kicking and pass?
ing back of the line of scrimmage was
retained, but. as said before, the 20-yard
zone was eliminated so that a pass of
any distance can be made. All pro?
visions, however, with reference to in?
terference with the man receiving the
pass will still apply, but of course in
all parts of the field, with this qualifi?
cation, that in case of a kick these re?
strictions are eliminated.
This it was suggested might lead to
som? misunderstanding and some pen?
alties when a pass possibly was mad.?
after a fake kick, but it was pointed out
by one member of the committee that
tho defensive back will not find it profit
?'?le to block off or dump an end until
he is reasonably sure that a kick or a
pass will lie made. It may be necessary
for officials to Inflict some penalties, but,
On the whole, it will regulate Itself from
the necessity of playing the ball and not
the man.
Onaida Kick Eliminated.
The third rhanKe of prime Importance
was the elimination of the onside kick. It
bas ever been an unsatisfactory and hap?
hazard play, if for no other reason than
because of the physical proportions of the
hall, which make it do strange things when
it hits the ground. The outstanding rea?
son, however, for doing away with the
play was to encourage a running game.
Hhort punts can be made, of courae, aa
heretofore, but the ball will not be onside
until touched by an opposing player.
The defence waa further weakened by
removing to some extent the unfairneaa to
tha attacking aide of the teuer?back. Here?
tofore the ball waa brought out and put In
play on the 25-yard Une, but, following the
suggestion excluatvely made ?vnd advocated |
la Tha Tribuna, the ball will now be put in]

The Intermission between the first and
second, and third and fourth quarters on ce
more was reduced, this time from tero
minutes to one minute. A year ago It was
?educe.1 from three minutes to two min?

plenty of time t?. change the ball about
fr'im one end of the field to the other and
would give the players a breathing Bpell,

A number of minor changea wer.- do?
? ided on and will he incorporated In the
rules. Chief of these, perhaps, was the
working of an ethical reform by reducing
the number of men who may walk Up
and down the side lines during a game
from three to ?.ne. This whs decided on to
discourage, so far as possible, unfair coach?
Ing from the side !ln?s.
Committee to Frame Rules.
No effort was made lo frame the rules
which will embody the changes made. This
delicate t;isk was left to a codifying com?
mittei'. made up of Welter (?iiiip. Isle;

A VOtS of iliaiik.s was extended to Dr.
James A. Babbitt, of Haverford, ?hair
man of the central board of officials, for
the work of that board, which has come to
be exceedingly valuable In the opinion of
every member of the committee.
Such good news came to Mr. Camp from
the bedside of his daughter, who la un?
covering from an operation, that be was
able to stay until the meeting adjourned.
None of the member?- eared t.? be quoted
on what sffed the changes would have

and that the game next fail would he Let?

Word ha!? been received from a man who
Is In a posttlon to know that H. H. Hilton
Is contemplating returning here shortly.
fl has been generally understood sesf
since the dSppCC Briton ?lifted'' the Have
m?yer cup at Apawamra last September
thai he would come back to defend It In
1912. Not long since he wrote Silas H.
Strawn. president of the 1'nlted States QoM
Association, to the effect that a party of
Itrittsh amateurs would -nme over to have
a try in the championship. Th* letest In
?hi> line, however. Is that Hilton may get
laik h-*?e In March. In time to touch at
[a few of the Southern links. In the event
of the British and American title holder
reaching these shores 'n March he would
be in time to take part in the North and
South championship at Plnehurst. the latter
part of that month.
With Hilton here In th? spring, home tal

fu';.' realizing that the man from HsglakS
?TOOld be certain to undergo a more careful
pr? jaraMon than wh?n here before. It will
be remembered that last fall he was kept
j ?*n the Jump from the moment he stepped
'off the steamer. He only played Ani
wamls two or three rourlds prior to the

he gl'. es himself more time to familiarize
