S! 1 CLASSIFICATION OF RULES “ONLY HELD TO BE NEEDED Committee, at Meetings Today and Tomorrow, Will Get Many Suggestions, But Probably Will Do Nothing Except Iron Out Rough Spots. i BY LAWRENCE PERRY. HILE the toot ball rules committec which meets in New York toaay and tomorrow will have a raft of suggested changes to consider, it is altogether unlikely that a single drastic altera- be made. Speaking generally, the game as it stands is popular h players and followers of the sport alike, and when you have such a ition it is not wise to tamper with the playing cod On the other hand, the officials demand certain clarifications as e sential to the perfotmance of their duties, and there may be no doubt that all representations of the sort will be studied with great attention and in a majority of cases granted. For cxample, clipping penaltles will undoubtedly be dealt with by the foe e el o o AUSEON G SRS U Doin whera tho bail was put 1n piav. | DAVIS CUP TENNIS PLAY in all other cases that come to the writers mind the penalty is inflicted from the spot of the foul and it ~hould be in the case of clipping. Just xhy will be made clear by the follow- b othetical instance: Penalty May Falil to Help. A punts down field. B gets the ball say some forty yards from the spot where the punt was delivered and at- <empts to run it back. One of the B team clips a member of A team. Now if the 15-yard penalty is imposed as the rule reads it will be brought back to the place wh the ball was kicked and the penal of fifteen vards then impt d agi t B. This doesn’t help A very much, for in spits | of the penalty B gets what amounts 70 & 25-yard run back of a kick, obvious resort of the A tezm is to dc- cline the penalty. Or to take an incident which is not hypothetical, which _actually hap- pened. In the Michigan-Minnesota | Zame Michigan intercepted a Minne- sota forward pass. man who intercepted the ball started up field u teammate clipped a Gopher player from behind. In this case the refcree ook the law into his own hands and *mposed the penalty from the point where the ball was intercepted. H Arnother point which will be brought up by members of the west- ern conference relates to the ball be- ng dead. The rule now holds that tho ball is dead when any portion of the player's person except his hands and feet touches the ground while he s in the grasp of an opponent, or is o held that his forward progress is stopped. Now on a muddy fleld play- ors are apt to slide several yards for- ward after being tackled. Shall that slide be included in the gain?
