(This is the fifth of & series of dispatches by Mr. Camp interpreting the chaagos in the foot ball rules.) E\\" YORK, April 5—One of the most drastic steps taken by the foot ball rules committee to prevent “stalling” was the giving of arbitrary power to the referce to refuse to take time out when, his judgment, a team attempts unfairly to gain time by sendifg in sub stitutes or by other means. Another rule which is expected to have quite on efforts to delay the game is that which provides 2 more severe penalty for captain taking time out too frequently in a half. Under the old rule, a captain could take time out three times in a half without penalty. Thereafter, a pen- alty of two yards was inflicted for each taking of time out. The new rule allows time out four times in a half, but makes the penaity for addi- tional delays five yards for each of- fense. The committse also voted to at- thorize the field judge to increase h\s sphere of operations by assisting thy referee and other officials in the mal ter of determining fouls. A special lcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Var- nell. Okeson, and Morice, was named to draft a more definite extension of | the duties of this official, to be acted upon at the 1925 meeting. The 1924 referee probably will “pack” a gun—not to enforce his de- crees, but to use in place of his whis- tle to indicate the expiration of a period. Committee members from the Pacific coast reported that the public out there was much pleased at the in- novation of pistol shots to mark the end of periods, and it was generally understood that the practice would be brought east. It always has been a bit confusing not to know whether the referee's whistle was for tiue out or for the end of a period.
