' U A CHANGE Free for All Scramble Will Be Eliminated From. Football Next Year. (Calted Press Leased Wire.) New York, Jan. 5. The wild and free-for-all scramble following a fum bled forward pass is to bs eliminated from football next season by . a rule paaaed today at the meeting of the American Intercollegiate football rules committee, .in session nere. wo otner lmDOrtant changes ware arreed iinnn. but Interest centers In doing away with the forward pass. While the new rule hag not yet been put in formal - lan guage, the changes involved are: . In tuture tne xorwaru pass, which is ram bled after having been legally touched by a member of theteam mult in at the piay, win go to tne opponent at tn snot where the naea la made nrniHdei the ball is recovered by the side not msaing tne paaa. an order to prevent the indiscriminate scramble which waa the feature of last season's rules, the new ruie provides mat only tne man who f lust legally touches the bait may thereafter recover It If ha fumbles, un til it has been touched by an opponent. To define lust what a defending side may do in a forward pass, It was de cided that while the ball Is in the air the players on tha defending side may- use their hands and arms only in getting their opponents out of the way to get at the ball Itself. The play ers on the side maklnsr the van who are unable to receive It may use their hands Just as players going down field on a kick. ' Another change resulting from the trouble In .. the - Yale-Princelon rama when the former team remained off the field 14 minutes,: changes the intermis sion 1 time from 10 to 1 14 mtnaf.. anA ?rovides that the referee shall let each earn know S minutes in advance of the time they are due on ' the field. -1 It waa also decided that the score in all forfeited games shall be one to nothing, this particular score being used because it could be earned in no other way in football.
