Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTE5IBER 11, 1925 NEW FOOTBALL REGULATIONS EXPECTED TO PEP UP GAME football Is ffjlng to be i lot 'More fan for the fellows in the stands this year, and for players as well, because the ball is to be -lacked from the 40-yard line tn lutead of from mldlleld. ' Last year two radical changes tin the kick-off were made. The tee which all good kickers used was declared illegal, and the ball wts kicked from the 50-yard line. Hi was thought - that eliminating the tee, and thus cutting down 'both height and distance tf the ball's flight. ' would compensate for the i 0-yard difference. I ! Bat it didn't. Repeatedly high nchool and college kickers, accus toming themselves - to a teeless ikkk-off, sent the ball over the goal line for a touchback. That meant that it was brought out to the 20-yard line and put in play. And 'one of the greatest thrills in football, the return of the kick off, was almost entirely eliminated from, the game. , 3 ln "only a few cases "Red" Grange's 93-yard run at jthe start of the Illinois-Michigan game was one of them were the spectators treated: to the colorfnl, thrilling sight of a man catching the ball, and ten others forming themselves into an interference in front of Mm t dash down, thefjeld.' So the Football rules committee, con ferring-' on 1925 rules, decided that henceforth kick-offs would be made from the 40-ysird line without the tee. A major 1 result of this rale change will be that 'teams will develop a strong kick-oft return. My teams are to devote la lot of time to running back kick-offs, for I believe this play wjll play a big part In the 1925 campaigns. I And it's going to make it a lot more fun for everybody, between the side tines and outside them,. : Another important rule .change is that affecting he penalty -when the defensive team is offisde.

The penalty on clipping has been standardized with the same purpose to avoid misunderstand ing. " When a man "clips" an op ponent that is, throws his body across: the legs of the other fellow from behind and brings him down his team is penalized 25 yards from the spot where the clipping took place. Last year the captain of the side against which the clip ping was committed had a choice of two penalties 15 yards from the paint of clipping, or 15 yards Irom the place where the play started. The new penalty is not necessarily more severe; but it is now standard, and will avoid trouble like that which came up in a! Minnesota-Michigan game two years ago when Michigan suf fered la mighty stiff penalty for clipping and thought the Minne sota j captain overstepped his rights. The new rule on blocked kicks is the: fairest yet devised. Its first provision is that a punted ball ! blocked behind the line of scrim mage j belongs to whichever side recovers it, but counts a down against the kickers if that side decovers. Formerly a blocked kick recovered by the kickers meant first down. - t On a party blocked kick which crosses the line of scrimmage, the ball is played exactly as if it had never been touched. This rule is intended as a clarification to pre vent misunderstandings like that which arose in the Michigan-Iowa game of 1923. Kipke of Michigan punted, and the ball tiped the fingers of Hancock of Iowr,, but went; far across the line of scrim- n l n tri T'hiv mariia it anvhnilv's Kail' under the old rule; but nobody sxcept one official and Jack Blott, Michigan center, had noticed that Hancock had touched the ball. Blott, like a flash, went down the Held after the punt, and finally "ell on it. making It Michigan's ball. It was a deciding play in the game; under the new rules, however, the ball would not be eligible for Michigan to tage until some; other Iowa player, other than; the blocker, had touched it. The prompt action of Howard lones, then Iowa coach, was all that saved serious trouble on that occasion. The spectators, think Ing U a "raw" decision, had be come furious and threatening; but Jones announced that the play was properly executed; and the crowd quieted. . Other new rules are of mirror Importance. One of them provides that trainers and doctors may go onto, the field as soon as a man is nun, reporting to reieree - or umpire before speaking to the man,; The old rule required doc tors and trainers to get permission from an official before stepping on the field, and in some cases like ;that last fall when an army player had to go through two plays with a badly smashed foot before the doctor could catch the umpire's eye, worked out badly. The "time out" rule has been altered slightly to provide that, when a man is Injured, time is called and a substitute goes ln, it counts as one of the team's four "times out" in the half unless the team has already called to speed up the game slightly. The recommendation of 'the rules committe that high school games be playedin four 12-mlnute quarter, instead of in 15-minute quarters, is a mighty wise one. The; average high school team Is not as husky and well-conditioned as a college or university team and; elevens of younger fellows should profit by this advice The rules- committee did well. In my opinion and that of all the coaches to whom I've talked, to limit their rules changes to d tails. There are always a lot of An Ideal Student Lamp t ! We have a limited supply.
