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

CORK, Ireland At a hearing

"the city has simply gone mad on

and j children and something

craze had even penetrated into the
pupils of the public schools.

must be back of the line of scrim
mage, j It will help avoid misun
derstandings and squabbles.
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
