Walter Camp, Yale head advisory football foot-ball coach, who has been editing tbc j football rules for thia fall, saj's bis : task is finished. From the changes in j the code it is certain that the conservatives conserva-tives havo carried the day, and that there will be no revolutionary changes from the rules which were put into effect .last fall. The most important alteration is the clause which provides for a penalty of fifteen yards for a i dropped forward pass if the error is J J marlo on the first or second down. Last ; year the ball went to the other aide. Two umpires are mado obligatory to I free the game from the last vestige of I roughness. It is made clear that any lineman may carrv the ball, provided ; ho does not leave his place in tho line till the ball is put in play. In the case I of a kick out after the safety the op- I j ponents must line up on the thirty-five ! I instead of tho twenty-five-yard line. j Three of Yale's football ofticials are j busily engaged on the plans for the 1 I season, Mr. Camp, E. -1. Thompson. j whose position is in the nature of ' I graduate manager, and Trainer Mack, , who is constructing a new cinder path i at the ate Hem tor uie track men. and who is getting the gridiron in shape for tho advent or tho candidates this moiith.
