taken up which really should have been and well sooner It has been possible coaches that a man by thewhen recognized a long forward on the defense is made say one of 30 or 40 yards pass to be If he finds that he ia not going the ball able to reach the point where so as to be able to intercept is thatfalling pass to profitably take a chance with with the penalty by interfering to receive that the man who is likely to let it be completed passtherather than of a touchat very evident forrisk indown The penalty IS such illegal Conseterference was only wereyards a longer one if the pass quently it was very evidentthat distance than to practice this illegal inprofitable This ly been terference possibility has a of rule the passage eliminated now case by of interferwhich in such illegal ence will give the passer’s side possession of the ball at the point wherethe This interference occurred benefit illegal while it will not give the fullfrom the have secured that they might of the pass will at any rate completion go far toward giving them a very dis tlnct gain and thus will militate of the against this taking advantage rules The other was point in the forward taken up and which pass rule handled was that regarding properlv declination of penalties Hitherto the under the forward pass the penalties could not be declined even though rule It were manifestly toto the disadvantage of the offended side have the penalty enforced For instance a forward pass Is made nearer to the line of scrimmage Illegal and the than 5 yards this isNow It is possible ball is called back pass may have been that that illegalone of the opponents Intercepted by resulted Unand a long run may have offended side der the old ruling the could not decline this penalty and the run therefore went for good playAsand it stands now any penalty naught under the forward pass rule may be declined by thenotoffended toside this of course does lncompieted apply passes Another very excellent provision was one that has been needed for a long a game is played under time When conditions the ball espebad weather is half over the time the game by cially as lead with water and re Is heavy sembles a greased pig far more than a football But no provision It does for has ever been made In the rulee the second period with a new starting ball A rule has therefore been made at the discretion of the referee the that teams may have a new ball with which to start the third period tin-dergo- ing I iin-porta- Matter of Substitutes For a long time there has been a among good feeling the country sportsmen that the throughout to act more rules committee ought on the matter of sending in vigorously of substitutes for the mere purpose from the coach conveying Instructions few have howto the players Very ever realized the difficulty of making such legislation reallv effective any The trouble is that the coach Is usually with the substitutes on the side line that in the progand it is only natural ress of the play he should keep up a as to the mistakes in running comment and other matters that preJudgment sent themselves to his keen and pracis going on ticed eye while the no matter Hence it Is Inevitableplay that what rules were made any one of these substitutes being sent in would at least carry into the game the ideas of the coach as to the way the play was beand the general tactics The ing run that has grown most marked is thing the rushing In of a substitute whenever a critical period in the game to tell the quarter-hac- k comes telling him what play to use next The committee has Heretofore taken action on and has made a this particular point rule forbidding an Incoming substitute to communicate in any way with the until after the ball has been players therefore a subput In place Unless stitute be quarter Is sent In Instructions cannot conveyed except by means of or illicit eome underground underand the committee hopes in standing a curb upon the practhis way to put tice If the man for whom the substitute is sent in is the course have then the substitute will of quarterback of giving the signal the opportunity even but then he may not for the with any of the players consult play The methods by which a field goal be secured have received the necessarv clarification A goal from the fielii a place may now be scored only kick It wasbynecessary kick or a drop further

fraternity adrift and has refused to have any 'more dealings with any organization of ball players this move does not put the fraternity out of business by any means The fraternity will not disband This fact was made known by one of the officials of the organization last week It will continue to work for the welfare of the player In the hope that some day the executive heads of the game will see the merits of the In another light With organization any possibility of getting recognition from the national commission as an organization vanished the fraternity will endeavor to carry out Its objects In other ways The players’ side of the question as stated by one of them recently Is merely this: ‘The player Is well satisfied with existing conditions” he said “It isn’t for better conditions at present that he is striving for lie want to plan for the future Because the player Is treated well today does not Insure him that he will be treated so well if unlooked for conditions should arise What the ball player wants more than anything else is to have some recognition and some voice in conducting his own affairs Thq player is the biggest factor In the game and yet he has absolutely nothing to say In baseball affairs” This recent baseball strike has set many minds working about the future of the game If the fraternity sticks at together and strengthens all It will always carry a threat for the club owners The agitation which developed the past during year against the makeup of the national commission to come up at any time again is liable One stated during the pastprominent week thatplayer he believed that the Players would be entirely satisfied if the national commission should be reorganized in a way whereby Its membership ashould be Increased so as t include representative of the ball players The players of the fratemltv believe that w'hcn the commission sits to decide thenational baseof fate ball the latter should have some players on the board representation Some time In the fture many baseball players predict the national commission will have a chairman who will be entirely neutral and will not be connected with the gsme In any wav It is also believed that league and minor league playersmajor should on such a board have representation Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburgh suggested plan for a new national commission a which provided for a board whose members were in no way connected with the game claims that the present board Dreyfuss is unconsciously prejudiced in many cases He does not think that presidents should decide cases league
