Few Changes In Football ; Rules For This Season ! By HEZE CLARK (United Press Service) Indianapolis. Sept. 15.—With slight , changes. football will bo played this fall under the regulations governing the gridiron game in 1822. The most important alteration is the elimination of the ••on-aide" kick. No player of the kicker's side even if he was behind the kicker may recover the bull until It has teuihed an opponent .except in iase the ball did not cross the line of scrimmage. For many years, coaches have been fighting to get the "on side" kick put out of the game, while other coaches have contended that the kick should be retained because of the possibilities for trick plays. However, it is pointed out that there will be many tricks developed where the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage, and therefore can be captured and carried by a player of the kicker's side who kicked the ball or who was behind a player when is was kicked. There has been a slight chauge it: | the rule governing where certain penalties are inflicted. Another rule, where new wording makes the meaning clear to officials and players is that of the infliction of penalties for fouls occurring after t touchdown. touchback. or safety. I; is made plain that i fa foul is committed following a totndtdown and before the occurrence of another play, the penalty shall be inflicted from the spot of the succeeding kickoff. or if following a touchback, or safety, the penalty shall be from the spot of the succeeding play. The position of players on and behind the scrimmage line has been stated more clearly, and the same is ' true in regard to “players in motion | before the ball is snapped. A splendid feature of this y-ar’s football rules is the section devoted to “approved rulings" which will be a real help to gridiron officials It will improve the officiating and therefore will make football more interesting to both players and the public. — o NATIONAL GUARD FOOTBALL TEAM Warsaw, Sept. 15. —Company L.

'grid MATERIAL SCARCE AT BLUFFTON THIS YEAR Blufftou, Sept. 16.—With only nine- ‘ teen candidates from which to pick ' a football team, Coach Rippe is a litj tie worried this year over his chances of getting together a combination that will be able to finish the season. The boys who have been practicing the past week have been doing their work well, but after tho regular eleven is picked, only nine men will be left to fill substitute positions, and most of this number will be too light in weight to effectively till any position ' on the team. Barring accidents that may befall the first string men, the team may be able to complete the schedule, but if many of the boys are forced out of the lineup, the rest of the schedule may have to be cancelled. The first game of the season will be played Friday, September 28. at Muncie. - o Roadhouse Is Raided ■ II»-——* — Warsaw, Sept. 15. Federal prohibition enforcement officers raided iht Keech hotel, located at Milford Junction. last night and confiscated a large quantity of bottled moonshine labeled as bonded whiskey. Mike Keech, proprietor, was arrest-, ed on a charge of liquor law violation. The hotel was said by the prohibition agents to be one of the most notorious roadhouses in north ten tral Indiana. Surgeon Killed In Airplane Dayton, 0., Sept. 15. —A broken wing on his airplane sent Major E. L. Napier, flight surgeon at McCook field, to instant death here today. His plan-' hurled to earth from an altitude of 1.500 feet. Major Napier, McCook field officer said .apparently tried to leave the plane in a parachute when a wing support snapped. Miss Vera Eady went to Ft. Wayne to spend the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kruge. The Fourth Down By Willie Punt I Several enlhausiastic fans were on 1 the sidelines at Ahr's Field yesterday evening and save their throats a workout while Coaches Uowanl and Confer sent their teams through n twen-ty-minute practice game. Although scoring was not the main objective of the two coaches and in spite of the fact that both of them stood right with their teams and | coached them, the scrimmage was a I sweet morsel to the fans who are anxious to see a football game. Both coaches gave all their players a chance in the scrimmage. Coach i Howard's Yellow Jackets handled I their plays nicely and the line was opening up pretty holes in the opposition for the backfield men. They made nice off-tackle* drives, end runs and passes. The Catholic high boys are making fine progress under the direction of I Coach Confer. Yesterday’s scrimmage wa s the first for every member of the squad, but they followed the Yellow Ja< kets' plays fairly well and above all. showed plenty of fight. One of last year's subs who. is coming to the front for the Yellow Jackets this year, is Breiner. Several times yesterday he broke through the line and downed the man carrying the ball [ before he had hardly started. Only nineteen candidates cut for I the Bluffton team. Looks like a tough.
