Match 17. —The football kickoff goes back to the kicker's 40 yard line without a tee this year. This was one of seven! mod ill. :'t ion s rati fled by the football rules committee at its meeting here Saturday. In 1924, as an experiment, the kickoff was made from midfield without a , tee. This resulted in many kickoff's carrying behind the defenders’ goal lines from which point they could be brought out to the 2-0-yard line without a struggle. The change back to the 40 yard line without a tee was made in the hope that fewer kickoff's would go behind the goals and that therefore there would be livelier action in running back the kickoffs. There is also a new penalty rule for offside play. The penalty is still five yards, but the "downs" and distance to be gained remain the same as before the commission of the offense. By a further change in the rules, any kick blocked before passing the lin of scrimmage belongs to the side which recovers the ball. But, if the ball be recovered by the kicking side the play counts as a down. Heretofore if the kicking side recovered a blocked kick it received the benefit of a first “down.” On partially blocked kicks which pass the line of scrimmage it has been decided they shall bo played i as though the ball had not been [ touched. That is. the defending side must touch the ball before the attacking side is eligible to recover it. The rule is designed to relieve the officials of the necessity for guesswork in melee plays where a kick is touched in the line of scrimmage and then goes on to fall behind the defending team. In the past it ha.s been almost, impossible to say which side blocked the kick or who touched. it first. It is a very technical provision, but one that the officials all asked for and which they easily will understand. Because one of the Army's players went through two plays with a broken foot in a game last fall, refusing to signal for help from his bench because'he was afraid that he would be taken out of the game, a rule was adopted permitting the Moe for or trainer of a team to go on the field whenever he wished to. to attend a player, without first calhching the attention of the officials. After running on the gridiron he must re-

port Io the referee and then may go j hi his player. In the Army iieuniic. the trainer - (tent several ruinate < t signalling to Ihe referee from the ■ side lines for permission to t o to his , player, who v.n > seen to lu> limpin' . I Hereafter the captain who wins y the toss before the start of the game , tuny choose the goal that he wants I to defend or choose between kicking amt receiving, but can't choose both as in the past If the winner of a to: ? f. chooses a goal ho must let flm oilier • icaptain decide whether ho wants to I kick or receive! Or the one who has f | called the toss of the coin may choose f between kickin'*. and receiving, In which case he mils! let the other one , select the goal. i Clipping is to Im punishable by n [tonally of 25 yards from the [mint of ■ the foul. In the past the penalty wa ■ ■ 15 yards, and the captain of the offended team could decide whether it 1 should be measured from the point ' where the ball was in play or from where the foul was committed. 'l'he so-called Harvard shoulder pad ’ a leather armor moulded to the shape of the shoulder, is taboo. Henceforth ’ there must he wadding on the outside of the pad. The old rule said the wadding on tin 1 outside had Io bo as thick as that on the inside of the pad. and Harvard did away with inside wadding in order to be able to present hard leather shoulders to the enemy. Nohting was done about changing the rule of the point after touchdown It was decided to recommend that the quarters of high school games be limited to 12 minutes. Two old rules. 17 years on the book, were abolished. One was Uie anti flying Jackie rule, and the other pro | vided that all tackles must strike above the knees. These points are now covered in other rules.
