Reform in Football,
NEW YOFK, Jan. sir—Three sug-
gestions for the reform of football
will he chief in consideration of the
rules committee which meets here
«the rules for the coming season. The
present rules. many coaches and cap:
talus declare, make scoring too dim
cult. and goive too great an advantage
to the. eleven on the defensive to make
lth sport. To remdy’this condition. the
following changes have been suggest-
ed:
Limit the tors a-rd pass to behind the
line of scrimmage with restriction.
increase the number of downs by
one. or decrease the-distance to be
gained from ten to five yards.
‘ Lessen the advantages of slouch
back to the defending side.
Other suggestions to be taken up
by the committee are to make possi-
ble the identity of players on the field
backs of their sweaters, and to rule
goal.
