Ungemack was the hero of the
battle. He played an errorless game
in the field accepting nine chances
without an error. He was on the

NEW YORK Sept. 22.—A change
in the football rules for 1924. which
permits the receiving eleven to be
behind a line ten yards in front of
the point. from which the kickoff is
made no matter what yard line is
chosen by the kicking team. was an-
nounced today by Chairman E. K.
Hall. of the American Intercollegiate
Football Rules committee.
in 1923 and for several years pre-
should kick off from “its own 49
yard line at a point equidistant from
the side lines." At the meeting of the
Rules committee last February the
kicking point was placed at midfield.
artificial tees were abolished and the
opposing eleven was restrained on its
own 40 yard line.
It was then suggested that on a
muddy field it might be difi'icult to
get away a. good kick. without the
use of an artificial tee and accord-
inglv the rule was. changed to pro-
vide that the kickoff might be made
from the middle of the field or "any
point directly back of it." thus mak-
ing it possible to go back such dis-
tance as might be necessary to get
a. firm spot for the kick.
Immediately coaches and omcials
foresaw a result that might cause
some serious gridiron situations this
fall. The rules were studied closely.
and it was learned that while the op-
posing team was restrained on its
40 yard line the kicking eleven
might retreat to any part of its ter-
ritory. directly behind the center of
the midfield line. make a short kick
and recover the ball itself at mid-
field. the kicking team being permit.
ted to recover after the bw has
travelled ten yards.
A telegraphic poll of the Rules
committee members was taken and
the situation was relieved legally by
lifting the 40 yard line restriction on
the receiving eleven. Th. reaching-
may new range ten yards from tn.

STAMFORD. Sept. 2.—
Fast backfield play by the Stam-
ford High football team and good 09
fensive work by the line gave the.
locals a victory in their opening
game for 1924 against Curtis High
of Staten Island at Halloween Park
Saturday afternoon. by the one-sided
score of 24 to 0. The, black jersied
players had possession of the pig-
skin more than half the time of
play. A crowd of 500 watched the
game. Curtis High's playing in the
backfield was slow when shift plays
were called and the men seemed to
be unfamiliar with the signals. the
quarterback having to start his series
over several times on numerous oc-
casions. The line was good at times
and although it outweighed the lo-
cal's forward men its tackling was
hard. The local backfield men did
not have much opposition when it
Curtis High kicked off to start the
local season and after several first
downsthe home team had the ball
kick. The pigskin zig-zaggcd back
and forth. with Stamford having it
most of the time. Bill took Olsen's
place at right guard during this per-
iod and played well while he was in
the game. In this quarter particul-
arly the visitors had trouble with
the manner in which the quarter-
back yelled the signals and he had
to repeat them on several occasions.
One long pass was worked by Stam-
ford being the only exciting play in
the initial period.
Coach Michael Boyle of the High
Schoolteam showed his sportsman-
like character during the second
quarter. The period opened with
Stamford having the ball in Curtis'
territory on the “loud line. Giov-
annucci slid off tackle . for eight
yards. Bella made five and first
down through the center of the line.
Scalzl added six more by right
tackle. He took another wide run
around ris'bt end and moved the ball
20 yards more nearer the Curtis goal
line. LiVolsi was held without a gain.
Bella made two in the middle ot’ the
line. On the next play Scalai car—
ried the ball over. going around
left end.
While Scalsi was carrying the ball
the referee blew the whistle for a
Curtis man off-side. According to
the rules the Stamford team could
take the penalty or the gain. Instead

a big hole of! :lght tackle and made

Four yards on the next play gave
the visitors one of the few first
downs they earned by rushing the
ball. Bella and Bliss broke up two
passes in succession. One yard was
all they could get around {he right

his own twenty-yard line and ran it
back twelve yards down the left rule

Scnlzi sent the boil down the field

the line and made nine yards. Four
yards more came past right tackle.
Three yards more then came

visitors and O'Shea made a long
punt. A Curtis played fell on the
ball on Stamford's forty—yard line.
It was Stamford's ball. Nine yards
