REVISED RULES.
The Committee Recommends Im-
portant Changes.
Prof. Stagg, of Chicago University,
Prof. Everett,, of the University of
Illinois, yesterday gave out for pub-
lication the revision of the football
rules. While the committee has om-
pleted its revision of the playing voles'
t asks that it be not discharged at
present as it is intended to make cer-
tain recommendatiors for the instcrue-
tion and direction of the officials of
the game, and perhaps to rearrange
and index the rules as a whole.
In its report the committee expIlains
its purposes in making the thorough
revision of the rules. It says:
"After careful consideration of the
rules it was deemed advisable to make
a thorough revision. This -was found
necessary owing to the presce eof
several obsolete rules, sonie contra-
dictory ones, many atmbiguous or in-
adequate and a number of which act-
ually needed to be chatged for the
good of the game. Your comnittee
o orked along the following plan:
"1. To make as few changes as pos-
sible of the vitai points of the game.
2, To make such changes in the rules
governing the game as woold reduce
the chances of injury without destroy-
ing the nature of the game. 3. Te so
change certain rules as to reduce the
occasion and the opportunities for

course may be made to any play Per-

Rule 30 is changed in the hope that
it will encourage the substitution of
fresh men for tired out or injured
players, and so prevent seriousF in-
juries.
"If a player be disqualified a sub-
stitute shall take his place. A ilayer
may le suhstitnted for anotto-rat any
time. A player thus replaced cannot
return to furtlier participation in the
game."
The rule ini regard to scoring tas
been changed materially. and now is:
"The following shall be the value of
ach point in the scoring: Goal ob-
tained by touchdown, 5; goal from
field kick, 4' goal from place kick, 3;

present table of scoring is unfair. By
it it is possible for a clearly inferior
scoring team sometimes to tie another
superior in everything except goo I
kii'king. It is too mueh to al v two
points for a goal from a touchidoswn
and a goal from the field certainly
rarely should merit counting miore
peints than a touchdon n. A goal
from a plac) lick is easier to 'imake
