The new code, adopted after a three-day session by representa tives of the national collegiate and high school groups, will go into effect next season. Although spectators will see few appreciable changes in the game, the work of coaches, game officials and even players will be highly simplified and their understanding of play made easier, said William J. Bingham of Harvard, chairman of the National Colleg ate Rules Committee. In general, the new rules provide I—An artificial tee will be permitted during any place-kick (Including try for field goals or try for point.) 2—When a scrimmage kick touches something behind the re ceivers' goal line, the ball will be come dead immediately regard less of whether it has been touch_ ed in the field of play. 3—lf the first free kick is out of bounds, it will be kicked again. If the second such kick is out of bounds, the ball will be awarded to the receivers on their free kick line (usually the 50-yard line). 4—Penalty for any infraction of the substitution rule will be five yards. s—Teams will be permitted twenty-five seconds for the hud dle and getting the ball into play. 6—lf any foul, such as an en croachment or delay of the game, occurs near the time of snap, the referee will be authorized to blow his whistle to kill the ball only when the infraction occurs early enough to give the referee a reasonable chance to prevent th snap. If the infraction is too late for this, the referee will with hold his whistle and allow the play to go through. 7—Penalties will be enforced in accordance with "3 and 1" method of enforcement. This means that the basic spot of enforcement of a foul is at the spot where the ball becomes dead. The basic spot of enforcement for a foul which occurs while the ball is loose during a kick, pass or fumble) is at the previous spot where the ball was snanne-d or fre , -kicked. CHANGE POSITIONS B—There will be no restriction to prohibit a center, guard or tackle from changing positions with a backfield player during any down. When such a lineman takes a position one yard or more behind the line, he becomes a back and has all the privileges of any other back. 9—Handing the ball forward will not be considered a forward pass. In a pass, the ball must ac tually leave the hand of the pass er and travel in flight. When the ball is merely handed to a team mate it is illegal in certain situa tions behind the line. When il legal it will carry a penalty of five yards. cide whether or not a boy is ready for national competition." Fred Smith. regular Lion 125- pound starter, was unable to make the trek to Madison when he could not lose enough weight to compete in the 112-mound di vision. TEE FOR FIELD GOALS 10—If a forward pass touches an ineligible player, the ball will remain in play. At the end of the down, the penalty will be en forced or declined. Also, if a for ward pass touches an ineligible player in or behind the line it is treated as a type of illegal pass which carries a penalty of five yards and loss of down. 11—Any number of substitu tions will be permitted while the ball is dead and the clock is not running. On a dead ball, with the clock running one substitute may enter a college game and two may enter a high school game. 12—A field goal may be scored by any drop kick or place kick during a kick from scrimage or during any free kick other than the kick-off. 13—Right to advance a recov ered kick is determined by whether the kick is recovered be hind the scrimmage line or be yond it.
