Wood Icon in many hard fights and Ito be fully ablo to take care of High Scores Will Under the New NOTHER exiwrltnental season of football Is at hand, and grid Iron coaches are now In n quandnry about how the ro- vihlou of rules Is going to adapt Itself In actual combat. The 0110 thing that the now rules, which were published recently, aim to do, most of nil, Is to strengthen the game's nttnek and en courage more scoring. In trying to tccompllsh this purpose the rules have been changed so that the defense has been opened up, and a decided advantngo has been given to the of fensive tenm. Football men who have tried to an ticipate tho results of the new rules believe that this season will see many high scores. Tho number of dowus for gaining tho required ten yards has been Increased from throo to four. This Is sure to promoto the rushing game which spectators havo missed In the new game. With four chances to gain a distance, the season Is apt Photo by American Proas Association. CAPTAIN WENDELL OP tlAIWAnD, WHO IS ' EXPECTED TO MAKE Q It IS AT NAME FOB IIIMSELP THIS BKASON. to see many plunging back field men, as under tlio old game. Although tho rushing game Is being encour aged by this change, the old push and I pull and objectionable formations will I not mar this feature of tho sport. Another change which will promoto scoring Is tho elimination of the twen ty yard zone, which has heretofore limited tho flight of tho forward pass. Within tlio twenty yards a team could build up a defense which made an at tempt at a forward pass a dangerous play. For this reason the possibili ties of tho forward pass havo never been fully developed by football coaches because of tho slim chance of getting It through a defense which was concentrated within twenty yards of the scrimmage lino. Under the new rales tho forward pass may bo thrown for nny distance, and it will bo Interesting to watch what a tricky and versatile team like the Carllslo Indians will develop with a play of such wldo possibilities. So, with tho widening out of tho defense nnd additional power given to tho rushing game, it Is very likely that tlio football crowds during tho com ing season will see enough scoring to mako up for all tho no score ties of tlio last few years. It Is easy to iercclvo that tho game should Ik more attractive. Under tho system of tho big teams of last sea son n team would try to rush the ball once, and If they failed to gain tho second play would bo a punt. If a team approached tho other's goal lino nnd had but ono down left sometimes a forward poss was attempted as a last resort, but tho attempt was seldom successful because of tho compact de fense which could Imj built up within tho twenty ynrd zono. Under tho latest revision a plung ing halfback may smash Into tho lino four times to gain his distance. This is tho featuro of tho old game that tho football public wants to see back again. After all, thero was no more thrilling play on tho gridiron than to seo tho sturdy, stock halfback take tho ball and dlvo through tho opening which his guard or tacklo had mado for him. It means additional work for tho ends, becauHo with four chances at rushing tho old end plays nro likely to corao back into favor. Ono thing seems to bo quite certain this sea son's games will not bo a punting duel between n couplo of accomplished kickers, with two lines of woll drilled men pushing against each other with no chanco whatever to over rush tho ball. Tho football doctors havo tried to mako tho gamo as much llko tho old gamo used to bo as possible with Many Star Athletes to Quit. Ralph Craig has announced that he Is through with athletics and Tol Berna of Cornell university says 'he has run his lost raco; Bobby Korr, ono of Canada's greatest sprinters, Is through on tho cinder path, and Georgo Gouldlng, tho world's champion Walker, says he will quit tills fall. 8lx Day Bike Race In Toronto. Toronto Is to havo n six day bicycle race week of Oct 21. It will bo the Brat of tho kind ever held In Canada. ft A 1 Be In Evidence Football Rules out nny of the objectionable rough and dangerous tnetlcK. A change which would make the for wnrd pass a valuable scoring play pro vides for a ten yard zone behind the goal lines for the forward pass. Here tofore a forward pass over the goal lino was Illegal, while now It can be tossed anywhere over tho line for n distance not more than ten yards be hind tho goal line. This extra ten ynrd zono behind the lines has necessi tated a change in the length of tho gridiron. Heretofore tho Held has al ways lx?en 110 ynrds long. The actual playing field has been reduced to 100 ynrds, while the additional ton yards behind the lines make tho Odd In reality 120 yards Ions;. Tho onslde kick has been eliminated from tho game, and no one regrets this change, because that piny never lent Itself to many possibilities. The play was one which only n skilled kicker could execute with any degree of safety. Tho place of tho klckoff hos also been changed, tlio ball going into piny now from tho forty ynrd lino, or rather sixty yards from tho opposing goal lino. This chango was made so that after tho kick tho ball will go Into play nearer tho middle of the field. Often when tho ball was kicked off from mldtlcid It went Into piny close to a team's own goal lino, which put It to a disadvantage. After n touchback n new rule provides that tho ball will go Into play on tlio twenty ynrd line Instead of tho twenty-five ynrd line. Another new rulo gives tho team which loses tho toss at the beginning of the game the same advantage nt tho beginning of tho second half. There will bo no delny between the noriods. tho time between tho first ' nnd second and tlio third and fourth ' periods having been cut down to one minute. The rushing, scoring game Is further encouraged by tho Increase of the value of a touchdown from 4 to 0 ' points. A touchdown and goal will now count 7 points. This change was done so that a team making a touch down nnd goa-1 would havo an advan tage in the final score over a team which has only n star drop kicker 1 who can boot tho ball over the cross bar from anywhere Inside tho forty yard line. A touchdown Is equal now to tho value of two field goals. Another chango In the rules which will bo appreciated by spectators Is the rulo which allows but one coach on tho side lines. Last season saw sev eral instances of coaches hurrying up and down tho side lines distracting the attention of players and spectators. Now only ono coach will bo nllowed on tlio sldo lines. Thero will lo no more fluko drop kicks such as tho ono by which Prince ton defeated Dartmouth last season Photo by American Pross Association. CAPTAIN TED PENDLETON OP PltlNCKTON, WHO SHOULD SHINE UNDEIl NEW ltULEH. by a score of 3 to 0. This attempt at Held goal was a miserable failure, tho ball rolling some dlstanco along tho ground. As it nppronched tho goal post tho ball struck on its end and bounded over tho posts. Referee Bill Langford allowed the goal, although It was not covered by tho rules. Tho rulos now cover such a situation, however, and thu.ball must be booted over tho crossbar fairly. Although It Is not actually known how the new rules will work out, tho changes this icasou aro moro radical than In many years nnd nro of such a naturo that tho defonso Is somewhat weakened and tho attack strengthened. Tho sweeping changes, many football coaches predict, will result In an open rushing gamo, with plenty of chances for scoring cither by runs or clovor manipulation of tho unrestricted for ward pass. Baler Strengthened the Cubs. Tho reason why tho Cubs kept tip In tho raco this year, and ono thnt hasn't to do with Archer, Zimmerman, Tinker or Brers, Is tho markod im provement of Victor Saler as a first baecman and his strong batting.
