RULES OFFER
INTERESTING ANGLES
RULES TO BE EFFECTIVE THIS
FALL.
The following are the Interpreta-
tions of the Football Holes Commit-
tee on the latest changes In the foot-
ball rules t
I. When the defending team Is off-
side It will not have to fnee the dis-
advantage of the offensive team (fum-
ing first down unless the ienulty car-
ries the ball to or beyond the dis-
tance required for first down. This
removes nn unjust burden from the
defending tenm.
'.'. Hereafter the bull shall be kick-
ed off from the kicking team's 40-
yard" line but no tee shall be em-
ployed. This will prevent so many
kicks going over the goul for touch-
downs. 'X When.n kick is blocked by a
player of the kicker's side and doet
not go over the line of scrimmage the
ball goes to the side that recovers It
If the kicking team recovers it may
keep the ball nt the price of a down.
If the ball Is blocked by the defend
ing team not going over the line and
the kicking team recovers it may keep
the hall and a down charged excepted
on the fourth down and recovered
behind the Hue of scrimmage. On
purtlully blocked kicks that cross the
line of scilmmagc the ball shall be
played oh though It liad not been
touched.
4. Players need not have their
hand's on the t ground to be on side
since the scrlmmuge line has hern de-
fined us an Imaginary vertical line
passing through the middle of the ball
Instead of Hues druwn through thr
ends.
0. Physiclant and trainers may go
out on the field In event of Injury
without permission but must seport
to the referee.
6. A captain of a team winning
the toss now' may elect to receive th
klckoff choose to offend either goad
or do the kicking himself Formerly
be couM not choose to receive the
kick.
7. Penalty .for dipping' Increased
fsem IS to M yards front where he

The second game was typical of all
early season games full of errors mid
uneven piny. At limes the Hill Bil
lies would show good form nod then
they would make a ragged play that
would show that It was early season.
Since these were not T. I. A A.
games the Hill Billies didn't have to
give everything they had but Just try
to sec wiiii t extra tncy nan.
liclluiny started the game for Dnn-
IcJ Baker and was pitching good hull.
The team behind him allowed by their
loose playing the Plowboys to slip
upon them and gain a lead which they
were not able to overtake. Bellamy
was replaced In the fifth although
pitching good ball In an effort to
check the Tnrlcton boys. Alexander
a promising young southpaw from
Cleburne took duty in the Dili Inning
and with good support from the team
held the Plowboys scoreless during
thr next four innings while his team
mates scored two runs and staged two
rallies cither of which ought to have
resulted In a lend for Daniel linker.
