EDITED BY
I PERCY H. WHITING
Jn yesterday's paper, in this column, we took a shot at
t | ic first of the three “plans” doped out by the football re
formers for cutting the fatalities out of football.
Before taking up plans 2 and 3 we rise to remark that we
gee neither rhyme nor reason to a classification of the proposed
reforms under “plans.”
Are we to suppose that the rules committee is limited to
the acceptance of one of the three plans as they stand, und that
ihev can not take one good section out of one plan and another
com! one out of another! And if they can make such .substi
tutions, why have any plans at all! Why not classify all re
forms relating to the forward pass under one head, all those
relating to the onside kick in another, and thus down thru the
But. anyhow, the classification does not matter much so
| onj j us the “reforms” rcnlly reform.
So here goes for the second “plan.” We give it again:
Second Plan.

There is nothing new about section 1. It doesn't seem to
mttke any vast difference how the hall is put in play after an
intermission. p u t die division of the game into four periods,
uith rests between each period, will help n lot.
As to jeetion 2. the scheme of having three men in the
line is a good one. and everybody scents to approve of it. .lust
what effect the placing of three of the hacks at least four yards
behind the line will have we leave 1o the experts to say. If it
would eliminate .the tandem it would help a good lot. for the
tandem has always been a dangerous, tho often a very effective,
nlav.

: ; i i hr*, <i,tr* stilt the torsi moguls wvii.
n*L h0 S‘:
Section 3. if adopted, would result in the making of most
of ilie forward passes behind the line of scrimmage. Of coarse,
if n play paw) was to be made over the line of scrimmage it
would have to be received by one of the backs, as they would be
the only ones allowed behind the line. We can not see how this
would safeguard the player catching the forward pass nml do
away with the deadly body cheeking.
We are glad that the committee is open to further advice
in regard lo section 4. We are not going to supply the advice,
Inil we hope tlint somebody will. As it stands, the rule provides
that the ball must be “advanced ten yards on consecutive
downs." Surely, but on how many? One would be too few
nml .in too many. Also, why "between the two 25-yard lines?”
We ask to know.
And us for the third plan—oh. well, let's put that off until
tniiioiTov, anyhow.
