The chief alterations In the rules for this season nrg as follows: The officials of the game shall tut n ref eree, two umpires and a llueatumi. It is, however, allowable to dispense with the second umpire at the discretion of tbs two Institutions Involved. The length of the gams has been short ened by ten minutes, making the two futlvea each thirty minutes In length. The line of serlmmagd for each side Is an Imaginary Hue parallel io the goal line am) pausing through that |»oint of the bull near* eat the aide's own goal line. It will be noted that there are thna two lines of scrimmage, one for each tram, aud the two tennis are thus separated the length of the hall. The snapperbaek must place the ball flat upon the ground with Its long axis si right angles to the line of acrlmmnge. It bss also lH?en provided that a player to lie on the line of scrimmage must hove l»oth hands or both feet np to or within one foot of this line. Or be musChnvc one foot nud the opposite hand op to or within one foot of It. He must also stand with both feet outside the outside foot of the player uext to him unless he be one of the two men atsudltig on either side of the MMpper- hnck, In which case be may lock legs with the mi tipper buck. A player attempting to make a fair catch must signal his Intention by raising his hand clearly above his bend while advanc ing toward the ball. Further addition has been made to the rule regarding "down." That Is, that the referee shall blow hla Whistle whenever any portion of the person of the runner with the twill, except hla hands or feet, touches the ground while he la In the grasp of an opponent. The hall Is also “down'' when, as a|»er!fled In the rules. It goes across the goal line on a kick whleh has struck the ground In the Held of play, ex cept the kick-off. ami also when It goes over the some manner from a forward psas. Tripping la spsfUrally defined as follows; A player trips another player when he olwtructs hint lielow the knee with that part of bis leg that Is balow the knee. HuiMHng Is defined and forbidden. Hur dling In fhe open Is Jamming over or at tempting to jump over an opponent who Is atlU on his feet. ILirdllnjr It* the line Is r pro fereucs with the nmu snapping the bull hack. The opponents must neither Inter fere In any way whatever with him. nor touch him nor the Isill until It la actually pat In play. The snapperbnck Is allowed tn have hla head, also the baud or foot used In snapping the Isill, off-side. There must always lie at lesst six men of the side fu possession of the Isill on the line of scrimmage, and If only six are on fhe line, of those not on the line mast have Imth feet outside the outsldo foot of the player on the end of the line. Furthermore, no player of those ordinarily ocenpylng the position of renter, guard or tackle, that fa, the five middle players of the tine, may drop Isirk front the line of rrrlmmago on fhe offense unless be goes Isirk at least five yards, and another player takes hla place on the line. It Is furthermore provided that there himII Ih* no shifting of men to evade this rule, the Intention lielng that the tag men In the middle of the Hue ahall not Ik* dropped back for the purfKou* of earrylng the hill or using tllriv weight In tho Inter ference. The dropping bark of a single man five yards in this way la to enablu the team to use a kicker If he happens to pt*F the line. JUSTICE 18 TARDY IN T T. BREITEN8TEIN'8 CASE. By Private Leased Wire.
