SEVERAL CHANGES
IN FOOTBALL RULES
Texas Teams Will Find Them
Effective When 1920
Champ Race Begins.
* ltjr The Associated Press)
DALLAS Tex.. Sepr. 21.—Several
changes in football rules will be ef-
fective in Texas when teams of the
state being their struggle for the
1920 championship. Two methods of
play not heretofore penalized are to
be placed in the class of unnecessary
uughness and a few t echnicalities a*
to the infliction of penalties are
cleared up.
i no principal cnanges m tne ruies
may be summarized briefly as fol-
lows :
Substitution—It has been ruled
that after a player has reported to
the proper official and the change has
been made the substitution shall be
considered completed.
Man in motion—Both the referee
and the linesman are charged with
the duty of watching a man in mo-
tion before the ball has been put into
play. This has been rendered neces-
sary by the great development of
shift plays.
Another rule bearing on this is
that when a player comes to his posi-
tion in making a shift he must have
! both feet on the ground.
Unnecessary roughness—The act of
I “clipping” is to be ruled under un-
j necessary roughness and will apply
whether or not the ball is dead if
the tecipient of the act is obviously
out of the play.
Houghing a forward passer also is
put under the head of unnecessary
roughness so that if a passer is
roughed after he has made the pass
and while not taking any further part
; in the play the offending side may
be penalized in the discretion of the
! officials.
Penalties—The penalty for a mar.
starting before the ball is put into
play is measured ftom the point of
the scrimmage and the penalty for
i a man thrown out of bounds is meas-
! ured from the point where the run-
1 ner crossed the line.
Incomplete!! forwi rd pass—Time is
i taken out on a forward pass from tha
time the pass becomes incomplete!
until the play start again.
False starting signals—If "in the
opinion of officials a false starting
signal is given w-ith the intention of
drawing the opponents offside the
official may demand that the play be
made over again.
Fair catch—The rule regarding a
fair catch signal is changed to read
“prior to attempt to catch the ball”
instead of “while advancing toward
the ball."
Punt out—The punt-out is entirely
! abolished.
