The army is to get better food.
Congress recently papej a bill rais
ing the "chow" allowance so that
the doughboys rations can be im

fight if they don't eat.
But we hear
rumors that the trouble hasn't entire

provided. It seems that

The football rules committee in its
annual revision of the playing code
nas introduced several new features
which coaches and students of the
game believe may materially alter itg
j character. Of these the regulation
which moves the goal post out to the
CIUi ZOne, requiring a kick of some
twenty-odd yards in order to score
the point after touchdown, and the
one which authorizes a backward
paSS; are regarded as the most im-
down, kicked according to the old
rule, not on'y required little skill
but was a wholly uninteresting fea-
ture of the game from the spectator's
noint of view. This change will nrob-
- ! ably had to a wider adoption of a
- ' forward pass or running play for the
bUUiLlUlldl Chilli, M - v . . p- . - "
Up what has long been the dullest
feature of the game. The huddle and
ment if they do not render them en
tirely impracticable. The fifteen-yard
penalty for a player in motion will
materially alter the style of play of
teams long accustomed to the shift
while the shorter period allowed be-!
tween plays will encourage signa
tailing from play formation.
While all the changes introduced
by the committee are designed tc
eliminate undersirahle features, it l
unfortunate from one point of view
that thev are so radical in character.
