Wodnesday, THE DAILY NEBHASKAN CHARGES ARE IDE Ifl FOOTBALL RULES "Try-for-Point" is Substituted for Goal-Kick in the 1922 Gridiron Rules. A new scoring feature, known as the "try-for-point" will take the place of the goal-kick which follows the ! th American Intercollegiate Football jj Rulers Committee. Under the "try 3 forjpoint" plan, the team scoring a 1 touchdown takes the ball out to any point noi wunin live jtuus vi me goal line, and under scrimmage for mation, has one play in which to score by a drop-kick, a place-kick, a run, or forward pass. Other changes made by the committee in the 1922 rules are of a minor nature, and do net materially affect the style of the play itself. According to many close students of the gridiron sport, the substitution of the "try-for-point" for the time- honored goal kick following the touchdown will tend toward making the outcome of a game more uncer tain, and will result in less tie con tests. The close observer figures tha' this ruling will eliminate 'lie com parative snreness with which a point followed a touchdown under the old poal kick plan, and that the old t!e cores, euoh as seven to seven, will be a scarce article. The "try-for-point" is also expected to do away, to a large extent, induce wore teamwork, because now the unit ed efforts of the entire team will be necessary to secure a point following the touchdown, while but one man was needed to gain the point under the groalkick ruling. The following excerpt from Spanld Ing's 1922 Football guide gives all the changes in detail: Changes In the Rules for 1922 The changes in the rules this year, while not materially affecting the style of play itself, are important to coaches, officials and captains, as well as to players. Relating to substitutes, a player taken out in one half cannot return in the same half, but a player who has been taken out in the first half may return to the game in the second half, not necessarily at the beginning of a period. The referee is permitted by a change in the rule to shorten the playing time at intermission, should he decide that darkness is likely to interfere with the completion of the game. In scoring, a new feature is intro duced, called a "Try-for-point." Form erly a place-kick only was allowed for goal after a touchdown. Now the side scoring the touchdown is permitted to bring the ball out to any point not less than 5 yards from the goal line, or to Any greater distance they choose, and there a scrimmage is formed, with the scoring side in possession of the ball. They can make any play which is legal from an ordinary smmraape uu -u-deavor to score by a placekiek, a drop kick, a run, or a forward pass. Should they by any of these means in a single p'ay put the ball over the goal line nd score a touchdown, or should they kick a field goal, any one of these successes yields them a single point. Immediately that the ball becomes dead without resulting in such a score, play ceases and the ball is taken back fc- a kick-off, as was done under the old method when the Try-for-goal had proven unsuccessful. As to fouls (on this Try-for-point) by either side, a foul by the side defend ing the goal gives the attacking side the additional point without further play, and a foul or illegal play by the attacking side vitiates the attempt for the score. The privilege or choice of kick-off or of receiving the kick-off are a little trore clearly defined. Probably the most constructive work done was in making the rule regarding enift plays more clear and more sim ple of enforcement by officials. It pro Tides as formerly regarding the ord inary shifts, and also provides that when a man in motion has left the scrimmage line he must be at least five yards back when the ball is put in play. It also provides that in all shift plays the man who has moved from cne position to another before the ball Is put in play roust come to a stop; not only both feet stationary on the ground, but must come to a full stop so that when he starts again he starts off from a standstill. Certain alternations were made in tb rule regarding taking time out, to clear up any misunderstandings there.

Publicity was given to it thru the Summer Nebraskan. u Kansas Publishes Scores With Seme Schools for Past Thirty-two Years. 1141 Que St. B1203 UNIVERSITY CLEANERS Special Attention to Fratern ities and Sororities and Univer sity Students CALLED For and DELIVERED Some interesting facts about Mis souri Valley athletics especially as they affect Kansas have been compiled by the athletic department cf Kansas University and given out for publica tion. The story as it comes from Law rence, Kas., follows: In the thirty-two years the univers ity has been playing football it has engaged in 269 contests of which ii has won 1S2, tied in IS. and lias lost only 69 games. The total of points scored is even more interesting, show ing 4.02S for the Kansas teams and 1,731 lor the various opponents. In seven of the tie names no score was made, and in one that of 1920 Kansas and Nebraska played a 20-2d tie. Huskers' Scores Higher Of the teams which Kansas has met more than four times Nebraska is the only one which shows higher scores. The Cornhuskers have defeated Kan sas seventeen times and tied once, to nine Kansas victories, and the points total 371 for Nebraska and 194 for K. U. In the valley conference, Oklahoma comes the nearest being on even basis with the Jayhawkers. Of nineteen games played, K. U. has won ten and tied two, with 219 points for Kansas and 175 for Oklahoma. Missouri of late years the sharpest contender, in the early years was a consistent loser to the Jayhawkers, and the totals show Kansas has won from Missouri seventeen games, lost eight and tied five. The aggregate scores for K. U. are 359 and for Missouri 180. Have Edge in Basket Ball Basket ball points made by Kansas totals 11.541, and the opponents have scored 8,939. The Jayhawkers have the edge on Nebraska in basket ball as Kansas has won twenty-one out of forty games, with scores aggrecating 1,162 to Nebraska 9S4. Missouri basket ball teams, which have been beating Kansas rather con sistently of late years, did not have everything their own way in the early days. The ecore since 1907 is thirty six games (1,600 points) for Kansas and twenty-four games (1,532 points) for Missouri. Kansas and the Kansas Aggies have each won twenty-two games, while the Aggies have only won one and tied Miss Harriet Wyman, '14, a mission ary at Kodeikanel, India, has written to the alumni association telling of her work there. Miss Wyman says that she has had a difficult time mas tering the Tumil language, it being one of the hardest known. "The biggest fish got away." "That's what they all say.
