PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1934 New Football Rules Will Aid Offensive Team, Say Coaches Forward Passing Will Also Be Stimulated; Kansas Mentors Favor Changes The national football rules committee, meeting in Atlanta on Feb. 11, came to the aid of the offensive team by changing the forward pass rules to allow freer handling of the ball without penalty. The committee yielded to the opinion expressed by many that the defense held a strong advantage over the offense and that the game was consequently deplorably slowed up. The change that will have the greatest effect on the scoring punch of a team is the removal of the rule which caused the attacking team to lose the ball if it passed over the goal line. Now the incomplete pass over the goal line causes the ball to return to the place where it was put into play. Another new rule in favor of the forward pass is the removal of the five penalty for successive incomplete passes. The committee did not favor a proposal which suggested adoption of the professional football style which allows a team to pass from anywhere back of the scrummain line. Punt Ruling Changed The third change gave a new definition of the punt, and one man may hold the ball while a teammate kicks it. The old rule stated that the ball had to be dropped from the hands before it was kicked. The freedom allowed under the new rule will be a great boost for the quick kick, in the opinion of coaches, because it can be effectively faked by spinners. The possibilities for more extender use of the forward pass will tend to loosen up the defense and make the running attack more effective. Lindsey Sees No Objection General satisfaction with the three changes made in football rules were expressed by University of Kansas coaching staff. Lindsey Sees No Objection Coach Lindsey said he would endeavor to make use of whatever rules there are, and could see no particular objection to, or factor in favor of changes made. "The rules apply equally to each team," he said, "and what is fair for one is fair for the other." Dr. Allen saw in the two rules removing penalties for incomplete passes a "basketball-zing" of the game, and also an opening up of the game so that the spectators could follow the play. Coach Getto said he believed the removal of penalties will open up the game greatly, and will make for many thrilling plays near the goal line. "The public wants to see the ball more of the time, and while it is pleased with spinner plays that are intended to confuse the opponent, still it is the passing — forward, lateral, and backward— that the people like to see. The trend is from mass play, until now it is from professional play, with his protective costume, is less likely to be hurt than is the basketball player on the hard mall floor." "I am glad they didn't make any more changes," he said. "The public has a hard enough time keeping up with the rules as it is." Women's Intramurals At a meeting of the Intramural board, Feb. 21 and 22 were set as dates for the intramural swimming meet. Ping pong and basketball throw were also discussed and entry blanks for the three meets were given to the various sororities. These blanks are due Feb. 20. Finals for the swimming contest between the winner and runner-up of each group will be on Feb. 28. The ping pong and basketball matches will be played the last of February. Last year the Thetas won the swimming meet, with Chi Omega second. The Thetas have many of their team back this year and are out for an attempt to win first place again. The hours the swimming pool is open for practice are posted on the bulletin board in the gymnasium. Participants should sign for practice hours immediately. The final women's intramural basketball game of the season will be played tonight at 5 o'clock between Pi Beta Phi, sorority champions, and the Independent, champions of the unorganized groups. Class basketball practices will begin Thursday, Feb. 15. Freshmen and sen- iors will practice at 8 p.m. Thursday, and sophomores and seniors at 9. Each intermural manager should turn in the names of the women interested in class basketball as soon as possible, it was announced. There will be three general practices, on Tuesday and Thursday, and each woman eligible must attend at least two of these practices. A single round robin between each class will be played. Sooner Wrestlers Flunk Coach Keen Loses Three of His Team on Eve of Match Norman, Feb. 12 — (Special) — Paul Keen, Sooner wrestling coach, feels these days like the man who, dashed to the pavement by a speeding automobile, crawls painfully to his feet only to be knocked down again by a truck coming from the opposite direction. A few days ago Vernon Sisney, his star 145-pound wrestler, flunked a physics course and was declared ineligible for further competition this school year. But his bad luck had only started. Thursday he was notified that Joe Kalpin, sophomore 155-pounder from Geary, who like Sienny was undefeated this season, also had fallen victim to grades and would be lost to the team all year. But that wasn't all. Friday the registry office informed him that Billy Carr, sophomore phenom from Cushing, who was expected to take the measure of his Weatherford opponent, had joined Sisney and Kalpin on the ineligibility list, completely the Sooner wrestling team. Now Keen's face is so long it'd take a 12-inch strip of adhesive tape to fasten his lower lip to his nose. Allen Returns to Post After Week of Illness Jayhawkers Defeat Sooners to Gain Big Six Conference Lead Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletes at the University of Kansas, returned to his duties of coaching basketball Monday, after a week's illness. During that week, the Kansas team, under the direction of Forrest "Frosty" Cox, freshman coach, twice defeated the conference leaders, Oklahoma, once in a non-conference game, 22 to 16, and the next night in a conference match that was full of thrills, 28 to 23, thereby going into a tie with Oklahoma for the lead for this year. The next night at Ames, Iowa State, after dropping five games in a row, including a previous one to Oklahoma, came back to a hard-fought finish, and a victory, 40-38. This showed the Sooners into second place, and automatically elevated the Jayhawkers again to the lead, where they have finished for the past three seasons in succession, and where they have been 16 times in the 25 years of competition between schools of the present Big Six. Along with leadership in percentage of games won, Kansas has the scorer with the highest average per game, in Ray Ebling, sophomore, from Lindsborg. In 5 games he has run up 53 points for an average of 10.6. Wegner, Iowa State center, is in average with 10.5 in six games, for a conference score of 63. Having played only five conference games, while other teams have played six or seven, Kansas shows the lowest total score for the conference, but opponents, likewise, have been held down. The heavy scorer of the conference is the Oklahoma team, which in six games, has piled up 208 points to the opponents' 165, a ratio of 1.29 points to every one the opponents scored. Kansas will meet Iowa State here Friday night in the second titl of the season for the two teams. Following is the present standing of the Big Six conference. W L Pct.

Skin grafting operations were required to heal the burn. Bill developed his leg afterward by plenty of exercise and walking. The second thing responsible for his success as a runner is the fact that every night he eats half a pint of toffee ice cream. His coach, Matt Geiss, has no objection to this. He says, "Bill's a tremendous eater. He needs plenty of food to supply the energy he burns up every day, and I can't see that ice cream crumbs his style." The hate is the most important of all. It is a hate of track athletics. He hated track during high school at Detroit and at prep school. When he went to Princeton he hoped that he would be able to play football and baseball. He was out for freshman football when the track coach came to him and talked him into a track suit. He has been there for four years and is glad that it will be over this spring. He claims that the reason he runs so fast is the fact that he hates to do and is in a hurry to get through. If this is true, he will have to hurry plenty fast Saturday night when he meets Cunningham.
