PAGE EIGHT SUNDAY TOIES-DEMOCBAT. OKMULGEE, OKLA. Sunday. September 19, 193T, Football Under Present Rules Will Be Best Yet, Says Lou Little New Interpretation Instead of Drastic Changes Should Speed Game, Lion Mentor Claims Kelley -i accidental booting of. tho ball ia tha attempt ta recover a fumbled punt against Navy last fall probably had a lot to do with tha adoption of this rule.

When Kelley finally recovered tho ball, it waa oa Navy's 3 -yard line; instead of oa about tho 30. where ho had kicked it, Yale scored as a result and won tho game. In that particular case, I have no doubt that tho kick was accidental. However. If no action had been taken by the rule committee, this atunt might bar become too frequent to be called accidental.

New, with loos of the ball aa a penalty If the foul occurs on tho field of plqg the boys will taka car to avoid such accidents. ptOOTBALL la a great game aa it stands today. It ia baaed on a system af checks and ba ten res that makes gereratshlp and execution a great test of offensive and defensive skill. This year's minor changes In roles, both almpla and uifderstood, will Improve that balance still further. Tho nrw attitude of officials on pas interference, which expect to ba in evidence, will give tha defensive player a bit more of a show than he has had sometimes la tha past.

Aa they aland today, tha roles seem to me to hav reached almost their ultimata state, at least until soma new, unlooked-for element comes Into tha game. It's such a great gqme today that I wonder sometimes what tha old-timers mean when they talk about tho good old days? ate attempt by the defensive sr effensie player ta Interfere will go a long way toaard clearing up the perplexities af the pUy. 1 expect ta see officials more conscious this year than ever before of the fart that the Infraction la not aecee-aarily and invariably the fault of a defensive player. Too often officials have failed to realise that tho offensive player, going down under a peek can also Interfere with the defense. The change la rules which abolishes the second kickoff when the ball goes out of bounds on tho first kirk hi a good oak Hereafter tha ball will be put- ia play on the receiving teams la-yard line or at a point Ift yards In from where It crosses tho sideline.

This ia bound to speed up tha game, Toe often la recent yeark teams have kicked from the sideline, with the ball going out of bounds ta -necessitate th anti-climax of a second effort. Now, If they are going to kick from tha sideline, theyTt either have to kick accurately or giro the ball to tho rivals oa tho la-yard atrip. rilS may give th receiving team a little edge, but tha result will ba more care In kicking off and more preparation for this play, which ia on of tho moat thrilling and Intereating in football. It means better kirklng and any trend toward better kicking in football helps (ho game. Tha committee has moved in tho direction of a mora exact, leas fluky game by ruling that a free ball may not bo kicked 4r kicked at, Intentionally or otherwise.

Larry By LOT LITTLE Columbia I'oivmMy Bead Coocb Wriuew ftor SEA Sera lea a ad The Times NEW YORK, Sept. 1 1. Football will ba a baiter game Mila foil thaa ever before, largely because it will ba the same game the boys played last year. Playerk roaches, official aad faaa hare been spared tha necessity of reading up on aew rules. They'D know whats what from tha beginning.

Tha gams right now is niaely balanced. If there is an edge, it goes tha offense, That ia aa it should be. Power, speed, aad deception, with a generous amount of skill, are demanded by the-sport aa it stands today. I am convinced that the rules committee was wise la not heeding the near-hysteria at tha end of last season regarding proposed rules changes oa forward pans Interference. Tha problem waa considered at length.

But going aver it, front and hack, up and down, tha rules makers could find nothing to put into words that would solve the problem. 1 am confident, however, that good will grow out erf all tha talk that followed last year's big games The significance of soma of last year's major game decisions and tha subsequent heated discussions by fans, writers, and srerysns else will have tha effect of making officials mors careful, perhaps a bit morn deliberate, a a SOMETIMES, believe, a decision baa been mads too quickly. A second thought and an open mind that will not call Interference nnleaa them has been a deliber official are used to bo more cautiou ia calling pais interference this rear. The rules, despite cear-hyiteriilast season, remaia uochaaged, but a new in-terpretatioa allows bodily contact if both moo make bonsfide at-for the bait as Ulus tnted here.
