Forward Pass Rule Changes Stir Debate In New Game
The article discusses two adopted rules: limiting the forward pass from behind the line and shortening the distance to gain from 10 yards to eight. It notes past shifts from five to 10 yards caused protests that faded, and suggests the eight-yard change may face similar backlash. It argues the forward pass remains a defining feature, with adjustments likely rather than abolition.
Walter Camp reports satisfaction with new football rules
Walter Camp, returning from the code builders meeting in New Haven, says the agreed rules will make football safer. He endorses limiting gain to eight yards, banning teammates from pulling backs through the line, and notes the forward pass change requiring the thrower to stand five feet behind the rush line. He expects the flying tackle to be eliminated and tackles to be made above the knees, reducing accidents next season.
