No Action by Rules Committee

The meeting of the National Football Rules Committee, held last Friday at the Bellevue Stratford hotel, Philadelphia, adjourned without taking any definite action.

At this meeting the committee of seven, appointed by the New York University conference, at which 65 colleges were represented, was received by the National Committee, but it was felt that no steps toward amalgamation could be taken until the delegates had received instructions from their respective institutions. Propositions for changes in the rules were informally discussed and the committee representing the New York University Conference presented a plan for the reorganization of the National Rules Committee. This plan provided for an executive committee of five, of which three should be members of the present Rules Committee, to draw up rules and present them to the whole committee for ratification. Further business was postponed until the position of the new committee is more definitely determined.
