TO ENCOURAGE THE RULES COMMITTEE.

Such a flood of suggestion and advice has been poured upon the members of the Rules Committee since the end of the last season that we consider it quite unnecessary to make public now any new ideas for the reform of football. One tangible fact may be gleaned from all that has been written on the subject,--that the demand for change is general and insistent. The Rules Committee is an exceptionally competent body, and may safely be trusted to legislate only for the lasting good of the game.
