At a meeting of the advisory committee of the Intercollegiate Football Association, held in New York on Saturday last, amendments to the rules were suggested as follows:
That after a try for goal the ball be made dead, thus preventing an intentional miss in kicking a goal, with a view to scoring another touch-down; that some further action be taken to prevent men from locking arms in the formation of the wedge; and that when the referee has inflicted the penalty of giving five yards, the count of the downs shall be recommenced; -that is the next attempt to advance shall be considered the first down.
These proposed changes will be acted upon at the meeting of the Intercollegiate Association in May.
