Standard Football

To the attention of the Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee it came that unprincipled footballers have been blowing up their balls in strange shapes--with irregular snouts that might be used as handles in forward passing; with fat sides to make punts fly short and crookedly. The committee announced last week, through Chairman Edward Kimball Hall, that a new apparatus will be used in future to measure pigskins put in play. The correct football will have "a circumference of its short axis from 22 to 22 1/2 inches (a half inch less than last year), length of long axis from 11 to 11 1/2 inches, entire surface to be convex, and inflated not more than 15 pounds, nor less than 13 pounds."
