Intercollegiate Athletic Association Meeting Next Saturday

The intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States will meet at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, next Saturday. Seven of the fourteen members of the football rules committee will be named at the meeting, and an amendment will probably will be submitted, to provide a longer term for its members.

Steps will be taken to give permanent membership to the colleges which were represented on the old committee before its consolidation with the conference committee, and the committee will be empowered to per pare final rules for the season of 1908. Pennsylvania and Chicago have joined the new association, and Cornell and Yale are expected to ally themselves with it in the near future.

It is expected that among the changes in the rules which will be proposed this year will be the lessening of the value of the goal from the field, the further restriction of the use of the forward pass, and some change in the rule relating to the duties of the umpires and the referee.
