FOOTBALL RULES COMMITTEE MAKES MODEST CHANGES
The rules committee in New York finishes sessions with no major changes. A punt out after a touchdown is abolished and teams may opt to kick for goal from in front of the posts. A motion to use 40 plays per quarter was deemed too radical for now. A new motion recognizes substitutes reporting to referees as out of the game. A rule cautions against roughing after a forward pass. For the first time, the committee considers paid players and directs study for the Football Code.
