Football Rules May Be Changed

The football rules committee will review dozens of suggestions as it revises the college code. Proposals include extending the gain for three downs from five yards to ten, requiring seven men on the line at play, abolishing the 20 yard holding rule for expulsion after four downs, and moving the center to back rule so opponents step back one yard on punts. Other ideas seek penalizing a kickoff over the goal line by 26 yards and forcing the kick over. The panel also aims to clarify the code’s phrasing.
