Dead Ball Rule Abandoned By Eastern Colleges
Eastern colleges drop the dead ball rule on fumbles as they liberalize offensive play. Lou Little, head of the coaches rules committee, says the rule protected errors and hindered lateral passing. The move follows the Eastern Intercollegiate Association's adoption of a recovered fumble to allow either side to run, citing the rule’s failure to encourage lateral play and noting linemen’s blocking lapses.
