Five Changes Made in National Pro Grid Rules
United Press report from Pittsburgh April 11 notes five new NFL rules aimed at player protection and game flow. Changes empower referees to penalize roughing after passes are released, place an out of bounds on a 46 yard line, deem incomplete passes into end zone as automatic touchbacks (on all downs except fourth), allow two players back in during the fourth quarter, and halve penalties inside the ten yard line. The rules take effect at the start of the 1930 season.
