The National Federation of State High School Associations’ football committee gave referees authority to halt plays on encroachment earlier to curb TD backings and allowed offenses to decline encroachment penalties. They backed a combined code with the NCAA, endorsed soft helmet trends, liberalized forward passing rules, and unified free kick classifications. The panel rejected proposals to drop penalties for invalid signals and to revise free substitution.
