Uniform Grid Code For High Schools Colleges In Making
A uniform playing code for scholastic and collegiate football was in the making as committees from both groups prepared final details. The collegiate rules board adopted several changes and hinted more. Changes include the use of a one inch tee for extra points and field goals, non kickoff scoring, ten yard advancement after two straight out of bounds kickoffs, and restricted substitutions after timeouts unless in extra time. The board also plans to curb hard substances in protective gear after Sept. 1, 1950. W. A. Alexander, Fritz Crisier, and A. R. Hutchens were named to draft the unified rules, with Hutchens and H. V. Porter to organize code assignments.
