Defends the Rules Against Changing Football Play
Coach Bosse of the Western University of Pennsylvania argues against altering football rules to open play. He says more open play would raise injuries, a ten yard requirement for first downs would not add spectacle, and the game’s balance depends on punting and momentum. He asserts current rules keep players safer and championship tests fair.
