Football rule changes eyed by coaches group
New York December 29 intercollegiate officials propose three minor adjustments to football rules to restore pre season practices.

Major changes like winged stopwatch and reduced forward passes are not expected. Notables like Zuppke Dobie Stagg Meehan and Bezdek attend with Trautman substituting for Wilce.
