Grid Code Undergoes Three Rule Changes
The National Interscholastic Football committee announced three rule changes at its annual meeting chaired by Secretary H V Porter. A free kick is replayed with a five yard penalty if the ball does not cross the receiver’s restraining line and is not touched. Encoachment in the neutral zone is restricted between zone establishment and snap to prevent contact or delaying the snap. A forward pass behind the line of scrimmage is not considered a forward pass when handed to an eligible player behind the line, except for passes traveling through the air.
