Coaches Vote to Limit Shifting in Next Year Football
The American Football Coaches Association voted to amend shift rules to a two second hesitation during shift plays next season. The plan allows one backfield man in motion at the start while stopping watch timing between shift and snap. Major Cavanaugh of Fordham criticized the move, Yale and other coaches debated scouting and the huddle, and discussions covered practice limits and official fees as the sport faces reform.

Two U S Athletic Associations In Squabble For Control
In New York on December 29 the National Amateur Athletic Federation withdrew from the National Olympic Association triggering a clash with the Amateur Athletic Union. The federation claims 90 percent of American amateur sports and allied groups, including the army, navy, and college bodies, as members. It cites changes in the Olympic body's constitution and alleges the A A U dominates U S Olympic participation. The rift, rooted in years of tension, signals a federation led push for state level development in 1927 and a direct challenge over control of Olympic activities.
