CFL to Start New Grid Rules With Sudden Fifth Quarter
The Continental Football League plans new rules to boost play and fan interest. A sudden death fifth quarter would decide tied games, with kickoffs beyond the end zone penalized five yards and kickoffs to be returned to the 20 if not advanced. Under the plan, the kickoff must be handled by the receiving team, and plays would continue until a winner is declared. The rules, discussed by Commissioner A B Chandler and counsel Tommy Bell during a league tour, would be tested in pre season games.
