Many Changes in Football Now Planned
New York Dec 28 AP drastic changes to make football more spectacular will be suggested to the national rules committee by the American Football Coaches Association. Nine proposals include placing goal posts on the goal line and allowing forward passes from behind the line of scrimmage, plus defensive teams advancing on a fumbled ball. Other ideas cover substitutes communication, forward progress, timeouts, end zone passes on fourth down, penalties for second forward passes and lateral passes, and penalties from the spot of the foul. Bernie Bierman of Minnesota is set to be elected president as recruiting and subsidizing talks failed to yield a unifying code.
