Sleeper Play Eliminated At Annual Parley
The 1942 college football rulebook was kept largely intact as the rules committee clarified calls that favored offside penalties and banned the sleeper play. Sleeper and similar setups were condemned with a 15 yard penalty for future use. The two minute clock rules were tightened and players must face the end line with feet behind the ball to be on the scrimmage line. Objections to new rules arose from national service affecting available staff for next season.
