Changes Made In Grid Rules Are Designed To Help Offensive Team
United Press reports from Dgewter Park Mississippi that the National Football Rules committee approved 1938 changes to aid offenses. New provisions allow three consecutive incomplete passes in the end zone on non fourth downs and extend the ball inbounds by five yards toward the sidelines for better near sideline plays. A separate proposal to treat inadvertent passes to ineligible players as incomplete was rejected for now.
