I I 51 A 17 19 IOIR IH IM U I I II Mill H By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor Because it is precisely what the doctor ordered for young men about .to go to war, more football will be played next fall than ever before in the schools and colleges at Armv Dosts and Naval sta tlona. ' So, with spring practice: either on or about to start througnout tne land, it is well to keep up with the trend In rule changes. , The college committee made no changes of importance, decided this was a poor time to monkey with the code. But the professionals,' determin ed to intensify action and keep 'em running, propose., four alter atiens which are to be studied" by the National League committee in New York, March 20-iiThey are 1.- Creation of a restricted rone around punt receivers 2. Extending to the defense the right to advance a muffed back ward pass legally 'recovered after it has struck the ground. ' v 3. Relaxing of the substitution rule to permit two men to return in each period. 4. Providing the defense . with an option on forward passes inter-J cepted after the ball has toucned an ineligible or second eligible re ceiver. - Last three are all right, the first ridiculous. - : Hugh Ray, the professional's technical adviser, favors a five yard zone around the receiver,' into which no member of the kicking team would be allowed to enter until the receiver has touched the ball. . Another suggestion would restrain opponents . from, crossing the 15-yard Unettlntii theuicelver has touched a punted ball crossing that line, either on the fly or roil. Either would be swell if the spectacle is going to put ahead of the game of football,. The idea is , to get away from receivers having to kill the ball, but the clever receiver isn't afraid to take chances and catch the ball running full steam ahead. . And why take away the advantage given a team by a good receiver.? Why give the mediocre, receivers the running start of the pole vaul-ter vaul-ter or Jumper?. Such a rule would only put more pressure on the kicker, for, with, the receiver enjoying a handicap! teams on the defense would not worry about getting too many men downfield too rapidly. Inasmuch as a fumbled ball may be advanced by either side in pro fessional football, the present rule prohibiting the defense from advancing a muffed backward I pass, unless recovery is made after aft-er the ball strikes the turf, is in consistent. Colleges would do well to re-adopt re-adopt their former rule permitting a fumbled ball to be advanced by either side, by Che way. And the professionals would do well to follow the colleges with unlimited substitution, which the 25-second rule made the finest football Innovation since the com batant days of Walter Camp.

When a pass strikes a second eligible man, it immed iately becomes dead and automati cally reverts back t thee passing team unless It is fourth down. , neould take another leaf from the college note book and stand pat, so the many who will have neither the opportunity to play or. see a football-game for duration will know - what it's all - about when they get back.
