ZOBELL: a modifiedformof the procedure for 10 exhibition gamesin Aus Commissioner Paul Taghabue said at the NFL owner's meetings that instant replay would cover three categories of plays and each coach would be allowed to challengethree plays per half “This experiment is a means for the league to determineif thereare satistactory methods to correct the rare andsignificant obvious error Tagliabue said, “and at the same time eliminate many of the disad vantages of the prior system. The three categories of review able plays are — questions of whether a play ef crosses the goal line in a bid to score or is in his own end zone while in possession ofthe ball: questions of whether a play er is in bounds as he runs with the ball. tries to make 2catch, tries to intercept the ball or tries to recov era fumble; — questions of whether a team has the appropriate number of players on the field. ¢ Whenthe NFL's six-year foray into instant replay ended after the 199] season, many complaints focused on the relatively slow method of the reviews. Officials reviewedthe plays on a monitor in a booth high abovethe field and thenrelayed their ruling to theref eree by telephone This time, the decision will be made by the referee on the field. At three of the 10 games. monitors will be moved directly onto the playing surface for the referee to use. In those rulings, the referee will have 90 seconds to act on the call in question. In the other seven games, the referee will have two minutes to make aruling because he will haveto go to either a side: line monitor or to one mounted on a stadium wall Another previous sore spot was ‘ the jarge number of leagthy reviews that involvedquestions of possession on pass plays. Those types of plays will not be reviewed in this summer's experiment During the season, the league plans to conduct instant’ replay simulations to study timing, equipment and communications, but coaches, players and fans will be unaware of what plays are reviewedor the outcomes. While there are no plans to bring back instant play beyond the 1996 exhibition season, there is clearly support for the move. Twenty-six of the league’s 30 coaches favor some type of review system, and there remains substantial support among the ownersto at least study the matter. ‘I thinkthe league's going about it the right way. We're going totest different technologies during the preseason,” Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “I think the fans deserveit. | hope we can come up with something that doesn't cause delays in games,” Also, owners discussed crossownership andstadiumconstruction but took no action on any major issues, Part of the day was devoted to touring the new stadium of the Carolina Panthers, one of the NFL's twoexpansion teams in 1995, cross country Competinon may not have enough snow because the altitude is too low.

(AP) The NFL is back in the instant replay business. but only in the preseason and onalimited basis Four years after instant replay was voted out by team owners, the NFL on Tuesday outlined plans to implement progress venue plans, marketing, finances and broadcasting rights. “Certainly more remains to be done bet never under pressure for the next five years,”he said Hesaid there were some things | still needing to be ironed out, but, “Relatively easy solutions are def. initely available.” Among the concerms are the cross-country and downhill ski venues and the site ofthe athletes’ village. Hodler said the IOCCis concerned that the designated site for The Buildogs totaled 11 hits with Hardy, Law and Thornton each collecting two. Hardy had four RBIs while Stringham had two. “I was a little bit worried {beforehand} because we haven't hit the breaking ball well this season, And their pitcher [Craig Sorenson} threw a good one.
