Show Leave Football Rules as They Are, Says Hawley "Leave the football rules alone," advises ad-vises Jess Hawley, Dartmouth coach. "They are all right as they are, both from the spectators' angle, that of the players and the coaches. And above all let's keep all the kicking there Is In the gaum. There's little enough now. "It takes a coaching staff several years to work out the possibilities of one offensive scheme,' and coaches know that even a slight change in rules can upset a team's progress. Very often what appears to be a minor or even harmless change in rules will ruin several years of development. "By this I do not mean that there should be no changes, because there must be changes if the game is to improve im-prove as It has in the past. I mean that changes should be inaugurated only when we know they will be of value. It's the guesses that hurt." |
