Changes Added
In Grid Rules
NEW YORK Wt Football will
be more honest next fall on the
field, at least if the wishes of
the NCAA Rules Commute are re
spected.
Winding up 2 n days of delibera
tions, the committee Wednesday
adopted six changes in uie rules
and made two strong appeals to
coaches for more honest and care
ful observance of other Important
rules. a,-,
Two of the three ruler changes
were designed to prevent unfair
deception on offense the outlaw
ing of the "hideout" play and a
new proviso concerning plays
where a middle lineman (tackle,
guard or center) becomes eligible
to receive forward passes. Another
will help keep the defense "honest"
by providing more opportunities
for fake place kicks.
The most important change was
in the substitution rule a short
step backward from the "no pla
toon" rule adopted two years ago.
This will permit any player who,
starts a Quarter to leave the game
and re-enter once during that quar
ter, 1-onaierauy, uie iour-minui
"segment" in the second and
fourth quarters was eliminated.
Bur the committee decided not
to try this time to solve two of
its biggest headaches false starts
and elbow blocks by changing the
rules. Instead, a strong appeal will
be addressed to officials and com
missioners for stricter enforce
ment of the rules and to coaches
to observe them.
It was the second straight year
the committee had declined to
change the rule on false starts
after a hullabaloo over "sucker
shifts" in 1953. Last year an ap
peal to coaches and officials, plus
some fresh interpretations, brought
"considerable improvement, ac
cording to committee chairman H.
O. (FriU) Crisler of Michigan.

Actually, the great center fielder
should nave joined the immortals

were named, but sentiment appar
ently forced him to wait his turn.

in 10 players. To be elected to the
shrine, it is necessary that a play
er's name appear upon at least 75
per cent of the ballots. Thus, 189
voters were required for election.
Maranville received 209, Dickey
202 and Terry 195. DiMaggio fell
