Page Tw o DEAD BALL GRID RULE LIKELY TO BE SUPPORTED (Note: In connection with th widespread agitation tor college football nil changes, an officud rebuttal It presented herewith on behalf of the national rules com-. nuttee. answering In particular those who advocate a return to regulation now In rogue in pro fessional football Editor's note). Br William 8. Uuirfor (Secretarx, National Football Rule Committee) NEW YORK UP How 1 the "open season for -hooting" the football rules and the firing la quite general and from all directions. With so many shots being taken It 1 altogether likely that tome may find their way Into the hearts of the rules cornrnittee, but the indi cations are that that body will adopt no radical changes and will confine itself to simplifying the code as artuclt as possible. Suggestions for changes to "make . tbe.game more interesting from the standpoint of the spectators" almost invariably would bring back hazards to players which nave already been eliminated from the game, and It is predicted that the committee will ac cord these but scanty con-lderaUon. ,' One suggestion Is to abolish the dead ball rule, another Is to move the goal posts back from the end lines to the goal lines, either or both of which. If adopted, would Increase the chances of Injury without any proportionate compensating benefit. The present dead ball rule was 2jspmL in !2 &nd provides that when any part (except hands or feet) of . the player in possession of the ball touoheu the ground, the ball at once becomes, dead and play ceases automatically. Tiiis rule has almost entirely cum' . Inated "crawling," 1. e attempts by - a player to advance the ball further after he has been downed, and pu Ing-up" or falling upon the player with the ball after it has become , dead. "Crawling" and plllng-up" used to be proline sources of Injury and It is unthinkable that any lover ol , the game would wish to gamble on ' the welfare of hundreds of thousands of football players for the sake of providing an occasional "thrill" to comparatively few spectators. Some critics have argued that the rules committee should give more thought to the general public who support football and by so doing make possible the whole athletic pro- ; gram of the colleges, by giving them more "thrills." These people ask that we adopt the rules under which the professional games are played so as ' to give the spectators a "real run for their money." The main difference between - the rules of the N. C. A. A. and the pro fessional code lies In the fact that the latter failed to follow the safety measures adopted by the rules com mittee in 1932, Including the dead ball rule mentioned above, and the prohibition of the flying block and flying tackle. It may or may not be true that the followers of the professional game demand the retention of fea- . tures which the rules committee felt it wise to eliminate from college and school games, but that Is no reason for asking that these hazardous fea tures be re-Introduced into the ama teur game which Is played for vastly different reasons than the profes sional game. It must always be remembered that whereas professional exhibitions are arranged solely to attract paying pa trons, amateur sports are primarily for the benefit and enjoyment of the players themselves and the func tions of the rule makers of the two are almost as wide apart as the poles. The rules of the K. c. A. A. are framed primarily for the use of the colleges in its membership after that for secondary and preparatory schools who care to um them In training their students to participate later in Mtt college games after their grad-; uatlon from school. j These rules sre designed to meet i ju.w. t r.r ur - i m i a x m i r 'i v -un ci.vi.w; t t?r Although the latest Goodyear All-Vcathers average 35 more non-skid mileage, most sizes are priced as low or lower than the 1932 tires!

W.-ra we contrast this with, pos sibly 1.000 professional playera, rang ing from 23-31 years of age, most of whom have had the benefit of years of school and college training and ex perience, we must see that there Is no common ground and no reason whatsoever for uniformity in - - the playing rules. .
