V . The two big changes, which still must be adopted by the league by a four-fifths vote, - will permit coaching from the bench and vir tually eliminate out-of-bounds kickoffs. i As an experimental measure, for the 1944 season, the committee proposed to permit ' coaches to communicate with players on the field by any means, provided that they remain within a zone meas uring ten yards in each direction from the middle of the bench and do not encroach upon the field. To : prevent Intentional out-of- bounds kickoffs, the committee suggested a five yard penalty on each kickoff until the ball is le gally ; handled by v the receiving side. 1 Less important changes from the spectator standpoint are the renewal for ; one year of the free substitution rule, with the pro vis. ion that players no longer need fo report on entering the game; a chance in timing of time-outs so that in most cases the ball actu ally will 'be put into play - after two minutes; and alterations in the rules concerning the shift of players between the line and backfield and in -the penalty for interference by the offensive team on forward passes.
