Among Mentors Proposals
CHICAGO, Dec. 37. (AP) Seven
changes In the football rules. Includ
ing suggestion to abolish the "dead"
ball and fumble rules and to move
the goal posts back to the goal lines,
were proposed today by the American
Football Coaches' association.
The proposed rule changes, which
are to be submitted to the national
rules committee, are:
1. Permit forward passing from
any point behind the line of scrim
mage. 3. Move the goal posts back to the
goal lines.
3. Abolish the dead ball rule.
4. Increase the sideline rule from
10 to 15 yards.
5. Abolish the fumble rule ao that
a player recovering an opponent's
fumble on the ground can run with
It.
8. Adopt the "wlndv dav" rule by
which a team, when In possession of
the ball within Its own 20 yard line
on windy days, can surrender th? ball
without kicking 25 yards nearer its
opponent's goal. I
7. Adopt the end zone pass rule
whereby passes over the end zone on
the first three downs be listed only
as downs, Instead of as touchbacks
as at present,
CHICAGO, Dec. 27-7aP) Floyd B.
Eastwood, New York University In
structor, who has conducted three
annual survey of football - deaths
and accidents, today reported to the
American Football Coaches association
that over one-quarter of the Injuries
to the college players during 1933
might have been avoided by "ade
quate leadership."
Although the survey, conducted for
a coaches committee headed by Dr.
Marvin A. (Mai) Stevens, former head
coach at Yale, showed that the natu
ral hazards of the game stilt were
Ihe major cause of all accidents, many
of the most severe Injuries and 27.8
per cent of the total could have been
avoided by closer attention to the
playing fields, coaching and the
plr"' condition.
Many Colleges Aid.
One hundred and seventeen col
leges In 38 states and with football
quads aggregating 7084 players, co
operated In the survey for a good
cross -section of the college game.
The "preventable" Injuries East
wood listed under three headings:
Those due to administrative control,
uch as Inadequate coach Inc. nnor
playing fields, 17.7 per cent; train
ing controls, such 'as fatigue, care- I
lessnesi, etc., 4.0 per cent; physical 1
condition, S.2 per cent, i
From a study of these accidents ,
he drew the following conclusions: '
1. Where the college administra
tion pays for all Injuries there prob- I
ably will be a lower mean number of
accidents for 1000 exposures. '
2. 'Coaches who have had seven
years or more experience have a lower
mean number of accidents.
S. Coaches who have played the
game themselves for three or more I
years win nave fewer accidents.
4. The coach who handles some
other sport will have fewer injuries
than one who coaches only football.
ft. Four weeks of pre-aeason train
ing gives the lowest mean number
of accident and days lost.
7. A complete medical examina
tion during pre-season training gives
the feweat accidents,
8. Fewest accidents occurred where
the coach or trainer determined the
players' daily condition.
Colleges having a physician con
stantly In attendance showed the
fewest .accidents and days lost.

lumbia's coaches kept a sharp eye on
southern California weather charts
today as they diligently prodded the
Lions of Mornlngslde Heights to a
fighting pitch for the Tournament of
Roses football game with Stanford
Monday.
Reports of overcut skies and chilly
weather from Pasadena brought forth
renewed speculation on what the con
dition might be New Year's day for
the lntersectlonal struggle,
"It's too good to last," worried Lou
Little, head keeper of the Lions, who
would like nothing better and just
such conditions five days hence. "We
could use some of southern Califor
nia's unusual weather."

Traveling the Road.
Over the hills and over the vales.
Traveling the road as the sunset pales
And In the meadows, well we knew
Flowers were blooming red, white
and blue.
And thru the yellow pines so tall,
Glimpsing a stream and a waterfall,
Viewed from afar as the night closed
down,
Twinkling lights of a little town.
Crossing a bridge where a canyon
deep
Winds thru the mountains, rough and
steep.
Rounding a curve., where the moon
light plays.
Bathing the earth with Its golden
rays.
Rolling along as the stars shine bright
Calm and serene as a summer night.
Onward we glide while the time goes
by.
Traveling the road. Just you and I.
