The National Collegiate Ath letic Association authorized five changes by the Rules Commit tee yesterday, including a dras tic penalty for the use of the out-of-bounds klckoff and legali sation of forward passing any where behind the line of scrim mage. . . . The out-of-bounds penalty does not affect the first klckoff, but the kicking team must re peat the play. If the second klckoff is out of bounds, the re ceiving team shall put the ball In play at the point from which It was kicked, the kicking team's 40-yard line. The rules makers also provided for use of an ele vated one-inch tee tor ine kick off to provide accuracy. The liberalization of the for ward pass play eliminates the ' previous restriction making pass ers operate five yards or more behind the line or scrimmage. The minor changes provide that substitutes may report to any official, the center in pass ing the ball may have no part of his body ahead of it and nts feet must be behind It, and if a player uses his hands or arms in blocking, he must have his hands In contact with his own body. E AS IT REFEREE Portland, Me., April a (U.R) Sabe Ruth, making three times as much for one wrestling match s for a single game in his home run hey-day with the Yankees, wasn't sure whether to go on as a mat referee today, but he did know for certain that "it's great to be back In sports again." The bambino, greatest base ball slugger of all time, admitted that he had gone to wrestling for a career because the executives of the diamond had snubbed him for 11 years since he laid down his bat and glove. Getting $1,(100 per match for Ms work as third man, he had to take plenty of punishment to earn it. Handling a match be tween Leo Numa of Seattle, Wash., and Manuel Cortex of East Boston, ha was threatened constantly by Cortci, the "tough man" In the act. Cortex threat ened to hit the Babe and ad vanced toward h I m several times, but Ruth stood his ground and yanked the pair apart vig orously on numerous occasions.

April , IMS SEALS DEFEATED By United Press Some Pacific Coast League managers were seriously think ing today of taking out accident insurance on their pitchers. This sad state of affairs has been brought about by prodig ious stlckwork on the part of several clubs during the three-day-old season. If it keeps up, the poor moundsmen aren't go ing to be able to duck all the line drives that have been screeching out to the fences. For example, the Los Angeles Angels shellacked the San Fran cisco Seals, 16 to 8, yesterday after the two clubs had partici pated in several games that re sembled the national pastime, The Seals led, 3-2, until the last of the sixth when the Angels made less than 2,000 customers dizzy by tallying 11 times. Portland massacred Oakland again, 0-2, while Seattle tram pled on San Diego, 12-1, and Sacramento whipped Hollywood 0-1. Line Scores!
