C, Jan. 16 U.PJ Approval of football's two-platoon system was the principal is sue as the National Collegiate Athletic association rules com mittee opened its meeting here today. The Football Coaches' associa tion rules committee has recom mended that two-platoon foot ball be okayed for at least one more season, and that even more substitutes be allowed in order to help the smaller colleges, the NCAA group will act on that recommendation during its three or four-day session. Closed Meetings William J. Bingham of Har vard, chairman of the committee, said the group will conduct closed meetings and probably will make no announcement on its decisions until Wednesday. The coaches suggested that the rules be changed to allow one plaver to enter the game be tween each play. Under the present rules, an unlimited num her of substitutions mav be made during time-outs and when the ball changes hands, but at no other time. This proposed change is de signed to help the smaller schools with limited manpower. If the rule is adopted, a star player could be pulled out of the came for a rest, yet sent back as soon as he Is needed. Proposed Changes Other proposed changes under consideration here would: 1. Conduct the coin toss IS minutes before the start of the game to allow coaches to an nounce their starting lineups (of fensive or defensive) before the kickoff. 2. Change the position of the officials so they can get a better look at offsides. 9. Forbid an offensive blocker from striking an opponent on the head, neck or face with locked hands.
