No Gridiron Rule Changes Suggested Long Beach, Calif. (U.R) Everyone in the whole, wide na tion liked the way college foot ball was played in 1955. At least that's the impression gained by the Football Rules committee as it went into its sec-, ond day of the winter session here today. The good news came about when the subcommittee on rules changes, headed by Coach Lou Little of Columbia university, failed in supeest a sinale change in the rules, it was the first time in the 50-year history of the committee that some coacn hadn't suggested a change in the rules. TV Something Else But while the rules appear to be set for 1956, the television situation, is something else again. The NCAA council wound up Thursdav bv appoint ing Howard Grubbs, executive secretary of the Southwest Ath letic conference, as chairman of the TV committee and among the things on the agenda was a suggestion that the group look into the possibilities ot pay-as-you-go. television.
