more vigorous men than do the

By HAROLD HARRISON
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 12 (P)
Already confronted with a rec
ommendation by coaches that re
visions be made in the football
rules, the National Collegiate
Athletic association formally
opened its 39th annual conven
tion here today.
The football coaches, who
have been meeting for two days,
submitted five major rules
changes to the NCAA's rules
committee which will meet with
in a few weeks.
The NCAA currently is operat
ing under "frozen" football rules,
but Prof. Philip O. Badger oi
New York university, president
of the organization, said yester
day he believed the time had
come for rulea changes at least
to be "considered."
The major changes proposed
by the coaches would outlaw the
out of bounds kickoff and would
permit the throwing of forward
passes anywhere behind the line ' thrown
of scrimmage. Now the passer 1
must be five yards behind the
line.
The first session today was a
joint meeting of the NCAA, the
Football Coaches association and
the National Physical Education
association.
The NCAA will transact most
of its business tomorrow, includ
ing the adoption of resolutions
and the election of officers.
One of the first thoughts that
popped up was what was the
NCAA going to do about college
basketball teams which are using
proiessionai baseball players,
Prof. Badger was auick to as
sert, however, that that question
already has been settled.
He explained that the NCAA
has its eligibility rules and as
sumes its members will live up
to them. If they don't, they're
ineligible to compete in any of
tne jnuaa tournaments.
In addition to the kickoff and
forward pass changes the coaches
proposed:
1. That use of a one-inch tee
on the kickoff be mandatory.
2. That the hand must be held
against the body in making a
forearm block and the striking
an opponent's face with the el
bow be prohibited.
3. That an attempted lateral
pass which is thrown forward
result in a penalty of five yards
irom me point where the pass is
fensc to run with a recovered
fumble and sharpen the T-attack
by increasing the number of eli
gible pass receivers are among
suggested rule changes to be con
sidered at today's meeting of the
football committee of the nation
al federation of state high school
athletic associations.
The pros now can run with re
covered fumbles, but a prep sug
gestion -that a quarterback be
made eligible to receive a for
ward pass although he first
handles the ball less than a yard
behind the center is more than
the olay-for-pay boys have un
dertaken.
Other proposals would make
the ball dead and an automatic
touchback ruled whenever a
kick crosses the goal line, wheth
er or not a new impulse has been
added, and score as an automatic
first down for the kicking team
any punt it recovers beyond the
scrimmage line if touched by the
receiver.
