'he game still Is unsatisfactory to i many coaches and athletic directors. 1 ] Changes In the rules have been advocated and adopted pvery year until Tie technical side of football today to more resembles that of 1910 than i 1927 model limousine resembles a liver of two decades ago. | To Make Recommendations The Coaches’ Association Is poweress to change the rules, that atithorty being vested in the Intercollegiate ootball rules committee but. the which arise from bis week's meeting probably will lie I nfluential. | Here are some of the present footI iall features which will be attacked: j The prevalence of the forward pass I The shift play. I The point following touchdown. 1 The “so many minutes per quarter" system j The huddle play. 1 Those who guide gridiron destinies I ttempted to restrict the forward I ass this year by imposing a 5-yard I -enalty for each incomplete pass I fter the first in a series of downs. I tut the rule did not act as a deterI ent and the coaches may attempt to I ind another method to curtail the I verhead game. I | Western conference officials, who I ecently adopted a rule calling for a 1 | -second interval in shift formations I etween the shift and start of play, I robably will attempt to have this I egulation adopted nationally. Such, I oaches as Knute Rockne, “Biff", I ones, will oppose it, however. I Discontinuance of the point' after I ouch down long has been advocated I y several football mentors. With the I laim that one point victories are too I iuch the indication of luck rather I han skill, but the practice of a try 1 or the additional point probably I ill be retained. I Reggie Brown will be on hand to I urther his perennial campaign for I he 40-plays-a-period game, eliminab|ng the stopwatch. But there is no I eason to believe that his arguments I rill have any more effect this year I han usual.

Despite the belief among many oaches and referees that the huddle lay should be abolished, no such ecommondation Is expected. It I >robably will.be left to the individual I earn. j Brig. Gen.
