FAVOR CHANGE IN PASS RULE Football Coaches Favor Change In Forward Pass Rules | Chicago, Dec. 27 (U.R) A can- ; vass of a gronp of the outstand- ' ing football coaches attending the 13th annlml convention revealed today that the most populai rul-s suggestion made in the report of Coach Hoary Kipke. Michigan, comer's the forward pass in the I end gone. I Kipke. chairman of the coaches', I committee on rules changes, out-, . lined seven possible changes to ! speed up the offensive ’in his re- ■ port yesterday. Os the seven, the; | one which found the must favor i witli the <oaches was: “Oil first, second and third down permit a pass in the endzone to be ruled incomplete in-| stead of a touchback.” Noble Kizer. . Purdue. feels that adop’ion of this rule by the; national rul's committee which meets in February would give the offense the edge over the de-; tense. “Most teams have more trouble scoring from inside the 20-yard line in important games than from outside that zone." said Kizer. If a quarterback knew lie would not lose possession of the ball if a pass failed in the end zone, he ; would open up wth more passes and consequently more scoring would develop.” Most of the coaches feel that there is little chance that the rules committee will make any drastic changes this year. A discussion of the changes suggested by Kipke was expected to come up today, with ( a possible vote. Kipke pointed out that a lot , of the dissatisfaction over the rules among the spectators was i caused by the coaches themselves I who were constantly criticizing I the rules in print and making sug- I gestions for changes. I BANK PROB! EMS FACE CONGRESS < rcnNTTNI’En FROM PAGE ONE) The hub of both plans is unification of the banking system al- ! though Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of the Rockefeller-con-trolled Chase National bank, would approach unification grad- , ually. The Morgan-controlled Guaranty Trust Co:, of New Yolk has ;; advanced the theory that the dual , system is outgrown. Both the > ' Rockefellers and the Morgan firm ’ want an extension of the right of, national banks to operate branches. The Glass bank reform bill ’ passed last session authorized I national banks to operate branches | in states which extend that privi- i lege to state banks. The number I is fewer than one third of the 48 I states. The state banker has been dra-l matized for congress in the person of the little fellow about to; be overwhelmed by the grea' financial interests. On that issue j Senator Long. Dem . Ln., blocked the Glass bank bill in two sessions of congress. He opnosed its branch bank features. The argument was advanced tlia* extension of national bank branches would be the beginning of the end for the state banker with his lnti-j mate contacts and undivided al-| legiance within his own common-i ity. Advocates of unification of general branch banking contend that hanking in this country should be brought to a single high standard and maintained there by rigid inspection and control.
