A hook, sweeping in from the right side to catch the head pin almost flush, sometimes: will take ail the pins off the left side of the alley and leave Nos. 3-6-9-10. The resultant spare doesn’t appear especially hard, but is chiefly because many fail to notice the No. 9 pin hidden hy No. 3. When they fire their hook to hit No. 3 on the left and sweep off 6 and 10, they suddenly find that No. 9 has been screened and still stands. In making such a hidden pin spare, roll your hook so that it hits No. 3 a little to the right of center. The ball will sideswipe No. 6, and go through to take No. 9. No. 6 will take care of No. 10.

nual gathering, they went into a joint ‘session with the N. C. A. A, whch hasn’t seen eye to eye with them in the past. The recommended changes are: 1. In case of a forward pass, all ineligible receivers must remain on
_ | the line of scrimmage until the pass
is. touched or completed. Under present rules, ineligible receivers may go down the field but not beyond the eligible receivers. Violation would mean loss of a down and a 15-yard penalty. 2. A 15-yard penalty from the spot of the previous down plus loss of a down when a forward pass is touched by an ineligible receiver on or behind the line of scrimmage. 3. An exception in connection with the penalty under general Rule 7, Section 6, Article 1, which
‘governs punts from scrimmage, to
the effect that this penalty will not offset a foul committed by the nonkicking team unless it is a disqualifying foul. Under he present rule, the play is called back if the receiving team, after a’ punted ball is touched or downed by the kicking team, which technically commits a foul in doing so. The recommendation would give the punting team the right to refuse the penalty against the receiving team. 4. Modification of the penalty in the case of a foul by a player of the punting team while the ball is in the air and in the field of play. The present rule calls for loss of the ball

which provides a 15-yard penalty and loss of a down for intentional grounding of a pass. 6.
