Having made these six changes 10
throw safeguards around the game,
they took up a discussion OF ~ t"o
plans for directing the style OF pray
and strengthening the offense sulii-
GENTLY to balance The new emporium
tiles for defense. The 81 Plan con-
tains two main features.
Limitation of the Forward Pass.
a. Limitation OF the orWar
pass to territory behind the Iine OF
scrimTnage: % limitation OF ,he
width of scrimmage lines. These two
provisions of plan 1 cOhere in d gen
aral design 30 make forward passes
and quarterback runs better GROUND
gamers by opening up the play ana
compensating for the weakness OF the
otrense in other ways.
Two schemes for defining the width
of the scrimmage lines were proposed.
One was an arbitrary limit OF hEe
wards on each side OF the balls: the
other was limitation OF the line or
defense to the width OF the line or
the offense. Everything that tends
to thin out the line invites mass plays.
BY narrowing the line n committee
hopes both to strengthen it, and thus
to make end runs more profitable.
VIII 1t Result III Too Much scoring!
The main objection so far raised to
this first plan, is limiting the for
ward pass and the width OF the line,
is thai it may result in too much
scoring. This will be determined by
experiment.
The second Of general style Of
play under consideration provides for
ten yards distance to be gained. The
forward pass under this plan, would
be allowed beyond the line OF scrln-
mage, with the present requirement
of running to either side. five yards
from the center, and With the add
tional condition that on forward pass
es the ball may be received only by
the men on the end Of the lines or by
the backs. At present the tackles
are allowed to receive the ball. In
case Of an u~ncofnpleted forward pass,
the ball is to be brought back TO the
point at which the pass is made and
the PLAY is to be counted as one down.
This loss OF a down is the only penalty
attached. except that in case the man
who passes the ball and first carried il
toward his own goal. the distance he
ran backwards would be lost to his
team.
Such decrease in the penalty at
tached to use Of the orWar pass
would operate. the committee feels,
or greater use Of the play.
AT the beginning Of the second and
fourth quarters teams are to change
goals, the ball being put in play at the
same relative position in which it was
at the beginning OF the preceding
quarter.
