Harvard Man Suggests
4O.Play Football Period

boSTON, Feb. IA proposal to
change the rules Of football to reeu-
late the length of a game by the num-
Der Of plays instead Of by time, will bs
CONSIDERED at the next meeting Of the
Football Rules Committee. The plan,
advanced by Harry R. Coffin, a Har-
yard graduate, Ia said to have the en-
aorsement Of Walter Camp, Percy D.
haughton and others prominent in the
sport.
The object is to overcome tn. vile
variation In the number Of plavs In
contests directed by different officials,
and to prevent a team which ia leading
from delaying in order to consume
time. Coffin advocates a 40-play per
icd, with tries for goal after touch
down and penalties for fouls not count
