They are gradually building up ten

poisoning not only the game of the

wearing themselves down, as well as
the play of everybody else.

nearly every fine golfer is also fairly

COACHES OPPOSE
PASS 7OUCHBACK
Change in End Zone Heave
Rule Only Revision Apt
to Be Recommended.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n 1EW YORK, February s.
M Foot ball coaches, who
Y tuSsled with the rules
through the Autumn,
gathered today to formulate
their official expression OF opin-
ion concerning those rules.
Under the craftsmanship of Lou
Little of Columbia. the Rules Commit
tee of the American Foot Ball
Coaches Association had five major
propositions to go over at today'S
meeting. but only one was expected to
meet with approval That was to
change the rule about forward passes
into the end zone, eliminating the
automatic touchback for pass
grounded over the goal line.
The Coaches Committee is expected
to forward to the National Rules
Committee, which meets in two weeks
at Atlanta, a new rule which treats
a forward pass over the goal just the
same as a pass in any other section
of the field, the ball going back to
where it was downed on the previous
play and going to the other team at
that point in case of an incompleted
pass on the fourth down.
The suggestions which were not ex-
pected to draw favorable vote from
the committee were:
Elimination of the "dead-ball" rule
which stops play instantly when any
part of the ball carriers body except
his hands or feet touch the ground.
Proposal to bring the ball in IS
yards from the sideline instead of 10
on plays that cross the boundary.
Return of the goal posts to the goal
line.
Permission to forward pass from any
point behind the line of scrimmage
instead of requiring the pa.sser to be
S yards behind the line.
