FASTER GRID GAME
SOUGHT FOR PREPS
New Field Goal, Pass Rules to
Tilt Scoring Next Fall
Are Advocated.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Jan. s.-The Football
Rules Committee of the National
Federation of 1nterscholastic Athletic
Associations went into its annual ses-
sion today, with the possibility of lay
ing the basis for a faster, higher
scoring prep game next fall.
Representing 81 States and approxi-
mately 10000 schools, the prep rule
makers were ready to decide on sew
eral rule changes, majority of which
would aid the offense and make
higher scoring possible.
A proposal which would encourage
field goal attempts received much
support at yesterdays round-table dis
cussion. It would require teams intend
ing to try for field goal to announce
that intention. The officials then
would move the ball up 10 yards.
Should the kick fail, the ball would
be moved back on the next play.
Also on the agenda was a proposal
to permit any number of forward
passes instead of one, provided they
are thrown from behind the scrim-
mage line. A proposal to permit COM
pletion of a pass after it has first been
touched by an eligible pass receiver
also was expected to receive considera-
ton.
Under present regulations. team
which commits foul during a kick
is penalized by loss Of the ball. Many
on1cials believe this penalty too dras-
tic and propose that it be replaced
by one which would call for enforce
ment OF the usual penalty and have
the down played over.

With the season opened last Monday
night by Northwestern's victory over

tonight for a campaign expected to
produce the highest scoring spree in
Western conference history.
Elimination of the center jump, in
addition to speeding up play, kept the

games this winter is expected to surge
upward. Certain to play before a
large crowd will be Illinois and Michi-

Purdue's point minute" team,
which won eight straight games with
an average of almost so points a

much resistance at Chicago, but the
Ohio State-Northwestern game at
