CHICAGO. Dec. 9-The Western
Conference, it appears, is ready tc
start a return to prewar football
standards, embellished, however, by
q proposal to heave the stop-watch
over the goal posts.
The conference faculty commit

ing of war-relaxed eligibility norms
but the league coaches at the same
time did a bit of strategical hand
spring by recommending that foot.
kall games should last 160 plays in
stead of so minutes.
The proposal to divide grid con.
tests into four quarters of 40 plays
each instead of 15-minute periods
was one of five recommendation
approved by the coaches at the final
session of the leagues winter meet
ing for presentation to the National
Football Coaches Association meet

Plan Has Dissenters.
1t was the opinion of most of the
coaches that adoption of the pro-
posal would allow better demon
stration of superiority, pointing to
numerous occasions a team was
stopped near the goal line by the
running out of time. Some grid OBJ
servers. however, expressed belief
that 40 plays would consume more
time than the IS minutes now al
lowed, stating that in an average
game about 100 to 120 plays are ex-
ecuted
The coaches suggested that the
National Rules Committee give
some thought" to adoption of such
q plan. They also recommended:
That a 2-inch Tee be allowed for
kickoffs. considerable criticism was
directed last fall against so-called
'hat" kickoffs resulting in low, Graz
ily-spinning boots.
