CHICAGO, April g. Suggested
theme song for the National Foot
ball League Rules Committee meet
ing in Philadelphia April l8:
"Therell be some changes made"
At least it appears that way, since
43 suggestions ranging from -evolu-
tionary proposals to clariflcation of
present rules and changes in off,
ciating technique will be considered
when the committee convenes a day
in advance of the leagues spring
meeting.
Ten major changes, including
legalizing of coaching from the
bench and awarding of one point for
kickoffs which pass through the
plane of the goal, are among the
proposals to be offered.
Would Erase Dull Spots.
Others are designed to eliminate
dull spots from the game by stim-
ulating kickoff and punt returns.
One suggestion would establish a
restraining line beyond which men,
bers of the punting team could not
advance until after the receiver had
caught the ball.
Ofdcials are advocating legaliza-
ton of coaching from the bench.
contending the present ban on such
activity is ineffective and that many
coaches are guilty of fragrant viola
tions.
Coaches, however. are expected to
oppose the suggestion. Their re-
sponsibillty for the success or failure
of their teams is great enough now
and they do not cherish the idea OF
being held to account for every mis-
take Of strategy by their boys on the
field.
Earl Cavanaugh, veteran league
head linesman, is sponsoring the
proposal for awarding point for g
field goal on a kickoff. Among
other things he says this would helr
discourage out-of- bounds kickoffE
which slow up the game.
Some Other Proposals.
Other proposals would;
% Extend the rule protecting
the kicker to cover the holder oi

BY ORLO ROBERTSON,

NEW YORK, April 8.-The turn
stiles clicked of an attendance re-
cord and the pari-mutuel machines
beat out a near-record tune as New
York's racing season opened today
at Jamaica, but the favorite players
took 1t on the chin as Devil Diver
defeated Apache in the Paumonok
Handicap.
Surprising the track record Of
1924 set on the opening day three
years ago. 45,796 fans taxed every
facility of the compact Long Island
track and poured $2,601 1886 through
the machines to approach the world
betting record for seven races of
s2,852,414 established at Jamaica
last fall.
But when it came to selecting the
winner of the 6-furlong Paumonok,
they neglected the 5-year-old son of
st. Germans from Mrs. Payhe Whit
ney's Greentree Stable and backed

dried out thoroughly from morning
rains
Gro0ms' Pay Demand Met.
Brownie, carrying the silks of Joe
w. Brown, trailed Apache by an
other length to take third money in
a race that saw Devil Diver earn
$6,625 for Mrs. Whitney. AS the
second choice in the betting, Devil
Diver paid $3.50, s430 and s3.40
across the board.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes was
an argument that threatened to
curtajl the sport today and maybe
next week. Just before the horses
were due in the saddling paddock
for the first race, the grooms de-
mandad that the Metropolitan
JOCKEY Club pay IS to each for
leading horse into the paddock
and to hike the pay of the winner
from $40 to SIS.
john Shevlin, manager of the
track, granted the request of the
groomz for today only but said it
would rot be done next week. As it
was. the first race was delayed
nearly 30 minutes.
