Grid Coaches May Get
Defensive Headaches

DALLAS, Tex, April IL Up -
There will be more scoring and
more color but there also will be
more defensive headaches stem
ming from the new football rules,
Southwest Conference coaches say.
But they all declare they like
The rule permitting forward pass
inc anywhere behind the line OF
scrimmage. The other new rules
are OK, too.
Coach D. X. Bible of Texas, a
member of the National Rules Com
mittee, observed at least three
rules-the penalty for twice kick
ing out of bounds, allowing a sub
stitute to report to any official.
and prohibiting time out in the
last two minutes Of each half
were designed primarily for bene-
fit of the fans.
People get tired of dashing out
to the stadium in order to be
there for the kickoff only to see
the ball booted out of bounds"
Bible declared. He believes the
new rule which puts the ball in
play on the kicking teams 40
yard line will take care of the
situation.
Coach H. N. Russell of Southern
Methodist, thinking of the defense
said, its certainly going to cause
coaches to lose a lot of sleep"
Glen Rose, head mentor at
Arkansas, doesn't think the rule
will bring any radical change in
offense, although admitting the
added threat to the defense. He
said in professional games he had
Witnessed, he had seen few passes
thrown from less than five yards
back of the line.

Even II the club wasn't so good

nave to give it tumble because of
its pitchers, as no other team can
start the season with two chuck

respectively. Mort Cooper and
Ted Wilks are the gents with the
records, and they'll have help.
Lefty Max Lanier, for one, and
6llx Donnelly ana Eldred Byerly.
Walker Cooper still is around to
do some catching, and in the event
ne leaves, there is the Veteran Ken
O'Dea, who would be firststring
on many a club.
We've tried to argue ourselves
into picking some other team. We
tried to Like the Reds, but the yes,
no, yes, no mental debates always
ended up no. The same with the
Pirates, who have strong backing
in some quarters.
The best we could give any 9TH

OF the seven other clubs. The
Cards just seem to have it, that's
all.
