Changes Planned in Foot ball Rules : Assoeia-
 lions Meeting

NEW YORK, Jan. - Football was held directly responsible for 2l fatalities, two of which occurred in College ranks, during the past campaign. according to the 18th annual survey presented today by Dr. Floyd R. Eastwood of Purdue University before the American Football Coaches Association and the Football Rules Committee of the NCAA.
 pr. Eastwocds recommendation for further, safeguarding players by appointing a committee to study the design of headgear coincided with one of the five rule changes asked yesterday by the Coaches themselves.
 The Coaches had recommended that wearing apparel of players should he softened wherever possi- ble, pointing cut that many in juries had resulted from hard elbow pads, forearm pads and knee brac- es.
 Subject to approval by the NIGGA Rules Committee and the National Rules Committee which meets at Keerville, Texas, later this month, the 1947 Code would provide that the ball be declared dead on a  blocked try for extra point.
 Widening the playing zone after an out-cf-bounds play by moving the ball 20 yards from the side lines instead of the present Is yards and extension Of the free substitution rule to permit two subs to enter the game at one time with the clock still running were ether recommendations.
 Clarification of the ruling on a shift that tends to draw the de- fense offside" was asked in the committee report drafted from questionnaries filled out by 1,157 members.
