NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-Foot-
ball will be more honest next
fall-on the field, at least--if
the wishes of the NCAA Rules
Committee are respected.
Winding up two and half days
Of deliberations, the committee
yesterday adopted six changes in
the. rules and made two strong
appeals to coaches for more hon-
est and careful observance Of
other important rules. !.
Two of the three changes were
designed to prevent unfair de-
ception on offense-the outlaw
ing Of the "hideout" play and
q new provision concerning plays
where a middle lineman tackle,
guard or center) becomes eligible
to receive forward passes. AN
other will help keep the defense
honest" by providing more OPP
portunities for fake place-kicks.
Substitution Rule Changed.
The most important change
was in the substitution rule--a
short step backward from the
mo platoon" rule adopted two
years ago. This will permit any
player who starts q quarter to
leave the game and re-enter'
once during that quarter. Col
laterally. the four minute "seg-
ment" in the second and fourth
quarters was eliminated.
But the committee decided
not to try this time to solve two
of its biggest headaches false
starts and elbow blocks--by
changing the rules. Instead. q
strong appeal will be addressed
to officials and commissioners
for stricter enforcement Of the
rules and to coaches to observe
them.
It was the second straight year
the committee had refused to
change the rule on false starts
after a hullabaloo over sucker
shifts In 1853. Last year an ap-
peal.to coaches and officials. plus

man.
Sees Complications.
Explaining that the discussion
had taken up about Q third Of
the committees time. Crisler said
a rule limiting the movement Of
linemen could lead to any num-
Der Of complications.
It might eliminate shift plays
entirely. It could lead to penal
ties when q player misses a sig
nal and wants to re-huddle, It
could give the defense an advan-
tage on punt formations, And 1t
could be an unfair penalty on
the majority Of coaches who OBJ
serve the spirit Of the rule.
Tad Wieman of Denver, COM
mittee secretary, added: Were
trying to avoid curing one evil by
getting into . half dozen others"
If this appeal doesn't work,
Crisler said. the committee rs
prepared to take very drastic ac-
tion within the next year"

RICHMOND, Mar. 4.-George
Washington's path to repeat as
Southern Conference basketball
champion gets rocker tonight as
the Colonials take on Richmond
in the windup game of the semi
finals double-header.
After breezing past Davidson
in last nights first round, 74-36.
the Colonials go against a team
that handed them one of their
two conference defeats during
the regular season and which will
be playing on its home floor and
before its home crowd.
Richmond was a 90-75 winner
over William g. Mary in last
nights windup of first-round &C
ton. The Spiders were ahead all
the way in the rubber game be-
tween the two this season, get
ting just enough opposition to
keep them in fine competitive
trim for tonight.
Mountaineers Pressed.
Tonight's opening semifinal at
7:30 in Richmond Arena matches
West Virginia, the top conference
team during the regular season,
and Washington & Lee. The
Mountaineers had unexpected
trouble winning their first-round
test yesterday afternoon over
Virginia Military, 1866, while
W&L won with surprising ease
over Furman, 97-63. W&L's score
broke the tournament one-game
record of 81 points set by West
Virginia two seasons ago, also
over Furman.
Both games tonight should be
corkers. CIV and Richmond
have split two meetings this sea-
son on the Arena floor, while
CIV won a third game in Wash
ington. West Virginia twice has
beaten W&L by 10 and II points.
But the Generals currently are
the hottest article in the tour

13 games, with seven in a row.
