Joint Rules Committee at Its annual
meeting In New York. The only re
striction on the forward pass prohibits!
a prospective thrower of the pass from
rounding the ball when the defense
breaks through and blocks the way.
The most radical change which was
made by the committee was barring
the coaches from the side lines during
the game. Under the system of coach
ing followed at many of the colleges
the head coach, walking up and down
the line during the game. In many
cases, absolutely controlled the cam
paign which was being carried on la
the field.
The rule which disqualified a play
er for running into and roughing the
full back was modified so that the
rule now reads "roughing the full
back." The words "running Into"
were eliminated because often a play
er runs into tbe full back unintention
ally when he Is not able to check his
progress. As the rule now stands the
officials are to decide whether the
roughness was intentional.
