CP) Four rule changes have been suggested to the Canadian Rugby Union by the Quebec Rugby Football Union, it was announced "today, with Quebec supporters of the changes claiming that their adoption would "revolutionize" Canadian football. The suggested change-, announced today by Bill Hughes, chairman of the sQ.RT.U.

rule committee, will be up for decision at the meeting of the C.R.U. in Toronto Feb. 25. First suggestion is that the game be played over a 60-minute period, with play to resume after each quarter where it left off in the preceding quarter, thus eliminating the present centre kick-off 'starting the third quarter. The QJl.F.U.

claims that this would eliminate "unorthodox" play late in the second quarter I when clubs know that they have not time to complete a drive up the field before the end of the quarter. Second suggestion would eliminate the point now given for a kick to the deadline, and, further, would allow the ball to be brought out to the 40-yard line by the defending team Instead of to the 25-yard line as at present The Idea was put forward as a way of opening up the play by giving the defenders a better chance to try an offensive. The third rule change would allow forward passes behind the line of scrimmage, to speed lateral pass plays and allow for greater movement by the quarterback on getting plays started. It was claimed that at present too many smart lateral plays are spoiled because of slight illegal forward passes. The recommendation provides that only one such forward would be allowed off the original play.

Finally, the QJtJ.U. will suggest that 10-yard interference be allowed linemen an idea that has been mooted in the past and which reports here say. the CJt.U. Is ready to adopt Five-yard interference is allowed at present Himmler Offers Rewards for Sniping O'Clock Editkm Service. ALLIED SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, Feb.

VANCOUVER, Feb.

13. The Royal Canadian Navy today Issued a prepared statement saying- its official Inquiry Into reports that women aboard a Navy tug were Insulted and molested resulted in the conclusion that "the facts as published were grossly- exaggerated, badly distorted and far distant from the The R.C.N. statement was signed by Admiral Brodeur, commanding officer, Pacific coast Text of Statement Text of the statement follows: No evidence was produced by any witness, to indicate there was any. Intoxicating liquor aboard the ship except that which was brought on board by civilian member, or members of the visiting party in contravention of Naval The ship is not authorized to carry a rum Issue. I i The of ruroJ" mentioned in the news article a being in evidence in the engine room, did, in fact, contain issue' disinfectant, carried on board in accordance with, regulation.

One rating, belonging to the tug, did return from overnight leave under the influence of liquor, but was not adjudged by his commanding officer to be unfit for duty. His return preceded arrival of the guest party by several houis. Two other ratings did come under the Influence of liquor during the trip as the result of accepting drinks offered them by members of the visiting party. In this instance both the! giving and accepting were contrary to Naval Regulation. I One rating, belonging to another ship, did come aboard im mediately before arrival of the visiting party, and jwas found to be under the influence of llauor.

Yi story as first published accusing naval personnel, some of whom had done many years in Atlantic convoy duties to protect democracy and I especially freedom of the press, was de liberately published before naval authorities concerned had even a chance to inquire into these reports which were apparently siven to' the press before the naval authorities. The so-called "act of molesta tion" appear to have taken' place as follows: One rating helping a Spar Into an overcoat accompanied the action with an unsolicited The 8 par shook her self free and the Incident ended, It took place in full view of many deck. i One rating, attempting to make a held a Spar by the arm. The same rating attempted to draw a civilian lady Into the ship's galley where drinking was taking place. This rating ws dissuaded without force In both instances.

The cruise was not cut short because ot any Improper acts on board. The facts are that the visiting party arrived one hour and 10 minutes late. The tug left the jetty at 4.10 p.m. returned at 9.00 p.m. because the officer in charge had been advised that transportation Would be awaiting the party at the jetty at that time.

At no time was the officer in charge of the tug approached or requested by any member of the visiting party to bring the ship back or to curtail the cruise, be- cause of any -irregularities. Facilities on board the tug were not such as to deal properly with a party of the nature taken aboard. i At no time any complaint made to the proper naval author! ties by any member of the party concerned. All necessary disciplinary ac tion is being taken with respect to ratings mentioned In the fore going. In issuing this 'statement I feel Impelled to add that in my opinion, the minor incidents which did actually take place, would not have occurred had Canadian, naval regulations not been ignored by.
