WS) football today boasts two new rules designed to aid the offensive team and build up scoring.

The rules were created by the Rules Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, meeting here. They will go Into effect with the 1938 season. Wr Rr bkesonrchalrmarr-of -the committee, announced: 1 All forward passes tossed over the goal line and' there becoming Incomplete, except passes made on the fourth down, will be treated as though the ball struck the ground on the field of play. At present any incomplete pass over a goal line results In a touch-back, automatically transferring the ball to the defensive team 20 yards out. The rule change permits "three tries for a scoring pass Instead of one.

An Incomplete toss behind the chalk line on the fourth down will, as now, result In a 2 When the ball goes fcounds between the goal lines or i veuuinea ueau wiuun io yaras oi sidelines, it shall be-put 4n play at spot 15 yards from that line instead of 10 yards, as heretofore, The two rule changes were heralded by the coaches as a great aid to the offense of the garnet with a corresponding buildup in spectator Interest. I The Coaches Association favored ruling a pass Incomplete, when It touches an ineligible player behind the scrimmage Instead Riving the ball to the opponents! Action on this important change was deferred after much debate. Another proposed chance, which, would Impose a penalty for Intentionally grounded passes, was referred to a subcommittee for study.
