Los Angeles played its second straight game without Jerry West, its 30-point-a-game scorer, who is out with a nose injury. The Lakers lost another regular, Rudy Larusso, on personal fouls when they were only eight points behind with one minute left in the third quarter. playing his best game since returning to the line-up that the rule adopted is a fine one," Curtice said. "This comes so near to free substitution that I don't see flow anyone could kick about it. "The only restriction on platooning is that you can't get in a kicking team on fourth down.

Our offensive will have to go down under punts. But this might give us even better punt coverage because we've got more speed on our offensive teams." Gimmicks Forced Curtice said most coaches thought last year's rule was pretty good, except for the disgraceful gimmicks they were forced to use to get in defensive platoons on fourth down.

But the substitution debate was controversial enough to keep the members in session three days and took up 90 per cent of then time.

The only other noteworthy changes were a revision of the brutality rule to make ramming of any part of the body with a helmet a personal foul and elevation of kicking tees from one to two inches. The previous brutality rule called for a 15 yard penalty only for deliberate ramming of the head, face or neck with the helmet. The higher tees will enable the kickers to get more elevation on the ball and "will help the field goal and extra point kickers," Curtice said.
