(AI' Photo. r Five Changes In High School Grid Rules Are Made The National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations announced five changes in football rules al the close of its loiir-duy meeting. North Carolina was ad mitted at this meeting, leaving only two states I hat are not mem bers. The changes: 1 If a foul occurs during a backward pass or fumble there will be no mandatory loss ol tne uan. 2. A team may hold distance legally gained before a foul occurs. 3. On punt returns, the penauy for a foul usually will be measured from the point of return, not af fecting the original point. 4. On free kicks, there will be no second kick if the ball goes out of bounds. Instead, it will go to the receiver's 40-yard line, or to the line where it went out of bounds, whichever is most Vidvan tageous to the receiver. 5. If an eneligible receiver cat ches a pass in or behind the scrim mage line, the penalty will be five yards instead of 15. There will be no penalty for accidentally touch ing the ball. H. V. Porter, executive secretary, said there was "considerable dis cussion" of a proposal to permit players to advance a fumble. He said the state of Oregon will be used again next season as an ex perimental field for study of the matter. Porter said no equipment chang es were made because Ihe asso ciation tell there was "no specific need" for them but that the mat ter will remain under study.
