College Football Rule Changes Listed j L/isted below, for the benefit of "grandstand limps'* and other student* of the game, are the most Important National Collegi j ate Athletic Association football rules changes adopted by the rules makers at a meeting ? in PLnehurst last winter. Nineteen changes were made after the 1949 season. Eleven were minor, with two of the re maining eight ('air catch and flying block) merely bringing the | written code up to par. ' ? ? The eight major changes are: 1? TEN ? MAN PLAY MADE LKGAL. This legalizes play when one side has fewer than eleven players on tne Ileld; It's okay to go with ten. There's a penalty of 15 yards if more than eleven players arts detected, but it is not retroactive. In the days, of mass substitution teams often wind up with less or more than eleven men in action, so this clears it up. 2? FIVE FOT LIMIT LINE. A chalk line, five feet out, will ex tend around ,the entire field to keep back coaches, subs photo PLASTIC RAINCOATS # For Ladles $1.98 in beautiful colors: red. blue, and green.

Piedmont Ave. Telephone a2S?W- > jgraphers. cheer leaders, drunks, etc, There's a 15-yard penalty for the team breaking the rule after one warning. 3? FAIR CATCH ELIMINATED. You remember this one ? a punt receiver held up his and for a fair catch and couldn't be tack led, the ball being dead there when heqaught it. Now he can't make any such signal but has free opportunity to catch the ball. Many coaches are changing punt formations to haVe .more ? men down the field to bother the re ceiver so he will let the ball roll for distance. 4? FIVE TIMES OUT INSTEAD OF FOUR PER HALF. This chan ge gives a team a chance, with /out penalty, to get a key player ! into the lineup. Times out are ' granted at request of team cap ; tain or incoming sub. This means j a coach can iiiSert a kicker with out his captain's request and not I draw a penalty, 5? SAME PROTECTION FOR HOLDER OF PLACE KICK AS FOR KK'KKR. There has never been a rule protecting the man ! holding the ball and he has I sometimes been ganged and hurt, j Now he can't be touched until he j gets to his feet. Just as roughing of the kicker is Illegal; penalty i is 15 yards. 6? OFFENSIVE USE OF EL ! BOWS STRICTER, An offensive [ blocker may not contact a defen sive man above the shoulders with his elbows No more upper cut to the jaw. But when a de fensive man dives or ducks his head he loses this protection. 7? DEFENSIVE "RIP-UP" BAR RED. This also deals with el bows, meaning a defensive man cannot suddenly, hook his elbow in what is know among players as the "rip-up." You've seen it out there on the field ? a sudden snap of arm upward. Now a de fensive player's hands or arms must be in contact with an op ponent in advance of the elbows. 8? FLYING BLOCK AND FLY ING TACKLE NO LONGER FOR BIDDEN. These plays, after being illegal for a number of years, are no longer in the rules book. Like the fair catch, they were Just ob solete, anyway. Change's in rules usually bring feffarifet-lhri vtfties. bu'i thtff dte&j not seem possible in relation to ' , -Q. and SOCIAL SECURITY By Leola M. Byerly. Field R?p j Gastonla Social Security Office - "I was first covered by the so- j cial security law in 1950. How long will it be before I will be in- j sured?" That's a question our office and other social security offices are being asked every day since the amended Social Security Act be came a law. In most cases, the answer is a year and a half for survivor's in- j surance ? that is for your family j to be entitled to payments in case of your death. For you, yourself, | tor qualify- for old-age insurance ' payments, if you are 63 years old or older, you must have worked a year and a half in employment covered by the social law. A sliding scale requires longer em ployment for those who reach age 65 after 1953, but in no case will a person be required to have more than 10 years of employment un- j der social security. For example ? a person aged '65 or over on September. 1950, ? j the time theamended Social Se curity Act became a law ? would be'fully insured for benefit pay ments if he had at least six | "quarters of coverage." A quarter i of coverage is a calendar quarter "where he was paid $50 in work covered by social security. Six uarters of coverage amount to a ( year and a half. Let us assume that he did not earn the six quar- } ters of coverage after 1950, but these. It will still be the same game. The new restrictions on- I use of elbows should cut Injuries, whiehis^wftat i^eywerede??Ki*f?d ? to do. had earned sufficient quarters of j coverage before 1950 to make a ! total of six.'He would still be ful j ly insured at age 65. It is the six quarters of cover age provision of the ne\\ law that S will give immediate or early old age and survivors insurance pro tection to numbers of workers not qualified for social security be- ' fore. Many people now 65 or over wfll be enabled to draw rctirfe invent benefit payments right a way. Some people who filed a so cial security claim under the oid j law but did not have enough so- 1 cial security credit to qualify them, may now be eligible for' payments. We are making efforts j to get In touch with all such per sons Jn this.area. In my next, and following arti cles, I shall discuss the several groups of workers to whom Fed eral social security will be ex tended beginning on the first of January. | The popularity of peppers in f the United States has increased greatly during the past 30 years. ; ? ? ? ? ~ E.
