New Grid Rules
Changes Should
Please Everyone
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Football this fall should satisfy
everybody, even the losing team.
Advocates of two-platoon foot
ball got what they wanted. Advo
cates of two-way football got
enough to force the coach to in
struct a player both on offense
and defense.
Whereas in 1964, two-platoon
football depended entirely on
whether the clock was stopped,
this year it will be when the ball
changes hands.
The fact that the ball changed
hands last year did not stop the
clock, so a team couldn’t shift
to its defensive team on the first
down after the ball changed
possession unless it took a time
out and it only had four per half
without penalty.
Actually, the time when a coach
wants to change platoons the
most is when his team has ex
hausted its offensive plays and
must go on defense. (Making
change of possession the point on
which platooning is based instead
of when the clock has stopped
gives the coach this privilege.
Last year there was a wild
card rule that allowed two play
ers to be substituted on any down.
So there was no question of hav
ing to take time out to get in
the kicker when a team was ready
to surrender its offense. This
rule has been continued.
The only way the two-way ad
vocates have scored is that when
a team has to kick it can’t change
to the defensive platoon. Rather
it must play the fourth down with
its offensive team in there, thus
only at this stage of a game will
and
blockers become tacklers
tacklers become blockers.
However, this one little rule
will force the coaches to teach
their boys to play both ways.
But there never will be the
question of the quarterback hav
ing to play defense, something a
coach would look upon with
horror, because he would be run
ning the risk of having the heart
of his offense hurt. The two wild
cards on any down will take care
of this situation.
Two-platton was legislated out
in 1952. The difference in two-
platoon football then and under
the new rule this year is that a
full team could be substituted at
any time then although if it came
on any down except when the ball
changed hands there had to be
a timeout. But in those days a
team had five legal timeouts per
half and they didn’t need to
change teams many times in cases
where it would cost them time
outs.
There were four changes in the
rules this year with free substi
tution the major switch.
The tee for place kicking has
been raised from one inch to two
inches.
On a kickoff this year, if the
ball goes out of bounds after
being touched by both teams
there will be no penalty and the
ball will be downed where it went
out. Last year there would have
been a penalty of five yards and
the kickoff brought back for an
other try. This year, even if the
kicking team touches the ball
there will be no penalty so long
as the defensive team has touched
it, whether first or last.
