Adopt 20-Point IM Grid Plan Board Okays Plan To Cut Injury Toll Rules Aim To 'Open Up' Game By Lessening Bodily Contact By JOHN TROANOVITCH A football Utopia at Penn State—minus all injuries. With that aim in mind, Gene Bischoff's "brain-child" for in tramural football took definite form Tuesday afternoon when the Intramural Board adopted his new 20-point setup, embody ing the most outstanding fea tures of the various intramural codes used throughout the lead ing colleges in the nation. Stating tersely in the pream ble to the rules that "this game is not a modified form of reg ulation 'football" but "a non-physical contact type of game." the Board approved sweeping changes designed to open up the game 'and minimize the possibilities of injuries. In short, highlights of the new program include: Unrestricted eli gibility regarding pass receivers. Legalization of passes from any point in the field. Elimination of crouching stances in scrimmage., Prevention of charging and hip and-shoulder blocking.- Augmentation of penalties, es pecially in case of interference by or with pass receivers. Extension of the "dead ball!' rule to embrace fumbles, punts, and kickoffs. Adoption of an extra four-down period to decide tied games. Substitution of a five-man line and four-man backfield for the reg ulation - 11-man team. Perhaps the most revolutionary of the changes is the one permitting a pasi—forward, backward, or lateral —to any player from any position on the'field provided the man in posses sion of the ball has not been touched. In the case of an incompleted for ward pass, even though preceded by a lateral, the ball will be declared dead and returned to the original scrimmage line with only the loss of a down. ',However, the rule adds, an incompleted lateral or backward pass is a free ball. "If the defense recovers the ball," the rule says, "t is dead at the point of recovery. If the of fense recovers the ball, the player has the option of making another regula tion play." In line with the policy to open up the game, a new "reciprocal" penal ty for interference in pass plays alsd has been adopted. Interference with a pass receiver will give the offense possession of the ball 10 yards be yond the point of interference. On the other hand, interference on the part of the offense will be penalized by the loss of a down and 10 yards from scrimmage. Also adopted was a stringent "blanket" penalty, giving the defend ing team possession of the ball at the "spot of violation" should the offen sive club break any of the rules for which a specific penalty is not pro vided. A defensive violation will re- (Continued on page four) THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Maker Of Champs I BILL JEFFREY Subs Reenforce Lion Soccermen By ROY B.

Boeger Good Luck, THE EYES OF THE EAST ARE ON YOU ! Hillside Ice & Coal Co. Both Cornell, State Employ Warner's Single Wing-Back (First in a series of articles on the football systems of Penn. State and its opponents). By AL McINTYRE Lining up against Cornell tomor- I row, the old Warner system'a la Hig gins is ready, willing, and able to make a successful 1937 debut on the shores of Lake Cayuga. Fans at tomorrow's game will see a battle of two almost identical sys tems. Both Carl Snavely and Bob' Higgins use a dyed-in-the-wool War ner single wing -back formation. This form of offense is used by many of the most successful teams in the coun try, and it is always a subject of con troversy as to whether it is more lef fective than the Rockne system. A balanced offensive line is em ployed only on kick formations, whereas an unbalanced line is used for the regular offensive formation. The center is weakened on offense be cause he must first pass the ball be fore he can block, a difficult handicap. For greater strength at the focal point of attack, both tackles play be side each other on the same side of the line. The forward wall then lines up: end, guard, center, guard, tackle, tackle, end. The side on which the two tackles play is known as the strong side. In right formation the strong side is to the right, and to the left on left formation. The weak side end plays about a yard apart from his guard. The rest of the line is closely knit. The guards are used quite often as running inter ference, pulling out of the line and leading the play. The tackles are right in the thick of things on every play. The strong side end usually teams up with the wing -back in tak ing out the defensive tackle. In the offensive backfield, the wing back, or No. 1 back, plays behind and to the ()aside of the strong side .end. He blocks, receives passes, and car ries the ball on reverses. The No. 2 back lines up about a yard behind the tackle, and is known as the block- • N . A g • • • w• Arrow's New Trump shirt has a new long wearing soft collar.

Three yards behind the strong side guard, the No. 3 back takes his posi tion. Usually the line-crashing full back, he takes the ball on line bucks, spinners, and reverses. The No. 4 back is the triple-threat man if the coach can find one. He lines up four yards behind 'the center, carries the ball often, does most of the passing, and is the punter on quick-kicks. Both Cornell and State use a 6-2-2- 1 defensive formation. State's strong side end crashes, the tackles and the guards are on their own, and the weak side end sifts into the backfield. The 'center plays out of the line ex ,1 cept when inside his own 25-yard line. A combination zone and man to-man pass defense is used. .
