Sikes Believes Changes Will Open Up Football
Jules V. Sikes, Kansas football coach, believes the rule changes adopted by the National Intercollegiate Football rules committee are "good rules."
Coach Sikes said that the elimination of the rule that permitted one substitute to enter the game when the clock was running will encourage the platoon system or whole squad changes and will eliminate such
specialists as patrons. The new rules state that there will be no restrictions on substitutions when the ball changes hands with the clock running, if the changes are made in the 25 seconds allowed.
The change which will permit a player catching a punt in his own end zone to run it out without a penalty will open up the game. The old rule brought the ball to the 20-yard line if the punt carried in bounds into the end zone.
Another change which will rule that an incomplete pass can be thrown when the passer is in his own end zone will encourage offensive play, Coach Sikes said. Formerly such a pass was ruled a safety.
A change in the rule concerning fumbles will bring an out of bounds fumble back to the spot of the fumble if fumbled ahead of the runner. If the fumble goes out of bounds behind the runner the ball will be put in play at the spot where the ball went out of bounds. Coach Sikes expressed his agreement with this rule.
The rule change which will make the man under center, usually the quarterback in the T-formation, ineligible to receive a pass will not effect Kansas or many other football teams the Kansas coach said.
The Kansas coach said the change which compels blockers to keep their hands in contact with their chests when making a chest or body block is a change for the better, but will not effect Kansas. Some players, under the old rule, actually slugged their opponent when they extended their arms. Coach Sikes pointed out that the rule wouldn't effect Kansas because they never played that brand of football.
Plastic headgear is the best type now available, Coach Sikes said, and he is glad no action was taken to ban this type because he believes it affords the best protection. He brought out the fact that there were no fatalities due to college football this year.

5 Major Teams Stay Unbeaten
New York, Jan. 18—(UP)The 1949 college basketball season today reached the point where you could count the major unbeaten teams on the fingers of one hand—just five.
The latest name to be scratched from the hallowed list was Akron university. After winning 10 straight games since the start of the season, Akron received a through 63 to 43 shellacking from Duquesne Monday.
It was the 10th victory in 11 games for the Iron Dukes of Duquesne, who were inside the charmed circle themselves until a short time ago when they were dumped by Yale.
Minnesota, looming as the titan of the Big Nine, kept its place among Nine rival Iowa, 6 to 45, for its 12th victory. The four other select are Villanova, Hamline, St. Louis, and Western Kentucky.
It was a superb shooting performance by sophomore Meyer (Whitey) Skoog that paced Minnesota to its fourth conference victory, putting the Gophers in front in the Big Nine with only Illinois (3-0) also unbeaten in league play. Skoog took 19 boor shots, sank 10 of them, and added 4 free throws for a game-high total of 26 points while Don Hayes had 16 points for Iowa and Jim McIntyre 15 for Minnesota.
Hamline (11-0) will place its record on the line tonight against Augsburg and Western Kentucky (12-0) will also be in action against Memphis State. St. Louis (11-0) will be seen next against Oklahoma A. and M. on Thursday while Villanova (11-0) is idle all this week.
