NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-To safe-j guard school and c6llege football from the mounting toll of casual- ties which reached an unprecedent: ed number last season, the national football rule committee has an- nounced the most drastic revisions the game has known in a quarter century. Chief among six major changes in the playing code for 1932 are regulations which abolish the dan- gerous "flying wedge" formation- from kickoff, and outlaw the ag- gressive use of hands on the de- rensive, with severe penalties for violation further in their seeping move to root out the causes of grid7- iron Miuries and deaths, the rule- makers decided to liberalize the substitution rules, to permit the re- entry of any withdrawn player in any subsequent period; to abolish i the fdying block or tackle, recently developed by many high powered systems; to make the ball "deaC" when any part of the ball carrier's body touches the ground, except his hands or feet; and to alter the players' equipment with greater safety and protection in view.
