some form but plans to in troduce it in the coming season have bounced up against stumbling block The West is willing to can promise on what further blocking it would like The East however rgfuses to budge from its stand The deadlock means that the blocking rule in the Western in terprovinclal Football Union and the BigAFour league lnla59 will remain much the some as it is now it permits the linemen and tw privileg halfhaeks to block up to the third fiveyard stripe ahead of the line of scrim mage FORECASTS WRONG it had been widely forecast by teanr officials in the lastcouple of months that the Canadian Football Leaguerulescommilhee would approve unlimited block ing on all running plays by the linemen and perhaps by the two privileged backfieiders But the six man committee announced Sunday that because unanimous agreealcnt couldnt be reached it had shelved the idea Lew Hayman of Toronto Argo nauts one of the three eastern representatives on the committee sat dtbe West held out for unlim ited blocking by lineran and by at least the two privileged half backs after originally proposing that it apply to all backfieldars Hayman said the other eastern delegates stood firm that it be restricted to linemen although he himself was willln to go along with the Wests revised propos of including the two halfbatks The other easterners on the com mittee were general manager Jake Gaudaur of Hamilton Tiger Cats and Jim McCaffery of Ot tawa Rough Riders wanted agreement on some change rather than stick t3 the present rule Hayman sai think the running attack naeds bit of

of including the Mo bdokflelders or the Easts idea of restricting it to linemen We couldnt resolve the differ ences so the present rule is in for another year at least There is minor change in the rule insofar as who are the privi leged halfbacks allowed to block with the linemento the third fiveyard stripe fnsdvanee of the scrimmage line They will be the ones flanked farthest away fmm the end
