rules change
The most sweeping rules changes in five years and the first revision of scoring rules since 1906 should make football more interesting to the fans.
Coach Ralph Ginn believes that grid fans will like the changes approved last January by the Football Rules Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
While most attention has been given to the cha:nge allowing two points for a con­ version scored by rushing or passing, . Ginn believes that it is not the most sig­ nificant revision. He points to the one which limits a blocker to the use of only one arm and hand in carrying out his as­ signment.
In making changes in tactics and sys­ tems to prepare for the new rules, coaches may also shake up other standard ways of doing things to add new variety to the game.
The Jackrabbit coach believes that the new rule allowing the blocker to use only one arm instead of both as previously will make it more difficult to protect the passer on drop-back passes. As a result, fans will probably see more roll-out passes
4
and more run-pass option plys, the most difficult to defend against.
Also there may be a return to the straight shoulder block which was for years the favorite.
The controversial rule giving two points for a conversion by running or passing while continuing to give one point for kicking will not take the "foot" out of football, Ginn forecasts. While there will
• probably. be less kicking on conversion attempts, Ginn believes that fans will see more field goal attempts, especially if a team is one or two points behind late m the game.
The new scoring change is in keeping with the traditional 2-1 ratio of scoring from the field with six points for a touch­ down and three points for a fielct goal, Ginn points out.
•
likely to be serious for a placekicker. The conversion may become one of the
most interesting plays in the game, the State mentor remarks. Coaches will likely · come up with more spread and flanker formations as well as fake kick situations. A return to the dropkick may even result although the modern ball is difficult to control on this play.
The coach admits that Monday morn­ ing quarterbacks will have more fuel for their discussions in deciding whether a team should have tried a kick, run or pass for the conversion.
While the changed rule will cause con­ siderable comment this season, Ginn em­ phasizes that the big problems in football will still be to make touchdowns and pre­ vent the opponent from scoring.
The rule allowing any player, rather than just the starter, to re-enter once each quarter will likely allow coaches to use mere players and substitute quicker. On the other hand, there will be only four in­ stead of five timeouts each half in which to make substitutions.
This season substitutes must report to a designated official, rather than to any official. The· North Central Conference will have home team players report to an
official wearing a yellow arm sleeve with visiting players reporting to an official with a red sleeve. •
A greater premiu:U is placed on having a good kickoff artist by the rule penaliz­ ing the kicking team five yards each time its kickoff goes out of bounds. Formerly the opposing team received the ball on the restraining line, usually the 50 yard line, after two kicks went out of bounds.
Ginn also favors the rule change allow­ ing the ineligible receiver to start down­ field as soon as a forward pass is thrown rather than to have him wait until the ball is caught. This will help provide blocking for the pass receiver and aid against long returns on an interception. Ginn believes that the rule may bring about more use of the screen pass, an interesting play for the spectators.
The penalty for having an ineligible receiver downfield has lso been lessened to 15 yards :,vithout loss of down. For­ merly the offending team lost the down as well as receiving a 15-yard penalty.
The rule allowing no player to use words or signals which obviously discon­ cert the opponents trying to put the ball in play takes the burden off the official in determining intent as he formerly did.
Placekicking may not be the favorite method of converting under the 1958 rules b ut teams may resort more orten to kicking field goals. State's Dick Raddatz, shown here with Howie Rice holding, has been successful on 26 of 36 PAT attempts in the last two years.

RALPH GI NN, head football coach His State grid teams have won the North Central Conference title six times in• his 11 years at the helm. They have won 64, lost 33 and tied six against all foes and are 45-13-6 in loop competi­ tion. Ralph's 1950 team gave State its first un­ defeated season since 1926. He earned a bache­ lor's degree at Tarkio College in 193 0 and a master's at Missouri in 1941. After ten years at Tarkio high, he became coach at his alma mater in 1940. During the war he was coach and directed the army physical education program at Wayne, Nebr., Teachers. In 1944 he became coach at Brookings high school and three years later· moved to State College.
ERVIN HUETHER, backfield coach Chief scout in addition to coaching the backs, Erv is beginning his ninth year at State and eighth at backfield coach. Also baseball coach at State, he coached at Bowdoin and Bates colleges in l'v.air:e and in the Navy. He received a bachelor's degree in 1943 from Yankton College and a master's from Minnesota in 1950.
STAN MARSHALL, line coach Beginning his second year on the State College staff, Stan is in- charge of linemen and defensive planning. His 1957 line paved the way to the conference title. Stan was on State grid teams from 1947 to 1949 and coached at Groton, Cen­ terville, Hot Springs and Jamestown College be­ fore returning to State. His Jamestown grid teams won 16, lost five and tied one in three years and his track teams won conference titles both years he was coach. Graduated with high honor in 1950, he earned a master's degree at Iowa in 1953.
WARREN WILLIAMSON,
freshman coach Guiding freshman gridders in their transition from prep to college ball is his forte. Warren is in his third year on the staff and also coaches wrestling. He earned a bachelor's degree in 1951 and a master's in 1954, both from State College. His scoring feats are still in the State College and conference record books and he still claims a share of the Jacks' total offense mark. He coached at Clear Lake and Winner.

All conference fullback Al Breske picks up ten yards against SOU as senior tackle Ben Gabriel leads sideline support.
Once again they're pointing at South Dakota State as the favorite in the North Central Conference rate but Coach Ralph Ginn has nearly as many worries as he did a year ago when the Jackrabbits were ap­ parently doomed to a low finish.
Forecasters look to the 21 lettermen re­ turning from the 1957 club which sur­ prised al l and captured the league title. Ginn admits that the Jacks wi l l have depth but is concerned that he may not have as good a first unit as last season.
Defense, which was the watchword with last year's champs, must be labled as questionable. Gone are four all-confer­ ence performers-Wayne Haensel , Ellis Jensen, Ron LaVallee and Len Spanjers. These players formed the core of the stout defense which made up for offensive deficiencies.
8
Lettermen wil l be available for most positions. Returning regulars could be at • seven spots. However, .quarterback and tackle will be manned by untried young- sters. At the all - important quarterback position in Ginn' s split-T offense, the top two performers of 1957 are missing. The tackle spots are problems in both depth and experience.
Another factor, difficult to measure but vital to champions.hip hopes, is team pride and spirit. Ginn hopes that his 1958 club wilf equal last year's team in reach­ ing the heights in this phase.
The Jackrabbits wil l be seeking their seventh league title since Ginn became State coach in 194 7 and their fifth in the past six years.

ALL-TIME RECORD 247 1 60 32 7381 5 1 03 W L T Pts. Opp.
A year ago State College football fans were having difficulty predicting which game the. Jackrabbits might have a chance to win. Even the most loyal supporters would have settled for a fifth place .finish in the North Central Conference race.
From these gloomy predictions the 1957 Jackrabbit gridders turned in a suc­ cessful season which saw them capture the conference title and come up with six vie-· tories against two losses and a tie against all foes.
State fans, momentarily forgetting their own early season doubts, had a field day laughing at the "experts" who fore­ cast a poor season for the Jacks.
Apparently overlooked by both the fans and experts was the intangible pride in accomplishment developed by the 1957 Jackrabbits. From a group of several tested veterans, some untried reserves and a large number of questionable sopho­ mores, Coach Ralph Ginn and his associ­ ates molded a championship team.
The Jacks developed a stingy defense and fought dogged! y for every yard. Their offense, although not brilliant, was
steady and took advantage of the breaks earned on defense.
New records put in the books were for five touchdown passes in one game, block­ ing of five punts during the season and 191 offensive plays during the year by quarterback Ron La Vallee.
Four seniors, five juniors and two soph­ omores were in the starting lineup. Co­ captains Wayne Haensel and Len Span­ jers were established players before the season started. Spanjers, called by Ginn "one of the finest guards in the history of South Dakota football," was named most valuable player in the conference.
Two other seniors developed into stars after three years of effort. Quarterback La Vallee and end Ellis Jensen earned all­ conference honors along with Spanjers at guard, Haensel at tackle and junior Al Breske at fullback.
Juniors on the starting eleven were Breske, tackle T uffy Blaze, center Carl Katzenberger, ·guard Merlin Newman and end Dick Raddatz. Newman, ham­ pered by injuries, was spelled by Dennis York and George Alfredson.
Sophomore halfbacks Jim Vacura and Howie Rice carried the burden there al­ though sophomores seldom are impressive in the North Central.
Through good condition from hard work, propr training habits, flu shots and daily vitamins, the Jacks avoided the sickness and injuries which plagued many other teams during the season.
