football in 1969 will have the
“wild card” player to follow the
famous “lonesome end” of 1958.
The “wild card” player will be
a substitute who can re-enter a
fame as many times as his coach
chooses, provided he goes in when
.the game clock is stopped.
The player could be a key
quarterback, a kicking specialist
or perhaps a guard carrying in-
structiOns from the sidelines.
As a result of rules, changes,
games should be more wide open,
higher scoring and crowd-pleas-
