CINCINNATI--College football coaches went on record Tuesday as favoring a rule which would permit one player--usually the quarterback--to confer with his coach during times out. They also favored several changes which would open up the college game a bit.

The recommendations came from the Advisory Rules Committee of the American College Football Coaches Assn. at week-long college sports meetings.

Other suggested changes--which may or may not be adopted by the National Rules Committee when it meets in Los Angeles next week--include returning the goal posts to the goal line to promote field goal kicking, more liberal substitution, and a rewriting of the present one-arm blocking rule.

Among the reports bouncing around hotel lobbies was that leaders in the movement to form a nation-wide league of major independent football colleges would meet here this week. It is a plan that has been discussed for several years but the colleges usually mentioned--such as Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Army, Navy and some California universities--have been very close-mouthed about the subject.
