<<1974
Sweeping rules changes were adopted to add action and tempo to games: ....the penalties for offensive holding, illegal use of the hands, and tripping were reduced from 15 to 10 yards; wide receivers blocking back toward the ball within three yards of the line of scrimmage were prevented from blocking below the waist.>>

Holding penalties used to be 15 yards, believe it or not. Some of the "Old-Timers" help me out. When did they change it to 10 yards? I think it was around 1973 or so...
