 The New York game required 23 more minutes than its prede- cessor of l94O.
 Opponents of the alteration has, ten to assert that Walter R. Okeson and his rules committee can expect repetittons of these slow affairs in every college duel.
 The picture isn't quite that bad, Free substitution has its vir- tues as well as its faults. There will be some delay, of course, but eol- lege football will not be slowed down as much as some suspect 1t may be. TEAM HAS 25 SECONDS TO PUT THE BALL IN PLAY
 As Chief Rulemaker Walter Oke- son stresses, college officials will fol- low the true interpretation of the rule, which Is this:
 As quickly as the official gets the ball after 8 play is completed, he touches 1t down. From that time the the ball Is in play. A longer delay on offensive team has 25 seconds to put the. part of either side will result In Q five-yard penalty.

 Cosl;ey also wired Pennsylvania Boxing Commissioner Leo Raines asking his full cooperation" inas- much as Wright Is scheduled to fight next Thursday night at Wilkes-Barre.
 Coskey asked for the suspension after he said he received a tele- gram from Walker in which the manager said he would come to Hartford to discuss the Ivy fight after he talked the situation over with the New York commissioner Monday.
 No Show Up
 Coskey had asked Walker to be here today, with the expectation some arrangement might be made to postpone the Tuesday fight un- til later date, inasmuch as Walk CT had protested against Wrights defense of the title he won only three weeks ago from Joey Archi- bald. Walker suggested e post ponement of six months.
 The NBA does not recognize Wright as champion, but rather Richard LemoS of California. An objective of the Wright-Ivy fight was to have the winner meet Lemos and whittle the field down to single title-holder.

NEW WILEY GRID MACHINE OILED
 FOR GILBERT 60
Wildcats Open Season at Stadium Saturday;
 Crosby at AnsOnia

Line trouble is about all that Coach James Wiltshire Lee expects will prevent his new and nifty edi- ton of 194l Wilby football Wildcats which will be unloosed upon pre- pared Gilbert High group from WinSted Saturday afternoon at the Municipal Stadium. The game, set for 2:30 D. m. Is Wilby's first real test, but the school team coach has seen few things in drills of the past two weeks that leads him to believe that his charges may give @ reasonably good account of them selves, particularly the backfield of Captain Eddie Salvatore, Pete Yar- nell, the softball slinger, Billy Over ton and Fitzgerald which, however, needs the protection of Q line that Is heavily dotted with green but spir- ited talent which gives promise Of developing fast. Gilbert has shaded Litchfield Junior Republic 8 to 6 and won from its Alumni.
 Wallace and Pimentelli, will prob ably start ct the Wilby Hanks; Calo and Giampetruzzi at tackles; Sizer and Daigle at guard and Bill Thomas, center with Sherman and Garrity in reserve. Officials for the game include: Dr. M. A. O'Hara, re- fierce: Chick Kelly umpire and Henry Darlington, linesman.
 Tech At Manchester
 Leavenworth, weli-drilled by Coaches Bill Tracy and "Jarp" O'Neil goes to Manchester today for It's second game of the season, which favors the Manchester team to win on its own field, though there has been sharp improvement in the Tech grid work durmg the past week, which, if put into practice against Manchester may bring about a ma jor upset.
 Trouble For Crosby
 Crosby, of It's scoreless tie against Norwalk figures to give Ansonia High plenty of opposition tomorrow in the Copper City, though Ansonia never has weak team and Is rated 8 to s to win It's home game against a team that showed sterling line play but fumbled too much against Norwalk, and with the experience of that game should be much i'm. proved against the admittedly strong Ansonia team.

Hartford, Conn. Sept. 26-(UP>-- Athletic Commissioner Frank Cos- key today asked National Boxing Association President Abe Green to suspend Featherweight Cham pion Chalky Wright in 45 states because Wrights manager. Eddie Walker, refused to go through with B l5-round title bout with Bobby (Poison) Ivy here Tuesday.
 Walkers refusal, wrote Coskey was a fragrant disregard for the rules of fair play and Haunting pf e commissioners authority"

EAGLES TO GET' EARLY SEASON TEST AT TULANE
Green Wave Slight Choice; L.S.U. Rated ll.5 Over
 Holy Cross Tomorrow

Boston, Sept. 26- (UP) = New England football fans will have Q sparse gridiron diet tomorrow be- cause two of this sections major elevens will play in the deep south against Southeastern conference teams, and Harvard and Yale Still are in the practice stage.
 Boston college, gunning for its third straight Bowl hid, tnvades New Orleans, La. for e crack at Tulane, and Holy Cross moved into Baton Rouge, La. for Q tilt with Louisiana State.
 Dartmouth and Brown, the oth- CT topnotchers from this area, open their campaigns against smaller colleges. The Big Green opposes Norwich, and Brown faces Wes- leyan.
 Harvard starts its seventh sea- son under Coach Dick Harlow against Pennsylvania next week when Coach Spike Nelson will make his Yale debut against Virginia.
 Major interest, of course, centerS in the Boston college-Tulane bat tie with the Southerners ruling slight favorites to avenge last sea- sons loss which wrecked their ea- tire campaign. But Boston college, with a 78-0 win over St. Anselm's under its belt, should hang up It's 18th stragiht triumph in two sea- sons.
 Nearly As Good
 Despite the losl of five men who gained All-America rating, B. c. has more weight and nearly as good material as 6 year ago and may have a more versatile attack under Coach Denny Myers, suc- cessor to Frank Leahy. Hanback Frank Maznicki and Fullback Mike Holoyak may not start due to minor injuries but will get into action early in the fray.
 If they fail to start, Boston col. lege's backfield will be composed of Quarterback Mickey Connolly, Halfbacks Ted Williams and Ed Dolrerty and Tullback Adolph Kis- sell who scored twice against Tu- lane last year. Both B. Q. and tae Greenies will have forward walls averaging more than 2l0 pounds, but the Eagles superior passing at- tack likely will decide the issue.
 Strange Odds
 Loyal southerners have installed L. S. U. an 1l-5 favorite over Holy Gross. There Is no basis for these lop-sided odds on the showing of the Crusaders in practice. Holy Cross had a poor season due to in- juries last year, but in the pro. cess 1t developed Q flock Of exper- fenced players who may restore tiie college to its former place of prom thence in the east.
 Holy Cross, defeated two years in d row by L. s. D., will be at top strength with the exception oS cen" ter Dick Hamilton, sidelined by Q cacroiliac, and Sub End Fritz Bar. zilaukas.
 Dartmouth, playing It's first game for Coach De Ormond cTuss) MIG" Laughry, may have tough strug" Rlc with balanced but reserve. shy Norwich which has in Walt Domina one of the finest backs in the east.
 Brown also starts with q new coach, Skip Stanley, former Har- ward assistant to Dick Harlow. The Bears should have little difficulty with Wesleyan, coached by yves Fuller, who also served under Har- low last season.

fortable in calling for pass on the final down, knowing the opposition will only get possession there, and not on the 20-yard line, as in the past.
 The defense will be loosened up considerably. They will no longer be almost certain the opposition will buck for the final yard or so.
 The new rule permitting the ball to be handed in a forward direction provided 1t Is not given to a player on the line of scrimmage simply clarifies something that backs have. been getting away with for years.
 Usually the infractions were so hard to discern that officials hesi- tated to call them.

GAME WAS IN HANDS OF COACHES, ANYWAY

Fans should see better football in the late stages of games, as the players will not be so weary. Coaches will give stars more rest since they can return if things get tough.
 Generally, the lads will be fresher at the finish.
 With substitutes no longer having to wait one play before communicate ing instructions, the game Is in the hands of the coaches more than ever before. But hasn't 1t been pretty much in their hands all the while ? There is no use saying coaches will not chase substitutes ir with t- structions for signal-callers at crt- tical moments, especialiy ln s.s- ..As territory, but this has been done be- fore, too.
 Coaches might just as well call 'em, as Q matter of fact. The aver age fan will be sure the coach has called play every time he sees substitute racing on the field down near the goal line. m
 If the team scores, the coach will get credit for calling 1t right. If the team fails, the coach will be bum, and not the Brooklyn variety.
 PASSING ENCOURAGED
 INSIDE 2O-YARD LINE
 Offense should have its greatest year. An aid to the attack is the rule alteration no longer considering an incomplete forward pass behind the opponents goal line on fourth down a touchback.
 This encourages passing inside the 20-yard line.
 If his team is on the eight-yard line. the quarterback will feel com
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-26

Star games waited until suhsti- tutes had reported before telling the teams they had 25 seconds to put the ball in play.
 The average college coach does not have sufficient Grade A ma terial for mass substitutions, any, way. Tn many cases, he cannot re- move a first-string player without weakening his unit,
 College teams are not stocked with crackerjack players like the professional and All-Star squads, where because one fellow Is great on otfense and another on de- fense, coaches rush men in end out ct each position.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-26
SUBSTITUTES WILL STEP LIVELY UNDER NEW RULE

On occasions other than the three time outs allowed each team in Q | half, here's an example of how Sub- stuting will have to be done in col- lege football.
 A forward pass falls incomplete. As soon as the ball is dead, the substitute rusheS in and reports to the referee. If he moves fast enough he will have been &C., cepted by the time the ball is put down for the ensuing play. Time will not be called out for him.
 If his reporting requires five seconds after the ball is put down, the players will have to come out of the huddle in 20 seconds, or suffer a penalty.
 Thus, reserves will be dispatched hurriedly into the game after any form of a score, before kickoffs, on incomplete forwards, after the ball goes out of bounds, after Q fair catch, safety, touchback, etc.
