 ROUNDUP
EY HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, Oct College football probably is having its big gest season on record, but there still are some coaches who aren't satisfied with the game that brings in all the dough-.
 The other day Marquette's Frank Murray suggested requirement of six defensive players on the line to match the seven-man line re- quired for the offense. To this Cclumbia's $ Lou Little replies that there's no sense in demanding that a team whose personnel is more suited to the five or seven-man de- iensive line should use a six. The whole thing was thrashed out in a coaches rules committee meet ing some years ago, he adds.
 Another suggestion comes from w. A. Alexander, Georgia Techs venerable athletic director. He fi- gures the whole rule book should he rewritten to straighten out all the amendments and exceptions and also figures the free subStitu- tion rule will be altered because some coaches seem to be trying to mastermind the game out of exist ence"
