DURHAM, Sept. g. R-The
1947 All-American football player

football coach at Duke, said today.
The old master who coached two
Alabama and two Duke football
teams to Rose Bowl Invitations
said the new substitution rules
would place a premium on "spe-
cialty' football players. He is
district representative of the Foot
ball Rules Committee of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton.
The lenient substitution rules
will produce players with a special
ty," he predicted. There will be
boys playing who can do only one
thing real well. We'll have boys
going in to pass or to kick. There
will be others to hit the line, OF
do some broken-field running.
The rules also work for the de-
tense. Those boys who can only
do a creditable job on defense Will
be given a chance to play. How
ever, I'm afraid that it will elm.
mate some of the premium O.
sturdiness, and in this Alec Coach
William A. Alexander Of Georgia
Tech) agrees with me. I talked
with him recently in Atlanta about
the rule.
Personally, I have always adj
mired the all-round sound football
player who could do all things
well. I believe the rules may not
produce the same type of AL
Americans as (Charlie) Trippi OF
Georgia or (Ace) Parker of Duke.
Those men could do all things
well-they were fine on offense
and defense.
But there is another side to
tn rules Wade continued. I'm
allowing the specially players to
get in games, there will be more
boys participating, and. of course
that is fine.
However, I don't think there
will be as many boys trying to
learn to block and tackle and to
learn some of the more arduous
tasks essential to good football
Wade, beginning his 25tn season
in coaching, observed that the
substitution rule was brought in
by a large majority" of coaches
last winter at a meeting of the
football rules committee of the

citation. Alexander is a member
at-large of the committee.

F ans Expect Cards To Open Drive
Dodgers Leading By Six
And Half Games In
National Loop

NEW YORK, Sept. 2. U.D -
The magic numbers for the pen
nant bids of the New York Yam
KEGS and the Brooklyn Dodgers
stood at Is and 10, respectively,
today.
In other words, the Yankees,
with a 10 and a half game lead,
can win the American League flag
through any combination Of 16 New
York victories and Boston Red
Sox defeats.
The Dodgers, leading by six
and a half games, need enough
victories and st. Louis Cardinal
defeats to add up to Is before
they are in"
Even the die-hards have con-
ceded the Yankees victory, but the
Dodgers are a different matter.
There still is a pretty general feel
ing that the Cardinals, with a long
home stand ahead of them, are
going to catch on fire and stage
one of their usual September
drives, ard the fans remember,
too, that the Brooks in three of the
last four years have lost the pen
nant because they faded in Septem-
Der.
The Cardinals. however, really
bouo thni. yyOrE cIt n11+ fNr fhnnO
this time if they are going to
make it two National league pen
nants in a row. The Dodgers have
lost five less games than the Cardl-
nails and that six and a half game
Brooklyn lead may prove more
than the inconsistent Redbirds
can overcome.
While the Cards are playing at
home, however, the Dodgers will
be on the road, and winning pen
nants on the road is something
that Brooklyn hosn't been able to
do.
But this is a different year and
while manager Burt Shotton isn't
talking about World Series, he
gave one the feeling that he isn't
too worried. The figures are on his
side.
If the Dodgers win IL of their
remaining % games-18 of which
are away from home-the Cards
would have to take IS of their
remaining Is games - II of which
are at home-to win out.
It's pretty big order but those
in baseball who know the Cardi-
nails best aren't selling them short,
even though time appears to be
running out on them.
