NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-William
A. Alexander, the grand old man
Of Southern football, says the
two-platoon system is on the way
out because the public doesn't
like it.
The athletic director of Georgia
Tech helped write the rules that
make the system possible.
Il can't blame a coach for
using two platoons under the
present rules" Alexander told
the Touchdown Club of New
York last night. II think the
committee made a mistake"
"The committee had one
thought in mind" he declared.
THAT was the substitution of one
player after each play without
penalty. If a coach had II good
men on the field, but needed a
kicker or a line hacker or a place
kicker, he could send him in.
THE thing has gotten out of
hand. In one game this fall there
were 294 substitutions. The pub
lie can't tell, the radio can't tell
and the press can't tell who's in
the game. There's bound to be a
change"
Just what the change may be,
Alexander didn't hazard a guess.
You can't tell what the COM
mittee will do" he said. Ger
tainly they'll do something"
The Rules Committee meets in
