NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Seton

Walter Dukes, 6-foot-l1 CEN

ulate box-office receipts. will not

out the two-platoon system.
Commissioner Bert Bell indi-
Gated today.
Bell, who advocates a cut in
the player limit from 33 to 80
men for each club, told The Star
by telephone he doubted that
the matter woulc come up at
next weeks league meeting in
Philadelphia. To make such a
change. it would be necessary to
propose it in writing 20 days be-
fore the meeting and then get
it approved by a four-f1fths vote
of club owners, he pointed out.
If brought up without prior
notice. a unanimous vote would
be necessary for passage, and
that would be next to impossible
in this matter.
II think college people know
what's best for their game and
act accordingly" Bell said in
commenting on the colleges sur
prise move. Personally, I like
to see ballplayers go both ways.
and we have lot of pretty good
players who can, but the Ma
tional Football League has no
idea Of throwing out the platoon
system"
Coach Cites Hardships.
Both Coach Curly Lambeau
and General Manager Dick Nc
Cam of the Redskins expressed
similar sentiments.
1T would work too much Of
a hardship on players like Eddie
LeBaron and Bones Taylor"
Lambeau said. referring to the
teams quarterback and pass

LeBaron is pretty small to be
used on defense. and Taylor, an
outstanding pass catcher. is a
notably weak blocker and hardly
would be able to handle a de-
fensive role without relief.
you've got to keep fresh men
in the game to give the fans
top-notch football" Curly added.
And you couldn't do that with
out the free substitution rule"
Perhaps most vitality affected
by such a change in the rules
would be Paul Brown, Cleveland
coach, who calls each play for

New Index Issued
For Measuring Steel
Production in Nation
BY The Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-The
American Iron q Steel Institute
came out today with a new index
for measuring the Nations steel
production.
The institute said the new in
dex gave a fairer comparison Of
present and past production than
the percentage operating rate
which had been widely regarded
as the industry's major yard
stick until now. M
The new index is based on the
average annual ingot production
during the three years 1947
through 1949. inclusive - the
same base period that's being
used for several revised Govern
ment indices of business. A
The l947-49 output. which
averaged 83,837.572 net tons, has
base rating of 100. Index fig
ures for later periods are given
as a percentage of the 1947-49
index. Thus, the index for the
week ended last December 20
was 1882. or 1882 per cent Of
the 1947-49 average. and the
index for March. when 1853 pro-
duction hit its peak. was 1923.
The institute said the old op-
Grating rate did not give as &C
curate a comparison of past and
present output because it was
expressed in terms of the indus
try's productive capacity. and
this capacity has grown by leaps
and bounds in recent years.
AS much steel can be made at
89la per cent of capacity today
as at 100 per cent of capacity in
1851, it was noted.
