hands and put the controls up to
regional bodies.
The convention voted. 1888, for
limited television a year ago and
backed the 1852 game-a-week plan
by 1858 in a mail referendum.
Most colleges are in favor of
ditching TV altogether. The NCAA
TV Committee, headed by Athletic
Director Robert Hall of Yale Uni
versity, considers some form of
TV necessary.
The group, which has been por-
ing over surveys for the last two
days, is to submit its report to-
morrow for convention action Sat-
urday.
The contents of the report and
the recommendations have been a
guarded secret. They are expected
to show that gate receipts gener-
ally were hit by the restricted
plan and that any .loosening would
create even greater problems.
The television question overshad-
ows all the others in the 47th> an
nual convention, attended by some
l 400 representatives of 400 insti-
buttons.
However, these other important
developments took place in the
preliminary sessions yesterday:
1. The Football Coaches Rules
Committee recommended tighten
ing the rule governing false starts
to discourage the sucker shift, !"
employed especially by Notre
Dame.
2. Baseball coaches proposed a

WASHINGTON R-Notre Dame

MedicO Warns
On Platoon
System Danger

WASHINGTON R--Although 1852
was footballs second.best year in
regards to safety, DIR. Floyd r.
Eastwood of Los Angeles State Col
lege Tues. warned the nations foot
ball coaches that the platoon sys-
tenn may bring an increase in the
fatality rate unless they devise
some means of keeping the players
warmed up between mass substi-
tutions.
This warning was contained in
Eastwood's annual report to the
convention of the American Foot
ball Coaches Association. He is
chairman Of the Associations COM
mittee on injuries and fatalities,
which has compiled and studied
records of football deaths for Il
years.
The accumulated evidence since
1885 reveals that injuries and ia
talities occur more frequently soon
after an individual enters a game
or starts a practice period, East.
wood pointed out. And with the
growth of the platoon system there
are more occasions when a player
is likely to be sent into a game
without an adequate warmup.
Eastwood's survey showed six
deaths due directly to football and
four indirect fatalities, just half
the 1851 total. This was the best
record since 1915, when six direct
and three indirect fatalities were
reported, and. except for that year,
the best since the committee has
kept records.
Five direct and two indirect fa-
talities we're charged to high school
football: one Of each to sandlot
football and one indirect death TO
college football.
The college player was Demetre
5. Homer, Yale freshman who died
of cerebral hemorrhage and a sus-
pected ruptured intercranial aneu-
rysm the day after he had taken
part IN a few plays of a freshman
game.
In spite Of the good record for
1852, Eastwood warned coaches.

exercise special care next year,

and Joe Ryan of the Miami Beach
Flamingo baseball club of the
Florida International Baseball loop
who are contemplating making Key

Of course, there are several OBJ

the chief being the status of the

baseball star of the Florida East

Whether or not we will have
baseball in Key West this season

Methuselah

Methuselah ate what he found on
his plate,
And never, as people do now,
Did he note the amount of the calory
count;
He ate it because it was chow.
He wasn't disturbed as at dinner he
sat,
Devouring roast or a pie,
To think it was lacking in granular
fat
Or couple of vitamins shy.
He cheerfully chewed each species
of food,
Unmindful of troubles or fears
Lest his health might be hurt
By some fancy dessert;
And he lived over nine hundred
years.

Wednesday the U. S. Department

Announcing the project, Chan

study is designed primarily to
learn more about the health status
Of Alaska's native population and
to develop both immediate and
long-range plans for improved
health services for both the native
and non-native population.
The project will be under the
direction of DR.. Thomas Parran,
dean Of the Pitt Graduate School
of Public Health. 1t will be con-
Quoted under a $4,000 grant from
the Department Of Interior. Also
sponsoring the study are the gov
ernor of Alaska and the several
federal departments concerned
with health problems there.
The project will consist princip-
ally of two surveys, one to be car
ried out this summer and a second
during the summer of 1854. The
Pitt team will leave for Alaska
early in July to begin the first
preliminary survey and prepare
for further, long-range studies, in
which additional experts will be
engaged to deal with special prob

Gamblers Dislike JoiIs

One reason why Montgomery County has
not been popular with gambling syndicateS Is
to be found in a news item in yesterdays Star.
It told of the refusal of Judge Stedman Prescott
in Circuit Court to grant plea of leniency for
a woman who has served five months of
six-month sentence for professional gambling.
'I want to say to you," said Judge Prescott, "and
to any one thinking of starting gambling in
Montgomery County that he is almost sure to
get prison sentence"
In another column of yesterdays Star was
a story which may throw light on why so many
gambling racketeers seem to have a kindlier
feeling toward Prince Georges and Calvert
Counties. This news item reported the Sus-
pension of jail sentences imposed by judges in
both counties on Charles E. Nelson, his wife and
several associates, who had pleaded guilty to
organized gambling on big scale. These notori-
Gus numbers operators were freed on payment of
fines ranging from 81 900 to 1000 each. The
fines must have seemed like small potatoes to a
big operator like Nelson. Evidence at a District

in the particularly as planning brain

viewed as a good measure of his outstanding
talents and his qualifications to succeed General
Clark as chief of the U. N Command and our

Barring unforeseen developments, General
Hull when he assumes his new responsibilities,
will not have to deal with hot Korean war
as did Generals Clark, Ridgway and Macarthur.
But his task still will be very heavy one, and
he will have to reckon with the ver-present
danger of Communist treachery and the posi-

good that the President has chosen a man of
his stature for the job. He is a commander
