NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The
National Collegiate Athletic
Associations 17-man council
apparentlyc arried more weight
with the Rules Committee than
the football coaches in the COM
mittee's surprising decision to
outlaw the two-platoon system
in 1858.
The council adopted a resolu-
tion strongly urging" the Rules
Committee to do away with the
system. 1t was made at the con-
vention in Washington last week
and came as sort of an end-of-
the-trail move.
Presented Saturday, when most
of the 255 voting delegates al
ready had left for home, the
resolution was passed by a 1923
margin. The council is composed
of athletic directors and faculty
representatives, not coaches. and
while interested in winning
games, they also had to consider
other factors such as injuries.
Injuries a Factor. -
The coaches had voted in
favor of the two-platoon system
by a Al margin earlier last week,
and there seemed little doubt
that it would be retained. Many
of them probably were not even
aware of the councils resolution,
but it seems certain that if both
the coaches and the council had
voted for the two platoons the
Rules Committee would have
left the rule alone.
The committee undoubtedly
weighed and carefully studied
the Eastwood Committees re-
port on injuries and fatalities,
which had this to say3 "A tech
nique must be developed to keep
players warmed up between the
offensive and defensive substi-
tutions, which have been greatly
increased by the modern platoon
system. Contrary to what had
long been thought, inadequate
warm-up is a more important
cause of injuries than is fatigue"
Meanwhile. opinion remains
divided among groups of players
and coaches concerning the value
of the rule. Some of the big
school coaches were bitter at the
thought of the change. while
others said it would be a boon to
the game.
mongethe coaching reactions
was that from Frank Leahy of
Notre Dame, who said the new
rule might result in deteriora-

Victory Shorpens Eagles;
Wilson Edges Shepherd

American U. sharpened for its
home game with Loyola tomor-
row night by trimming Towson
Teachers. 77-41, in the windup
of a double header at the AU
gym last night. The opener
went to Wilson Teachers in a
thriller over Shepherd State,
1916.
The Eagles were slow getting
warmed up and had only an 81
lead in the first period. BY half =
time they worked up to 23-15,
then romped.
Bud DAILY was AUS high scorer
with Is points, almost all scored
during a short hot stretch in the
third period. In the whole first
half he got only one foul shot,
but in the third period hit seven
times in a row with ne-handed
shots.

football. He added, however,
that he believed that 'in fair

legiate football before offering
severe criticism.
More Could Participate.
with the two-platoon sys-
tem," he continued, more boys
could participate in a football
game for longer periods of time.
If actual participation in football
is helpful to a lad tand we must
assume that it is, otherwise there
is no justification for college
football, why not give as many
boys as possible an opportunity
to derive the benefits from actual
game participation?
From all available reports.
there have been FEWER serious
injuries under the free-substitu-
ton rule than before. Injuries
result more often when players
are fatigued."
Perhaps the most surprising
aspect of the entire picture was
that the smaller colleges were
split about $3.50 on the bene-
fits. or lack of them, on the out
lawing of the tWo-platoon sys-
tenn. 1t was thought that the
smaller schools were put at a
definite disadvantage by having
to compete with large squads of
top teams. But only half the
little fellows saw it that way

have appeared for a hearing at

tional Boxing Association to dis
cuss the return bout between

ager was "on the critical list"
He refused to disclose any other
information.
Meanwhile, the review board
went ahead with it's hearing. with
Bocchicchio represented by his
attorney. Angelo Malandra. The
lawyer said Bocchicchio wanted
to have the return bout staged
in June in Yankee Stadium if
the New York Athletic Commits
sion would approve it.
License Necessary.
Bocchicchio is not licensed in
New York. To have the lucrative
match here, the New York COM
mission would have to grant him
one.
Promoter Jim Norris of the
International Boxing Club asked
the board if it would waive the
six months defense rule so the
bout could be held in June. He
also favors holding the bout in
Chicago Stadium.
But Bob ChriStenberry. chair
man of the State Commission.
said the rule specifically calls
for title defenses within six
months. Marciano won the title
from Walcott in Philadelphia
September % and his six months
of grace will be up March %.
Other members of the board
are George Barton, president of
the NBA, and Abe Greene, the
NBA commissioner. Greene
couldn't attend because of illness
and John (Ox) da Grosa of the
Pennsylvania commission substi-
tuted for him.
Da Grosa said he favored a

Grimaldi Against Shue.
North Carolina has won nine
straight in the conference. in
cludng a 10-point decision over
Maryland at Chapel Hill early
this month. In their only nom
conference games. the Tar Heels
lost two out of three games in
the Dixie Classic. defeating
Princeton but losing to Holy
Cross and Penn.
Maryland will have to stop
Vince Grimaldi, who has aver
aged II points in Cardinals nine
conference games. The Tar
Heels. however, must stop Gene
Shue. the Terps' brilliant player
who in his last three outings
has scored 73 points. and for
the season has contributed 36
per cent of the Maryland scor-
ing.
In the Chapel Hill game Mary
land had it's coldest night of
the season, hitting for only five
field goals in SO shots in the first
half. Coach Bud Millikan be-
lieves Maryland can beat the
Tar Heels with an average per-
formance. Carolina is coached
for the first year by Frank Nc
Guire. who brought basketball
fame to ST. Johns of Brooklyn
for many years.
N. c. State Has 1872 Mark.
George Washington's oppon-
ent. N. C.. State. already has
played II games, winning Is,
and has an 81 conference rec
ord against 81 for the Colonials.
The Wolfpack was upset by
Wake Forest on the latter's
court and lost to st. Johns in
New York.
Although the Colonials blew a
14-point lead in losing to the
Wolfpack at Uline's in December,
George Washington likes it's
chances on States home floor
because it is a much better team
now. Walt Devlin has given the
Colonials a 1928 punch. taking
some of the pressure from the
Holup brothers, Joe and John.
Coach Everett Case of N. c.
State says George Washington
is the best rebound team in the
conference and in addition has
capable substitutes. He knows
they are a better team than in
December, but also thinks the
Woifpacks has improved consid-
erably.
For several years American
University and Loyola have been
splitting their home-and- home
series. Last year AU won in
Baltimore and lost at home.
American U. has John Selby
and Bud Daily as top scoring
threats but the other starters,
Bob Jones, Carl Hevener and
Marty Sigholtz all are capable
of leading the scoring parade.
In a preliminary game at
Maryland, the Terp Frosh meet
Fort Myer. The AU-Loyola clash
will be preceded by a high school
