Grid Rules Makers
| Hit UnetIlicaI Tactics,
Keep Single Platoon
BY the Asseeia,sd Press

SARASOTA. Fla, Jan. IA
College football must keep its
one-platon system and must get
rid of such practices as the faxed
injury and the sucker shift.
This verdict was handed down
yesterday by the Football Rules
Committee Of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association.
The committee turned down
all efforts to liberalize the limited
substitution rule, which went
into effect last season and proved
immensely popular with football
fans.
The most surprising develop
ment Of the meeting was the
strong condemnation of such
"non-ethical" practices as injury
taking to stop the clock and false
starts intended to pull the op-
position offside.
The committee unanimously
approved a resolution declaring
that injury taking is dishonest,
unSportSmanlike and contrary to
the rules"
Irish Incidents Cited.
+ A Notre Dame player was ac-
cused of feigning injury in the
Iowa game last season to stop
the clock and gain time for a
touchdown in the closing Sec
onds of the first half. The score,
and another one just as the
game ended. enabled the Irish to
escape with q 14-14 tie.
During the 1852 season, Notre
Dame figured prominently in
several sucker shift incidents.
Last season. there were reports
Of such incidents in the South
eastern and Missouri Valley Con-
ferences. -
The Rules Committee said
that. for the present. it would
rely on the integrity of the
coaches and players rather than
on further legislation" to wipe
out these unethical procedures.
II this doesn't succeed, Com
mittee Chairman Fritz Crisler of
Michigan said the rule book will
be rewritten to make sure such
practices are stopped.
Committee Secretary E. E.
Wieman of the University of
Denver said minor revisions may
be made in the substitution rule
in the future, but "two-platoon
football is dead as a duck"
Coaches Bid Fails.
The coaches made a vain bid
for relaxation of the rule to al
low a player to re-enter the
game once each period.
Crisler said the committee
didn't regard this proposal with
disfavor. but that there was a
general feeling the rule ought
to be left alone at least another
year until the coaches and
players get caught up"
A subcommittee of rule makers
was appointed to join the
coaches in a further study of
the substitution rule during the
1854 season and report back
next year.
Then penalty for sideline in
terference was increased by the
committee. This problem gained
attention New Years Day when
Tommy Lewis. Alabama fullback,
rushed of the bench to tackle q
Rice runner who appeared to be
on his way to a touchdown in
the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas.
The committee retained the
present rule that a touchdown
should be awarded in such cases.
and 1t added a provision that the
offending player shall be dis
qualified from further play in
the game.
