The two LSU stars "signed
immediately upon the compile

valid" Foss said.

spread line becoming popular
throughout the country. 1t will
be a fairly tight balanced line,
with a one-yard gap between
guard and tackle and another
gap between tackle and end.
Behind three of these gaps,
or "slots" as they are known
in football jargon, will be
placed the backs, with the
quarterback at different times
under the center or three or
five yards behind the center.
One back always will be in mo-
ton toward the quarterback. to
take or fake a handoff or a
short forward pass. Or, the
quarterback will toss a short
forward pass to either of the
other backs.
1t is this frequent forward
passing, even for only a yard
or two, which could make the
CIV quarterback the eading
passer in the country again,
If things work on the football
field as they do on paper.
Elias and Bob Falis, the CIV
athletic director, left today for
New York, where the meeting
OF the Football Coaches Asso-

him sound like a brash brag-

in believing he can lead CIV
out of the football wilderness
and make it a contender for
the Southern Conference title.
The new formation he wants
to install was worked out in
conferences with Clark Shaugh-
messy, the man who popular
lied modern T-formation foot
ball with the Chicago Bears and
Stanford. Elias said he and
Shaughnessy had been working
up the system for four years,
and it well may be that the
desire to get it of paper and

motive behind Elias taking the

Surprising Co|oniaIs Choice
Over Georgetown 7oniqht
CIV Five Seeks
Sixth Triumph
In Last 7 Games

A George Washington bas-
ketball team that has jelled
into a winning combination
earlier than expected is favored
over Georgetown tonight when
the Washington rivals tangle at
Uline Arena.
They meet at $3.50 o'clock in
the big game of the week here,
following a $50 preliminary
between their freshmen flves.
The Colonials, mostly a new
outfit this season, are winging
along with five victories in their
last six games, including sur
prise 101-65 lacing handed
Temple at Uline last Saturday
night. They are Us for the
season.
Feldman Boosts CIV
Georgetown has a As record,
but it. too. has been playing
respectable basketball in re-
cent games. The Hoyas have
won two of their last three, and
just before that they lost to
Niagara in overtime in what
possibly was their best per-
formance of the season.
1t may seem a strange am
bition for a coach to hope his
team plays as well as it did
in a losing game, but Coach
Tommy Nolan is asking no
more of his Hoyas than that
they show the same talent
against the Colonials tonight
that they did three weeks ago
in the Niagara game.
Popping up CIV in recent
games has been the play of
5-foot-9 Jon Feldman, a set
shot artist and general buzz
saw who scored 81 points
against Temple. His recent ad-
dition to Coach Bill Rein
hart'S list of regulars adds a
lot of punch to the lineup.
Sheehan Leads HOyas
Before Feldman was ready,
most of the load had been
carried by another new man,
Dick Markowitz, a 6-foot-5
star who has averaged slightly
over II points a game as GW's
leading scorer. Also playing
steadily for the Colonials has
been Howie Bash, the only
holdover of any consequence.
Georgetown tonight will be
playing its first game since
taking runnerup honors to
Providence in the Providence
Tournament a week ago. The

Likely 10 Take
Action Today

NEW YORK, Jan. 6 (AP)-
The Nations college football
coaches. who again have gone
on record as favoring a return
to unlimited substitution, now
must await the meeting of the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association football rules COM
mittee in Miami Beach next
week for a decision.
Meanwhile, the prime item
of interest was the anticipated
report later today of the pow
erful policy making NCAA
council. which was expected to
discipline one or more schools
which have broken the rules
Of the NCAA code.
There we're 13 member schools
under investigation by the
committee on infractions as the
54th annual NCAA convention
opened with roundtable dis
cusSionS.
How many of the investiga-
tions will result in action by
the council was, as usual, top
secret. The NCAA never dis
closes identity of the schools,
unless they are found guilty.
Memphis State Okay
The number currently on
probation was reduced to nine
yesterday when Memphis State
completed a two-year proba-
tionary period. and the NCAA
Council, satisfied that the in
stitution is living up to the
athletic code, restored it to full
eligibility. That means Memphis
State, with a I'll record, will
be eligible for an at-large berth
in the annual poSt-season
NCAA University Division
basketball tournament.
Montana State College ap-
pealed for a revision Of a two
year probationary term in
CURED october 81, 1859, but
the NCAA Council turned down
the appeal. 1t was based on
new evidence and q claim of
procedural error in the case.
Other schools currently on
probation are Mississippi, Gus
tavus Adolphus, Wyoming,
Seattle, North Carolina State,
Auburn, Southern California
and Arizona State University.
The football coaches, con-
Quoting their 37th annual
will hear a report to-
day from Lou Little, ex-Colum-
oia coach and chairman of the
American Football Coaches As
sociation Rules Committee, in
which it is recommended to the
NCAA Rules Committee that
free and unlimited substitution
be permitted for the first time
since 1852, the last two-platoon
season.
Chances Appear Slim
The college coaches also
backed the present point-after-
touchdown option and the wider
distance between goal posts.
Both resulted from contro-
versial rule changes in recent
years.
The chances Of the NCAA
committee adopting the free
substitution rule do not appear
to be good. OF the eight coaches
or former coaches on the COM
mittee, four are known to be
of free substitution.
They are Dave Nelson of Della
ware, Bud Wilkinson of Okla
homa, Jess Nicely of Rice and
John Roning of Denver.
Other voting members are
Norm Daniels of Wesleyan.
