Eastern Conference Goes All-Out
To Save Two-Platoon Grid System
,t (Re«f- L' S. Put. Off.)
- .United f'reiin Sports Writer
- NKW YORK, Dec. 1 <U.Ri
Football's two-platoon .substitution
■yatcm appeared safe today de-
spite a group «f gridiron grandpas
with admiration for the flying
wedge, iron man performances and
money.
The play - fewer - buys-and-save
money brigade went all out at th<
final session of the Eastern Col-
I'ege Athletic Conference in an at-
tempt to put the slug on free sub-
stitution. They sounded suspicious-
ly like fight managers and it is
heartening to report they were
beaten.
For these gents, whether you
like free substitution or not .over-
looked the three most important
phases of the two platoon system.
These are: I. Fewer injuries; 2.
the players like it, and 3, mon
boys get to play.
To here the detractors tell it.
football now has becomi a game
for anemic horticultural Harrys, j
The theory of these gay ' grous- j
ert is that the lads today couldn't i
carry the personal unmentionables
of the old-time athletes—and. be-
sides, the two-platoon system i? (
darned expensive.
Fortuantely, before the ecac was ,
conned into complaining to tin-
NCAA rules committee, the vocal
defense team was run in composed
of-Army's Red Blaik, Springfield's
John Bunn, Cornell's Bob Kane,!
Princeton's Keri Fairman and i
Bucknell's A1 Humphreys.
Rlaik tr>ok a roundhouse swing |
at the "dollars and cents" critics I
and praised the two-platoon as j
"the best thing to happen in my i
long connection with the game. He I
pointed out, too, that learning one
football phase saved academic time. |
Bunn asserted thaf the players
bjr vote preferred the free substi-
tution and Kane disclosed that Cor-
nell had 35 per cent fewer major
injuries since the system was in-
stalled. Fa irman revealed that
Princeton Coach Charlie Caldwell
Wis against the rule but was him-
self overruled by the Princeton
Athletic Council and medical de-
partment.
Humphreys asked an embarrass-
ing question which was ignored
when he asked why, if colleges
want to condition more young men.
the number permitted to play
should be reduced.
Heading the flying wedge and
fatter wallet contingent, Harvey
Harm an of Rutgers admitted may-
be it was "easier and more enjoy-
able for tjie boys" but shouldn't be
if they couldn't play both offense
and defense. Ain't the kinds sup-
posed to have fun. Harvey?
And Vale's Bob Hall, a little guy
who talks like a N'agurski, came
right out and said h-- didn't believe
the wishes of the boys should be
Considered. "Il is questionable if
the teams of the ISfcJO's would have
voted for the two-platoon system,"
he scorned. It is doubtful, too,
whether the fellows of the "Jit's
woiid have voted for parachute
jumping but we've got a lot of
kids doing it today.
Gavilan In Line
For Title Fight
NEW YORK, Dec. 15. 'UP—
Welterweight champion Kid ( a\i-
lan of Cuba was in line today for a
middleweight challengers' battle
with Randy Turpin of England in
March because of his Caribbean-
hurricane finish last night as he
stopped Walter Caitier in the loth
round at Madison Square Garden.
His terrific finish in the last
scheduled round against the heav-
ier New Yorker apparently saved
Dusky Gavilan from defeat; for
he was behind in the official scor-
ing before he achieved his technical
knockout at 1:31 of the tenth ses-
sion.
Referee Ruby Goldstein stopped
the bout as brown-haired Cartier
tried to rise from the canvas,
where a right to the chin had
sprawled him sideways. Cartier—
with blood seeplig from his nose,
mouth and left brow—had taken
such a battering that he was be-
fuddled and helpless before he
went down for the lone knockdown
of the bout.

of Creation to Japanese and Ko-
rean Christians.

Blacklists Two
Of Its Renters
By TIM MORI ARTY
United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK. Dec. 15 U Pi-
Maryland and Clemson were on the
Southern Conference's "black list"
today as college groups through-
out the Atlantic Seaboard joined
hands m banning posrt-season f. .t-
ball games.
r-In a heated session last night
at Richmond, Va.. the Southern
Conference voted to sever football
dilations with Maryland and
un for a period of one year as a
penalty for accepting bowl invita-
tions without conference permis-
sion.
Maryland already has agreed to
meet Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl
and Clemson accepted an invitation
(p play Miami in the '(iator Bowl
ttacw Year's Dav. Officials of
both teams indicated they will ful-
frtl their engagements regardless
of the Southern Conference's ac-
tion.
HoUia Mens, president of Duke
Srrtrermty, introduced a resolution
ifhp6flng the one-year probation
on the bowl-bound teams. Only th>-
South Carolina members of the
conference - -Furman, the citadel
and the University of South Car-
ditis*—voted along with the two
schools involved in an effort to
fight the resolution.
The resolution said "that if any
conference school participated in
a bowl game in the calendar year
of 1!K>'2 or thereafter, that such
participaation will constitute a
violation of which the violator will
he placed on probation for one
year ..."
A fierce verbal battle ensued be-
tween spokesmen for Clemson and
Maryland the representatives of
North Carolina before the resolu-
tion passed.
When the announcement was
made, officials of both Clemson
and Mary lan dwere openly bitter a-
bout the decision. Said one offic-
ial: "It's the most high-handed act
in conference history."
The Southern Conference's action
against its two member schools
Slowed an earlier session in
fch the group voted to ban all
post-season games and endorsed
limited control of televised games.

Mississippi in its final game.

Southeast Is For
Grid Bowl Games
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 15 <C.Kt_
The Southeastern Conference used
only two of three scheduled busi-
ness sessions to endorse bowl
games, make new rules about
freshmen football players, limit
football scholarships and trim spr-
ing practice, and quick adjourn-
ment was expected today of the
conference's 19th annual meeting.
Only election of officers, a little
more discussion and selection of
the site for next year's meeting
were left for the remaining busi-
ness session. The 12 members
schools attended to the meat of
business matters at two sessions
yesterday.
By voting down one proposed
constitutional amendment and en-
dorsing another, the conference re-
fused to abolish or even restrain
football bowl games.

Identity Of Body
Sought By Police
PEARSALL, Tex., Dec. 15 <U.B>
—Police sifted a pile of human
bones and faded men's clothing to-
day in an attempt to track down
the identity of a skeleton found
near here yesterday by a hunter.
George Toalson of Pearaall told
officers he stumbled on the skele-
ton about 100 yards off Highway
281. A police search turned up the
clothing.
Sheriff Jessie Dobbs said a den-
tist would examine the teeth of
the skull, which still contained
gold fillings, in an attempt to es- i
tablish an identification.
McCarthy Hits At
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 <U.Rx-
The State Department's firing of
ex-diplomat John Stewart Service
today provoked a new demand from
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy for the
ouster of Secertary of State Dean
Acheson and ambassador Philip C.
Jessup.
The Wisconsin Republican told
a news conference in San Francis-
co that Acheson and Jessup "are
the two obvioous heads that should
roll" for the delay in dismissing
Service.
