Harold Green Stars As
Ponies Clout ACC High
Sophomore Takes Over High-Point
Duty, Anderson Unable To Play
By BUD WORSHAM
Reporter Sports Editor
Tall, rangy Harold Green, a southpaw sophomore, took
over the scoring slack caused by the illness of Carl Ander-
son and led the Sweetwater Mustangs to a 52 to 34 victory
over Abilene Christian High School here Tuesday night.
Green poured 25 points through the nets and grabbed
his share of the rebounds in Sweetwater’s final warm-up
game before opening district play Friday night at Vernon.
Anderson, bed-ridden the
past four days with the “flu”
and unable to even attend
last night’s contest, is hope-
ful that he will be able to
play Friday night. Doctors
reported that he could attend
school Thursday for the first
time this week.
Sweetwater's number two center,
Jerry Shackleford, is also recover-
ing from (he "flu” and was unable
to suit out for last night's game
against ACC high.
Ponies Come Through
Despite the loss of Anderson and
Shackleford (Anderson had scor-
ed 391 points ni 20 practice games)
the Ponies came through with fly-
ing colors Tuesday night.
Green and Dell Greer alternated
al the center slot for (he Mustangs.
Green delivered his best perform-
ance of the season.
Charles Wilson and Joe Smith
each garnered seven points for the
Ponies, Greer made five and Dal-
vin Jordan sank four. R. L. Mont-
gomery and Buster Davidson col-
lected two tallies each
Wilson chalked up all seven of his
points early in the first quarter, to
give his team a 13-7 advantage.
The Ponies led at halftime, 23-15.
Smith, Green Hot
Smith and Green waxed warm in
the third period 1o send the Mus-
tangs into a 40-25 margin.
The left-handed Green tallied nine
points in the third period and 10 in
the fourth stanza to clinch the con-
test for Sweetwater.
Last week, when the Mustangs
were at full strength, the Abilene
Christian High team bowed 55-31,
as Coach Ken Newton substituted
freely.
Tuesday night's triumph was the
Mustangs’ 13th in 21 non-confer-
ence matches.
Mustang "B" Wins
The Pony "B" squad gained vic-
tory number 10 against the AC.C

For Plaloon System
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va . Jan. 16—itfl—'The N. C. A. A.
football rules committee was ex-
pected to okay the two-platoon sys-
tem today as a means of reducing
injuries and producing faster
games.
A rules sub-committee voted
favorably on the free substitution
rule yesterday after Amos Alonzo
Stagg, grand old man of football,
made • strong plea for its reten-
tion.
Besides voting on the sub-com-
mittee's recommendations the
rules committee will also take
final action on editorial changes
designed to clarify Ihe rules.
Stagg. a member of the rules
committee since 1904, said he was
convinced the present rule ‘ gives
us the best game we’ve Ivor had.”
The subcommittee said everyone
concerned with the game is ac-
customed to the liberal substitu-
tion rule and that it "is not believed
to be significant in the ills of the
game."
The free substitution rule "re-
sults in fewer injuries, faster
games and in more effective and
wholesome use of personnel, ' the
sub-committee said.
Sub-committee members said the
present ruling would be retained
in “principle” and that some
changes may be made before the
rules'committee took a final vote
on the recommendations.
