7 Educator Wonders How Football Can Last With Specialization By BRUCE BIOSSAT With tongue In cheek, an English professor at the University of Indiana has forecast the sad collapse of college football by 1960. The way Prof. Samuel Yellen sees It, in an article in the cur rent Atlantic Monthly, the first step in football's demise began in 1947 when the University of Michigan team introduced the now widespread platoon system.

Remember cameras and photo supplies make ex cellent gifts, tool Under this plan a coach uses two different teams one for de fense and the other for offense. Gazing ahead, Yellen sees the re sulting demand for football ma terial exerting an ever heavier drain on the supolv. First, little schools like Wabash ; and Amherst will have to give I up the game. As for the bigger I schools, they will manage all j right for a time. But around 19 l 52, some outfit like Notre Dame i will carry the platoon idea a bit lurtner. tneyu pop up with a specialized offensive unit of, say, three or four men trained Just for one play maybe a screen pass, or a deceptive off-tackle slant. The opponents won't catch on at first. Later, however, they'll begin to develop specialized de fensive units designed to cope only with the specialized offen sive group. Then as soon as the later trots on the field, the de fensive bunch will follow. You can see that the possibili ties here are almost endless. . A coach might peed half a doz en fullbacks, each for special plays. Squads might jump from the present 60 or 70 men to 150 or 2U0. college athletic costs will be sure to mount to staggering heights. Pressed for bigger funds the schools will find themselves in a quandary as 1960 nears. Yellen, squinting into his crys tal ball, sees mighty Michigan at last devising the ultimate so- lution. Since money will be the great need, why not another sta dium seating another 100,000 peo ple? Why not two games every Saturday instead oi oner Yellen projects himself into I9 60 to imagine what it would be like. Michigan now has two stadiums. On successive Satur days the Wolverines play double headers. Sometimes they win both games, sometimes they divide. But here's the big feature. The two fields are connected by a tunnel. Michigan shuttles its pla toons and specialized units from one game to the other, more or less as they are needed. Why not? They're never employed full time in one contest. Then the inevitable tragedy oc curs. Traffic in the tunnel is pretty heavy and confusion Is the rule. So no one can really be blamed when the signals get mixed and Michigan's de fense Dlatoon trots out and lfnes up against Michigan's offensive squad while in the other stadium Notre Dame's two main units face each other.

(Picture by Photo Labi playing themselves In adjoining stadiums before a joint crowd of 200,006, is the moment Yellen thinks football's death knell will sound. You think the guy is crazy? Maybe so. But at least he shows some nerve in tackling one of the big questions that is kicking around today. The question is: What is becoming of the "whole man" in a world that divides work and thought ever more mi nutely? - . U. S. Engineer Survives Terrible Attack In Bolivia CHEWELAH, Wash. P Hung, stabbed and slugged 1 n the face with a two-by-four dur ing the Bolivian uprising, mining engineer Pat Green was still here today to tell the story. The 35-year old man was a sup ervisor at a Bolivian mine at he time of the revolt last summer. Green said he and six other Americans were seized by en raged miners as hostages. The miners hoped to, force the Boliv ian government to return deport ed union leaders by taking the Americans as hostages. He said the sight of two miners killed by government troops sparked the violence that led to his own troubles. "Enraged by X X X liquor and the sight of the two dead miners more than 1,000 miners burst in to the union hall crying 'b 1 o o c for blood' and 'dirty gringos,' Green said.

"But, that wasn't all," Green said. "The workers returned to the hall a short time later, plant ed two cases of dynamite around the building and blew it up." "The surviving Americans es caped the final explosion because the miners had locked us in a small room In the union hall and forgot us."

Humphrey declared that the philosophy of the prison is based on revenge and punishment, and that it should be based on re habilitation so that prisoners can become useful to society after they are released. Humphrey said there Is need at the state institutions for better administration and more compe tent employes. He said he has received reports of cruelty to patients at the Hill crest school for girls and at the rairview nome ior feeble-minded persons. Humphrey also proposed that administration of the institutions be taken away from the State Board of Control and placed in the hands of an organization such In Oregon It's McCredie Hot Mineral Springs Resort Open All Year.
