Coaches Support Platoon System, Survey Reveals NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-4m College football s much maligned two platoon system received sup port from new quarters today. A newspaper nationwide survey showed more college football coaches for It than against it, with the main boost coming surprisingly enough from men tors of smaller institutions. Coach Lou Little of Columbia, chairman of the football rules committee, issued a strong state ment in favor of the free sub stitution rule. Pacific Coast football coaches last nleht voted 7 to 6 in favor of keeping the rule that permits 11-man units to be thrown into a game at a time. The New York Herald Tribune said it sent questionnaires to more than 500 coaches of big and small colleges throughout the country, asking: "Do you believe in the two-platoon system and has It helped or hurt football?" The paper said 48 percent of the coaches replied that they thought the two platoon system had helped the sport and only 31 said I hurt the game. Another 7.5 percent answered that the rule helped the big schools and worked a hardship on the small. The remaining 13.5 percent was on the fence. The Daper said the survey show- ed the small college coaches liked the system better than did the big time tutors. Fifty percent of the small college coaches who an swered thought the two platoon played helped football. The bigger college coaches polled only 40 percent In support of it with 38 against and the others doubtful. Snead Wins Most Money Of Golfers MIAMI. Fla..

Area Schools Feel T-Y Impact The impact of television on the sports world today disturbed the annual winter meeting of the Pa cific Coast conference.

Frankly worried were the de legates from Southern California not all the schools but those representing the two major col leges. In the Los Angeles area there are now 302.000 television sets a potential of 500,000 video viewers. Both schools noted a drop in attendances the last season. Other Important business be fore the conference heads today included the problem of alumni recruiting. Conference Commissioner Vic tory O. Schmidt said abatement proceedings had been stsrted against an unspecified number of colleges. Schmidt declared the conference would consider vot ing on the proposition that if alumni were considered guilty of repeated offenses in recruiting athletes that such schools would be subject to abatement proceed ings under the conference regula tions. "Repeated ..violations w . 1 1 1 make the offending college lia ble directly to the conference," Schmidt said. Gossip in conference circles was that Ted Shipkey, head foot ball coach at the University of Montana, had been offered the same job at Washington State College last night. He was of fered the head coaching job at the University of New Mexico. Shipkey was one of Stanford's great ends. v Conference circles also heard that Navy was withdrawing from top drawer competition and had dropped negotiations with Stan ford for games in 1951 and 1952.

After they had played a full-length game without officials the players thought there was more sports manship but couldn't see where the play was any cleaner. They called their own fouls a total of nine. A supervisor silting on the sidelines jotted down 32 in his little book.
