' In aa interview today the coach M tha Orange Bowl winners de scribed the aew grid law as "one 01 the worst rule" erer adopted thd observed: Game Will Drag "It will make the game drag S.t. It may be of some help to e small college bat it will help the larger ones aa ranch or more, because it will allow them to de velop boys primarily for offense or defense. "It will take a lot of the play lag responsibility away from the players. He described as "not only en tirely possible bat probable" such tactics as alternating complete baekf Jelds and lines for offense ad defense, shuttling, quarter acks with fresh instructions ev ry, three or four plays and bulk Withdrawal of players for sideline revision of faulty set-ups. McKeen said that changing Of the rule to permit a player to fa-enter a game once in each Qaarter would remove most of the objections. Critics of the rale claim penal ties for excessive time would not curb wholesale player snapping because these could be evaded by tossing a pass or running out of J frauds to stop the watch J oat be ore the substitution.

Thev show that for the seeond straight year ths reformed tbld baseman led the league not only In earned ran average, hat also In the nsaally overlooked oppon ents batting average. ! The 1940 batting average ef Baekva combined opposition as remaned bv Tommy Holmes, Brooklyn baseball writer, was 1.229. the exact percentage of the previous year. What! No tm provement. Tha enoonents'-hattlng-average figures this is ro'ag to be a lot of figures if anyone wants to turn baek now treent some in triguing comparisons. IThrbe Ranks 2nd For instance, Klrby Higbe. the Phlllie pitcher who .was graduat ed to the Brook lvn Dodgers this winter with a $100,000 degree, ranked 17th In earned run av erage, yet he ranked No. 2 in opponents batting average with a .231 mark. That would Indicate that a pit cher's value Is based more on the opponents' batting average than on earned runs, for nig be was much In demand and brought a fancy sun which would seem out of keeping with his No. 17 rating In the earned run department Walks, some extra base hits and slower fielding might boost an earned run average more than a little. Fat Freddy Srd No. 3 in opponents average and No. 4 in earned runs might surprise. He s none other thaq plump, jovial Freddy FlUsim- mons, whose baseball obituary has been in the "bold rack these many years. Fat Freddy wasn't even in the first 18 finishers in 1939. yet last season he held the opposition to a .232 average, showing that he didn't have to resort to a fading-armed check er's trick of easing up and letting them hit when it wasnt too dan gerous. New names sprinkle the list of leaders in opponents' batting av erage for 1940, with some of the 1939 headliners dropping prac tically out of sight. The newcomers include Junior Thompson, fourth with a mark of 233t RIP SeweTl. sixth at .238; Manuel Salvo, eighth with .248, and Hal Schumacher, ninth with .251. Claude Passeaa held steady in fifth place at .237. aad Harry Gumbert remained 10th at .252.
