aids may be voted out . . . Western football fans are to some extent
still questioning the substitutions, and lack thereof, made by Pappy
Waldorf, Len Casanova, et aL in the 13-12 loss to the-East in the
Shrine game this year. But we fail to see how Casanova can qualify
for any of the blame. He was in the press box'on the scouting phone
during the game . . And did you know that Casanova is credited
with having made the longest punt in Kezar Stadium history? It
was against St Mary's in one of the remembered Santa Clara-St.
Mary's grid classics. Standing three yards behind his own goal line,
Cas put the foot to one that eventually stopped on the Gael's 1-yard
line. That was in 1924 . . .If Generalissimo H. Luby intends to re
sign Mel (Tarzan) Krause, he'd best be getting with it pronto. Eu

Dapper to manage the club there. Dapper has been a very popular
kipper for the Billings club of the Pioneer League, where they
think nothing of averaging over 2,000 per- game in attendance. At
one time the Billings natives gave the big catcher a "night and

Arkansas were school officials and fans that Wyatt was given a r

Four-Minute
Proviso Out
Five Other Changes
Also Made in Rules
By HUGH FULLERTON JR
NEW YORK (J) The NCAA
Football Rules Committee Wednes
day eased up a trifle on the "anti-
platoon substitution rule and
made five other changes in the
rules for 1955.
In addition it strongly urged
coaches and officials to observe
and enforce two rules now in the
book with an implied threat of
drastic action if "false start" vio
lations aren't eliminated.
Accepting the recommendation
of the Football Coaches Assn. the
committee eliminated the contro
versial four-minute segment at the
end of each half and ruled that
the, players who start each quar
ter of a game will be eligible to
leave and re-enter once during that
quarter. Those who 'don't partici
pate in the opening down of a pe
riod can't re-enter in the same
period. I ,
Although this is a step in the
other direction from the change of
two years ago that outlawed two
platoon football, the committee
and coaches had no inclination to
return to platoon football. The idea
was to da away with the four-minute
segment, which some coaches
felt made football a six-period
game, and give coaches and
doctors a chance to examine slight
ly injured players without losing
them for; an entire quarter.

three years, including a two-year
hitch in the Army. Sandy Saddler
finally has agreed .to defend his
world featherweight title Feb. 25
at Madison Square Garden
against Teddy (Red Top) Davis,
the No. L contender from Hart
ford, Conn.
Stripped of recognition in Na
tional Boxing Assn. states because
he refused to heed the NBA s Dec.
14 deadline, the 28-year-old cham
pion will " be engaging someone
other than Willie Pep in a title
fight for the first time.
The rangy New York Negro won
the title from wily Willie- Oct 29,
1948, lost it back to Pep the next
year and won it again. Sept. 8,
1950, when Pep "retired" because
of a shoulder injury. He stopped
Pep again, Sept. 28, 1951, his last
defense.
Financial arrangements were
not disclosed but Saddler obviously
. is going to get most of the money
for giving Davis a chance at the
crown.
Davis, a poker "faced 31-year-old
veteran who once was managed
by Pep, moved into the No. 1 chal
lenger position by outpointing Per
cy Bassett Nov, 26. 1954, in a 12
round elimination bout at the Gar
den. Probably the 'losingest
fighter to get -a title shot, Davis
has a record of 58-47-2 for 107 pro
bouti - dating back to 1946. How
ever, he was unbeaten last year
in six starts.
Saddler has a brilliant record
since he came out of the ama
teurs in 1944, winning 137, losing
12 and drawing twice in 151 bouts

Saddler and Davis agreed Wed

His scoring achievements stamp
him as being a better player than
Owens, and if this is so he should
be something to behold , while in

Conference player the last two
years and many believe he could
join the - famed Harlem Globe

The Bearcats go into the series

By JERRY LISKA
CHICAGO m The National
Basketball Committee still thinks
the present "bonus free throw
rule is working out okay and that
if scoring has to be throttled some
other gimmick must be used
like perhaps a larger balL ' f
Confronted by the fact that los
ing teams in six major college
games Tuesday sight scored more
field goals than the winners. H.V.
Porter, secretary of the national
roup which makes both collegiate
and prep rules, Wednesday had
this to say:""'-"---
J talked with all 20 members
of the committee recenthr and
practically all of them think the
bonus free throw (1-1, a good first
shot meriting a second) is work
ing out in good fashion . even
though the scoring is running high.
"Reports from college and high
school coaches throughout the
country express the same senti
ment. The feeling is that the
score! are normally high early in
the season, but even last week a
leveling off appeared to be devel
oping: as the defense catches up
with the offense. , '
Porter, also executive -secretary
of the National Federation ot High
School Athletic Assns., said ' the
current foul rule, was the result
of close study and not a haphazard
experiment It is based on a the
ory that possession is worth eight
tenths of a point. This . spurred
fouling under the old single free
throw rule and even under the
more recent rule of a second gift
shot after a first miss.. '
"Now, ihe bonus free throw val
ue .is much more than .the eight
tenths of a point attributed to pos
session and is severe enough pen
alty, to check flagrant iouling,
said Porter,
"It should be noted that skill in
field goal shooting is growing, as
well as skill in free throw shooting
which now is a vital part of any
practice. The one-handed , shot ' is
practically impossible to stop oand
even as an old coach, I must con
fess that basketball play now is
much better than in . the old -i set
and shot days.; j (.
"With skill increasing in every
department,- scoring naturaUyin-
creases, just like new records are
set in track every year. It's progress.-
