PORTS wi-:XOR TZ MV ANONEL FISCHOFF Once again comes the meeting of the rules committee and once again comes the question of whether to have un limited substitution in college football comes up. This year, however, it appears that unlimited substitution will be en acted. It was abolished in 1953. The result of the abolishment was a more balanced foot ball player since a player would have to play both on offense -and defense in most cases. This was later changed by Paul Dietzel at LSU with the Chinese Bandits, Go, and White teams as the solution to lack of depth. Unlimited substitution appears to be a good idea. After all, in most high schools except those administered by the NCAA (according to the news releases there are some for what reason we cannot imagine) there is unlimited substitu tion and in the pros there is unlimited substitution. There are, as there are to most arguments, two sides. In high school, some players may not be strong enough to play both ways but may be able to play one way very well. In the pros, specialists are needed since the game is as rough as it is necessary to do only one job. Also, the game has gotten scientific and a person must do one job and do it well. A college player is strong enough to go both ways and the game is not as scientific as the pros. The coaches are undecided about this despite their over whelming pre-vote vote in favor of unlimited subbing by trying to get timeouts reduced so the opportunity for un limited substitution would be reduced. The answer is to use unlimited substitutions but not to overuse them. It is a sad state of affairs but many colleges are giving up their football teams not to de-emphasize the sport but because they cannot make ends meet. "The Sporting News" lists Missouri Valley teams, Wichita and Cincinnati and also Detroit and Dayton. Perhaps it is best that these teams fold. There is a solution, however. The solution is the drop ping of football scholarships completely but to continue to play if enough boys come out. For one thing this would further emphasize study and would return the game to fun instead of the semi-professionalism it is today. We do not advocate this for all schools although it might not be a bad idea. Currently we are using this solution just for the schools that are in trouble, financially, with football. Another possibility would be to have the students pay for their tickets in addition to the activity fee. This cost would be less than the general admission fee, but it would still bring money into the till. An amusing anecdote comes in the mail from the UNC publicity department. It seems that Elliott Murnick, Tar Heel manager, must have a shoe shine before each game or WC loses. In fact, the only time this year that Murnick 4id not get a shine, the team was defeated by Indiana. North Carolina was on the Notre Dame campus and he had to have his shoe shine. His coach suggested he shine the shoes himself since the nearest bootblack was a costly taxi ride away. Murnick would not have this, though. Every one forgot the matter until after the game, a 76-68 over time victory. Murnick had indeed gotten his shoe shine. It is a little early for baseball but just as a matter of interest we compiled our interpretation of the 1962 statistics, taking into consideration poor performances in certain areas. The results were surprising in some instances: Five Top A. L. Players Five Top A. L. Pitchers 1. Norm Siebern, K. C. 1. Camilo Pascual, Minn. 2~. Jerry Lumpe, K. C. 2. Ralph Terry, New York J..

The logical person to ask would be Coach Chuck Noe. "The biggest change," Mr. Noe stated, is the attitude toward basketball and the effort. Every Dne has remarked how hard we play and what little we have." The averyone includes and especially means those viewing the Game :ocks in other cities. "We have accomplished this (our record and hard fight) by being :loser than any team could possi yly be. We put our hearts on the middle of the floor and dare the )ther team to jump over them. "They (UVA supporters) could riot believe how hard we playe- at UVA. We just got after them and stayed after them. If you have pressure against pressure, one side is bound to give (meaning, of :ourse, the other side)." Mr. Noe coached for ten years at Virginia. Tech and VMI and dur ing that time never had a losing season. He compiled a total of over 100 wins. But about the '62-63 Birds, he says, "I've coached bas ketball for ten years and I've never been prouder of any team than I am of this one. All I can ask is for them to give all they've got. After every game, I have been able to get a good night's sleep. I have never been able to do this with any other team." The Birds were highly praised on the road. They were given a standing ovation at Bradley and another ovation at St. Louis. The Buffalo paper said exactly what Coach Noe said, that the Birds put their hearts in the middle of the floor and dared Cansius to jump >ver them. The Birds then defeated Rhode [sland in the consolation game of the Queen City Tournament. "It bakes a good team to take the pressure, Mr. Noe said, meaning Lhat USC could. "Rhode Island youldn't take the pressure. Vir cinia backed up for the first few minutes and that is all we needed." tual Cloara JITS BLAZEi >ulder Classics SPORT C' A'ith vests 75 to 85.00 were 29.95 1 to 699" 2490 o litionals,3 rduroys, whii lannelsw 24.95 90 s Freei Gamecock" Charge Jim Moss e Talks Progress Statistics Depict 1962 Bird The Atlantic Coast Conferenc has released its summary of fal sports for 1982.
