'Buckshot' O'Brien Stars as Butler Fails
Before Accurate Michigan Shooting Spree
VarsityTops Frosh Matmen
HE'SUBJECT of the two-platoon system is presently under very
serious consideration, and some of the attitudes of well-known
figures in the world of sports should be aired.
Tennessee's veteran coach, Bob Neyland, states, "I will support
to the limit any move to abolish the two-platoon system in college
football."
The dean of American football coaches, Amos Alonzo Stagg,
complains, "It's not the same game. This platoon business was
unheard of in early days, if a fellow had a position on the team
he was expected to fill the job the whole game."
Coach Harvey Harman of Rutgers states bluntly that the two-
platoon system must go "before it destroys the game."
ON THE OTHER SIDE of the question Michigan's Bennie Ooster-
baan gives three major reasons for his support of the two-platoon
system. "First, it promotes better football. Fresh men can play a
better game than those used for long periods at a time. Second, more
men can play the game. Third, it tends to lessen the chance of
injury. A tired man is more apt to be injured than a fresh player."
Lynn Waldorf of California tourhes on an interesting angle
when he says, "It helps the spectators to appreciate the impor-
tance of defense and the job the boys on the defensive team are
doing."
Henry Frnka of Tulane, Howie Odell of Washington, Bud Wilkin-
son of Oklahoma, and Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd are all in favor of
this type of football.
H E SITUATION really boils down to the fact that if a coach
has enough players, the two-platoon system is fine. It's the
smaller schools who are raising the erv."ret rid of the w-nla.nnW

Wolverine reserves more than
holding their own for the final
25 point advantage.
Michigan's third win in four
games and second without a loss
on the home floor saddled the
Bulldogs with their third straight
Conference loss, but the Wolver-
ine margin was the biggest yet.
TIE LOSERS, displaying a
clever block offense, tallied 'an
overall 30% of their shots, but
hit only 23%°l in the first half.
The second stanza was an entire-
ly different ball game as the
O'Brien-led Bulldogs were out-
scored only 33-32.
It was Michigan's defense that
stalled the Butler attack in the
first half, but the visitors ral-
lied against the switching sec-
ond half set-up.
The winners worked well around
the pivot, displaying snappy pass-
ing and good ball-handling.
Next outing for the Wolverines
is against North Carolina State
December 19 and 20 at Raleigh,
North Carolina.
Tally One,
Varsity wrestlers continued to
Dominate competition in the sec-
ond and final day of the fresh-
man-varsity mat meet.
Walter Noon won the frosh's
only victory of the day, as he up-
set Dick Hindrian in a 165 pound
match, 9-7.
* * *
JACK GALLON, who won the
freshman's lone victory yesterday,
wrestled for the second time in
two days and lost to Dave Space,
5-3, in a close 135 pound match.
,n another 135 pound en-
counter, Bob Sligh beat fresh-
man Gordon Bronson, despite a
third period rally by Bronson.
Planck pinned Bill Comstock in
the first period of a 175 pound
match while Holcombe took
Gordon Neufang to the canvas in
the second period of a 165 pound
battle.

jsystem.'
This is where the statement of Blair Cherry, Texas mentor,
takes on significance. "I think the current rules and regula-
tions allowing the use of' the two-platoon system will lead to
a definite separation of major colleges from minor ones. Every
team will compete in its own class."
Jeff Cravath of Southern California sums it up by saying,
w "The two-platoon system is tough on schools who lack the man-
power, but it helps the major teams by giving all their players a
chance to play." He adds significantly, "It helps the smaller schools
by keeping them out of competition with more powerful teams."
* * *1 *
IN OTHER WORDS the smaller schools complain because of
unfair and overpowering competition. The coaches' solution to the
situation is segregation of the smaller schools from the larger ones.
Will that, then, be the result of this latest trend of football?
It seems logical and fair enough, but, of course, it is impossible
to determine.
One thing is certain, however. The two-platoon system is not
going to destroy the game, as some mer, seem to feel. This sport
has undergone more drastic changes than the introduction of the
two-platoon system - the forward pass and the shift, to name two
- and all of them have helped to make the game more interesting,
not kill it.
The annual meeting of the National Football Coschs Associa-
tion is being held in New York January 12-14. This subject is certain
to come up, and possibly some rule changes will be made regarding
the two-platoon system, but none of them will go so far as to outlaw
this style of play. It's here to stay and should lead to a better and
more fascinating brand of football.
