He has made only five field goals and five free shots fo|- a total of 15. His shots just haven’t been hitting like they should. Besides that, Garcia has not had the pep and vinegar in his ball handling and does not look like the Mike of old. He got hurt in a practice game early In the season but that is okay now.

The Duke coach told Dunn Civic ibs yesterday thgt he would re- iv Ijiis request to the ru)ea con|- m|ttee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in January to abolish the measure. Wade is a member of the rules committee. The substitution rule was used for the first time this fall. “It has taken the game out of the hands of the players apd putxit in the hands of! the coach,” Wade dqcalred. “It has taken BjWay dis-* cipline, whereas we ought to put enough discipline into the) game to be beneficial to the player.” Wade, who has coached three Rose Bowl elevens, said that a good player has to make sacrifices.
