By IftlGH FULLERTON, JR.
New York, F«b. 1ft (Ah Lou
Little ha* a new word for li —
two-platoon "hyaterla.” . . . That
may Hound strange, coming from
football’s leading advocate of free
substitution, but here’s how Lou
puts It: ‘Tm in favorj of free
substitution as the pros' have it
becaufe it helps the coach with a
small squad if he can juggle his
players any way he wants. I; be
lieve this platoon hysteria will die
down before long and more players
will be playing both on offense and
defense. But you can’t limit Sub
stitutions much and play the game
we have now; you’d slow It dowfai
too m|Uch.”
Little is equally enthusiastic
about the new rule restricting the
use of forearms in blocking, whidh
was conceived by Duke’s Wallace
Wade. . , . “If the officials enforce
this rule and if the coaches teach
their players to observe' it, fnoat
of the roughness should be elimi
nated. . . . Why, last season it; was
getting so all the linemen Were
crying for nose guards for protec
tion from those forearm and elbow
block*.”

received a message reminding

One pf them thought he’d take a
chance and call Bob Balfe, sports
editor of the Palm Beach Post-
Times. . . , “Sure, I was just about
to call yod,” replied Bob. “They’re
meeting here. Said they wanted a
long-range view of problems.’?

Red Sox to Win
Washington, Feb. 15—Iff*—Buc-
ky Harris overlooked his former
teammates, the New York Yankees
Tuesday and. picked the Boston Red
Sox to win the 1950 American
League pennant race.
“They’H probably think this is
sour grkpes in New York,” said
Bucky, “but I think the Red Box’s
young pitchers will carry them to
the pennant. At least that’s the
way it looks on paper.”
Harris, who piloted the Yan
kees to the junior circuit penant
in 1947, atarts his third term as
the Washington Nats’ manager
this year. He left Tuesday for
Orlando, Fla., where the Nats will
open spring training March 1.
“The Red Sox have been groom
ing those young pitchers of theirs
for a long time,” he continued.
He indicated that he expects
both Chuck Stobbs and Mickey
McDermott to come through for
Joe McCarthy in 1950. Iif>1949,
Stobbs compiled an 11-6 record
against a 5-4 slate for McDermott.
Along with Parnell (25-7) and!
Dobson (14-12), a good year for
the two young hurler* could make
it ai^fasy Boston year, Bucky
said. -j
Bucky picked the Yanks, Detroit
and Cleveland to round but tee
