3 Jollege coaches have been
>r»ig for a return to two-pla-
foctball and tliere was a lot
ilk about it when the rules
littne held its annual session.
;he rule change that resulted
far from unlimited substitu-
soi lething necessary to two-
3ii football.
fact, the committee made it
mure difficult to play two-
snlfootball than under the old
fe rules-makers restricted the
dclivns that go with two-pla-
football — the fourth and the
tlat follows the ball chang-
arjds.
jEloLI) RULE allowed two
ded entries per period for
mtn and substitution of an
fcam on any time out pro-
tlose on that team had not
dyl exhausted their two en-
^Biree platoons were used by
many schools — one offensive, one
defensive and one both ways. It
came mighty close to two-platoon
football.
The new rule says a coach can
substitute a full team only when
time is out, and those ’time-outs
are restricted. Only two subs will
be permitted with fourth down
coming up and only two will be
permitted on the down following
the ball changing hands. No sub
stitutions whatsoever are" allowed
on second and third downs unless
time is out.
If the coach gets in a full team
he will have to waste a play—run
the ball out of bounds or throw an
incomplete pass. On running plays
time remains in. And suppose he
does waste the play and gets his
defensive team in, then what’s he
going to do about getting his of
fensive team back in if the oppo
sition fumbles the punt and the
ball goes back to the kicking
team ? He can’t substitute a full

team without wasting another
down or taking a time-out.
There are supposed to be 11 to
13 changes of the ball per half and
the coaches can substitute only
four times.
THE RULES committee made
its changes this year with three
things in mind: to force the play
ers to go both ways (thus the
coach will have to instruct accord
ingly), to do away with recording
of substitutions (this eliminates
the lines of players who have to
be listed by the officials while the
crowd grumbles about the slowness
of the game) and to stop the 59-
called “messenger service”—send
ing in a player every down to call
the coach’s play.
Since there is no two - platoon
football, all players must go both
ways. Since there is no restriction
on the number of times a player
may enter the game, there is no
need for listing them as they come
in. Since there can be no wild-
carding on second and third downs,
the messenger service has been
taken care of. Now the game is
being turned back to the players.
The coach won’t be able to call
each play because he won’t have
enough timeouts to do it. Only
four per half now are allowed
without penalty.
IT APPEARS there should be
less kicking on third down since
the kicker can’t be gotten into the
game on second or third down
without wasting a timeout.
This was the major change in
the rules but there was another
of some importance. At least it
showed the rules-makers were try
ing to open up the game more.
The T quarterback has been ineli
gible to receive a pass because he
was unable to be a yard back of
the line of scrimmage if he took
the passback from under the cen
ter.
So the quarterback will have to
be a triple threater—pass, run
and receive passes.

Fish Statistics
Show Prospects
Coach Shelby Metcalf’s Fish
cagers, who now hold a 4-1 record,
are not to be outdone by their var
sity mates. Freshman statistics
show promising prospects for next
year.
Three starters have connected on
one-half or more of their field
goal attempts. John Beasley, 6-7
center from Linden-Kildare, owns
a .506 shooting percentage, is the
team’s leading scorer with 94
points and rebounder with 56. His
scoring average is 18.8.
Billy Atkinson, 5-10 guard from
Dallas (Jefferson), has shot at a
51 per cent clip and has 62 points
for a 12.4 norm; and Dick Rector,
6-1 forward from Cactus, has hit
50 per cent from the field, totals
41 points and a 10.3 average. His
figures are for only four games.
Dick Stringfellow, 6-4 forward
from Cooper, has only a 37 per
cent shooting average, but is the
club’s second leading point-maker
with 74, or 14.8 per game.
Joe Roberts, 6-2 guard from
Corpus Christi (Ray), has flipped
in 33 points for a 6.6 average and
John Reynolds, 6-3 forward from
Uossum Walk, is averaging 5.8 off
29 points.
The Fish have fouled 111 times
to their opponents’ 98 and are be
hind in free throws, 74-91. But
they own a lead in field goals, 160-
128, and in rebounds, 266-227.

When you drive as much as 500 miles a day—as lots of
us do in this part of the country—you’ll really appreciate
Ford’s new ride. Not just one or two, but many improve
ments team up to make this the smoothest ride you
ever tried. Just one example—a whole new suspension
system lets the wheels move horizontally when they hit
a bump. Something like afighter rolling with the punch.
Result—shocks are squelched before they get through
to you. You’ll notice a big difference at ail speeds.
Come take a test drive and see what we mean. No

Former Aggie Football Great
Dies Suddenly In Venezuela
Richai’d E. (Dick) Callender Jr.,
36, a star linebacker for the A&M
football team in the late 1940s,
died suddenly last Saturday in
Venezuela.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
R. E. Callender of 209 Lee Street
in College Station.
Callender was graduated from
A&M with an engineering degree
in 1950. He was employed by
Brown and Root Construction Co.
for seven years, part of that time
in Venezuela. He then joined Ro-
manin Construction Co. and be
came superintendent of its plant at
El Tigre, Venezuela.
He lettered in football in 1948
and 1949 and was often cited by
sportswriters for his defensive
play as a linebacker for the Ag
gies. His coach, Homer Norton,
described the 170-pounder as the
“toughest little man on Kyle
Field.”
In addition to his parents, Cal
lender is survived by his wife, the
former Jo Ann Nason of Aberdeen,
Miss.; a son, Richard III, 5; a
daughter, Julia Ann, 3; and one
sister, Mrs. Merrill Smith of New
Orleans.
The body is scheduled to arrive
Thursday in New Orleans from
Venezuela. Burial will be at Aber
deen. Other funeral arrangements | Home of Aberdeen were incom-
by the Lann Memorial Funeral I plete Wednesday.

Cadets, Arkansas
Have Long Layoffs
Much to Coach Bob Rogers’ de
light, the Aggie basketballers will
have a longer layoff than most of
their SWC foes. Because of A&M’s
setup with final examinations and
a lucky twist of the schedule, the
Cadets will have been on vacation
from competition for 18 days.
Arkansas, the next Aggie enemy
in conference play, will have had
19 days off. But they’ll have to
play Tulsa just two days before
they meet A&M in Fayetteville,
and the Ags will have had three
days rest after a clash with Hous
ton.
The Aggies go into action again
next Wednesday against Houston
in the Bayou City.
