By Harold V. Ratliff
Associated Press Sports Writer
The new substitution rule in
football, which had even the coach
es going in a daze and proclaiming
that they wouldn’t know how to use
it, now has been clarified by the
official rules.
Abb Curtis, supervisor of South
west Conference officials, has visit
ed all the schools and explained it.
The coaches are quite clear on it
and have found it isn’t so com
plicated after all. That doesn’t
mean, however, that all of them
like it.
This is the rule that allows more
liberal substitutions but does not,
as first reports by the press in
dicated, mean a return to two
platoons.
REASONS FOR the first er
roneous report are not clear but
it probably came from the confus
ion created by having the middle
downs allow platooning but the
first and fourth—the ones needed
to furnish two-platooning—not al
low it.
Actually, the majority of coaches
want a return to the two-platoon
system and it was a trifle sur
prising that they didn’t get it since
they dominate the rules committee.
But perhaps their representatives
on the committee were among the
minority that didn’t favor two-
platoons.
Reasons for the rule are three
fold: it forces the coaches to teach
their players to go both ways, it
prevents the messenger sytetem

Favorite Fish
On Gulf Coast
Is Flounder
BY VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
Our favorite fish in the Gulf of
Mexico knows no particular season.
It is the flounder . . . one of the
most unusual of all fishes.
This is a fish with many aliases,
the most. popular of which is the
fluke. Webster describes fluke as
mistake. And that’s what a flound
er looks like.
IT IS A fish flattened by nat
ure’s steam roller in the process of
creation. But it is a wonderful
fish to catch and eat.
Flounder fishing long has been
considered one of the favorite
night fishing sports. The bottom
dwelling creatures can be found in
shallow waters, with the use of a
Coleman lantern or strong beam
lamp of similar nature.
During the last few years rod
and reel anglers also have dis
covered that bait fishing for
flounder can be real sport.
A flounder will hit on most any
thing ' that will temp a speckled
trout. It will fight lures. Or
it will nibble away at a live shrimp
and finally take it with a grab.
YOU CAN catch flounder while
fishing off boat docks, also in the
the middle of Laguna Madre, or in
any of the back-bay waters along
the Texas coast. There is particu
larly good flounder fishing along
the coast from Rockport south to
Port Isabel.
Last fall Doug English, who
makes Bingo baits, was standing
on the concrete wall of the basin
around Red Fish Lodge at Port
Mansfield. He was just killing
time while his boat was being
readied.
Doug flipped a yellow Bingo
alongside a concrete revetment.
Next thing he knew he had a big
flounder. He caught a half-dozen
in as many casts.
ANOTHER TIME a group of
biologists working down the intra
coastal canal decided to spend the
night off Padre Island near the
Port Mansfield cut. They caught
flounder until they were tired.
A group of Sweetwater busi
nessmen, headed by Earl Webb,
go to Port Isabel each summer.
They fish in Laguna Madre in the
vicinity of Three Islands and catch
enough flounder in a couple days to
fill their deep freeze.
Usually flounder are found on
the bottom, where they do their
feeding in the mud. That is why
in the fall of the ye^r they move
into the shallow waters to feed.
into the game on each down to call
the plays devised by the coach ard
it does away with the officials
having to keep a record of the
substitutions.
A PLAYER CAN be substituted
as many times as the coach can get
him into the game and he no longer
is limited to substitution only
twice in a period. Thus, there is
no need to keep a record.
The new rule permits unlimited
substitution on second and third
downs if the clock is stopped but
only two can be substituted on each
team when the ball changes hands
(first down) and on fourth down.
However, these two can be put in
while the clock is running. The
purpose is to allow the teams to
get quarterbacks and punters into
the game without penalty.
On a pass out of bounds on fourth
down that gets the first down,
there will be an automatic time
out. Thus the team with the ball
can make 11 substitutions. After
any score—safety, field goal or
touchdown—each team can substi
tute 11. Between periods they can
do it on penalty time outs and in
complete passes, 11 also can be
sent in.
ON FIRST DOWN if Team A
(offense) retires the ball and on
second and third downs 11 players
may be substituted if there is a
time out. But if A becomes B (de
fense)—the bail changes hands—
two substitutes are allowed on first
and fourth downs whether there is
a timeout or not.
Allowable timeouts have been
reduced from five to four per half.
This is just another move to insure
that the players will be coached
to play both offense and defense.
•In other words, the rules-makers
want rounded football players and
they want the game to be run by
the players themselves and not by
the coach sitting on the bench.
BOTH MOVES should result in
smaller squads since not as many
players will be needed if the boys
play both ways, and there doesn’t
have to be a whole company of
quarterbacks so a new one can go
in each down to take a message
from the coach.
But whether there will be a cut-
down in number of players is prob
lematical. The coaches may still
want large squads so they may
exploit the angle of fresh players
being better than tired ones, even
if the fresh players are not equal
in ability to those being rested.
But they still have to coach all
of them both ways.

A Solemn Farewell
Stan Musial, 42, of the St. Louis Cardinals gropes for the
right words as he announced his retirement from baseball
earlier this week. The Man, who played 22 years with the
Cardinals, will play his last game Sept. 29. “Baseball has
been my life,” said Musial, who three times won the Na
tional League Most Valuable Player award, seven times
led the league in hitting and broke numerous career records.
“I have had fun all these years.” (AP Wirephoto)
Texas, never a federal territory,
came into the United States as a
Republic on its own, and her lands
are either state owned or privately
owned so hunting arrangements
must usually be made with the
landowner.
To get Texas hunters in touch
with the landowner, and vice versa
is the primary purpose of the an
nual edition of the Texas Hunters
Guide, a publishing feat accomp
lished by listing name of owner,
ranch and address of over 3000
ranches, by county, registered with
the state as shooting preserves.
Hunters desiring leaves may con
tact these ranches for hunting ar
rangements.
LAST YEAR THE publication
began as a new concept in service
to sportsmen. Ray Sterr, a Cali
fornian accustomed to using fed
eral lands without pre-arranged
rights, came to Texas—the land of
private leases. To answer his own
problem, he solved it for others.
