THE BATTALION
NO RETURN TO OLD DAYS
Two-Platoon Football Cut
For Fall Says Committee
BY HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Football this fall won’t be two-
platoon as it was known 12 years
ago when the maneuver was
knocked out by the rules commit
tee.
The impression that there would
be a return to the days when full
teams could be sent in when neces
sary is a fallacy. This despite re
ports from the meeting of the
rules committee last winter that
the two-platoon system was being
restored.
People on the rules committee
wanted a boy to be coached both
ways, so they got the substitution
rule to say that a full team could
be sent in only when time was out.
In 1952—the last year of two-
platoon football — entire teams
could be substituted when the ball
changed hands. That meant that
a coach could get his defensive
team in as soon as the offensive
team gave up the ball.
But now time isn’t out when the
ball changes hands. The only in
stances when the clock is stopped
come after scores, incomplete pass
es, kicking out of bounds, an inter
cepted pass that is run o u t of
bounds or a run that goes out of
bounds.
Of course, a team still has four
free timeouts per half and can use
them to change full complements.
And faked injuries can stop the
clock but the rules committee so
trusts the coaches now that it did
n’t even put in a rule that would
thwart such a maneuver—forcing
substitution only for the injured
man, so that platoons could not be
sent in.
While the rules this year won’t
allow as much platooning as in
1952, there still is one thing that
is more liberal. Now two players
can be substituted at any time.
Thus the kicker and center who
passes the ball back to him can be
brought into the game when need-

Temperamental isn’t the word

ed. And the coach can quarterback
from the bench with ease.
Some coaches think they can suc
cessfully platoon under the new
rules but few of them are expected
to have strictly offensive and de
fensive teams. Rather, they will
coach both ways, or at least give
the offensive team enough defen
sive instructions that it can carry
on even if caught in a squeeze,
and do the same for the defensive
team, giving it enough offense that
it won’t be caught short.
Chances are that there will be
more kicking out of bounds than
ever before since a kick outside
stops the clock and gives the op
portunity for changing from of
fense to defense. However, Coach
John Bridgers of Baylor observes
that the punters are not going to
be accurate enough to pinpoint
their boots every time.
Since 1952 the rules makers have
been deciding how many times a
player might substitute. It got so
complicated that even the coaches
weren’t quite sure at all times
what they could do.
But that’s one of the significant
changes under the new rules. No
longer will anybody have to worry
whether they are going in at the
right time. There isn’t any re
striction on how many times a
player can substitute. In fact, no
record will be kept on substitu
tions.
There are other rules changes of
interest. One of them intrigues as
much as the free substitution rule.
How many times was there a dis
pute when a field goal was tried?
If the ball goes over the goal posts
it sometimes is difficult to deter
mine if it went between the posts.
The rules committee decided it
would remove the controversy by
allowing the goal posts to be
raised. The posts have been 20
feet from the ground—10 feet to
the crossbar and 10 feet above.
Now the rules-makers have insert
ed this: “The goal posts must be
at least 20 feet.” In other words,
they must be 20 feet but they can
be any height above 20.
Many schools will raise the goal
posts to say 30 feet. Field goal
tries seldom are higher than that.
Thus, it can better be seen if the
ball has gone between the goal
posts.
Another rule eliminates the prac
tice of grounding a pass to save
time. This was prevalent last fall
—the quarterback would just drop
the ball to the ground to use up a
down and run out time. It was
possible to do it because the rule
said “intentionally grounding a
pass is ruled only when done to
save yardage.”
This year the device can not be
used even if it’s not to save yard
age.
This fall the fellow who signals
for a fair catch won’t be able to
let the ball hit the ground, then
pick it up and run with it. The
new rule says if the safety man
signals for a fair catch, he can not
advance with the ball under any
circumstances.
When A1 Besselink sent his
second shot on the final hole of the
ICO skidding across the green,
PGA tournament supervisor Joe
Black gave him a free lift. But
Bessie skidded his third shot past
the hole and got a bogey 5.

Outdoors In Texas
TPA—Take a small Gulf Coast
fishing village rich in historical
lore, boasting miles and miles of
attractive beaches, the magic lure
of the open sea, and an abundance
of year-round sunshine, combine
these with an area population fired
with unbounded enthusiasm—and
what do you have?
You have BRAZOSPORT, Texas,
U. S. A.—an industrial vacation
playland on the Texas coast.
Brazosport is no single town. It
is an area composed of Freeport,
Lake Jackson, Clute, Lake Bar
bara and Richwood, plus residential
areas of Jones Creek, Oyster Creek,
Surfside Gulf Park and historic
Quintana, which are drawn togeth
er by a giant industrial complex
and many luring attractions pro
vided by nature.
It also is a dream! In fact it
is many individual dreams fostered
by enthusiasm and the push of sev
eral gifted individuals and inter
woven into one giant dream de
signed to improve, build and create
a large, more attractive area. But
here in the Brazosport area a
dream is coming true!
Brazosport did not develop into
what it is today without hard work
and the vision of individuals com
bined with the enthusiasm and be
lief of an area people. They knew
what they had to offer both indus
try and pleasure-seeking visitors.
Stephen F. Austin landed h i s
first Texas colonists at Quintana
in 1822. Since that date people
have converged on the area to set
tle and enjoy vacation visits.
Commerce became a vital artery
in the life-blood of Brazosport in
1824 when Mexico recognized Quin
tana as the Port of Entry. Since
then boats have plied the mighty
Brazos River, the Intracoastal Ca
nal and the open sea, joining in
land Texas to the ports of the
world. Over the years industry lo
cated there to take advantage of
the natural transportation facility.
Today, the new, modern facilities
of Brazos Harbor accommodate the
largest ships afloat.
Brazoria County is rich in Texas
history. Texas’ first capitol was
built in West Columbia in 1836. In
the same year, Gen. Santa Anna
signed the Treaties of Peace with
the Republic of Texas at Velasco,
four years after the famous “Bat
tle of Velasco.”
Today Brazosport is a bustling,
dynamic area comprising industry,
shipping and the varied attractions
of the Gulf. It provides excellent
river, bay and deep sea fishing,
swimming, boating, skiing and
beach campouts.
Industrial giants include the
Texas Division of the Dow Chemi
cal Company, whose two plants em
ploy some 5,500 persons; Phillips
Petroleum Company’s Sweeny re
finery; E. J. Lavino & Company;
and Nalco Chemical Company. In
1960 these giants were joined by
the U. S. Office of the Saline Wa
ter’s first demonstration plant to
produce fresh water from sea
water.
Deep sea fishing off Brazosport
is indeed as “fabulous” as described
by the Chamber of Commerce.
It knows no “season.” Party
boat fishing fleets — provided by
such concerns as Raymond Mucho-
wich’s Party Boats, Inc., and Cros
by’s Party Boats—operate the
year-round. Deep sea catches of
red snapper, the taking of King
Mackerel in the bays, and the thrill
of landing the Brazos River’s flash,
ing tarpon have spread the fame
of the area around the globe.
Coastal housing developments
are providing more interest in the
area “living quarters.” Bridge
Harbor Marina, a new $1,000,000
development, furnishes the utmost
in marine service and luxurious
channelside homes!
South of Freeport is Bryan
Beach Development offering sea
homes on an intricate canal and
lake system which has been de
scribed by Texas Parade magazine
as “An American Venice.”
Far to the north of Freeport, at
San Luis pass, the Treasure Island
Development Corporation has open,
ed a vast area of homes and beach
to sea-lovers.
If all of this is the present, what
is left for the future?
More development is the answer
—thanks to an enlightened and en
thusiastic public.
Soon to be started—within the
next two years—will be a mam
moth steel bridge spanning San
Luis Pass. It will join Galveston
County and Brazoria County.
Galveston County will erect the
huge structure as a toll bridge.
