RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Football this fall should satisfy everybody, even the losing team. Advocates of two-platoon foot ball got what they wanted. Advo cates of two-way football got enough to force the coach to in struct a player both on offense and defense. Whereas in 1964, two-platoon football depended entirely on whether the clock was stopped, this year it will be when the ball changes hands. The fact that the ball changed hands last year did not stop the clock, so a team couldn’t shift to its defensive team on the first down after the ball changed possession unless it took a time out and it only had four per half without penalty. Actually, the time when a coach wants to change platoons the most is when his team has ex hausted its offensive plays and must go on defense. (Making change of possession the point on which platooning is based instead of when the clock has stopped gives the coach this privilege. Last year there was a wild card rule that allowed two play ers to be substituted on any down. So there was no question of hav ing to take time out to get in the kicker when a team was ready to surrender its offense. This rule has been continued. The only way the two-way ad vocates have scored is that when a team has to kick it can’t change to the defensive platoon. Rather it must play the fourth down with its offensive team in there, thus only at this stage of a game will and blockers become tacklers tacklers become blockers. However, this one little rule will force the coaches to teach their boys to play both ways. But there never will be the question of the quarterback hav ing to play defense, something a coach would look upon with horror, because he would be run ning the risk of having the heart of his offense hurt. The two wild cards on any down will take care of this situation. Two-platton was legislated out in 1952. The difference in two- platoon football then and under the new rule this year is that a full team could be substituted at any time then although if it came on any down except when the ball changed hands there had to be a timeout. But in those days a team had five legal timeouts per half and they didn’t need to change teams many times in cases where it would cost them time outs. There were four changes in the rules this year with free substi tution the major switch. The tee for place kicking has been raised from one inch to two inches. On a kickoff this year, if the ball goes out of bounds after being touched by both teams there will be no penalty and the ball will be downed where it went out. Last year there would have been a penalty of five yards and the kickoff brought back for an other try. This year, even if the kicking team touches the ball there will be no penalty so long as the defensive team has touched it, whether first or last. WHY START THE COLLEGE MASTER NOW?
