2-Platoon Football
System Is Discussed
From Two Angles
NEW YORK, Dec. 19—'-Tl—There’s
one thing sure about the two plat
oon system in folball—you can stir
up a good argument about it wheth
er you’re for it or against it.
The 'Associated Press posed this
question to sportswriters and sports
casters :
"The platoon system, with its at
tendant increases in the size of play
ing squads and coaching staffs, is
being blamed for many of football's
ills. Do you agree?
Of the 121 replies received In the
year-end poll, 71 said they favored
the system. Some thought it was
good, others were more enthusiastic
and called it a great thing for the
game.
Fifty said they were against two
platoons and their reactions ranged
from a mild protest to a violent
dissent.
Those who were ror the system of
alternating offensive and defensive
teams listed the following regions:
1— It gives more boys a chance
to play.
2— It makes for more exciting
football.
3— This is an era of specialists,
why not in football?
4— xt reduces the number of in
juries in that fresh players are us-j
ed.
The antis listed the following
reasons:
1— The necessity for "deep” squads
furthered recruiting and proselyt
ing.
2— It will force many schools, es
pecially the smaller ones, to give
up the game because of the cost.
3— It is too confusing for the spec
tator.
4— It makes for too many special
ists.
