THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA NEW ANGLE ON SCORING IN FOOTBALL NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—(P—Col- lege football is on a point-a-min- ute binge, but leading coaches dis- agreed today on what is respon- sible for the astronomical scoring trend. “It's the platoon system,” chorus- ed one group of mentors, including Ivy Williamson of Wisconsin, Matty Bell of SMU, Jess Neely of Rice and J. V. Sikes of Kansas. “The platoon system has nothing to do with it,” argued others, such as Earl Blaik of Army, Henry Frnka of Tulane and Big Munn of, Michigan State. . | Most of them agreed in an As-| sociated Press survey that the sport has become definitely ‘“oftense minded,” that coaches make no special effort to roll up impressive tallies and that the liberal substi- tution rule plays a big part in keep- ing the scoreboard busy. They traced the assembly line| point-making also to “eager beaver” substitutes who, thrown into a! game to open the gates of mercy, | close the gates instead with a hun- gry effort to make good. “We're getting ten or twelve more plays a game now,"” said Sikes, whose | Kansas team was mauled by Okla- homa Saturday 48-26 JONES LOSES CHANCE AT LIGHTWEIGHT GO SEATTLE, Oct. 19.—(#—Super- jor boxing ability wasn't enough last night and Harold “Baby Face” Jones of Detroit lost a close 10- round decision to John L, is an a possible shot at lightweight mhst Ike Williams.
