Oct. 15. 1961 THOUGHTS ON THE BIENNIAL GRID WRANGLE a rP Evas" i Alignment Ste Wiiaii (-or Aq By JIMMY DAVY WHETHER it involves simple shuffling or radical departures, the Nashville Interscholastic League realignment for the next two football seasons already is a topic of Thoughts on Modification Shifting through sidewalk ti-gesitinns which range from doing away with the leamio entirely to division bv the alphabet, we think that there are two proposals which at least stir the imagination.

One ii a modification of the present divisions, cutting them from four to three; the other a proposal to divide the loop goo- hot discussions. AN NIL realignment committee is at work preparing proposed divisions and will present its views for league acceptance at the group's winter meeting. The committee work, as always, is confidential.

graphically into two divisions, Eastern and Western, Without listiiic the team lineup (which appears in the tables at right), the modification suggestion would move up the Wronger members of the present Class AAA to form a larger "top classification" and add new schools, Stratford and Two Rivers, which may ask for loop admittance for next year, to the lower "A' 'classification. THE "GEOGRAPHIC proposal splits the league by using Murfreesboro Road and Clarks-ville Highway. It then puts these teams into separate divisions within these two classes. The Class AA of boUi Eastern and Western Divisions would meet each year, presumably in the Clinic Bowl, for the Nashville title. The Class A also would playoff for a Nashville title.

Fantastic, you say? Well, there would be things like inter-divisional play and a required number of games for championship eligibility to be worked out. But, each of the different plans would make it possible to schedule a season of games inside the loop if it was desirable. Old rivalries could still be maintained, although in some instances they would no longer count in the -standings. We think there is merit to each of the Proposals. But, the biennial problem of re-dividing the growing NIL always produces heated arguments and this year will be no different.

WONDER HOW close the loop committee studying realignment will be to either of these proposals this winter? This Week's Slate THURSDAY C.nodlettiTllle at Central (AA), Cohn at Oupont (AAA). DnneUon at Glencliff (AAA). Wel at Madlion (AAA). MHA at Murfrettboro. HilUbnre at Franklin.

There probably isn't a better running halfback in the league than the Yanks' Danny Hale Hero of MBA's narrow loss to Springfield (7-fi) was Tom Weaver one of the outstanding freshman halfback prospecta In the league He'll make it hard for Injured John Stephens to get his halfback job back. The record doesn't show It, but Conn's football team in the last two weeks has been tremendous Before the season began who would have thought the Knights would have held BGA and Glencliff in check, despite losing to both? Coach Hershel Moore of Olencliff was high In praise of Cohn for Friday night's scare "They have a well-coached team that will hit," Moore said yesterday.

"I'll guarantee we really had to roll up our sleeves to win. And, thanks to (William) Tines we got out with our skin."

The two husky six footers looking like the stone gladiators whose statues adorn the Rome tennis stadium that Benito Mus solini built played so long yesterday afternoon that the doubles match was postponed until today.

Sirola and Pietrangeli have played 28 Davis Cup doubles matches in Europe since 1955 and have won every one. David Freed, the U.S. captain, said he would not decide his doubles team until today just before the start of the match. FRIDAY REED could hardly do anything wrong. Pietrangeli was erratic.

Reed ran off the first two sets, then fell behind 4-3 in the third set when the match was sus pended because of darkness. Yesterday Pietrangeli dropped the first game, enabling Reed to tie the third set at After that Pietrangeli deftly using passing shots and steadily driving to Reed's backhand was never behind except for a brier 2-0 deficit at the start of the fourth set.

"I told everyone I would settle for one-point margin out there (Antioch) and that 7-6 score looked Just as good as I thought it would," he laughed. The victory ran TPS' win streak to nine games and brings the Busters to Friday's gams with North (unbeaten in Class AA) heavy favorites to cop the AA title.

Gaylor had praise for little Bobby Prince, who filled in for the injured Don Bridges at quarterback and threw the winning touchdown pass. Bridges has a shoulder fracture and is lost indefinitely, "Prince did a terrific Job, but it was our all around play in the line that was outstanding," Gaylor emphasized. "Steve Cunningham, Roger Fulton and Jerry Pentecost were especially good. However, it was Just a team victory all the way."
