Or the condemnation of the Fighting Irish when they pulled the so-called "sucker shift to draw opponents offside? It wasnt long ago the Navy coach was castigated for a player feigning an injury and limping to the sideline to work the old "sleeper play for a touchdown.

The public normally becomes indignant when such borderline tactics are used to give a team an Unfair advantage. BUT THE CURRENT substitution ruling seems made for "gray market exploitation of the rules. In the first game of the major college season, UCLA deliberately took penalties to stop the clock and substitute its platoons in violation of the spirit of the 1964 rule. Coach Bill Barnes of the Bruins said after the game, "I dont like planned stalling tactics to make nnit substitutions, but under the new collegiate rnles yonve got to do it. John McKay, coach of the USC Trojans, adds, "Were going to do the same thing.

And I dont see where it violates the code of ethics. The spirit of the game is winning. Were just going to stay in the huddle, were not even going to the line of scrimmage. That will bring a delay of game penalty on the Trojans, but it will enable McKay to get his platoons into the game. COACHES ALREADY have figured a way to beat the rule against the stopping of the dock by the quarterback deliberately throwing the ball out of bounds.

At the meeting with officials this WAC coach raised the point, "I wont have my quarterback throw out of bounds, Ill have him raise up and throw a look-in pass at the feet of the end. Whats wrong with that? The officials admitted they couldnt penalize a quarterback from throwing quickly and poorly. It Does Violate the Spirit We disagree with Coach McKays logic, that deliberately drawing a penalty to stop the clock doesnt violate the code of ethics. We think it does, since it allows unlimited substitution and the rules makers havent approved unlimited subs. College and university coaches, in the majority, favor the return of platoon footbaU.

The rules makers have battled the surge for years and each year, the rules have made concessions to the coaches. But the rules makers are afraid to allow the game to go back of unlimited ubs and platoon football. THERE MAY BE two reasons: 1. The professionals allow unlimited subs and platoon football and the colleges hate to admit the pro game has any, features superior to the college game. THE EXPENSE of platoons poses a problem.

The rules makers realize that platoon football caused 97 colleges to drop football because of the soaring expenses. But with- the modified sub ruling 13 of these colleges or universities resumed football. Rich Get Richer, At the time platoon football was in vogue, coaches argued it gave more kids a chance to play, that boys who hadnt the physical capabilities to play both offense or defense, could get to play as specialists. And this supposedly was to help the smaller schools, which didnt have the manpower to recruit complete physical specimens to play both offense and defense. Of course, this was a fallacy.

It merely proved the rich got richer and the poor became poorer. Under the present rules, each coach hopes to have his players at least three-deep at every position. BUT, IF unlimited platoons come back, then coaches wifi want them three-deep qn the offense and three-deep on the defense, or perhaps almost twice as many players. With the grant-in-aid of room, board, tuition and sometimes books and spending money, increasing the number of players poses a tremendous financial load on the athletic budget. Then, with players designed strictly offensive or defensive, more coaches are needed, and thats a financial drain.

Some coaches refuse to recognize this, so we get two coaches of major universities openly advocating subterfuge to beat the rules. It isnt right Rules are made to be obeyed, not circum-, vented. AND THE PRESIDENTS of the universities may have to speak to football coaches who preach sportsmanship and teach chicanery.

Sept. 19-Oregon Universitys touted football team one that figured to Berry BYU had to fight from 13-13 deadlock in the fourth quarter to defeat Brigham Young University, 20-13, here Saturday afternoon. AND IN THE end it was their own errors that hurt the young Cougars as much as the throwing of Oregons heralded quarterback Bob Berry. Still, Berry passed for all three of his teams touchdowns and was a threat every time he handled the ball. OREGON LED at halftime, 13-7, but the Cougars came back to tie it at 13-13 in the third quarter and in the first period the 15,000 fans in Hayward Stadium pleaded for the Ducks to move.

They did, going 45 yards in Jour plays for the winning touchdown- with Berry passing 35 yards to end Ray Palm for the score. BUT THE Cougars were far from out of the game until they gave the ball to Oregon on a fumble with 1 :30 left and the ball on Oregon's 37. The Cougars, making their debut under new head coach Tom' STATISTICS Oregon BYU First downs 15 12 Rushing yardage 119 119 Passing yardage 141 151 Passes 11-26 7-17 Passes inter cepted by 1 2 Punts 6-39 6-43 Fumbles lost 0 4 Yards penalized 34 52 Hudspeth, had hoped to keep the score "respectable. They did much more. They won the respect of the highly favored Ducks and the crowd who came out to watch BYU play Oregon for the first time in history.

And by scoring twice, this BYU team did something no other BYU team had been able to do in Oregon score. The Cougars lost to Oregon State twice in this valley, losing 35-0 in 1961 and 33-0 in 1955. But this is a "new look at BYU and this was evident early. The BYU offensive unit, whip-lashed by sophomore quarterback Virgil Carter, sophomore brothers Steve and John Ogden and junior transfer Henry Na-wahine, moved against the bigger, more experienced Ducks time after time. But the Cougars are young and young teams make mistakes and mistakes hurt.

And this was the case here Saturday. BYU lost four fumbles to the Ducks, several of these stopping drives that seemed to have the momentum on BYUs side. ON THE offensive side, ends Bruce Smith, Dick Wood, center Glenn Shea, guards Barry Cortchnoy, Bill Mitton, tackles Jim Knoblauch, Bill Wanosik all were strong and capable. But in this game maybe the most impressive unit was the Cougar defensive team. This unit had to be impressive to hold the Ducks close and they did.

Dennis Palmer, Dennis Brew ster, Mel Olson, Grant Wilson, Mike Jacobsen, Monte Jones, Gordon Jennings, Kent Nance, Allan Robinson, Kent Oborn, Phil Brady and Dick Wood kept Oregon from moving on the ground and only three bombs by Berry took anything away from OLSON, IN particular, was simply unstoppable. The big sophomore from Afton, was in the Oregon backfield on almost every play. And Carter, playing in his first college game, almost stole the day from Berry. The skinny kid from Provo threw fewer passes, completed fewer, but outgained Berry, 151-yards to 141. And he threw two touchdown passes.

Carters second touchdown pass in the third quarter was a nine yard shot to Smith. It came near the end of the third quarter and tied the score at 13-13 when kicker Don Schroe-der missed the try for point. IN THE DRIVE that produced See Page B-12, Column 3 By John Mooney Tribune Sports Editor Utahs defense, as tenacious and cruel as a rat terrier harassing its victim, broke the spirit of the New Mexico Lobos and enabled the Redskins to pull away to a 16-0 football victory in the WAC opener Saturday night WITH A GOOD crowd of partisans in the Ute Stadium, the Redskins took advantage of the perfect football weather and STATISTICS Utah 22 216 185 12-18 3 1-21 1 60 N. Mex 7 114 5 MO I 6-36 1 59 First Downs Rushing Yardage Passing Yardaga Passes Passes Intercepted by Punts Fumbles Lost Yards Penalized completely outplayed the two-time conference champions in the grid opener for both squads. Utah scored on Roy Jeffersons field goaljn the first quarter, on Allen Jacobs plunge in the third quarter and then on Pokey Allens sweep with five minutes left in the game.

IT WAS THE second straight impressive victory for the Utes over New Mexico which has yet to beat the Redskins in WAC football play. So completely did Utah bottle up the ground-hugging Lobos, that New Mexico totaled only 119 yards offensively for the night Utah banged out 401 yards. New Mexico never had a serious threat until the final 13 seconds of the game when Woody Dame intercepted a Bill Woody pass on the Lobo six and streaked to the Utah 10 before two Utes dragged him down to preserve the shutout. IT WAS UTAHS ball game all the way and it seemed inappropriate that a fluke touchdown run in the dosing seconds would give the Lobos anything to cheer. Utah's defense held the Lobos to only seven first downs for the night and the Utes were able to run off 78 offensive plays.

New Mexico had only 42 offensive shots. UTAH NOW has a tie and two victories against the Lobos in the last three years and New Mexico has scored only two touchdowns in those three games. But lest the Utes celebrate too much, New Mexico went on to win the conference championship in the last two years. Now the Utes must be considered a definite title threat with the scalp of the defending champions hanging on their belts. RUGGED defensive play and costly penalties thwarted the rival offensive in the first half and Jefferson's field goal was the margin of difference at the intermission.

Until the closing 'minutes of the half, the Redskins were clearly the superior ball club, offensively and defensively but the three-point margin on the board left a lot to be desired. Jeffersons kick, a 21-yarder, drew the first blood for the Utes on their second march on the Lobo goal. Allens 49-yard run to the New Mexico 31 put the Lobos in tjis sock early in the quarter. While the drive finally petered out on the seven the Lobos were under pressure and could not get away without giving up points. A SHORT quick kick by New Mexico put the Utes right back in business as the ball went out on the New Mexico 35-yard line.

Coleman picked up 14 yards in two tries to the Lobo 21 and a 15-yard personal foul penalty put the Utes on the New Mexico nine. But after three plunges the Utes had gained only three yards and Jefferson lifted the ball from the tee cleanly on the 11 and it carried over for the score. SO COMPLETELY were the Lobos bottled that-they crossed midfield only once in the first quarter and on that play Bob Hammond fumbled. Utahs C. D.

Lowry recovered to stop New See Page B-U, Column 1 Ute Pitching Poor, But Nets Shutout For about 45 minutes it looked like Utah was going to win one of the poorest pitched shutouts of the season Saturday night. THE REDSKINS, even though completing 12 of 18 passes had had three intercepted and the offense had sloughed around rather hopelessly in the face of the New Mexico defense. Eventually, the Utes held their shutout with three pitchers colla-' borating and two Ute defenders racing almost the length of the field to make the final out. SO IMPRESSIVE was Utah defensively though that New Mexico forced the Utes to kick only once in the ball game. But the Redskins probably showed how to beat New Mexico by getting out in front early and then forcing the Lobos to come out of their much beloved ball control stall.

About 100 Lobo rooters formed a long aisle from the dressing room onto the field to inspire the New Mexicans. However It didnt do much good. POKEY ALLEN, who beat New Mexico with his option pass runs last year, turned in the best run of the night, a 41 yarder the first time he kept the ball. Another Ute, Roy Jefferson, had some personal revenge. It was his field goal in the first quarter that put the Utes out in front to stay Saturday, but it was the rushed field goal that he didnt make two years ago that enabled the Lobos to tie the Utes, 7-7.
