4.i.sJilege Football Ban Wins Favor In East Many colleges in the East are favorably inclined toward elimina tion of Spring ' practice and the platoon system from present-day football, according to Dr. Carl P. Schott, dean of the School •of Phy sical Education and Athletics at the College. Early replies to the Penn State proposal that they be eliminated as "injurious to the general health of college athletics" portend a sympathetic reception for both suggestions when they come before the Eastern College Athletic con ference for' consideration later this summer, Schott said. Mid-Year Report The Athletic Advisory board, a 13-man body representing stu dent, faculty, alumni and trustee opinion, suggested the elimina tion of both in a mid-year report which decried the over-emphasis fostered by Spring practice and expressed the fear that the pla toon sistem would be financially ruinous to college football unless something were done about it immediately. Copies of the report were for warded to the 91 members of the Eastern College Athletic confer ence and their replies indicate a desire to cooperate with Penn State in its endeavor to bring both problems to the attention of football authorities in the East and the nation 25 Replies Schott said of the first 25 re plies received, none was hostile and practically all were agreed that Spring practice should. be eliminated and that some effort be made to encourage a restora tion of the limited substitution rule. Nearly all said that present day football was 'exacting too high a price, financially and scholastically." The Dean said he had received many letters from former players and others interested in college athletics who praised Penn State for its espousal of this cause and expressed the hope that the Col lege would not relent in its en deavor to have both eliminated from the athletic scene.
