Nation’s Coaches Will be Asked for Opinion of ND’s New “Sucker Shift” BY WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (AP)—The nation’s 1600 college football coaches will be asked for an opinion on Notre Dame’s controversial “sucker shift.” Columbia’s Lou Little said today. “Let's not call it a 'sucker' shift.'” Little, chairman of the Football Coaches’ Rule committee said. “Let's say we are checking on the rule covering false starts. “This matter has been raised, no doubt by Notre Dame's use of the shift, so I am including it on the questionnaire which I am distributing to all our college coaches. “There's no doubt the subject will be looked into thoroughly and we should come up with a satisfactory answer." Notre Dame used the shift last Saturday at South Bend, Ind., in whipping previously unbeaten Southern California, 9-0. Southern Cal's Coach Jass Hill said he thought it violated the "spirit of the game." Yale's Jordan Olivar and other coaches criticized the maneuver as unethical if not in actual violation of the rules. "It's a trick," said Olivar. "I don't think it belongs in football." Edward Moose Krause, Notre Dame athletic director, defended the shift as perfectly legal and said Knute Rockne invented it in 1013 when he had his team shift from the T to the box. "Since when is trickery wrong?" Krause asked. "How about the reverse and the end-around? They're tricks, too, aren't they?" In the move, Notre Dame's back-field shifts from the balanced T into the box formation with the quarterback behind center shifting over to the blocking back spot and feigning a pass. With the ball on USC's nine-yard line in the second period Saturday, Notre Dame suddenly philied the shift and three Trojans leaped across the line of scrimmage says no player of the offensive team shall make a false start. A false start includes a shift which simulates a play. It draws a five-yard penalty. But whether the Notre Dame shift violates this is something for the rules makers to decide. I know Michigan State shifts from an unbalanced T to a single wing and nothing is said about it. But coaches may want the present rule clarified. Little said there were only two other major rule change proposals up for consideration. One is the substitution rule and the other involves a ball-carrier who slips and falls. "We will decide one of three things about substitutions." Little said. "1. Is our present rule satisfactory? 2. Do we want to liberalize the rule more and go in for unlimited substitution like the pros? 3. Do we want to go back to limited substitution we had several years ago? "On the question of the ball-carrier, we have some coaches who want to let a runner continue if he slips and falls and is not brought down under another team's tackle. Under the present rule, if the runner's knee or hand touches the ground, the ball is dead right there." Zatopek Beats Out Mathias as Top Sportsman LONDON, Dec. 3 (AP)—Emil Zatopek. Czechoslovakia's triple-Olympic champion, beat out America's Bob Mathias today as the world's No. 1 sportsman in a poll sponsored by World Sports, official Olympic association.

EP—Ed Barker, the Washington State college end who took the Pacific coast conference scoring title, actually won it with a spectacular tackle. His chief challenger was George Black, Washington wingman. Late in Saturday's game between the rival Washington schools, Black caught a pass from all-American quarterback Don Heinrich and seemed headed for a sure touchdown. He had broke into the clear and was under full call when Barker angled across the field and overhauled him from behind on the WSC seven after the play had gained 70 yards. Washington went on to score, but it wasn't Black that made the touchdown. Barker finished the season with 44 points, Black with 42.

EP—Emil Zatopek, Czechoslovakia's triple-Olympic champion, beat out America's Bob Mathias today as the world's No.1 sportsman in a poll sponsored by World Sports, official magazine of the British Olympic association. In the unique poll of leading sports authorities, Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill tied for sixth place, edging such notable athletic figures as Rocky Marciano, world heavyweight boxing champion, and Casey Stengel, manager of the champion New York Yankees. Russia's Yoka magazine was asked to participate in the ballot, but the query had to be referred to the USSR's committee on sports and physical culture. The reply never came. Churchill broke into the list of outstanding sportsmen through the scoring system under which five points were given for a first place vote, three for second, two for third and one for fourth. Torsten Tegner, editor of Idrottabladet of Stockholm, named the 78-year-old prime minister first because "He has victoriously fought all dictators, prejudices, fortresses of slowness and dumbness, all parties—and old Father Time! A grand sport;" Zatopek, who won the 5000 and 10,000 meter races and the marathon in last summer's Heliski Olympics for an unprecedented triple, received 63 points compared with 22 for Mathias, the young Tulare, Calif., athlete who won his second Olympic decathlon championship and played fullback for the Stanford university football team. Marjorie Jackson of Australia, Olympic spring-champion and world record holder, was third with 14 points, followed by two tennis players rated the world's best in their divisions—Australia's Frank Sedgman, 13 points, and Maureen Little Mo Connolly, 8. Grid Franchise For Baltimore Has Steep Price Stanford, another big loser pointed to a similar switch in locale of the "big game" against California but also blamed it vising the Michigan game for drop from the estimated 65,000 and the over-all total wasn't fected. The Big Ten, as usual, drew largest crowds in spite of a Grid Franchise For Baltimore Has Steep Price BALTIMORE, Dec. 3. (P)-The National Football league hung a steep price on a franchise for Baltimore today. Bert Bell, league commissioner, offered to restore professional football here if the fans will buy $250,000 worth of season tickets within six weeks. When that's done, Bell said, Baltimore will have a franchise again after a two year lapse and then he'll find an owner for it. "I don't have an owner now," he told a news conference, "but I guarantee you will have one. The reason I don't have one is I'm not going to make an agreement with an owner; who is not going to operate the franchise as a business. 365 days a year." He said he had "two or three" in mind. In effect, Bell said, the situation at the moment is that "Baltimore has a team, players and a franchise if the Baltimore people will buy 15,000 season tickets by Jan. 22." The deadline date coincides with the annual league meeting. The players are those now on the roster of the Dallas Texans, whose franchise didn't last a season. It has been forfeited after being transferred this year to Dallas from the New York Yankees. Baltimore had a franchise three years in the all-American conference and then lasted one year in the National Football league when the two were consolidated in 1950. Baltimore was the 15th member then. It would be the 12th next season.
