180:. Wartime needs for military manpower depleted football rosters as players joined military units. Free substitution β apparently intended to help lesser players by allowing longer rest breaks β was implemented in a rule change made April 7, 1943, "for the duration" of the war effort. This was paired with a one-year rule change made in August reducing the size of wartime NFL rosters from 33 players to 28, in an effort to reduce the impact of travel to and from games.

Team size increased to provide for the increased demand for starting manpower, and the costs of scholarships and travel increased accordingly β putting financial strain on smaller institutions as they attempted to keep

This is to say that, once removed for a substitute, a player was lost to his team for the duration of the quarter. Illegal return of a player to the field was regarded as a severe infraction of the rules, with the returning player ejected from the game and his team assessed a massive 25-yard penalty.
113:
Before 1941, virtually all football players saw action on "both sides of the ball," alternating in both offensive and defensive roles. Prior to 1932, a player removed during the first half could not return to the field until the second half, while a player removed in the second half was lost for the

Starting with the 1953 season, the NCAA emplaced a set of new rules requiring the use of a one-platoon system, primarily for financial reasons. One source indicated that only one player was allowed to be substituted between plays; however, according to the NCAA, the actual rule allowed a player to

In 1946, with the war over, roster size was expanded to the pre-war 33-man limit. At the same time, there was a desire to balance the one-platoon tradition with the trend towards mass substitutions, so a rule was adopted limiting player substitutions to no more than three men at a time. The roster

Although Michigan lost the game 28β7, Crisler's use of eight players who played only on offense, eight who played only on defense, and three that played both ways, impressed Blaik enough for him to adopt it for his own team.

One-platoon football is seen currently mostly on lower-end and smaller teams at the high school and semi-pro levels, where player shortages and talent disparities necessitate it. Current teams with sufficient numbers of talented players no longer use the one-platoon system.
194:, but once again this was paired with a reduction rather than an increase in roster size, this time from 35 down to 32. Unlimited free substitution was adopted on a permanent basis on January 23, 1950, with rosters gradually growing from 32 to 36 players ahead of the

Although this rule change had the practical effect of allowing alternating mass substitutions of entire squads for offense and defense, such a substitution strategy was not immediately put to use. The first known use of the "two-platoon" system was by

whereby the same players were expected to stay on the field for the entire game, playing both offense and defense as required. Players removed for a substitute were lost to their teams for the duration of the half (until 1932) or quarter (until 1941).

For the 1964 season, the NCAA repealed the rules enforcing its use and allowed an unlimited number of player substitutions. This allowed, starting with the 1964 season, teams to form separate offensive and defensive units as well as

A major change in the governing rules of the sport was made ahead of the 1941 college football season. Instead of removed players being lost for the quarter, a new unlimited substitution rule was implemented, providing simply,
