Practically nothing was done In the
way of changing the foot ball rules for
next fall The committee. despite con
siderable argument allowed the code IN
vogue last season to stand almost in its
entirety for another years trial There
was much sentiment against the forward
pass. but there was an even stronger
sent ment that the present successiui
conditions under which the game IS
being played ought not to be changed
The one big change which the majority
seem to think is taking great step IN
the advancement of the ethics of col
legiate competition will probably De OF
no value as it is not likely to be adhered
to. The change referred to is that which
will prohibit the head coach from walk
ing up and down the side lines. The
chances are that the coaches of the con-
tending teams. being anxious TO Watcn
as closely as possible the play OF their
serve the restriction. Whiie only one
man was supposed to walk up and
down the side lines in the games last
fall, there We're few in which three olo
not avail themselves of the opportunity.
And then, all this talk about the profes-
sional coach continuously signaling to
his quarterback from the side lines now
to run off the plays is greatly exaggerat-
ed. 1t is practically impossible Tor
quarterback to do anything OF his own
volition and try to be on the watch for
signals from his coach on the sfdeilnes..
One thing a coAeh tries to develop IN
his men is initiative, and that would be
entirely DESTROYED If the game were run
from the sidelines. as many suppose. =
lot of that agitation comes from persons
who know little of foot ball. and the rule
was probably passed as result OF their
work. The only way In which the RUE
will work against team. If put through,
is that it will prevent a coach from
watching the more technical play when
his team is in far corner of the held
which will work somewhat against the
value of what he may have to say be-
tween halves.
1t was rather peculiar that the basket
ball game between Virginia and Wash
ington and Lee should end in tie Satur-
day night 1t is reported that there was
some dispute as to whether or not one OF
the teams was not ahead by one point,
but it was finally agreed that each had
a score of So. 1t certainly seems, though,
that the floor could have been cleared ana
the game carried on as the rules proVlde
in an extra tive-minute period. 1t Wouio
appear casually that the crowd Woulo
have been blad to get back to the gallery
in order to watch the termination OF SUCH
an interesting and important contest.
The Maryland Aggies basket ball team
will play no more games this season. the
team being disbanded after the contest
last Saturday. The Farmers have been
going along all season in an effort to
carry out their agreements with the other
colleges, and they will be compelled to
cancel only three contests. These games
are scheduled to be played at College
Park, but the Farmers will have no place
in which to play until next year
