Numbering Players to
Be Discussed TODAY

NEW YORK, Feb. with the au-
nual meeting OF the intercollegiate foot
ball rules committee here today, the
question of numbering players is to be
revived much to the joy os all VINO

looking through a steady downpOur of
rain wondered dirnly whether n young

the referee.
Park H. Davis has come up from
Princeton firmly determined to again
Introduce a resolution providing for
the compulsory numbering of players
IN college games. Davis was voted down
last year. but believes the demand for
the numbering of players is growing
dailg, and is ready TO try again. Ed
ward K. Hall, chairman of the corn
mittee and representing Dartmouth to-
day declared few radical changes in the
rules appear likely. Coach StaGg, of
Chicago, Is said to have something like
twenty changes he wishes to suggest,
however.

Shugrue shot jab after jab TO the face
and white retallated with left hooks and
short right crosses. one of which cut

times they stood toe to toe In hot mixups,
but invariably the Jersey lad had the

NEW DIRK. Dec. a0--1he New York
Evening Mail publishes today two aft
davits which charge that Plat Adams,
champion amateur athlete and all round
jumper, has pledged and received money
from some OF his prizes won at amateur
meets. Under the rules Of the Amateur
Athletic Union. this, II true, would
change Adams status to that of a pro-
fessional.
The charge against Adams would make
his case somewhat similar to that Of
James Thorpe, who. after he had been
proved TO be a professional. was forced
to return his Olympic prizes. In its
story the Evening Mail calls upon Adams
to produce all the medals and trophies
he has won since his connection with
the New York Athletic club.

In one OF the affidavits r. 1. Glynn
swears that on January ., 1914 Adams
sold him (Glynn) one Of the prizes. gold
ring with small diamond in It. For
this Glynn says he paid IS. During the
fall of 1912 and up to March 1914, Glynn

panied Adams to a downtown jeweler,
where in his presence the jeweler would

re,er Lawrence Schenck In the second

from Adams which Adams said was
first prize. Schenck further states that
Adams had in his (Schencks) place of
business at various times numbers Of
medals and cups which he said he was
going to take TO "a certain jeweler.
Theimer Makes Affidavit.
A third affidavit by Max Thiemer. en-
ploye in The office where Adams is en-
ployed. is to tho effect that Adams told
the signer that he had a case full of
prizes which he wanted to sell and re-
lated some instances where he had dis
posed OF prizes to advantage
At the headquarters of the Amateur
Athletic union II was said that nothing
was known as TO the charges except
what was printed today.
In 1912 Adams and his brother. Ben.

which was sent TO Sweden to compete in
the olympic games. Last years records
show that Adams holds the record for
