asked his opinion on the question Of
rule changes, said:
"A careful observation Of football in

however, would actually affect the play.

beyond, so there would still be field

Abuse of Side Line Coach
ing Needs Atto1tion OF
the Rule Makers.
SUGGESTIONS AS A
CURE FOR THE ENl.
Three Ways by Which the Send
ing of Messages to the Quar-
terback Could Be Checked.
BY EDWARD X. BUSHNELL,

When the football rules committee
meets at the Biltmore Hotel in this
city on Friday and Saturday few
changes. if any, will be made in the
code, judging by many expressions OF
opinion from those qualified TO speak.
IL is certain, however, that pressure
will be brought to bear 20 bring about
one important reform. This has TO do
with the abuse of side-line coaching.
IL is felt that an end must be put 70
the practice of sending in substitutes
more 10 carry instructions from the
coach TO the quarterback or captain
than 20 relieve exhausted or injured
players. The rules of the game ex-
pressly prohibit side-line coaching, yet
in Gil the big games Of the 1914 season
coaches sent in procession OF substI-
tutes, many Of them for no other rea-
son than TO carry messages.
The writer has made close study
of the evil Of side-line coaching and
was one Of the first to suggest that
coaches be compelled to remain on the
bench, or of the field entirely. during
a game. That suggestion WAS incor-
porated in the rules q year ago and
worked out fairly well last season. But
fhe rules committee, dlttf ClOnlHH one
door to the violators of this rule, oblig-
ingly left wide open another which
made side-line coaching quite as ef-
fective.
Some coaches adopted the simple eI-
pedient OF sending in substitutes for
no other reason than TO carry i1struc-
tions 70 the field general. This was
done in several Of the big games and
the officials were powerless 10 stop IL.

shrubs, and vines bearing fruit rel

Birds are desirable about premises

and song, but because of the economic
value. There is, therefore, q double
purpose in Offering them special
nesting facilities. II mud is available.
swallows, robins, and phoebes will find

attraction for summer birds is more
effectual than a series Of houses
suited to the needs and habits of the
various kinds Of house birds.
A few years ago only four species
were commonly regarded as house
blrdS-the house Wren, the biuebird,
the tree swallow, and the martin.
Since the movement to protect birds
and make neiehbors of them began,
however, their natures and needs
have become better understood, and

and more extended provisions of this
nature cannot fail to result i'll d

birds.
The habit of nesting in bird houses
has been adopted by Individuals Of
many species which would not ordi-
narily be expected to makeu Sc OF
such homes, and this may be taken
as indicating that it will become more
general from year to year as faculties
are afforded and as the number OF
birds Matched in houses increases.
That western Wrens and bluebirds
should take as naturally TO artificla-
shelters as did their eastern relatives
was to be expected. On the Other
hand, the use Of houses by birds
which until recently had persistentlS
ignored them is surprising and mus
be considered a victory for those Wht
have StudiOusly attempted to enlarge
their circle of feathered neighbors.
