a contr act to coach basket bali and
base ball Morris is exceptionally well
thought of at Clemson. according to
the sentiment expressed in the college
paper. The Tiger the students paper
is out with a news story about the
basket ball season and the beginning
of base ball. 1t seems that the b. sket
ball team has gone through the best
season in years, and to Country Morris,
the former Maryland State star, is
given the credit for the rine showing.
'fo~ris has been 7oa "hin the
and Is now coaching base ball. Here
is what the paper says about MOTIFS
work with the basket ball team:
What about that basket ball team,
and who was the man behind the gun?
Mr. ". G. Morris. our hard-working
and efficient coach. of course. Dld
with q bunch of youngsters as Coun-
try did for US? No never. Without
doubt, he is the best coach IN the
We'll, to get down to business
country came to US this season as as
sistant foot bali coach. and as he
,cceeded so well n that branch Of
ports ne was later elected coach OF
Nasket ball and base ball He devei-
Hped. what is in our minds, the best
cam in the state even though New
n erry and Carolina did best US on their
/ Home doors. Certainly il was the
/ trongest team ever put out by Glenn
! son.
Carolina won from US on the Column
I : a court by decisive score, due very
| rohably to the fact that our boys had
'aved a hard game the night before
d also that Caro1inas floor is about
n acre large Newberry was Just

, can be with US again next year"
And here is what the same Clemson
raper says about Country" in regard to
his connection with the base ball team
Base ball practice has heen on for
the past week. but has been severely
hs mpered by the bad weather. The pros
nects are the BRIGHTEST that we have
had in many a year. To begin with.
We have behind our team one of the best
Goa ches in the south Coach Norris
had wide exrerience and has fuily
--oyed his ability For three years he
--ns in the Virginia League his team
inning the pennant one wear and COM
inc in as close serond the two ot"e
wears He has already won the reSnect
md confidence Of all by his excel
rent work with our foot ha and basket
hall teams thi~ wear nuttine ont with
out a doubt the fastest scrannieSt and
hest coached Quintet that has been seen
upon a court In the state this year.
The changes in the foot hall rules for
next fall while altering the game not IN
th. least. will benefit the ethics Of TIE
sport considerably In two "a es will
changes prevent the taking of unfair tao
tics so called The advantage Of sending
in information by a SUBJ rti'ute with in
structions at a critical stage has bA@n
nullified considerably by rule prov d ng
that substitute cannot sneak with an
other player after entering the conteet
until after the ball Is PIT in rlay. The
other change Ia in the ne atty for tnten-
tiona,lv booking a man about II receive
a forward pass Heretofore tho 'fen"ive
man has taken chance on gNt'i-g & a PEN
alty called for Illegal interference rather
than run the risk of having a man catch
a forward pass and run twenty-five or
thirty wards Now a rule is in the code to
the effect that such Illegal inter sere7ce is
punished by giving the man the ball at
the spot where the foul occurred whether
or not he catches the pass.
