Offer New Plan
For Arranging
Football Lists
Convention to Decide on
Games and Dates Would
Solve Perplexing Problem
Bv Ray Mccarthy

Within the last several days we have
run across more than a score Of foot
ball coaches and graduate managers,
most of whom are making this city
their headquarters preparatory to ar
ranging schedules for next fall. Moth
ing startling in that, you say. No, but
if you were to come in contact with
each and every ona of them, as we
have. you would see the complexity,
also the humor, of the situation. 1t is
one grand criss-cross. with everybody
trailing each other in a merry-go-
round
If we could mention names, we could
explain the situation much more clear
ly, but it goes something like this:
College is holding UP College B
until it hears from College <. Mean
time College can arrange a game
with College D, which it would like
to do if it can't make arrangements
with A. But D prefers B to A. and is
waiting for an answer from B, which
it can't get until B hears from A, and
A won't answer Z until it hears from
D-and all the while the last named is
greatly perplexed as to which way 70
! turn.
How to Solve Problem
Of course, all this means little in
our young life, but we think we see q
way out of this yearly muddling-and
that is to have college football clear
ing house, or rather an annual sched-
ule convention The officials for the
various leading games in the East arc
annually selected at a meeting Of
coaches and captains, and the who'll,
| job is finished to everybody's satisfac-
tion in one evening. This means of
picking officials saves time, energy and
considerable confusion.
Games could and should be arranged
the same way. All of the coaches and
managers could convene here on ar
evening in December. Dates could be
protfered and exchanged in one grand
round robin. All colleges, of course
:, have their regular fixtures, which
would be settled on before the meeting
opened. At the meeting they coult
then negotiate for their s,her contests
Suppose Dartmouth had an open date
in October and wanted to meet SYRIA
cuse. The Orange, having q contest
for that date, could imme ediate!y notify
the Hanover authorities to that effect
wkereupon Dartmouth could offer the
date to Pittsburgh or any other team
they wished to play. 1t would be q
case of 81 have this to offer, who can
accommodate me-" without awaiting the

me that you would again disturb the
