big Three" Contests
By Ray Mccarthy

Football coaches, players and man
ayers Of most of the large Eastern uni
versity teams gathered at the Biltmore
Hotel Yesterday afternoon and evening
TO select officials from the Central
Board list for the various gridiron
games next fall An informal meeting
was held in the afternoon, at which
rules and other matter were discussed
and, most important of all, the active
list of officials was cut to 400 names
Hitherto some 500 names have appeared
on the active list, but yesterday 800
were regulated to so-called reserve.
In the evening the actual work Of
selecting the men who will work in the
big contests next season got started
and occupied most of the evening
got first choice, with Dartmouth, SYRIA
cuse, Penn, Penn State, Brown and the
others falling in behind.
Captain Tim Callahan was present
to represent Yale; Bill Roper came
over from Princeton; Hugo Bezdek, of
Penn State; Gilmour Dobie, of Cor
nell; Coach Folwell, of the Navy;
Buck O'Neill, Of Columbia; Chick Nee
han, of Syracuse; J. Heisman, of Penn,
and Captain Hopper, Of the Red and
Blue. and many others were on hand
to discuss the season and its pros
poets.
There were few conflicts IN the selec-
lions and, on the whole, the officials
were nominated in rapid succession.
Only one or two bitches served to slow
up the process, so that by midnight the
list was virtually completed.
Syracuse and Colgate representatives
we're somewhat put out in losing j. A.
Evans, Of Williams, for their annual
tussle. Evans has been refereeing this
game for the last seventeen years. but
next fall Dartmouth and Brown have
the call on his services. The repre-
sentatives thought that their teams on
last falls showing should have been
rated ahead of the New England col
leges, and that they should have had
first crack at Evans's services.
However, they simply promoted Carl
Reed from the umpire to referee. Both
Colgate and Syracuse are we'll satisfied
with the New Brunswick mans work.
