FOOTBALLS POPULARITY DUE
TO UNDERLYING PRIMITIVE
INSTINCTS OF ALL MANKIND

glimpses now and again of something In
life they have missed. But others who
witness their first contest at once find
the spirit of the entire play uplifting.
The cobwebs of office and hundrum life
are cleared away and true sport obtains
devoted followers. They vaguely know
that the sway Of those human bodies out
there mean something-that they carry
some message to others to be the best
men possible-that the battle out there
| typifies the strife that is constantly be-
Ing waged In all phases Of endeaYor
throughout the world.
MUCH DEPENDS
ON THE COACH.
Every type of human nature finds an
interest in football. The mathematical
and technical mind finds game Of chess
with living men to be moved about over
held marked out by lines instead of
squares. The coach of a grid team must
be precise, accurate and thorough. I'm
like other games, the coach has q chance
to absolutely plan his plays from each
lineup through his general, the quarter
back. Those who appreciate the sensa-
tional and dislike any thought of method
or system will find the startling, the I'M
expected, and sensational in most any
game they witness. The technique of
football is an all-absorbing study, the
individual brilliance Of the stars is like
the nash Of shining gems from out q pre-
else pattern OF careful workmanship. But
those stones after all had to be cut and
shaped into the perfect pieces of work
they are. So with the football diamond
who is developed into the wonderful
player he is by the painstaking tutelage
Of master of the art of football tech
nique Rugby football as played in
America is one of the most highly deEel-
oped sports in the world.
Is there any wonder that huge crowds
have turned out and will turn out again
next year? With the purest amateur
motives as a background and the most
expert of technical tutors directing the
play there yet remains the chief reason
for Its tremendous popularity-the primi-
tive JOY Of personal conflict, Of a good
light between good men. What has been
said about football is true to a less de-
gree Of. other sports. Basketball will
never be quite as heart clutching be-
cause the element of personal contact is
being eliminated as much as possible
That is not saying that any other method
should be followed on the court. The
more men play the ball in a net game
the better exhibition 1t is. One season
of football in a year is enough. All of
Us like to go back to the stone age in
the fall, but too much of 1t would dull
our appetities. Basketball and baseball
are conflicts enough We can all wait
until next fall for the real struggles
the modern coliseum spectacles of ma
ton that needs a bit of "kick" now
and then even if it does believe in dis
armament.

CHICAGO. Dec. S.-FootbalI, baseball,
track and swimming schedules of every
university In the Big Ten Conference were
to be drafted at 4 meeting here today of
the. athletic authorities of these insti-
tutions. Changes in rules were also dis
cussed.
Two important revisions brought up
were: Lengthening Of the football sea-
son from seven to eight games by an
early start; permitting students to pl2y
still retain their amateur standing.
Football schedules held chief interest. A
stronger schedule for Iowa, the confer
ence champions. was considered POSSIBLE
with games with Ohio State and Wis
cOnsin in prospect Coach Howard Jones
OF the Hawkeyes announced that his
team will play Yale on Oct. II unless
such date would interfere with the
Mconference schedules. Il would not
Ybreak my relations with conference teams
for a dozen Yale games Jones said.
II additional Big Ten games are seized
uled Iowa may drop Notre Dame. Jack
Wilce. Ohio State mentor, seemed favor
able to an Iowa game. There were no
indications that Ohio State would re-
sumo relations with Wisconsin: Dr0Aesn
last year. Wilce said he expected OHIO
state to have q schedule about the same
as this year with probably not so many
At-hOme games. Illinois VIII be the last
game Of the season as usual.
Minnesota, after three bad years, found
IL difficult to place games with sO-called
first division teams:
The Princeton Chicago game will be
played on Oct. 2S, at Stage field, one
week later than this years game.
Illinois and Northwestern, 1t IS under
stood. are negotiating for games in 1872
and 1928 and NOtre Dame may appear on
WiscOnsins schedule next year.
Coach ROckne OF Notre Dame . an
nounced his team would play he Army
on Nov IL and Nebraska at Lincoln on
Thanksgiving day. Rutgers viii be
dropped.
Failure of the East to support the ma
tional intercollegiate track and field meet
held at Stage field this year will result
IN small return from the Midwest in
the Penn relays in the spring.
Indoor swimming and track meets I'M
doubtedIy will be awarded to Northwest
ern again. The date viii be about the
lay carnival win be held at Illinois
shortly afterward.
Coach Jones of Iowa stopped here on
his way home from the East, where he
saw some of the big games, including
the Army-Navy struggle. The Hawkeye
mentor asserted he had talked to prOmi-
nent football men in the section, includ
ing Walter Camp. He said the general
opinion in the East is that the shift
pIay should be retained, despite criticism
of the play by Mai. Charles DAILY OF West
Point and Foster Sanford Of Rutgers.
Jones asserted the Army went so far as
to use the Notre Dame shift against
&the Navy and did well with it
Officials of the Western intercollegiate
Gymnastic, Wrestling and Fencing AssO-
citation yesterday voted to settle wrestling
championships in the future on a per
centI-e basis similar to the methods en-
pIoyed in determining titles IN football
and basketball. Leaders in the various
classes at each institution win then par
tfcipate in the associations final meet.
This tournament viii he staged at Madi-
- 4

Other matches were two of-three
affairs. The winners were Peoples out
fitting. Great Western and Home Furni-
ture squads. After losing the first game
the Great Westerns managed to squeeze
out two wins in the last attempts. Eyecy
match was too close for comfort.
The Home Furniture aggregation won
the first contest by two pins and then
dropped the next. but came strong
enough in the final effort to take the odd
match.
Henry of the National Furniture crew
was the star OF the night with scores Of
1914, 212 and POS. Hickman of the same
outfit with a 200 count was the only
other bowler to reach the double cen
fury class.
The Car Service FIVE in the l.. u. &
w circuit was good enough to grab
team. The Traffics and Engineers were
the odd game winners in the other
matches.
McCelland Of the Traffic five was the
best of the individuals with a mark of
200 in his second game. Other 200 bow
lers were Fisher, 204, and Kirch, POI,
both of the Car Service team, and Cox,
200, Of the General Managers
Ihree- game victories were the rue IN
the Lafayette loop. The Torpedoes and
Tourings we're ON top at the finish with
the Roadsters and Limousines out of
luck.
The Gear Department and Trimmers in
the Nordyke and Marmon League took
straight victories. The Rocker Arms and
Back Hangers were two-Out-of three win
ners. The Rocker Arms posted the high
est single game team score when the
Arms got swinging right for an S44 count
in the second setto.
Rettig of the Tool Makers, after fool
ing along in his first attempts with low
scores, finally pulled himself together for
a mark of 201.
