PROPOSE PLAN
FOR SETTLING
TIED GAMES
Strict Adherence to Amateur
Rules Demanded By the
Coaches.

New York. Dec. @7.-The American
football coaches association at its sec
ond annual meeting to-day went on
record as strongly opposed to gam
bling In connection with college ioos'
ball. or commercializatton or their
amateur fame BY college 2ridiron
stars who participate III professional
games after being graduated.
Resolutions embodying this att
tude. framed along lines If the stand
taken by the western or Big Ten
Conference" were adopted by MOI
than 100 gridiron coaches and athletic
directors representing about forty
c~olegeS and universities in all parts
OF the country.
The association which closed its
sessions tonight at a dinner address
ed by a number Of prominent tootoall
authorities a'So adopted a code gov
eruinS fair play. GOOD sportsmanShlp
and coaching ethics as recommended
by a committee. headed by AlonZo
Stagg. veteran Chicago gridiron mea'
tor. Chief among the features OF this
code were demands Of strict adher'
ence to amateur rules. enforcement OF
rules prohibiting side line coaching
and discourasing all commerclalizlng
influences in the game.
To Settle Tied Games.
Intensive discussion OF the rules d.
yeloped no outstanding recommends
lions but special interest was mani
tested in two proposals advanced 10
provide q means for settling games In
which the teams are tied at the end
OF the regular playing period. No Tor
NAL action, however. was taken on
either.
One suggestion, however. put for
ward by John W. Heismau. OF Penn
~sylvania, provided that in event OF a
tie contest each team be given the
ball for three plays. tho eleven gain
ing the most ground to be awarded IN
extra point and thereby the victory.
The other scheme, proposed oS
Frank O'Neill, former Columbia coach
and endorsed by r. c. Zuppke, OF llt.
nois, among others provided fo'
award OF a deciding point to the team
which registered the most first downs
during the game.
Some opposition MAS voiced to any
change OF this sort. but it appeared tc
be the concensus that tied games were
unsatisfactory to both players anc
spectators.

MAY SEEK AMENDMENT

sorry note was given in return. That
note has now to be converted into bonds
with n defaite maturity date and a fixed
rate OF interest. Otto kahn's proposal
that the interest for a few years be
deferred altogether, or that the rate be
made very low at the start and gradual
~ increased. meets with a good deal
OF favor here.
Little Progress Made.
While very little progress has been
mad in the negotiations with the French
government on the debt question. the
feeling prevails that tho agreement
made ilh the British will stand as n
sort OF precedent and example. and that
when once England and the United
States have arranged their debt diff
Cultics satisfactorily. the negotiations
with tho other governments Will be
simpliiicd.
Incidentally. there is already 4 good
deal Of discussion here rs 10 what shall
he done with the five billion dollars OF
bonds to be given To the United States
government by the British. There are
those who advocate n ~rctunGing cam
pl;En whereby these bonds are sold to
tho public at large by the American
government, thus turning into the treas
ury five billions az dollars with which
to redeem %uuc Of the Liberty loan
bonds which now carry a higher inter-
est rate than the British bonds would
carry when offered 10 the public. ON
such an operation tho American govern
mcll might save u; good deal of money,
but the opponents If the Plan point out
that the British uundS wouldn't be pur-
chased generally unless they were guar

eminent. in which case they would
amount to the same thing as issuing Il
new series Of government bonds at a
lowor rate Of interest. something which
Is practically being done by the treas
ury certificate plan, anyhow.
Less Risk to Public.
Most Of the members Of the American
funding commission favor Keeping the
British bonds IN the American treasury
and turning tho interest INTO the gen
rral fund rs an offset To the interest
payments which the American govern
ment makes regularly on Liberty bonds.
They think this will Involve less risk
