FOOTBALL COACHES
MEET HERE TO-DAY
Mentors in American AssOcia-
ton will Discuss Rules and
Observance of Them.

With the annual meeting Of the
American Football Coaches Association
at the Astor to-day series OF con-
ferences Of great intersst to followers
of the gridlron sport will be started.
The congress of coaches will bring to-
gether men from all sections OF the
country and will bring out suggestions
for changes in the rules as well as per-
tinent comment concerning the ethics OF
the game and the men who officiate.
The officials yesterday issued a call
for a meeting in this city on January g.
at which the American Football Officials
Association will be organized. The pur-
post of this body will be twofold-to
reach a clear understanding of the rules
and to create more wholesome re-
spect among certain colleges for the ofh-
clals and their decisions. This second
proposition Is expected to come up at the
meeting to-day and no doubt will be
handled In the annual report of the
football rules committee, which e. X.
Hall of Dartmouth will present at the
annual congress of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association at the Astor
tomorrow.
1t will be reco,lected that Hall created
quite a sensation with his report fast
year, In which he charged that some coll
leges were threatening officials with re-
prisals of various sorts IL they did not
see at to favor the home eleven. This
subject has not been dropped by any
means and the officials are ready to
institute boycott against these col
leges.
Among the topics which the coaches
will discuss to-day is the proposition ad-
vanced by Tad Jones of Yale that all
coaches sit In the stands instead OF on
the players bench. This topic involves
the companion proposition of side line
coaching, which also will be given
thorough airing. 1t Is an open secret
that in spite OF the restrictions in the
rules side line coaching still fiourishes
and in some colleges has reached most
advanced stage.
The coaches also will have quite
debate about the mentor who plays pro-
fessional football. Last year the ad-
visory committee Of coaches. which acts
with the rules committee, passed
resolution calling on the colleges to stop
coaches from playing with the ''pros."
This was approved BY the Coaches As
sociation.
But last fall II was noted that num-
ber of college coaches were playing the
professional game. This proposition will
be attacked with vigor again by the ad-
visory committee, which also will meet
to-day prior to the general confabula-
ton Of the coaches.
