One may imagine that the Foot Ball
Coaches Association is going to wax
strong in a constructive way-along
lines of idealism in sport, and in the
general conduct of the game, morally
and scientifically.
1t was noteworthy gathering of
coaches who sat around the table
at the first annual banquet of the
association. The significance of the
assemblage chiefly related to the very
fact of this foregathering of the coun-
try's greatest gridiron mentors. The
statement is made with full knowl-
edge that much that was said was ex-
tremely worth while The writer could
hardly say less than this since he
was honored by selection as one of
the speakers.
Developers of Men.
What stood out most prominently
was the implication of future in
f1uence which this dinner and the
preceding convention gave. Here were
mer from the north, the east and the
south and west. ostensibly coaches
and yet. over and above that. young
men and men with gray hairs and
years of experience who are devoted
to the task-of what? Developing foot
ball players and team play. yes; but
higher than that-developing men.
1t Is great work in which these
IeacnefS OF SrlQlrOn tactlcS ana mold
ers of character on the field of play are
doing and this organization which has
now come into being is going to give
definite character to the calling of it's
members. to endow it with a real and
impressive dignity.
There were all sorts of gossip going
on and a great deal of fact was un-
leashed. Mike Donohue of Auburn, it
was said. will go to Louisiana State on
a ten-year contract. DR.. Wilce said that
If Wisconsin was considering him for
head coach he had heard nothing about
! it.
Maj. Charles Daily. who has retired

academy as member of the faculty

mental influence of the cadets if he

it also was asserted that Col koehler

proposal to extend the southern limit
for the game beyond Philadelphia, not
so much as regards location as that
it would be impossible to move the

Philadelphia in case the Navy decided
to stage the contest in Baltimore or
Washington.

Many Suggestions o. KID.

Other suggestions approved were:
The practice of holding conferences
before each scrimmage and delaying
the game unduly should be stopped
and the rules so amended that these
delays shall bring penalties of five
yards.
The rules committee should. clarity
the rights of the receiver of a punt
AID caution officials to keep a closer
watch on roughinG and interfering
with the receiver
The rules committee and central
board should not have the power to
change officials after these have been
approved and accepted by the COL
leEeS concerned.
The old rule governing a bounding
ball after a kick and the contact with
this ball by a man offside should be
returned instead of the new rule,
which is too harsh.
The word motion should be sub
Stituted for momentum" in rule 2.
which has to do with shifts
The rules committee should incor-
rorate in the rule book series of
plates showing typical positions of
officials in open and close formations.
The rules committee should appoint
an official interpreter of the rules. to
whom all questions could be sub
mitted and whose decisions would be
official and final.
The rules committee should go over
the rule governing the onside kick.
which lacks balance and entails too
many hazards.

4 National Problem.

NHE MAY ISSUE of Sunset magazine in discuss.
L ing the road problem says: -The state of New
Jersey is building a highway costing 100000 a
mile. In many other states the paving alone with
out the cost of right of way or grading, now runs
from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile. Total highway ex.
penses of all kinds last year exceeded $3.50, OOO,O 900
and the bill the public has to pay grows every
year. We need more hard surface roads, we are
willing to pay for them-provided they last until
the bonds have been paid off. Do they last? If
not, what is destroying them prematurely? Pretty
soon, at the present rate of increase, the road bill
will come right next to the income tax bill. Now
is the time to see whether We are getting our
moneys worth?
The article in Sunset gives facts and figures to
show that by 1926 the road tax bill of the United
States will equal $40 per capita or approximately
$50 a year per family. We have already wasted
hundreds of millions of dollars but out of it we
have gained some experience. We have learned,
in the west that a rigid base pavement will disin-
tegrate mad shatter under heavy traffic unless
covered with n flexible wearing surface.
The taxpayer from now on wants, first. a harf
surface road that will outlive the bond issue which
built it; next, he wants n minimum of maintenance
cost on this road; then, he wants a type of road
that will fill these requirements at the lowest
first cost.
Here is the opportunity for our road. builders
and engineers to show what they can do.
