ohe Codcn 10 Wnom the matter was
proached replied: 1T certainly would
pc means of accomplishing one
thlng which is especially needed in
this section, which is to bring all the
coaches in personal touch with all
the officials. / think that is very i'm
portant and helps both officials and
coaches when they come together for
the games"
1t is generally thought that meet
ing of this kind will bring about a
closer personal touch among officials
and coaches, will help the high and
prep school men by giving them a
chance to come in contact with and
know something of the problems of
the colleges and universities, and GER
tainly Will give all officials and
coaches much wider knowledge of
the rules and a more exact interpre-
tation of them.
University of Maryland is trying to
arrange d big basket ball game to
be played in Baltimore next winter.
In view of the fact that Johns Hop
kins is not represented in basket
pan; the MaryIanders have no game
in the Monumental City OF the caliber
they desire unless they bring to Bal
timore one of the big Northern
schools. 1t is more than probable
that the contest with Princeton,
scheduled for College Park FebrL ary
L, Will ne IHc baltimore game, pro-
vided suitable place to play can be
arranged for. There is not much
reason for believing that this should
occasion a great deal of trouble.
North Carolina state College is
banking on it's new athletic system,
and especially its new foot ball
coaching policy, giving it victory in
its annual game with University of
North Carolina this year. The Raleigh
sity of North Carolina probably will
have better material this year than
last, it will miss greatly two or three
of the veterans who were lost last
spring. A member of the North Caro-
lima State College athletic board put
it this way:
1--WE know that the university will
have better material generally in foot
ball this Fall than it had last, but
two or three of the men who were
lost by graduation will be greatly
missed and l believe will not be re-
placed by men nearly so good. And
these happen to be the key positions.
Take Mcdonald, for instance. He was
about the best quarterback in the
South, in my opinion, and any team
is bound to suffer when a man as
good as he was drops out. No quar-
terback that Carolina had in its sec
ond string or on its freshman squad
last year gave any indication what
soever that he would be capable TO
fill McDonald's shoes
up at Raleigh we will have a
fine lot Of material. and with the
right kind of coaching we believe we
ought to develop one of our best
teams. 1t is my opinion that any
school that whips us this year will
have to go some to do il. and that
Notwithstanding we have probably
the hardest schedule we have ever
attempted to play"
Incidentally. University of Virginia
is another school which expects to
see it's foot ball star rise this Fall.
The beginning was last year, say the
Virginians, and the results will show
in the next few months. The mate
rial next Fall was not so good as the
material on the freshman squad,
while this year the best men of the
1928 varsity and. in addition. all the
men who did such brilliant work for
the first year eleven are available, is
about the way the Charlottesville le
men sum up the situation.
Talking about freshman foot ball
teams Yale probably had the strong
est in the country last Fall 1t clean
ed up until the last game with Har-
ward and in that contest simply tore
loose. The Yale first-year men beat
Harvard by something like So to 0,
which is some score for a game be-
tween two elevens of that caliber.
But of that Yale freshman eleven
it is said that several will not be
