Football Coaches
Association Will
Discuss Pro Today

New York, Dec. II (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-There are two types
of professional in foetball--the in
structor and the rerformer-and the
one does not go hand in hand with
the other.
Tomorrow the American Football
Coaches Association meets here and
undoubtedly one of the most inter-
esting discussions will center about
the other side of professionalism. For
professionalism in football has been
attacked this year as never before
and the instructors cannot very we'll
pass over the issue.
The new onslaught of college foot
ball Is born of the rush OF stars into
professionalism, especially for service
in Florida this winter without COM
pIeting their college courses. Exam
Piles are Red Grange of Illinois and
Ernie Nevers Of Stanford, both all
American selections OF many experts.
But the coaches also have come in
for criticism and already there have
been suggestions that professional
instructors be eliminated or else be
compelled to sit in the grandstand
away from the play.
This is a serious situation for the
mentors and proposals for rule
changes are likely to receive scant
consideration in tomorrow's meeting.
A year ago the forward pass. at
tackled in some quarters. received the
communication of the association. It
was agreed that the pass had made
football better game. For the most
part the changes made a year ago
appear to have worked to general
satisfaction.

to determine footballs place In edu-
cation will be conducted by the Ma
