FOOT BALL GREATEST

NEW YORK, December : (P).--

been paid in the neighhorhood of

which he ever appeared that the re-
wards of foot bah are spiritual rather

ed stations as a part of the Near East

terially aided the Chicago Bears in
their 19-to-7 victory over the New
York Giants.
To his radio audience he said:
Foot ball, I am convinced. is the
hest game that was ever invented.
1t demands more than any other
game from the player. It's rewards
are spiritual rather than material.
but they are certain. The monetary
reward is secondary.
The big thing 1 have won from
foot ball is not this present fortunate
break. which has enabled me to earn
certain monetary rewards, but rather
the more permanent matter of a
training in courage, stamina and abil-
ity to use mind and muscle more
effectively"
He also included in his address a
diet and schedule-excluding tobacco
and liquor-for aspiring athletes:
called Bob Zuppke the greatest foot
ball coach that ever lived" " and said
that his own training as an ice man
had been of his own choice and a

NEW YORK, December Foot

remarks by Edward X. Hall, chair
man of the intercollegiate foot ball
rules committee, at the first banquet
of players selected for all-American
honors.
II say, with all the earnestncss that

dinner to an all-American team that
will ever be held in America" he said.
He argued against overemphasis of
the importance of individual players
by the selection of all teams and
the making OF heroes Of those who
happened TO fall into fumbles ana
run 65 yards for touchdownS.
The banquet was given by the New
York Sun by players selected on its
all-American team. Red Grange was
present and Hall made a few remaI ks
about professional foot ball.
1T is none of my business Hall
said. "if any college player consid

Then the speaker denounced as a

AIMS TO SAFEGUARD
ALL COLLEGE SPORTS

BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS. Ga, December Foot
ball is not the only branch of college
athletics that will lie protected against
the professionalism as far as the
Southern Conference is concerned.
Having adopted resolutions to pre-
serve the amateur status of gridiron
heroes, the conference at its final seS-
sion also set plans in motion to pro-
vide similar safeguards for partici-
pants in base ball, wrestling and
boxing.
syru new bylaws will make ineligible
any college base ball player who has
signed a contract with a professional
team or who has played on a team
recognized by the national associa-
ton.
1t was the sense of the conference
that every candidate for base ball
teams should be subjected to the
closest scrutiny and that none should
be permitted TO play who had not
established their amateur status be-
yond the slightest doubt.
Boxing and wrestling are rapidly
becoming more popular in the various
educational institutions of the coun-
try, speakers declared. and new set
of rules was ordered to govern these
branches of athletics.
President S. V. Sanford appointed
the following Committee to prepare
stringent regulations for these two
branches of sport.
Forest Fletcher, Washington and
Lee; -. T.. Brown, Virginia; r. l..

MINNEAPOLIS, December T.
Possibility that the Western Confer
ence schedules of several teams may
be revised so that Minnesota and
Michigan and Northwestern and In
diana will not have to play two games
in 1926, as arranged at Chicago. was
voiced by Fred w. Luehring, athletic
director at the University of Min
nesota
Luehring disclosed that after the
schedule meeting at Chicago had dis
banded a conference was held be-
tween DIR. Clarence w. Spears, head
coach at Minnesota; Glenn Thistle
Coach Bill Ingram of Indiana and
Luehring, to discuss the matter.
Ways and means to prevent the
four teams from engaging in the
double headers was taken up. Accord
ing to Luehring, Northwestern holds
the key to the situation and Kenneth
l.. Wilson, athletic director at the lat
ter school, and Coach Thistlethwaite
promised to consider Minnesota's sug-
gestion.
If the readjustment takes place,
Luehring said, the Minnesota game
with Notre Dame. now set for Oc-
tOber %, would take place October 3;
Notre Dame would play Northwestern
October %; Minnesota would take on
Indiana October 1G; the single Indiana
Northwestern game would take place
at Bloomington October 80 and Mich
igan would be enabled to take on the
Purple at Ann Arbor October 16.

The committee was composed of
r. r. Brooks. president of the Wes-
leyan University College body, chair
man; Edward Duffy, editor of the
Dartmouth; w. l.. Nichols, editor of
the Harvard Crimson; Robert r.
Thurber of the Princetonian and H.
L. Houghton Of Bowdoin.
The committee also recommended
that graduate coaching systems be
instituted. that no coach be paid Il
salary beyond that of a professor and
that coaches be not allowed to sit on
he players bench during the game,
but that captains alone direct their
teams so that undergraduates would
be playing erssraduates and not
coaches playing coaches"
The committees report. citing its
reason for recommending only four
games each season, leach game with
n team in it's own class and in it's
own vicinity" said:
schedules of only four games
would render impossible the present
annual elimination contests among
the teams of the country, and conSe-
quently would render impossible the
choice of mythical national and even
sectional champions. Many teams
would remain undefeated instead of a
few.
with this aspect removed less pub
licity would be given the game by
the press, and the public imagination
would not he Whetted 50 that the
fever of interest would he forced up
within undergra duate bodies.
The necessity for Spring and early
season training would be done away
with, since the four games would be
played on successive week ends be-
ginning late in October. Practice, as
at present, could start two or three
weeks before the first game
The creScendo of interest, at pres
ent extending over eight games,
would be limited to four games. and
50 the large percentage of attention
Given foot ball now would be lessened
by the cutting down of the length of
he season.
Colleges playing teams only In
their own class and vicinity would
minimize the commercial aspect of
schedule making. and no small COL
lege teams would be called upon to
sacrifice themselves in order to make
money for their institutions as at
present This altruistic motive given
Tor these set-up games, the making
OF money to support other sports. is
in no sense a defense for foot ball.
Appropriate taxes on undergraduate
would serve instead, if such a step
were necessary"
