country where such system Of
choosing officials is followed, but 1t
Is very satisfactory as far as Yale,
Pennsylvania. Harvard. Princeton,
heca use they usually get their pick of
the officials. -* -#
The system is not SO satisfactory
for Georgetown nor for other schools
around this section, because they
have to take what is left after the
others haves had their choice.
In the Western Conference ALI of
ficials are appointed from a central
Office by Commissioner of Athletics
John Griffith, and the schools have
othing to do with the appointments.
AS far az the officials are concerned
for Western Conference games. the
universities in that organization have
no more trouble. as they leave that
az a task for Grifiith and ask no
questions. In the Southern Confer
ence the officials are picked through
mutual agreement, and practically all
games in the South already are set
tied as far as their officials are con-
cerned. Very little difficulty is ex-
perienced In Southern Conference ear
cles over officials, but for some ~
son Southern schools are not anxious
for central boardmen.
Something Of the excellent feeling
between Southern teams in their
athletic contests may be realized from
the expressed opinions Of officials who
have handled games in the North and
games In the South. One Northern
official recently said
Handling athletic contests in the
South is an entirely different propo-
sition from handling them in the
North. There Is an entirely different
atmosphere and also a different feel
ing between the teams. Below the
Mason.Dixon line the players seem to
feel that they are good personal
friends engaged in a friendly tilt and
that usually is the case because in
many Of the games players on oppos-
ing squads enjoy close personal rela-
tionships. In the North an athletic
contest between two colleges is car
ried in much the spirit Of we've got
something to do, let's do it in a
businesslike way and get 1t over
with" while down South an athletic
contest is more of an occasion wort h
while from a social point of view, in
which there is a lot of personal inter.
est between the contending teams.

them up North"
In the Soutl, there Is. one man who
generally IL conceded to have better
knowledge of the rules than any other
official. He Is '.Maggy" Magoffin, for
rner Michigan man who graduated
from Central High and who is IA ma
tive Washingtonian Magoftin is held
in exceptionally high regard by
coaches over the entire South. He
handles foot ball game as il he
knows what he is doing and when he
applies the rules he seldom is wrong
Az might he judged from the forego-
ing. Ma CONN Is in great demand and
every Fall engages in the biggest
games from Maryland to the Gulf.
And In speaking Of officials. it might
he mentioned that no man who has
gone into Officiating has won for him
self so much recognition for real
ability In so short a time as has Bill
Quigley. No greater compliment can
he paid to Quigley and his officia ating
than to say that despite the fact he
has officiated only two years, he can
not begin to meet the requests that
are made for his services. Quigley is
a former Pennsylva MIA player and for
three years coached George Washing
ton University. Quigley, like Magoffin,
is a man of exceptional personality.
One remarkable fact tbout all good
foot ball officials is that they are not
afraid to admit they have made a mis-
take. Usually a competent man is
confident enough of himself that he
does not think a mistake will hurt
him. II frankly admitted. Last Fall in
one game between a big Northern
school and Southern school the
referee walked up to the coach of the
Southern eleven Immediately after the
game and said: Didn't / make a fool
of myself on that first play? II the
umpire had not been on the job /
would have made a complete mess
of it,
An official Of that caliber need never
worry about his ability nor over lack
OF opportunities to officiate. because
always he will he in demand.

stopped when his legs were moving
