SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
BOOSTING MINOR SPORTS

Grid Coaches Meeting.
Gridiron mentors from representa-,

for the second annual convention
Of the Association Of Southern Foot
Ball Coaches.
It's membership uncOnfined to the
Southern Conference proper, the asso-
ciation's meeting was expected to
draw heavily from s. I. A. A. col
leges and from institutions which
seek membership in one of the two
intercollegiate athletic organizations.
The association was formed at Ath.

who always attended sessions OF the
Southern Conference decided the
coaches might as we'll have their own
organization and thus create an op.
portunity for the exchange of ideas.
The bylaws provide that the associa-
ton shall meet on the eve Of the
Southern Conference convention and
that it shall work with the latter
body In promoting harmonious rela-
tionships between colleges of the
South.

drawn up and adopted tentatively

wound up their gridiron
~ careers and will be missing
from squads when practice is
begun next September Not a school

strange to say, nearly every school
Is going to he hard hit by loss Of
star backs. Georgetown and North
Carolina state are about the only
institutions that will not suffer con-
siderably by graduation Of mighty
good backs.
Virginia perhaps will be harder hit
than any other university. 1t loses
eight of what it considered to be its
regular eleven. The two tackles and
the quarterback are all that are due
to return. That means that Cuddy
and Laird, the best backs at Virginia,
have appeared in their last contest
in an Orange and Blue uniform.
Washington and Lee will lose two
brilliant performers in Rauber and
Palmer, the former a fine line
plunger and the latter one of the best
runners in a broken field in the
South. North Carolina faces the loss
Of Mcpherson. the fastest back in
the South and probably the fastest
in the country. while Maryland will
be compelled to do without Mike
Stevens, who played brilliant foot
ball In every game in which he took
part.
Catholic University is not going to
have Manfreda again and V. P. l.
loses Moss, who alternated at full
back and in the line and did good
job at both places.

Virginia and V. P. I. also lose some
good linemen and so does Georgetown.

Oldtimers still get great thrill
out of recounting the deeds of such
stars as TruXton Hare, "Biffy"

other great linemen-g guards or

Hare not only cleared the path for
him. but pulled the RUNNER along
with him.
The physics of the play are
worth noting. Hare wore n handle

back of his pants. waist high.

back who carried the ball seized

of line bucking are shown. Quite

possible exception of another one or
two, have done that, and, consequent

Another change made in the award

OFTEN have been asked whether

II OFTEN have been asked whether
liked foot ball when | pla yed 1t.
Ny answer is emphaticaEy yes.
i OF course, il was hard work--ln
one way harder work than it Is
today. And I am free to confess the
present game is more fun to play. But
there IS certain thrill and eXhlara
tion one gets out of foot ball that /
believe is TO be had in no other game.
Foot ball is distinctly team game
one of self -effa acement for the com
mon good, Of willing subOrdinatiOn
of selfish motive and individual ambi-
ton to the cause OF the team. TO
like foot ball a boy must like his
associates on the team and like his
college. lie must get as much salts
faction in making an opening for
teammate to carry the ball as if he
were carrying it himself. There is
only one real way to play foot ball
and enjoy it and that is to play on
team that gets eleven men in every
play.
When any team goes down the field,
as 1t surely will. with every man work
ing his hardest and giving everything
he has in him, I know the individual
members are compensated for the
DAYS Of hard work behind them The
grandstand player and the fellow who
plays only for himself cannot really
like foot ball, because he does not
know what the game is COR what it
means.
Played Only Two Positions.
In the years l played at school and
at Princeton l never played any place
but quarterback and end rush, and
in neither of these positions was l
able TO carry the bah. In my day
the quarterback could not run with
It and we seldom gave the ends the
ball at Princeton when was playing.
] always liked offensive play much
better than defensive. So, long before
realized the Importance Of team
play. I taught myself how to inter
fere. thinking in that way l would
compensate myself for my failure to
take the ball. l found 1t lot Of fun
to help some other fellow make a
gain. 1t is not difficult to learn how
to interfere. Any one can do 1t. All
It takes is determination. The inter-
ferer does not have to sidestep or
dodge or even bother about carrying
the ball. Some might Say that the
interferer. or the man who cleans the
line for the back with the ball, acts
automatically. Perhaps he does to
some extent, but he is helping a
teammate gain ground and usually
there is little or no credit given the
interferer by the spectators or outside
public.
For the last few years we have
heard q great deal about Grange and
other great running backs. AS a mat
