Georgia Dean Advocates Fall Sport in Debate With
Prof. Wilkins of Chicago at New York Meeting
of Collegiate Athletic Association.

nature. It was the consensus of
opinion that all coaches, in order to
protect themselves and their schools.
should maintain high standards and
should in every case possible become
regular members of faculties and thus
stabilize their positions.
It was brought out by a report of
the stabilizing committee. Of which
Stage of Chicago is chairman, that
the average life of foot ball coaches
n 100 universities since the war has
been Just about two and one-fffth
years, an amazing mortality which

Dther teaching profession. Stages
report also excoriated alumni and
others who demand a coach's scalp
when he does not win the desired
lumber Of games.
Several addresses were made at the
meeting Of coaches, which dwelt al
most entirely on the important part
coaches play in the life of each in
stitution and the wonderful oppor-
tunities they have for doing construc-
tive work. A good deal was said in
these addresses about the ethics of
coaching. craftsmanship and 50 on.
The question Of possible changes in
the rules was discussed in open meet
ing and late in the day in closed
meeting. It was the general opinion
hat the rules as they stand are about
right, with the exception that some
hing should be done about the shift
play.
Two Against Change.
After considerable arguing, in which
Cavanaugh Of Fordman and Jones of
Army defended the shift and almost
everybody else opposed it, a resolu-
ton was adopted putting the associa-
ton on record to the foot ball rules
committee as favoring insertion In the
rule governing the shift a statement
that after O shift every man be re-
quired to be motionless two seconds
before the play could be started.
After long arguments pro and con
this was modified to the extent that
1t was not to be considered as effect
ing the rule relative to man in mo-
ton when the ball is snapped; that
is. a man In motion toward his own
goal.
Three prominent coaches were not
present at the meetings because of
illness. Gilmour Dobie, president of
the association, was detained at the
bedside OF Mrs. Dobie because OF a
serious operation; Bob Zuppke could
not be present because of a death in
his family, and Fats Spears of Min.
nesota was absent on account Of a
serious operation WHICH he himself
has suffered. Resolutions of sympathy
in all three cases We're passed by the
association.
Fun at Banquet.
The night session, or banquet, Of
the association developed a lot of
fun, also several very good. serious
talks, by far the best Of which was
by Prof. Charles Kennedy of Prince
ton. Prof. Kennedy's talk dealt en-
tirely with the serious side Of college
athletics, from student and alumni
and faculty viewpoints; brought out
some excellent thought, and was in
reality a fine exposition Of college
athletics, and especially foot ball. and
the place they hold in college life.

VI and no more Cheat" shift
/ ing are indicated for intercol-
legiate foot ball next year.
Over the vigorous protest of Maj.
Frank Cavanaugh, newly appointed
coach at Fordham University. who
asserted that the action would ''mur-
der" the modern game, 200 members
of the American Foot Ball Coaches
Association have voted to recommend
a two-second hesitation on all shift
plays to the rules committee.
An amendment added at the sug-
gestion of Coach Bill Roper of Prince
ton would retain the present practice
of allowing one backfield player to be
in motion when the play is started.
1t was the opinion of the experts
that no stop-watches will be needed
to enforce the hesitation" rule,
which conforms to sentiment in the
Western Conference. The plan Is
for officials to toll off the seconds
mentally during the period between
the shift and the swapping OF the ball.
Sponsoring the crusade against
scouting, Roper said that the Yale.
Princeton agreement of last season
worked so well that the Tigers next
year probably would not scout any of
their opponents. He voiced the con-
viction that a better team could be
1SNciOpcO WlItIUut ne
men could be taught to think for
themselves, he contended.
Roper Likes Huddle.
Reports of the coaches also indi.
-ated general dissatisfaction with the
huddle, the advantages of which will
be greatly curtailed by curbing of
the shift. Roper commended, however,
that the huddle has proved welcome
addition in the East. He criticized
attempts of some teams to use too
many plays.
Overemphasis, the preoominating
topic of foot ball discussion last Win
ter. was almost forgotten until the
coaches filed into the banquet hall to
hear Prof. Charles W. Kennedy of
Princeton and Parke Davis, authority
and writer on foot hall, announce that
mo such thing existed"
