He was n strong factor in building up our athletic policy and through his personal character eXerted a splen- did influence in developing a spirit of sound sportsmanship among young men here and elsewhere. Yale had planned 10 erect a memorial 10 Walter Camp, but was more than gratilied when other institutions manifested a desire 10 participate in a tribute in his memory.

 Tho Yale athletic fields arc located on the outskirts of New Haven about q mile distant from Yalc uni vorsity. They occupy an cncrvatcd plateau with Derby avenue biscctinG the fields about their center. The character of the terrain lends itself readily to the type Of memorial de- cided upon.

OFFICIALS FACE TASK
 DECIDING DASH RECORD
Roland Lockc's Feat of Breaking Worlds Mark May Not Be
 Sustained as Official

Chicago, April 26 R-Roland Locke. University cf Nebraska bril- liant sprinter, has given track meet officials more than split seconds to worry about.
 The problem he created by cover ing 100 yards of muddy track in tho Drake relays at Des Moines Saturday in :0o 5-lo, new worlds time for the dash, in the latest of n series Of involved circulations which Locke has occasioncd
 Just now he has prominent track flgures wondering whether the Des Moincs time should be disregarded because of the wind at tho Ne braskan's back while he ran the 100 or whether 10 believe that an advan- tagc from the wind was fully offset by the slow condition of the track.
 Last year Locke twice tied the 100 yard record time, but each time with tho wind at his back. Two other times last season he equalled Charlie Paddock's record time of 20 S-l0 for the @20, and again the Zephyrs trailed his down the cinders. Just how fast Locke is has not yet been clearly determined
 While officials ponder over his latest performance, the Nebraskan has announced he will come 10 the National Collegiate A. A. games here June l2 in search Of q calm day and & quiet claim on the worlds 100 yard record.

CHANGES URGED IN
 FOOTBALL RULES
Committee Of Professors Con- demns Sport as Now Conducted

Cambridge, Mass, April 26 LP--- Drastic changes in the present sys- tenn of intercollegiate football arc urged in the current bulletin of tho American Association of University Professors. Tho game as 1t is now conducted is condemned as conduc- two to drinking, gambling and dis honesty, and tending to distort values and obscure tho real purposes of n college education.
 This condemnation is contained in a report of committee headed by Professor Ernest W. Wilkins of the University of Chicago. The commit tee recommends that representatives from colleges in various parts of the country form Il committee to con slder remedies for the situation with view to adopting a general plan which may be put In operation be- fore the opening of the football sea- son next fall.
 Adoption of either the Wesleyan barley or the Fauycr plan is adyo- cated by the professors committee. Tho barley plan provides that each college schedule only four games q season with opponents in it's own class and vicinity. while the Fauvcr plan suggested by Dr. Edward Tau yer of Wesleyan, would limit parti- cipation of students in intercollegi- ate football 10 one year.
 In support of the latter plan the committee says that many disad- vantages spring primarily from the focusing of undergraduate and pub lie attention on the game and on in- dlvldual players, particularly in their second and third years of perform ancc, and that restriction of tho period Of performance would tend 10 counteract present ovcr-cmrhasis on the game,
 The responsibilityfor the cduca- tional welfare of our college students" the report declares, Ties primarily with our faculties which have therefore the righc and the duty to determine under what condi- tions any college activity should be carried on. Faculty action should therefore be taken in the matter"

6O,OOO ACCIDENTS
 IN THREE YEARS
Few Due to Defects in Highways,
 State Dept. Reports

Hartford, April 26 Defective highways cause fewer accidents each year in Connecticut, it is shown by 2 study of state motor vehicle de- partment records. sixth thousand motor vehicle accidents occurred in his state in three years and 400, or i@iightly moro than ono-haIf per cent lure attributed to highway defects. Forty-nine such accidents were re- ported for the past year, 9G for 1924 and 255 for 1923. The 1923 total was l.54 per cent, of all inc motor vehicle accidents reported that year; the 1924 total .4f per cent of that years whole number of accidents and and the ratio in 1895 was .22 per cent. Against an annual aver age of tG miles in the improved
 highways of tho state, there is an average incrcaso of 36,499 motor vehicles on the Connecticut high ways.
 Accidents due 10 road obstruc- tions are also on the decline. ac- cording to this survey, One hun drcd accidents in 1924 were set down as having been caused by ohstruc- tions in the road. and last year there were 73 such accidents reported. Weather conditions, on the other hand were blamed for 154 accidents last year, as against 6G in the pre- vious year and therr was q slight in crease in the number of accidents chalkcd up against the mistake of overlooking.
 By this systematic. scientific an- alysis of motor ychicl" accidents, the state department succeeds in putting it's finger on the several spc- cfic causes of automobile accidents in Connecticut, and, having done this, it cnlists the cooperation Of the appropriate agencies to reduce or eliminate the hazard arising from these different causes. The records show progress in nearly all these specialized efforts 10 attack the automobile accident problem at the roots.
