BACK ID NORMAL
 CRY IN FOOTBALL
No Reform Wave to Hit Game
 After Season Is Finished

New York. Oct. 3l Football iSnt likely 10 feel the wear and tear Of another reform wave" this fail or after the season is over.
 There are. as previously. some scattered murmurs about commer- cialism; some protest against so- called ''Win-at -any-cost" policies here and there but the hue and cry isn't expected 10 be pronounced. If anything the popular trend not to mention the opinion Of those who handl" tn" game. seems 10 be on a back To normalcy" scale.
 Now-scouting pacts, for instance. were formed 10 a fairly wide extent in the east after last season and hailed as big step toward retaining m" amateur spirit Of the game. But ih"sc agreements are being regard ed, in the cold light of experience. with considerably less enthusiasm than before. The feeling seems to be that the information about rival teams, formerly gained by open and above-hoard methods, now is ayaila- hle anyway
 Many coaches and critics who en- dorsra tentatively al least. the non scouting principle q year ago are satisfied now 1t is not worth while.
 Thcr" were any number of pana- rrHs for so-Called over emphasis in th" colleg" gridiron sport a year ago. They incud"d dual sched- ules.' student coaching abolishmcnt Of training camps and reduction Of schedules So far there isn't much talk Of rcvivinG them.
