Will Add to Interest.

With the 1927 game, on some grid
irons at least, shorn of its scouting
feature and under supervision of the
dictator. this years brand of foot ball
promises to present a markedly alter
ed aspect. The transformation will
be heightened by new rules, which.
among other things, move the goal
posts 10 yards back of the playing
field, curb the shift and encourage
the lateral and backward pass.
Some proposals designed to curb
alleged overemphasis of the game
have been rejected, however. The
Dartmouth College Athletic Council
declined to accept all suggestions Of
fered by the institutions president
Ernest NJ. Hopkins, which included
substitution of undergraduate coaches
for paid mentors: limitation of play
to sophomores and juniors, and devel-
opment of two major teams at each
college to play reciprocal "home-and-
home" games.
The council suggested, however.
that Eastern colleges meet to discuss
alternative suggestions, including
abolition of Spring practice, scouting
and artificial stimulation" Of under

BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, May 17-In connec-
ton with the agreement Yale has sue
ceeded in making with her foot ball
rivals for 1927, relative to non-scout-
ing, il is interesting to note that
Princeton tried without success to
make a similar agreement with Ohio
State.
When William Roper, the Princeton
coach, submitted his request to the
Ohio State authorities, the inclination
at Columbus was to receive it sym
pathetically. In fact, the Buckeyes
considered the matter with a lot of
sympathy, but in the end they called
in Roper for a personal conference.
The Princeton coach met DR.. Wilce,
coach Of Ohio State, who set forth the
fact that such an agreement was hard
ly fair TO Ohio State, in view of the
fact that Roper had attended one of
Ohio's big games at the stadium in
Columbus last year, whereas no quail
fed Buckeye observer had seen
Princeton in an important game since
1920. DIR. Wilce pointed out that even
II Princeton did not scout Ohio State
this year, Roper would have an ad.
vantage because of having watched
the Ohio-Michigan .game-and this
was an advantage that Ohio State did
nos possess. Roper saw the point and
the matter ended there.
Harvard Is Reluctant.
As to Yale's campaign in this re-
Epect, it would have failed if Harvard
had had the final word, for the Grim.
son was very reluetant to receive the
suggestion on non-scouting But since
all the other opponents of Yale agreed
TO the plan, Harvard had no other
alternative, although she did make
clear that the agreement was only for
ore season.
If the non.scouting policy works
among all colleges that have agreed
% it as well as ii worked between
Yale and Princeton last year, the
chances are that it will become es-
tablished. III such a case, If Harvard
refuses 10 continue the agreement, a
situation may arise which may lead TO
unpleasantry.

make much of scouting when under

ward replied with a proposal that Yale

than prohibitory agreements" and

Yale's move against scouting imme-
diately followed the initiative taken
by Tad Jones in obtaining agreement
of an Eastern Big Ten" on appoint

to select officials for the more impor-
tant games. This was designed TO re-

smacks of professionalism.
The game is proposed for December

this game they will be selling their
birthright for a mess of pottage'
The Conference is opposed 10 post
season games. with the exception of
such nationally approved games as the
Rose festival IN Pasadena or other
games in which teams compete as
unit. Other all-star exhibitions. though
they be played for charity. smack of
professional projects, usually backed
by some promoter whose idea of
charity may end at home as we'll as
begin there. If approval is given this
game it is safe to say the idea will be
exploited by a great number of pro-
moters each year. The playing of
college men for promoters who have
no connection with any university is
hardly in line with the ideals of col
lece athletics
II see no harm in PLAYERS joining
professional ranks. hut I think the
line should he as clearly drawn be-
tween professional games and college
