Better relations between officials and
foot ball coaches and between the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Association
and the American Foot Ball Coaches
Association Is the goal toward which
Bill Roper. president Of the coaches
organizations, will strive during his
regime, II his statements and actions
at meetings in Philadelphia Friday
night and yesterday bear fruit.
1t was Roper who sponsored the
gathering Of foot ball coaches and
others interested in working out a plan
for appointment of officials for games
and it was he who presided at a meet
ing Of the officers and trustees OF the
coaches association, called to map out
plans for attaining the purposes he has
outlined.
I'VE should all get in with both feet
with the absolute understanding that
all Of us are working toward the same
end, and that only by united and CO.
operative effort can that end be at
tanned. Foot ball officials, foot ball
coaches and faculty members OF the
National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton are interested in the building up
OF foot ball. and so far as can see the
only difficulties that have arisen have
been due more TO misunderstanding
than anything else. II we all get to-
gether and build up a mutual under
standing and sympathy for one an
others problems, believe there will be
very little difficulty in the future in
some of the things that have bothered
us somewhat in past years"
Roper, with several Others Is trying
to work out plan through which Wal
ter Okeson of Lehigh will have ap-
pointive power Of officials for all big
games in the East. A general disposi-
ton Is being worked up to put this
scheme into effect, inasmuch as 1t has
worked well in the Western Conference
Many representatives of universities and
colleges in the East went into the Situ-
alton thoroughly in an attempt to work
out something definite next Fall. No
cloubt the plan will be in effect and
largely operative throughout the East
for the 1928 season.
At the meeting OF the executive board
OF the Coaches Association Roper
stressed the fact that plans should be
laid to effect a cooperative feeling
among all those interested in college
foot ball Plans for the next annual
meeting were discussed with view tc
arranging a program that would go q
| long way toward accomplishing just
this.

dead. Harry w. Berthrong,

TIME last survivor Of Washingtons
famous 1868 base ball team Is
dead. Harry w. Berthrong,
catcher of that epoch making
team, died in Boston on Tues
day, according to word received here
by his brother, l. p. Berthrong. o20T
Thirty-eighth street. Funeral services
were held in Boston Friday, where In
termcnt also was made.
According TO Mike Scanlon, veteran
base ball authority and former owner
and manager OF the Washington Ma
tionals, Bcrthrong was the greatest
catcher In the country and the fastest
base runner IN the annals OF the carry
diamond sport. For years ne held the
base -circling record, having rounded the
diamond In IA 2-5 seconds at Clncn-
natl In 1858.
Berthrong was 81 years old on Janu-
ary / and was native OF Rochester.
N. Y. He served as drum major ot the
l40th New York Volunteers during most
OF the Civil War, enlisting when II
years old Fraternally he was Mason.
He was q past commander OF Post No.
So, @. A. r.. at Arlington, Mass.
Department Clerk Here.
Berthrong was a clerk in the Treasury
Department at the time he played with
the Nationals and later was transferred
to Patterson City, New, where he
worked In the United States Mint.
During the Spanish American War he
was stationed in Cuba, under Gen.
Bliss, and at the close of the war he
was sent to Boston, where he was en-
ployed until 1924 in the customs ONCE
Mike Scanlon. who probably Is the
only living Washingtonian who recalls
the earliest days Of the diamond pastime
here. says the team OF which Bsrtnrong
was q member did more to make the
game the leading national sport than
any other organization
The team made a two-week tour OF
the Midwest In 1868. which was the
first extensive undertaking OF its kind
ever attempted by base ball team
The Nationals lost but one game on
the trip and were generally acclaimed
as the champions of the country. The
interest that was stirred up throughout
the country resulted In the steady
growth of base ball as the national
sport.
Bcrthrong was one of the important
cogs In the pioneer base ball machine
AS catcher he carried the brunt OF the
battle. without glove. mask or shin
guards. he caught every game for sew
eral seasons. Every knuckle on both
of his hands was broken.
Like Berthrong, Billy Williams pitch
cd every game for the famous team.
But 10 players constituted the team.
all OF whom, with the exception II
Berthrong, have been dead for several
years.
Mike Scanlon recalls the lineup as

stop. Jim Eenny. left field; Studley,
center field; Arthur Pue German right
field. and George Fox, utility player.
The Arthur Pue German who played
right field, Is the late Senator from
Maryland. who was president and man
ager of the team. He was page in
the Senate at that time. Scanlon re-
calls. and was later appointed revenue
collector for the NTH Maryland dis
trict by President Andrew johnson.

FOR BETTER RELATIONS
Head Of Coaches Association Wants More Friendly
Feeling Between Tutors and Officials and
Mentors and Collegiate Body d :.
Il has ever been accomplished by any

that has ever been accomplished BY any
coach.
Two foot ball coaches from different
sections of the country have come out
hatfooted with the statement that
Spring practice is Of more value to them
than the practice obtained In the Fall.
Chick Meehan Of New York University
and Andy Gustafson of Virginia Polv-
techniC Institute are the men who feel
this way about it. Both have Just con-
cluded their Spring workouts and both
say they got a good start IN building
their next Falls teams.
Knute ROckne is another coach who
places great store by Spring practice.
So valuable does Rock" consider il
that he in a letter to the writer stated
that he could not afford to leave his
men for even one day to attend a
meeting in Philadelphia.
Says Rockne: II have the greenest
outfit 1 have had in years and the
cnly hope for a good team for Eotre
Dame next Fall is for me to develop
it this Spring. That ! am trying to
Go, and 1 just cannot afford to leave
the squad right now. even for q day"
Coach Alexander Of Georgia Tech is
not very favorably disposed toward the
a.l-star South versus West games. such
as that for which he, McGugin and
Wade took a team to Los Angeles last
Fall. Alex" said. with something OF
disgust in his voice. Il got enough in
that game last December to last me
lifetime. and think the other fel-
lows did too"
No worse conditions for a big track
meet could have been struck than were
encountered during the PENNSYLVANIA
relay games. The track was filled with
water and the whole place was "rained
out" as they say from Maryland on
down South. Time for each event was
slow and any chance that the meet
has of standing out as one of the great
meets Of the year in that respect IS
almost negligible.
Just how slow the track was is shown
by the time in the mile championship
relay. in which Yale won in Just a
little over minutes and 29 seconds
slower time than it has made indoors
Georgetown's Freshman quartet won
first place in the Freshman champion
ship race and Washington and Lees
four was second in 3 minutes 50 sec
