Lieut.. Marion is no newcomer as q
foot ball coach. Last year he coached
the Coast Guard Destroyer Force foot
ball team, which defeated every service
team in New England and also hung
the marker on several Of the smaller

Navy sent against them. They also
clinched the track and field title for
New England.
Similar TO the Navy. the Coast Guard

with the fact that he has Travelled

arrived in this country, made 1t I'M
perative that he have tune-up race

Doubt as to Third Race.
There appeared to be considerable
doubt whether DR.. Peltzer would be able
to make third American appearance.
| Although the l4-day period stipulated
by German authorities might have been
a cable error in view of the fact that
International Amateur Athletic Fed
Grafton rules provide a 2l-day COMPETE
tive period in similar cases, the seven
extra days still would make 1t impos-
sible for him to enter either the Ma
tional A. A. u indoor championships
here February IS or the K. Of G. meet
! here four days later.
An extension of both the time limit
and the number of his appearances
seemed to be the only solution to the
various problems that have arisen.

ring further complications, DR.
Otto Peltzer will make his
/ American debut in a half mile
race at the Millrose A. A.
games at Madison Square Garden to-
night.
Sanction for the German middle dis
lance stars appearance was granted
by the foreign relations committee of
the Amateur Athletic Union Yesterday
Tentative approval was given at the
same time tor PeltZer to compete in a
1000 yards event at the Illinois A. c.
meet in Chicago. February 10.
DR.. Peltzer's request that he be al
lowed TO enter a l.500-meter race at
the knights of Columbus track and
field carnival here February 20 still
was under consideration today pending
check with German authorities, who
stipulated that their champions three
American appearances must be made
within 14-day period.
PeltZer had planned TO enter a special
S00-meter run in the MillroSe games
but the A. A. u, in granting sanction.
restricted him TO events regularly
listed on meet programs. His Chicago
appearance was approved providing
this stipulation was met
In the light of this ban on special
events. Peltzer is confronted with the
task of making his first start on an
indoor track tonight against a crack
field that includes Phil Edwards. negro
fash of New York University: Pinkey
Sober. Holy Name Club; Bernard Nc
Cafferty of Seton Hall, and others Of
like ability.
Peltzer has said on several occasions
that he was not in condition to face
Americas best at the present time and
that he would like time to get &C.
customed to board track racing before
pitting himself against the cream of
this countrys talent.
There was a possibility that Millrose
officials. realizing PeltZer's position.
would attempt to split the field in the
half mile. making two $685." where one
grew before. If this were done, Ed

might be placed in the one and Petit

Because out-of bounds plays are
set plays. each man playing a direct
part in the result. signals are used.
They should be simple. because a
team can soon learn simple signals
and an opponent will have difficulty
in getting wise TO them. Some
coaches let forward do the tipping
of on such plays Others give the
Job TO a guard on the ground that
forwards are more closely watched.
One team that ranks high has a
guard stroke his hair back with his
right hand for one play. and 10 the
side for another. Two more plays
are tipped of by similar Use OF the
left hand.
Another Conference coach has a
guard tip of his teammates by the
positions OF his hands just before
the ball is put in play As the
sketches show. five signals are given
in this way and In each case the
player looks natural. Make signals
Of that nature II you depend on a
series OF signals that call for the
player giving them to assume an
unnatural position. q smart defen-
siye team will get wise 10 them in
very short time.

Brookline In the national amateur of

Subconsciously, I got picture OF
Romans which looked like Chubby
Hooman. which he does not in the
least. Romans is tall and slender
and very quiet and wears horn

Hooman Is short and stocky and
has high color and is one of the
best and most continuous takers I

20 years old, too.
