solemn proceedings of the week end in
New Orleans, where the National AsSo-

will be in session.

SionS of the coaches will be the antics

at the coaches meetings and make
them delightful.
Bob Zuppke will appear with a new
point on the lance which he reserves
for Knute Rockne and Knute, as usual,
will meet him without shield, but with
a perfectly good lance of his own.
Both laugh at their wounds in the sheer
joy of giving them.
But zupp will have more than Rockne
on his hands this year. Meeting Bob
Spears of Minnesota, he will have to
laugh off his recent juggling of the SOU
briquet, "Thundering Herd" by which
the Gophers are fondly known, into

And he will have to explain to Pop

N 7 EW ORLEANS, La, December
IN 27,-Foot ball coaches repre-
vi Senting almost every American
l. Y university and college were in
New Orleans today to attend
the twenty-third annual convention of
the National Association of Foot Ball
Coaches, and many proposed changes in
the rules will be debated during the
meeting, which extends through Satur-
day.
Among the later arrivals were 10
Eastern coaches, headed by Glenn
Chick Meehan of the New York Uni
versity, who came to New Orleans on
q special train. Alonzo Stagg of the
University of Chicago and Lou Little
of Georgetown, reached New Orleans
yesterday.
Executive sessions were on today's
program and it is thought that many
of the proposed changes in the rules,
including Pop" Warmers plan to elimi
nate tie games by awarding victory to
the team making the most number of
first downs in cases where actual Scor-
ing is tied, will be presented.
The coaches will hold an open meet
ing tomorrow, but the final day will be
devoted to executive discussion and
adoption of the rules for 1929
Warmers plan to end tie games has
not a strong following, apparently,
many leading coaches expressing oppo-
Sition to the plan.
Coach Stagg, was one of the more

seems to be satisfied with the present
luck element in the game and he saw
no reason for adopting the Warner

BEARS NOW READY
FOR GEORGIA TECH
So Far Advanced for Clash
on New Year Day That
Practice Reduced.
BY the Associated Press.


PASADENA, Calf, December 27.-
Ten workouts in six days have put the
University of California Bears into
such shape that beginning today they
will undergo but one practice session
daily until their meeting in the Rose
Bowl on New Year day with the Golden
Tornado of Georgia Tech.
"NibS" Price, Bear coach, announced
his satisfaction with workout progress
by telling his charges that their load
had been thus lightened.
Coach Bill Alexander encountered
some adversely yesterday when the
Georgia Tornados' regular guard,
Raleigh Drennon and his underStudy,
Jim Brooke, were sent to camp to re-
cover from fevers. The day was not
total wreck for Alexander, however,
because he is said to have witnessed
highly satisfactory Gcrimmage ses-
sion.
It was Techs first heavy scrimmage
since arriving here. The Yellow jack
cts, who worked behind locked gates,
showed that California would have no
easy task in upholding Western foot
ball prestige. The workout was in the
form Of a long drill against California
formations.

still remained unsold, but that the

CHANGE IN HOCKEY
STANDINGS CERTAIN
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, December 27.-Every
night of play in the National Hockey
League offers few points Of interest
in the standings as we'll as the games
The three contests on the schedule to-
night are not exceptions to this rule,
for they bring up at least three inter-
esting questions of what may happen.
The game in Madison Square Garden
brings up the problem of whether Chi
cago's lowly Blackhawks, who came to
life Christmas night long enough to
trounce the Boston Bruins, can keep
up the pace against the league-leading
New York Americans. After looking
very bad all season, Chicago suddenly
put on a good display while the Ameri-
cans were doing at least as well IN
beating the Rangers.
OF tonight's three games, this is the
only one that can bring no change In
the standings. Chicago, last in the
American group. is three points behlno
Pittsburgh, while the Americans are
game ahead of the Montreal Maroons,
second in the International, who are
idle.
Pittsburgh, entertaining at Toronto
has before it the possibility of tying
Boston for the third place in the Amer
ican group after a long climb. With
victories in their last two games, the
Pirates are only two points behind the
Bruins, who have lost five Of their last
six, and Boston is not scheduled to-
night.
The Detroit Cougars are second by
three points to the New York Rangers
In the American group and can cut
the margin to a point by beating Les
Canadiens at Montreal. The last con-
test between these teams brought a
5-to-1 victory for Detroit, which prob
ably will not be repeated.
The Canadian contestants in these
two games are staging close race for
third place in their group. The Ca
nadiens lead by one point and are
three behind the Maroons BY a
victory or tie tonight, the French
men could hold their position in the
standing, while the Maple Leafs could
move up notch by winning IL the
Canadiens lose. Records of unexpected
