NC. A. A. Likely to Name
Kennedy NetU President
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

NEW YORK, December 81 c. P. A.
"A closer relationship between the
N. G. A. A. and the I. G. A. A. A. A.
Is seen If DR.. Charles Kennedy of
Princeton is chosen president of the
National Collegiate Athletic ASsocia-
ton to succeed Gen. Palmer Pierce
at the annual meeting Of the organi-
cation Wednesday
DR.. s. v. Sanford of Georgia is the
South's candidate for the presidency
of the association in case the resig-
nation OF Gen. Pierce is accepted,
but 1t is believed that DR.. Kennedy is
the man most strongly favored.
Until the past two years the I. @.
A. A. A. A., which is the strongest
in the East, has held more or less
aloof from the N. G. A. A., but
should DR.. Kennedy be chosen head
of the national association it auto
matically would bring firmer union
between the two bodies, since the
Princeton man has for a long time
been one of the outstanding figures
in the I. G. A. A. A. A.
With the two collegiate associa-
tons working in close relationship
and harmony the authority of the
A. A. u. in Olympic affairs would be
seriously curtailed.

the same play, one major and the other
minor, instead Of the ball reverting to
its original position the difference be-
tween the two penalties would be as
seSsed.
The other proposed change would
have given q team In possession of the
ball within fiye yards OF the sidelines
the option Of putting 1t IN play Is yards
from the sideline with the loss Of q
down.
All three suggestions died a rapid
death when r. w. P. Brown Of Brown

rules now was practically complete

made. The decision, by appraised hands

changes.
