Thinks Grid Toll
Is Running Game

PHILADELPHIA, December 20 Up.
T-Unless intensive and prolonged
training for college foot ball is
stopped, it will kill that sport in
five years, william w. Roper, for
mer Princeton coach, warned men,
bers of the Middle Atlantic States
Athletic Conference today.
College foot ball is filling a ire
mendous part in the development of
the young men of this country,
Roper said, but certain things will
have to be changed or the game will
greatly suffer
This business of having six,
eight or ten weeks of practice is all
wrong" said the former coach. ut
interferes with other sports. A
youth in college should have the
right to turn out for the particular
kind of athletics he likes best. It's
really ridiculous to call out a foot
ball squad for any great length of
time in the Spring. If Spring prac-
tice cannot be cut out entirely, I
would suggest not more than two
weeks of it. In the Fall there
should be no practicing until about
September 10. If necessary, open
the college foot ball season later.
A team should have at least three or
four weeks to get in condition for
its first game.
IF this foot ball training durdg-
cry Is not eliminated in the next five
years the player will step aside"
said Roper HE wants to play for
pleasure and not be driven. The
game may be stopped from inside
and not outside If these conditions
remain"

ACTION APT TO END
MAJOR-M|NOR WAR
League Breaks With Coast,
Int. Loops as 1t Agrees
to All Terms.

BY the Associated Press.
0HICAGO, December 20. =
The battle line of the
~ minor leagues, thrown to-
gether as a stone wall in
their fight against the major
leagues over the draft question,
broke at a strategic point today.
The break came in the American As
ISOLATION sector when a majority OF
that eight-club league voted to sur
render to the demand of the majors by
accepting the draft plan. 1t was the
first break in the fight, which had
threatened to disrupt all business rela-
tons between the big and small brothers
Of base ball.
of the American Association, long one of
the leading opposing leagues to the
universal base ball draft, said that flve
clubs in the league had voted to accept
the major league proposal on the sub
ject, two had rejected it, while another
club was still to be heard from. The
question of final acceptance or rejection
was carried on by mail vote.
Naturally, the outcome of the mail
vote means that the American Associa-
ton will accept the draft proposal of
the major leagues Immediately" PreSi-
dent Hickey said.
Under the terms of the proposal the
majors agree not to draft any player
until he has had at least four years ex-
perience in the minor leagues, except
college players recruited directly from
college, and to pay minimum price of
$500 for each selected player.
The action of the American Associa-
ton was regarded as a death blow to
the minors fight. The circuit, one of
the big three" of the minors, along
with the Pacific Coast and International
Leagues, has been one of the largest
contributors of major league talent for
years. Clubs belonging to the league
are Louisville, Columbus, Milwaukee, St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Toledo, Kansas City
and indianapolis.
