FOOT BALL STORM
SHAKES NEW YORK
Coaching Staff Members at
Manhattan and Columbia
Quit Their Jobs.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer

ASSoe!ateo Fress sports Writer.
n YEW YORK, December 1s.-The
N storm OF foot ball argument
Y RACES unabated, but nowhere
with quite so devastating an
effect as in New York.
Here all three major universities
Columbia, New York and Fordham-
and one smaller school, Manhattan,
nave been centers Of post-season foot
ball controversy or discussion of one
sort or another.
Three coaches have resigned, charges
OF professionalism have been fired and
other arguments have crept in.
The storm, so far as New York is
concerned, began with the attack
launched by the New York UNIVERSITY
DAILY News on John F. Chick Meehan
on the grounds that he represented
big g-tlme foot ball" Meehan's resigna-
tlon followed few days later as N. Y.
Y. announced new athletic era" the
caIuthai point OF which was the de-
emphasis of foot ball.
Two more coaches quit Yesterday AL
though not under such spectacular cir
cumstances. John Law, head coach at
Manhattan for two years, announced
from Washington that he would NOT
return here, and Marty Brill, who was
with Law at Washington, revealed he
old not intend to serve again as an
assistant coach at Columbia. Both are
Notre Dame alumni. Law was cantain
OF the undefeated Rambler team of
1929 and Brill wound up his career at
south Bend year later.
Columbia, shaken by charges and
fumored charges of widespread pro-
fessionalism, was back on an even keel
again as this broadside met with
prompt and complete denial from ath-
letic authorities.
Fordham escaped the fires of con-
troyersy, but the death Of Con Murphy,
nurt In the Bucknell game, and the
serious injury in the same contest of
John Szymanski made it appear for a
time as though the Rams might abolish

are going to make few moves
which may not make the coaches feel
that Happy Days" is the national
anthem. No, sir, that Louie believes
that the game, as it is now conducted,
is on the defense and that when the
season opens next year there will be
considerable piping down.
Louie cannot get excited over the G.
too many schools wearing the same
shoes. The only trouble at G.. w. U. is
they do not seem to be able to keep
their skeletons safely in the closet.
Louie always gets a laugh when anna
teur athletics demand shorter hours
and more pay.
What the great man thinks Of anna
teurism in sports you could tuck behind
your left ear and never feel it. Just
when the great man thinks he has
discovered an amateur athlete to dis
play to the world the boy leaves his
hat behind and Louie finds pay check
in the inside band
But things are getting better be-
cause they cannot get any worse. And
those who award the simon pure dol
lar bills for trophies are finding shin
plasters are getting scarce. The next
thing we know the amateurs will be
awarded medals for prizes.
Louie, the great, still thinks that
Dempsey is a sure shot to eat pumpkin
with Carnera, the teetering tower of
pugilism.
Louie notes that sports writer's are
beginning to steam up the old hol-
low shell and there's no sense in
steaming up something which you
cannot use. So Mr.. Dempsey will
be back, just as that Louie has been
predicting for a long while And
when he does make the startling an
nouncement, who else is there to
make the other half a gate attrac-
ton other than the big boy from
Italy?
Louie took a peck at an Alexandria
show the other night and it seemed
like old home week. Some of the boys
in on the show in various ways have
been hanging around the sour science
since John L. Sullivan's twenty-first
birthday.
frankie Rice, who used to train on
