NAVY GRID PRACTICE
WILL BEGIN MARCH is
Spring Drills Important, but Play,
ers May Turn to Other
Sports Branches.

ANNAPOLIS, March 6.-Naval Acad-
envy athletic officials have announced
that Spring foot ball practice will begin
there March Is and continue upon
about the same basis as in recent years:
However, it is also stated that care will
be taken to prevent interference with
regular sports of the season and no
pressure put on players who wish to
report for other branches.
Spring practice is regarded as more
than usually important this year, as
the Navy players are to be grounded In
the Notre Dame sysem, which will be
used by the new head coach, Edgar
(Rip) Millsr.
It is also true that the coaches are
counting heavily upon recruits from
the plebes' eleven Of last year to bolster
up weak places. 1t is likely to supply
the team with its ends and also with
its heavy backs, as well as change
players in other positions.
Miller will be assisted by Christy
Flanagan and, probably, Johnny
O'Brien, both of Notre Dame, and by
Johnny Wilson, Frank Foster and
Walter ASmold of the permanent ath-
letic stah at the Academy.

PROBERS ARE BUSY
IN MIDDLE WEST
North Central Association Is
Expected to Release
Explosive Matter.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~HICAGO, March 6.-Numer-
Gus MidweStern colleges
~ are awaiting with interest
and perhaps some trepida-
ton the report Of the North Cen
trail Association Of Secondary
Schools and Colleges at its annual
meeting here, two weeks hence.
The North Central has been in
vestigating the conduct Of ath-
leticS at many colleges and its
findings are expected to carry
some high explosive matter.
The North Central Association was
organized primarily, the writer is told,
to establish similar and higher scho-
lastic standards among its members. Its
membership has become widespread and
recently the association has been delv-
ing into athletic problems.
North Central investigators have been
scurrying throughout the Middle West
for the last month or more and have
paid visits to several members of the
Western Conference. Among the in
vestigators is c. W. Written, who as
president of the National High School
Association, succeeded in breaking UP
the University of Chicago's national
basket ball tournament that had been
going for years.
1t is limited that the Western Con-
ference Is prepared to repel any at
tackS against its members that the
North Central Association may launch.
The Big Ten has its own organization
for conducting athletics and athletic
investigation and does not feel the STIR
ring need for any outside assistance. A
similar sentiment also Is developing in
the Big Six conference Of the Mis-
souri, Valley, according to run1ors from
that sector.
Expulsion or suspension from the
North Central Association carries with
it loss Of scholastic standing and stu
dents from an institution so punished
are unable to transfer or do graduate
work In other colleges. Obviously the
Western Conference, comprising the 10
outstanding universities of the near
Middle West, win stand for no such
business.
Rebuffed by Coach.
Some Of the North Central investi-
gators patiently approached their tasks
opposed to foot ball. One foot ball coach
reports having been asked this question
by North Central operative:
Seriously, now, don't you think foot
ball has gone far enough? Don't you
think your school would have been bet
ter of If it did not have foot ball
team?" - $500
The coach replied that the investi-
gator was there to obtain information
and not to condemn, whereupon he was
dismissed with the observation that he
was the product of the system"
The North Central NAV be able to
dictate athletic policies to some of the
athletic conferences within its ranks
Of which there are more than 30-but
it likely will find itself buc.ing organ
lied opposition If it attempts to carry
any reform program into the Big Ten
or Big Six. Both the Western Confer
ence and Big Six have. recently COM
pleted jobs Of housekeeping in a
thorough manner and outsiders cannot
improve on the task.
However, the North Central report
will be awaited with the same interest
that preceded the famous Carnegie
Foundation bulletin.
