NAME NEW GRID
CAR TODAY

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Naming
of a new chairman of the football
rules committee was the most inn
portant business on the program
today as the National Collegiate
Athletic Association inaugurated
it's tWenty-seventh annual conven-
ton here.
William S. Langford, perennial
secretary of the committee, and
Walter Okeson, car of eastern
football officials, are leading can
didateS for the Craftsmanship,
formerly held by the late Edward
K. Hall.
One threatened controversy was
removed when the football
coaches, before concluding their
meeting last night, decided not to
seek voting rights on the rules
committee. A moot point to be
decided, however, was the queS-
ton of high and prep schools on
the committee.
The convention will end to-
morrow.
The football coaches brought
their conclave to a close with the
installation of Dan McGugin, Of
Vanderbilt, as president.

Part of East Tennessee

Season after season these
winged messengers of the far
north come to East Tennessee
to winter on the French Broad
River" said the king of out-of-
door writer's. Why, they are
as much a part of East TenneS-
see as are the broad Dutch
bottoms where they winter and
feed.
Always there has been some
thing about the flight of wild
geese that is absent from all
other migratory birds. Their
.unerring accuracy in timing
their flights. and the general
ship employed by them, are
things to marvel about. These
birds have a leader who is in
complete command. No mill
tary genius ever had his sol
diers under better control.
True, this leader may be killed,
but if so, another quickly takes
his place and order is restored
in no time. So wary are these
geese that seldom are any OF
them killed. It is doubtful if
more than a score of them
have been brought down by
hunters in East Tennessee in
the last 10 years.
Like an army on campaign,
the geese maintain eternal vigi-
lance. Hunters will tell you
that they have often seen the
wild geese, but rarely has the
flight been close to these hun
tiers, no matter how well hid
the hunters might have been.

PITT GR|DDERS
END HEAVY
DRILLS

TUSCON, Ariz., Dec. 29.-The
Pittsburgh Panthers have ended
heavy work and started three
days light practices today before
departing Saturday night for
Pasadena to meet the Southern
California gridderS in the Rose
Bowl Monday.
Warm weather replaced several
cold days as Coach Jock Suther-
land led the Panthers to the
desert for the first of two signal
drills today.
Every effort will be made to
bring the Panthers to the apex
of physical and mental condition
for the first big football game Of
the new year.
Practice on Aerials
The Panthers yesterday drilled
on aerial defense and offense, and
then worked on running plays.
Reserves used Trojan plays
with little success against the first
string, which found Paul Cuba, in
jured tackle, again in the regular
position. Heller and Sebastian
also have recovered from injuries
and are as eager as Cuba to get
into action against the mighty
Trojan line.
Team Is Acclimated
Sutherland believes that the
mixture of weather, including
snow, rain, cold and warmth, that
has been the Panthers' lot here,
has acclimated his team for any
type of day that may result Mon.

YALE FOOTBALL
SYSTEM DUE
FOR CHANGE
By GARRY SCHUMACHER

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Yale has
decided to set the words Of
"Boola Boola" to the music OF
Notre Danes victory song. True,
the old Eli tradition has been
upheld with the appointment of
Reggie Root, Yale man to the
head coaching post, but the sys-
tenn of play has definitely been
committed to the Rockne princi-
Piles.
For two of Rockne's most apt
pupils, Adam Walsh and Bucky
O'Connor, will serve as Roots
chief assistants at New Haven.
AS subordinates it isn't within
their authority to direct the Eli
playing policies - but obviously
their suggestions will carry con-
siderable weight.
To make room for O'Connor on
the varsity staff two former Yale
players have been Side-tracked.
Ducky Pond has been assigned to
scrub team coaching post and
Albie Booth has not been reen-
gagged. Walsh is holdover from
the Nal Stevens regime when a
hybrid Notre Dame system was
pursued. Now the boys are to
go the whole way.
OF course, nothing official has
been said yet. Receiving con-
gratulations here last night, Root
was non-committal.
Naturally, Pm not yet in
position to disclose my plans"
he said. "We're to have a
coaches meeting in New
Haven in the near future, and
perhaps at that time 1 may
have something concrete to
announce"
The appointment of Root isn't
particularly surprising in that re-
ports from New Haven have
limited at it ever since Stevens
resignation was announced.
The new coach was a member
of the 1924 and 1925 teams at
Yale, a lineman team-mate of
Stevens, and during the inter-
vening years he has enjoyed
considerable coaching experience.
For two years he served as head
coach at the University of
Mexico. Last year he was the.
Yale freshman mentor.

YOU DON 7 SAY,
MR., SHARKEY

STON, Dec. 29. M X
Schmeling is on the outside look
ing in as far as a crack at Jack
Sharkey's heavyweight champion
ship diadem is concerned. And
it makes little difference whether
the New York Madison Square
Garden, Jack Dempsey, or the
man in the moon does the pro-
noting. Schmeling will never
fight a championship battle as
long as Sharkey is king of the
heavyweights.
That much appeared certain to-
day after Sharkey'S blast against
the German ex-champion, who
was branded a "quitter" because
he accepted the title on foul,
and after Dempsey, another ex-
champion now in the promoting
field, bid for a Sharkey7Schmel-
ing match to be held next Sep
tember when Sharkey'S contract
with the Garden will have ex-
pired. Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's
manager, declares:
"Sharkey's statement in re-
gard to the Schmeling situation
can be considered as an answer
to Dempsey's telegram"
At the time Dempsey wired his
offer, he did not know Sharkey
and Jimmy johnson, Madison
Square Garden matchmaker, had
ruled out Schmeling as possible
opponent. Sharkey is under con-
tract to fight for the Garden on
or before June 80, 1893.

"Possum Jim" may replace the'
Grand Old Man of Football, A.
A. Stagg, as head coach at the
University of Chicago, it became
known today when Major John j.
Griffith, commissioner of athletics
of the Western Conference, admit
ted that he favored Pixlee for
Stages job.
There is no doubt but that
Jim Pixlee would make an excel
lent man for the job," said Major
Griffith. Jim is my friend, and
I most certainly favor him for
the position left vacant by the
retirment of Mr.. Stagg.''
PixIee Is Silent
E. M. Metcalfe, who goes to the
Maroons as director of athletics
from Iowa State at Ames. Iowa,
could not be reached to discuss
the probabilities of Pixlee replac-
ing Stagg. However, among the
hundreds of grid coaches in at
tendance at the annual coaches
association meeting in New York
yesterday it was common knoWl-
edge that Prixlee is under consid-
Grafton, and has the inside
track"
Pixlee himself was silent last
night in New York about the
whole matter and insisted he was
not in position to discuss the
situation.
Len Walsh, Pixlee's chief assist
ant at G. w., stated that he knew
Pixlee was under consideration.
Discussed Often
T have heard it discussed
several times among coaches
since 1 arrived at the meeting"
said Len, "but beyond that /
know nothing about it. Several
coaches from the Big Ten men,
toned it to me and asked me if
thought Pixlee would accept
the position at Chicago. I do
not know that Jim would accept,
but then again, l do not know
that he would turn down an
offer to replace Mr.. Stagg.
am perfectly satisfied that Chi
cagO officials are considering
Jim for the job because of the
widespread discussion among
coaches of the Big Ten"
Harry Kipke, coach cf Michi
gan, stated yesterday that he had
heard Pixlee's name mentioned in
connection with the Chicago coach
ing job. DR.. Clarence Spears, Of
Wisconsin, explained that he had
heard an offer would be made to
Pixlee, but knew nothing of the
matter beyond that. Bert Ing
wersen, former head coach at
Iowa and now "Biff" Jones as
siStant at Louisiana State, said
that he had reasons to believe
that pressure was being brought
to bear on Pixlee to consider an
offer from Chicago.
STEPPING CAUTIOUSLY
"As 1 understand it," said
Bert, mo offer will be made
PixIee until Chicago officials
are certain he will accept.
There appears to be some
doubt that he will take the job
if it is offered to him. One
friend of mine in the Big Ten
told me that Pixlee was return

which the present champion
