1t was rainy from the outset to-
day, and except for the fact that it
offered early training to the mole
skin wearers on how to handle the
elusive ball under wet conditions,
the day was a washout for the
coaches.
Paul D. CTony) Hinkle, head man
at Butler and his chief assistant,
Wally Middlesworth, had the Bull
dog charges QUILTED last week and
ready to swing off to flying start
today. Raymond (GaummN Neal,
at De PAW; Roy Tillotson, at
Franklin; John Magnabosco, at
Ball State, where he begins his first
season as a college mentor after a
successful career at Clinton high
school; Carl Burt, at Manchester;
Jake Christensen, at Valparaiso;
Wally Marks, at Indiana State
Teachers; John Van Lew, at Han
over; Bill Slyker, at Evansville Col
lege and others we're all set today
when the barrier dropped.
Some of them had issued most of
their equipment Friday and Satur-
day, but some were obliged to wait
for the general student body to ar
rive today.
Wabash and Earlham Late
Robert Pete) Vaughan, veteran
mentor at Wabash, and M. o. Ross
at Earlham, both announced that
their opening practice sessions would
not get under way until next Mon
day, Sept Is, which will allow them
only IL practice sessions before their
opening games against Oakland City
and Central Normal, respectively, on
Saturday, Sept. %.
Although Indiana, Purdue and
Notre Dame are members of the
Indiana intercollegiate Conference,
they we're obliged to defer their
opening practice sessions until to-
morrow Big Ten ruling setting the
date for opening practice sessions
at Sept. 10.
Notre Dame follows the Big Ten
rules closely, although not a mem

ference used Sept. IS as the open
ing date, but relented a bit this
year to give mentors at schools
where they have early scholastic
openings a chance at a few morn
ing and afternoon practice sessions
before the boys take to their books.
HuntSman Assists Ross
In addition to the change at Ball
States where Magnabosco succeeds
Lawrence McPhee, there is a coach
ing change at Earlham where j..
Owen Huntsman will assume the
athletic dictatorship and assist
Coach Ross in football. HuntSman
succeeds Blair Gullion as director,

The Indiana College Coaches As
ISOLATION met here Saturday in con-
junction with the Indiana Officials
Association rules clinic. Chief con-

rule covering dead bail.
Agree on Rule
While the rules say that a play
er in possession of the ball who is
so held that his forward progress
