n YEW YORK, December 81
nj Overshadowing even such per-
| " ennial bugaboos as subsidiza-
ton and rule changes, the rise
Of gambling in college foot ball has
collegiate sports leaders worried.
This serious menace" as the Ma
tion's grid coaches termed 1t, provided
the outstanding aftermath today TO
the meetings Of college athletic big
wigs. which reached a new high in
"deploring" this-and-t about extra
curricular features of the game.
For the first time the coaches are
going to do something about gambling.
After hearing a committee report that
more money was bet on the grid game
last season than on horse racing, an
investigation was voted.
Stuhldreher Next President.
HARRY KIPKE, Michigan coach
and new president of the Foot
Ball Coaches Association of America,
Will name a committee to make the
study and submit recommendations at
the 1887 convention.
Among the officers elected with
Kipke was Harry St,lhldreher of Wis
consin. as first vice president, an Of
nee which automatically will elevate
him to the presidency next year.
The gambling evil, earlier deplored
by the convention of the National COL
legiate Athletic Association, was
brought into the coaches meeting in a
report from the Public Relations Com
mittee headed by Gus Dorais of De-
troit.
"The increase in gambling last year."
this report said, was unbelievable.
Professional gamblers are interested in
a big way"
Although there was no discussion,
the coaches agreed later that gam
bling has assumed risky proportions.
There was particular talk of that
portion of the report which said
Gamblers send men around to get in
side information on a teams prepara-
tions, player injuries, ETC."
Opposes Post Season Games.
A MOTHER report, from the commit
= tee headed by Bob Higgins of Penn
State, asked whether the coaches who
make weekly public predictions during
the season, are not helping to foster
gambling interest. The N. c. A. A.
has opposed this practice by
coaches. Higgins report classed this
action as "borderline ethics"
As usual, the N. c. A. A. talked q
great deal, but did little about the ath-
letic subsidiZation problem, agreeing
it should be left up to the individual
colleges. The association also an
nounced opposition to post-season
games.
The coaches went into considerable
detail on the rules, but decided the
games code will need little alteration
for next season. They agreed, gen.
orally, there was no need to change
the pass interference rule.
A six-year survey Of foot ball fatal
tiles. submitted by Floyd B. Eastwood
of New York, said % deaths were at
tributable directly to the game this
year, and that there will continue to
be Is to 80 annually unless the high
school fatality toll is reduced. There
were IA high school deaths last season.
