California In Secret Drill

PASADENA, Dec. % G.N.S).
Seeking greater privacy, "Stub"
Allison might take his California
Golden Bears to Alhambra High
School this afternoon for stiff
practice drill in preparation for
the Rose Bowl game Saturday.
When Allison arrived at Brook

initial practice, the first thing
that struck Allison was the fact
that people could see through the
hedge and also could climb the
scoreboard outside the enclosure
and witness the workout.
George Hobbs, Alhambra coach,
who developed Ward Stockton, all
American guard of the Bears, i'm
mediately offered the use of his
field. Allison is one Of the
staunchest believers in secret prac-
tice among coaches.
The Bears have three players,
all substitutes, on their casualty
list. They are Henry Sparks, end,
who made the sensational catch
Of touchdown pass against Stan
ford q year ago, Jack Hay, who
also plays a flank job, and Jack
Breeder, 200-pound center.

Rules Changes Occupy

Hold
Debate on
Movies

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 2e
(I.N.SO.-With the vanguard OF
coaches and athletic directors in
town, numerous problems today
awaited the annual conventions
of the American Football Coaches
Association, the Collegiate Ath-
letic Association, the Association
of Faculty Directors and the
Dixie Conference.
While the question Of football
rule changes for 1888 occupied
the limelight Of the three-day seS-
sions starting Wednesday, there
were other important matters to
be considered. There has been
much debate regarding movies OF
games and there was some talk
of drastic action.
PROMINENT COACHES
There will be discussions Of
offensive and defensive maneu-
vers, with Monty Gilman'S
human tackling dummy" at
tracing much attention. Along
with c. E. Thornhill of Stanford
Gilman was one of the early ar
rivals. An inventor of the train
ing implement which "does every.
thing but talk" Gilman will
exhibit his prize.
Some Of the more prominent
coaches who were due to arrive
today were "Chick" Meehan, re-
signed coach at Manhattan; Cal
Snavely of Cornell, Harry Kipke,
late Of Michigan, and Lou Little
of Columbia. Little is chairman
Of the rules committee Of the
Football Coaches Association,
which will hold an important
meeting Wednesday morning. Out
Of this meeting may come rec.
concentrations on rule changes.
Thornhill, one of the members
Of the rules committee, thinks the
defense is getting the best of the
game" and favors the allowance
of forward passes anywhere be-
hind the line of scrimmages as
now practiced by the professionals.
CONTROL OF SPORTS
Other matters to be Brought up
by the coaches are financial aid
and control Of intercollegiate
sports: relations with the Ameri-
can Olympic Association, and Fed
eral admissions taxes. The fifth
circuit court Of appeals here re-
Gently held that the Federal ad-
mission tax to football games and
other athletic events does not ap-
ply to State controlled schools.
The decision was based on the well
settled principle of constitutional
law that the Federal Government
has no power to tax a State or
division thereof.

POOR WARREN WRIGHT
I can't tell you, Damon. how
badly it made me feel to read
your column in the Mirror in
which you picked Bull Lea to
win the Kentucky Derby. Poor
poor Warren Wright. He's tried
SO hard to win a Derby and
here you go putting the whami
on him four months before the
race. I'd rather be wrong than
Wright in the Derby now.
HirSch Jacobs could tell you
that Bull Lea couldn't catch Mr..
Will Woodward's, and my, Fight
ing Fox, if he was chasing him
around cage in the zoo.
Still, every crowd has a little
silver in the lining of its pockets.
Last year Mrs. Wright planned
to go to Europe in the early
spring. Warren said no, that it
would be more fun to stay at
home and win the Derby. They
stayed at home and Sam Rid
dies War Admiral won the
Derby.
Last year, as the date of the
race approached. Mr.. Wright
had two Derby hopes. One was
named Gosum; the other, Gal

sun wouldn't.
We we're a guest at Calumet

Derby was run. Even then, War

wasn't quite sure whether to
start or scratch the horses.

Trainer Frank Kearns had in

track, they decided that the

with Mrs. Roy CarTuthers and

unless the two National Football

are forbidden specifically by their
league to play the Bulldogs. The
Bulldogs stole several players un.
der contract to N. F. L. teams and
thus classified themselves as out
laws.
Mark Kelly, columnist for the
Los Angeles Examiner, came out
in his column recently and stated
that unless the Redskins or Bears
would agree to play the Bulldogs,
the Fasteners would not get the

initely has stated that unless he

would be no game in Los Angeles.

Gevinson's only defeat since he

the hands of Archibald. He has
shown much improvement since last
summer, however, and has become a
great favorite with the fans. although
he did receive healthy booing along
