There Is no valid reason" Mr.,

By this is meant he states. that
todays home is a better designed
house, with better materials, better
prices on equipment, lower cost of

does not have. Let's keep It this

Perfect Defense Against Pass
Impossible, Motty Bell Tells
Grid Coaches Convention

Coach Ray Bear" Wolf Of the Uni
versity of North Carolina discussed
developments Of pass offense. He
noted a change in this department
in that coaches appeared to be get
ting away from the spot pass" in
favor of passes designed to cope
with the numerous shifting defenses
in use. The spot pass is built on the
theory of having receiver at a
given point at given time.
Wolf, unusually successful with
passes, disclosed that his 1899 team
and many others had three or four
different pass plays to throw at
every especial defense. incidentally,
it is understood North Carolina Of
ficials intend to tear up VOLTS old
contract, which has three years to
run, and sign him for a much longer
period.
Members of the N. c. A. A., gov
erning body of athletics for most OF
the country's schools, hauled out
their new pet, more stringent set
of rules, for final disposition today.

cuffs on institutions which now.
through laxity or design, fail to
observe the code of ethics.
Little in Disagreement.
Lou Little of Columbia, president
of the coaches. voiced opposition to
the proposal in a joint meeting with
the educators yesterday. Said Little:
Every person has the privilege of
associating with whom he pleases
and colleges should have similar
choice in selection of their compete
tors. In my opinion you can't get
any place by compulsion or restric-
ton. Just because an athlete goes
to an agricultural school which does
not have the high academic rating
Of, say, a technical institution, there
is no reason why he should be barred
from competition with a student
majoring in the arts or sciences"

record Southern crowd Of 10000 in
the annual Sugar Bowl classic.
In training camps separated by

Clear, Crisp Weather Forecast.
Indications are that clear, but
crisp weather would prevail. The
weather has not always been good
for this post-season classic.
Sudden collapse of his quarter
backing post sent Coach Norton into
a tailspin. Illness and unexpected
injuries had the first three quarter
backs listed in fair, doubtful and
hopeless condition.
Walemon (Cotton) Price, fine
flrst-stringer and the Cadets ablest
passer, wasn't recovered fully from

would be "braced" and start the
game. Marion Pugh, the second
man, just recovering from an attack
of flu, complained of being weak.
Physicians sent him to bed. Def

not have the services of an ace
sophomore, Bob Glass. Otherwise,
the Tulane squad was in physical
shape.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30.-News
and views of the National Collegiate
and American Football Coaches As
sociation meetings:
Madison "Matty" Bell, whose
Southern Methodist football team
throws passes with the abandon of
a Hollywood press agent scattering
adjectives, contends there is no
perfect defense" against aerial
gridiron gunnery. That's why he
makes such frequent use Of this
weapon which many coaches fall
back on only as a secondary or
desperation resort.
Strange therefore that Bell Of all
persons was asked to address as
sembled coaching colleagues of the
subject: Developments on pass
defense" Perhaps his sideline
cousins were after a formula to stop
his favorite type of yard-gaining
tactics.
Mustang Coach Cagey.
Neatly he avoided such a trap
with these generalities:
You see a great many perfect
offensive plays. which 60 for touch
downs There is just so much you
can do with pass defense and no
more. AS far as I know there is
no perfect pass defense. Coaches
I have talked to express more
anxiety over stopping passes than
any other phase of defensive foot
ball. The best one can hope to do
is to cut down the average COM
pleted against you"
1t is accepted generally there are
more passes thrown in the South
west than any other section. Who
started the business? Bell gives
that credit to his predecessor, Ray
Morrison, now at Vanderbilt.
