Grid Coaches
War on Rules
Rebel Against Do
Nothing Tactics
BY LAYTON CARVER


international News service sports EDITOR
NEW YORK, June 10 (INSl-
For the first time since football
was brought in out of the COW
pastures and put into the great
and lavish stadiums the coaches
are in open rebellion against the
rules committee and determined
TO make their own rules as they
so along.
Down through the years there
has been some pickering and
back-biting from time to time
among the Official rulers of a
game that once was campus pas
time and now is a tremendous
sports business, and in some cases
a racket. But somehow or other,
probably because the money in
volved engendered an eagerness
TO avoid lasting friction. they al
ways managed to get together.
This time the coaches are
swinging from the heels at the
rules committee with an enthu-
SiaSm that makes ii look quite
definitely as though the coaches
are going to run the game until
such time as the rules committee
will stop and ponder for a min
ute.
Crux OF II all is a demand by
the coaches, as recently voiced by
their committee chairman, Lou
Little of Columbia for revision of
the rules to eliminate aggravat-
ing little evils that have crept in
during the rules committees in
activity. The latter has frozen
the rules for the duration.
I'VE can't let the game be-
come stagnant on account of
the war;" Little said recently.
IF we are going 20 play the
game at all we might just as
well play IL as well as we can"
Bill Bingham, chairman of the
rules committee. shrugged, look
ing with appreciation over Har-
wards revered campus and in
sisted nothing would be done.
Nothing could be done, Ell?
While nobody was looking, over
the past weekend the coaches
got together in New York for
their annual meeting and de-
cided they would rule out the
out-of-bounds kickoff, whether
the rules committee liked it or
not, and before next season has
ended they will be playing by a
code that will be made up as they
go along.
They will get around the OBJ
jectionable features of the rules
through what Little recently
t I'm e d "gentlemens agree
ments."
Football isn't going to amount
to much during the war anyhow,
and this should be as good a time
as any for the coaches to try out
their ideas of how the game
should be run. After all they are
not eager ITO see it spoiled, for
their jobs depend on its popu-
larity.
