He told of the Notre Dame
Navy game and his efforts TO in-
ject a personal plea TO his Irish

and said:

old man has passed on by now"

the iceboat site. shale ice. very
treacherous stuff, extends out
from shore about a mile and a
half and the snow is too deep for
an iceboat to get going in any
thing short of a gale.

DissenfS

CHICAGO, Jan. IL (fNS)-A
battling professional
football fans today was why
the National Football League
ever held its annual mid-winter
meeting.
Owners, managers and coaches
came to Chicago from nine MEM
Der cities. The rules committee
labored for a full day, but brought
forth nothing startling in the way
of rules innovations.
The league executives them
selves, representing the IL clubs,
met behind closed doors for two
hours yesterday, only TO announce
on breaking up that they had
transacted no business and that
everything had been left for de-
cision at the spring meeting m
April.
ALL CHANGES TABLED
That meant that the COM
mittee's light recommendations
for rules changes had been tabled,
that the draft of college players,
announced as the principal order
OF business, had been postponed.
that discussions of an 11-club
schedule for 1915 had been showed
aside and, in short, that the out
of-town representatives had come
principally for the ride.
The only objector to the ad-
journment. apparently. was
George Preston Marshall, owner
of the Washington Redskins. who
stalked out of the meeting de-
claring that the adjournment was
illegal. He cited a league rule
which said:
"After the date and time OF
the annual meeting, or any spe-
9clal meeting, have been set by
the committee, a unanimous
vote by the members shall be
necessary TO change such n
date"
