TJjje men. who discuss the' football rules seem to agree that
;>as the code stands now'it is a pretty good one. About the only
suggestion for a change was in the forward pass. Dr. II. L.
Williams, coach of the Minnesota team and one of the great
football tacticians of America, suggested that the twenty-yard
Restriction' on the forward' pass be done away with. This would
nieau that the old forward pass, which the Vanderbilt and a
few other Southern teams'learned to use so well, would come
bach again into vogue.
Surely the forward pass rule needs more tinkering. The pass
as it stands now ia a great big bluff. There wasn’t a South
ern team this year that could make any real use of it. It
served as a scarecrow to frighten teams on the defensive into
being ready for it. Otherwise it cut only a trifle more figure
than the revolving wedge. -
Let’s have another cart load of restrictions taken off the
play in the hope that in about ten thousand years it may be suf
ficiently simplified so that the especially good teams can pull it
off successfully at least once in twenty years.
The appointing of a committee to organize a college soecer
association was a move worthy of the heartiest support. There
is a place in college athletic programs jfor soccer .football, and
the game is certainly worthy of a try-out. This is especially
true of the South, where the game could be played all winter.
However, if a national association is formed, it will do much to
promote the game, and eventually the South is bound f° take
it up.
The matter of professional coaches is one that it is hard
to make up one’s mind about. In the first place, so long as
America is without a leisure class, there must always be paid
coaches. And a paid coach is a “professional,” according to
the standards of amateur sports. So talk of abolishing ‘‘profes
sional” coaches is misleading. What is meant, of course, is to
do away with coaches who.make a profession of hupdling teams.
How much good it would do to wipe out professional
coaches is a matter worthy of speculation. No doubt a lot of
the rottenness of college athletics is due to professional coaches.
.Most of the rest of it can be placed to the discredit of the alum
ni of the colleges. Now, just how much good it would do to
switch from professional coaches to alumni conches is a prob
lem. Certainly those who believe that college athletics would
be immeasurably purified by putting a ban on professional
coaches are in line for a deep disappointment.
It is fine to talk about doing away with paid admissions at
college games. But it will end in talk. It costs money to
run college athletics, and there’s nobody to pay the money ex
cept those who go thru the turnstiles.
The summer baseball problem is a difficult one. Personally
we are well satisfied with the S. I. A. A. rule that says that no
college man shall play baseball on a team in the summer unless
clays without pay "for his own home town, and provided this
ream is not in a regular league. With a rule like that in effect,
a lot of faking and a lot of playing by incligibles is done away,
with.
GRIM MEETS
TOUGH LAD
VANDV FIVE
HERE SOON
Baltimore Lightweight to Hook Commodore Basket Ballists Are
Here is a list of the big matters considered at the meeting
of the National Collegiate Athletic association at New York
Thursday:
Forward pass. ,
Soccer football.
Professional coaches.
Gate receipts.
Summer baseball.
Up With T. Nelson, Con
queror of Jake Abel.
Whether the right of meeting Walter
Little will fall to the lot of Terry Nel
son, the little Greek lad, who In a few
ahort yean haa taken part In 86 ring
engagementi, or whether the honor and
the chance at the coin will pasa to the
len experienced Russian-Baltimorean,
Young Joe Grim, will bo a question
answered Friday night In Btaten’s club
room* In the Stelner-Emery building,
at the conclusion of ten rounds of what
promises to be furlou* going. What
ever the answer Is to be, local tana feel
sure that the working-out of the prob
lem win be a sight worth seeing to any
man who takes an Interest In the ring
sport.
A month ago nobody in Atlanta knew
anything of either lad who will clash
Friday night. Both were brought here
to box Jake Abel, a man who atood
very cloie to the top In the estima
tion of Southern Queensberry fans. One
got a wonderfully good draw with him;
the other got a decision. Nov they
are to meet to decide the queitlon of
supremacy.
This scrap will, In a way, give a line
on a matter which has been the sub
ject of much local arguing. When Grim
got his draw with Jake Abel It waa
as clean a one as waa ever seen. When
Terry Nelson got his decision over Abel
the backers of the Chattanoogan yelled
that it should have been a draw, and
that in reality Grim made a better
shewing against Abel than Nelson did.
If Grim can go ahead and get a deci
sion Friday night the Abelltes will
whoop loudly, and will feel that their
contention waa a Just one. Whatever
way the affair turns out. local fans are
confident that It will afford a full ten
rounds of Intense excitement and of
clever and spectacular ring’doings.
Manager Staten Is offering good pre
liminaries In the Laweon-Gardner
thing at four rounds, and the Seymour.
Colllps affray at six rounds, and feels
sure that the entire bill Is worthy of
splendid prominence.
Slated for Game With A. A.
C. Team on Saturday.
An event of unusual Importance In the
Atlanta basket ball world will be the ap
pearance on the Atlanta Athletic club
floor Saturday night of the Vanderbilt
flve. An appearance of the Commodores
hare, whether for rootbsll, baseball Or
basket ball performances, Is always the
signal for a big outpouring of fane, and
Saturday night will not furnish any ex
ception.

This game wa* the most exciting played
In either league, and wa* fiercely fought

even up matters In the last few seconds
Of play by being given a free shot at
the goal which waa mlasad. Abbott, of
the Grant Athletics, played the beat game.
He scored 14 points and covered a world
of ground. Giles did notable work on the
defense. Ed LaFItte and Norton played
the best game for the K. of C. lade. This

to enter the all-comers’ tournament.
They also favor limiting the field to 20
players, so that ths tournament ran bo

that last August the. entry lilt con
