New York, Nov. 13.—Legislation requiring all football teams to num- ber players may find its way on the gridiron law books when the rules committee meets this winter. Numerous other reforms are also being agitated. The committee is ex- pected to go on record with a cen- sure of the “scouting system” and the practice, becoming more and more prevalent, of coaxing star play- ers away from other colleges and universities. Numberig players, as a concession o the public, has been the subject of agitation for several years. The rules committee had it up last winter and disposed of the proposal with a resolution—"“The committee recom- mends that all players e numbered.” Practically all of the major teams are numbering their players this sea- son except Yale, Harvard and the two service academies. Princeton has been numbering the Tigérs in every game and has an- nounced the intention of doing the same thing in the big games with Yale and Harvard, although it seems likely that. they will not do it. Commander Douglas Howard, of the Naval academy, said after the recent Princeton-Navy game that the midshipmen would not be numbered in ‘amy game. If the Navy takes this attitude, it is certain that the Army will dg the same thing. One of the objections is that “scouts” can pick out star players and that trick players are more easily detected by numbers. Hoyever, this objection will be overruled if some action is taken by the rules committee, or the athletic bodies of the big- universities to dis- courage “scouting.” “Princeton, the lone member of the 1 85¢ PER MONTH FIVE MEMBERS FOR SHIPPING BOARD TODAY. to Continue as Chairman .

Benson was desig- nated to continue as chairman of the board and John A. McDonald, New “Big Three” to show any progressive ideas, has come out against “scout- ing” with the assertion that they will not do it in the future. A “gentle- man's agreement” is said to have been reached among the “Big Three” to discontinwe the practice. Last year after losiag the annual game to the Naval academy, the Army announced that it was going out and get players. The Navy howls that the Cadet management\did go out and collect stars by a wholesale distribution of appointments. Rutgers is also howling about the same thing, having had a good team ruined by ‘‘desertions.” Nine star players left and went to other uni- versities, where they are starring this yesr. French - and - Stork went to West Point, Kelly to Yale, Alexander and Duffy to Fordham, Whitehill to Penn, Meistrell to Princeton, and Hummell to Lafayette. Some very interesting disclosures about the inducements being offered to prep school stars is promised for the winter meeting.
