SPORTS. 31 ' SOME MEMBERS OPPOSED "'TO THE FRESHMEN RULE * Declare That Foot Ball Is Hampered too Greatly by Barring First-Year Men—Conflict With New Conference Also a Factor. . REENVILLE, S. G C., December 14.—Possibility of the dissolution of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association as a result| of conflicting with the comparatively new southern intercollegiate conference, looms large, as_one of the important matters expected to ¢ come up at the annual meeting of the S. I. A. A, to be held here tomar- row and Saturday. Intimation that the present organization might be dissolved and some new body formed was given in a letter received here from E. T. Holmes of Barnesville, Ga., secretary. Among important topics to be taken up will be discussion of rules con- cerning the participation of freshmen in intercollegiate games and the re- striction of such athletic contests to undergraduates. Sees Difficulties Ahead. In a letter to & localnewspaper Mr. ¥lolmes wrote: “I conclude from two suggested amendments that there will be a dis- position on the part of a number of the colleges to restrict the eduie f the freshmen ms to their own institution: There is-a° feeling, as You know, on the part of several of the colleges of the asgoclation that they are unable to support a foot ball team without using first-year men. The enactment of our rule eliminat- "g freshmen from varsity foot ball schedules required several years of effort, and now that so many of the institutfons in the association have committed themselves definitely and positively to this policy, T do not my- ®elf see how the association can sur- ¥ive unless concessions are made on both sides." Continuing, Holmes says: “This will be the twenty-eighth nession of the convention. It would seem unfortunate that an assoclation which has been in existence prac tically thirty vears and is a plone in the fight for clean, straight ama- teur athletics in our colleges, and an ssoclatlon that has done so many wonderful things for the promotion of the best a much that some common ground may be found so that the present mem- bership of the S. I. A. A. may be held intact. I do not belleve that th southern conference can render quite the service to our colleges that has been rendered and is being rendered to them by the S. L A.

Very few attempts for try at point| were blocked, but very many were issed through the failure of one of hese two men properly to perform je task. Perhaps the most interesting basis for iIntensive study of the trends of the game was presented by _the analysis of the Boston College-Holy ¢'ross contest, made by Fred Burleigh, #n officlal. His flgures show that in the entire game the ball actually was 4n play less than twelve minutes, al- though the game lasted over two hours. including the intermissions. Of this time. Burleigh estimated that forty-eight minutes and thirty-seven seconds were consumed In ving signals for the 132 plays which were Tun off, thirty-five of which took place in each of the first and fourth quarters and thirty-one each in the second and third periods. Many stu- dents of the game now are figuring on some method of reducing these de- | lays. As Glimour Doble a'ts by his fire and pours over his scrap book this ‘winter. the usually grim Cornell foot ball coach probably will get a couple of hearty laughs. He will. if he has saved an article which appeared un- der the signature of a prominent writer dealing with the foot ball sit- uation at Cornell as it appeared about two years ago. This article says, in part: “There has been a steadily growin discontent over the present foot blFl situation at Cornell, and certalnly the graduates who have been closely as- sociated with the game have about made up treir minds that last year's sad showing need not be .repeated. | They will move by such methods "i they find available to find a way to termimate the contract of the present coach, Gilmour Dobie.” Dobie’s work with the Cornell elev- ens last year and this year is the answer. Many authorities are alarmed at the Freat growth of foot ball. As a re- sult we bave a situation which is peculiar, but ‘which must be faced in onsfderation of an athletic pro- gramh of a university as a whole. Deflation of the budget of athletic expenses is and has been for some years extremely advisable. But the deflation of the gate receipts—the in- come—would bring about financial catastrophe or the abandonment of meveral sports which furnish exercise and pleasure to the undergraduates, particularly to those who otherwise ‘would not get any attention in the athletic line. {(Copyright, 1922.)
