SPOXTS. - Foot Ball Coackes’ ARRAY OF GRID MENTORS #WILL GATHER AT ATLANTA Sessions Next Week Offer Chance for Constructive Work and Something Really Noteworthy Is Exprcted to Be Accomplished. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, December 21.—Under the stimu'us and inspiration of Atlanta’s well known hospitality the third annual meeting of the Ball Coaches’ Association ought something really noteworthy next week. N American Foot Membership in this young bod ‘ball instructor in the country and the opportun —in addition to formal speeches and the reading of prepared papers— are correspondingly great. The principa sources of information. One may easily gather that if these objects were faithfully carried out the coac! organization would become a very potent power in the scheme of integcollegiate foot ball. It would mean that individual aims and ambi- tions had been sunk in the larger good of the game, and ethics on and oft the feld would be exalted to a de- groe that now seems chimerical. All indications are that a great ma- Jority of the members of the coaches’ organization will make the trip to At- lanta, and this will be an excellent thing. For In this way, as in no other, the ldeals that have been gain- ing headway in southern foot ball and the. chivalrous standards of rivalry among these Dixie institutions will be clea ly registered upon the minds of men from all sections whose motives are influen 1 and whose actions are constructive. May Discuss Rowing. It is likely enough that the western eonference athletic directors will have some exchanges of thought in tnelr meeting at Atlanta regarding the ad- visability of rowing as an intercol- legiate sport in the middle west. Wis- consin i3 already in the game and will undoubtedly send a varsity crew and probably a freshman eight to Poughkeepsie this coming summer, Minnesota is wavering on the brink of a great decision, and it is as sure &s fate that in good time the Gophers will piace crews on the water. With the proximity of that great national rowing center, Duluth, and the an- nual entrance of men famillar with sweep swinging as students at the Minneapolts institution, an appreci- able aquatic spirit already exists on the banks of the Mississippl and soon- er than one thinks this will be given point. With Minnesota committed it is only & question of time when the mid- die ‘west is challenging the east on the water, as it is now doing in track and foot ball MARYLAND IS LISTED BY W. & L.

DENY GOLF BODIES WILL CONSOLIDATE CHICAGO, December 21.—Publica- tion in a Chicago newspaper of a story to the effect that consolldation of the United States Golf Association and the Western Golf Association might be considered at the annual meeting of the United States Golf Assoclation at New York next month, brought denfal from the presidents of both bodies. _President Frederic Byers of the United States Golf Association sald that no such subject would be taken up at the annual meeting of his or- ganization, while President Charles O. Pfell of the Western Association denied that he had expressed approval of such an amalgamation. Similar reports were printed before the meeting recently of the Western Golf Association, only to be met with denfals and to be proved erroneous when the meeting passed without any reference to consolidation. A committee composed of represen- tatives of the various golf assocla- tions has been considering possible plans for changing and unifying con- “rol of golf in America, but what the committee will report has not been intimated by the members. PITTSBURGH, December 21. Amalgamation of the United States Golf Association and the Western Go f Associatfon and the adoption of uniform rules for the playing of the game have been discussed for some time, but there is nothing definite on the subject at present, J. Frederic Byers, president of the United States Golf Assoclation, announced here. The subjects, he added, would not be considered at the annual meeting of the national organization in New York on January 5 next, because, expliined, it was a question of a change in the constitution, and this would necessitate the usual notifica- tion to members before a vote could be taken. Rules and regulations the game, President Bye “practically uniform toda: MEMPHIS, Tenn., December 21— Charles O. Pfefl, president of the Western Golf Association, stated that he favored an understanding between the various golf assoclations to make possible uniform rules and regula- tions for the paying of the game, but thus far no definite plan has been agreed upon.

That was the story told by a score of amateur athletes from Guatemals, here ns guests of Presi- dent Obregon of Mexico, who spent most of the day besieging the of- ficers of the United Frult Company and every other shipping concern in he city in the hope they might find sransportation back to Central Amer- ica. The athletes reached Mexico City December 5 and had played only four games of their schedule when Adolfo de la Huerta launched his rebellion At Vera Cruz. The visitors were scheduled fo play at Guadalajara, but when fighting began in the vicinity of that city the great fair to be held “hera was called off and with it the athletic events. The Obregon gov- ernment could not send the Guate- malans home directly from Mexico City, so it put ‘or 'New Orleans, through Laredo, Tex. The party is in charge of Carlos ©alma, an attache of the foreign re- lations department of Guatemala. WILL COACH AT CORNELL. ITHACA. N.
