Carnival Tonight : Big Three May Make Gridiron Restrictions ATHLETIC ARISTOCRACY First of Thirty-Seven Events on Bright Card at Con- vention Hall Starts at 7:30 O’clock—Ford- ham Basketers to Visit. BY JOHN B. KELLER. NDOOR track and field enthusiasts will have their innings tonight at Convention Hall. where the twenty-second annual games conducted under the auspices of the Georgetown University Athletic Association will take place. More than 300 athletes, many of international or national reputation, are expected to give Washington the greatest meet of its kind in the history of the sport here. .. With the aristocracy of the track and field world present. the games will have the aspect of pre-Olympic trials. Many stars who were mem- bers of the last Olympic team and whose presence in Uncls Sam’s squad that goes to France in the ssmmer practically is assured are entered. ! In addition to these. there will be at hand considerable talent of slightly Iess note from colleges, schools and clubs. So sizable are the fields for the thirty-seven cvents on the program that the meet in the spacious hall at 5th and L streets must be started promptly at 7:30 o'clock.

Lawregos Perry. 13 cless'y in touch with affairs of the big foot ball affsirs runerally, azslyzas the pressat situation at Yale, some ~a~‘feant facts. k! EW YORK,-February 21.—Just at a time when President Angell of N Yale has made a significant statement concerning the foot ball coaching_ system at the big three universities, Princeton is at a loss whom to select as coach to succeed William Roper in 1925. At Har- vard, Fisher is appointed by the season. It will thus be grasped that, so far as contractual obligations are concerned, Nassau and the Crimson are i not bound to the futare.. And Yale, with Tad Jones, is not obligated for more than another year. The time thus is regarded by not a few influential alumni of Yale, Harvard and Princeton as ripe for what may prove to be a radical change in the conduct of intercollegiate foot ball among these institutions. Not only that, it is known that more than one important seat of learning is ready to gn‘rple not gently with a attaining un legiate life. The past has shown that Harvard, Princeton and Yale have been very influential, not only in the develop- ment of foot ball as a game, but in establishing certain faults that have been found with it as well as in the promulgation of remedies for some of those faults. Hence anything that the big three does in the next twelve months to bring foot ball within what some educators would regard as sane limits is likely to have a constructive effect. Many Are Standpatters. It would be well not to minimize the importance of those among the faculties and alumni of the so-called blg three who are likely to urge that a change be made. Nor would it be altogether a complete presenta- tion of the situation to ignore the fact that on the other hand there are olements, strong elements, in these three universities—among the alumni, that is to say—who would be content with something of a gesture in the dlrection of rcform, but are to all intents and purposes, standpatters. The relative strength of each side cannot now Le aralyzed, but later facts will probabiy be available whereby this may be done. The moat tangible suggestion which searus to emanate from a group of Havard and Princeton alumni is that no coach shall be engaged by Yale, Harvard and Princeton who has been out of college morc than three years. This is to discourage graduates from making a life profession of coaching and throwing the game more defi- nitely into the hands of the under- graduates and the younger alumnt. At Yale there seems to be a ten i i gridiron situation which they feel is lue importance as compared to the essential features of col- dency to return to old methods, where the captain was not only king of his team, but to all intents and purpo: head coach us well: the fact app: ently is ignored that in those days all captats had the benefit of Walter Camp's advice and instructions. Camp was not a head coach in name, but he appears to have been largel mental in Yale's success. Plan is Not Known. Just what plan President Angell of Yale has been proposing to his col- leagues at Princeton and Harvard is not known. In the meantime those associated with the conduct of Prince- ton foot ball have been scrutinizing all available alumni, and. as a fact, have not neglected to canvass outside possibilities. This not so much with a view to anything immediate in the way of naming a successor to Roper, |as a desire to place themselves in pos- session of complete information con- cerning all possibilities and to be in a position to sugges cours action. Princeton’s present problem as it this: Shall she depurt from tradi- tion und select a man s coach who was not a student at Princeton and yet has a national reputation as a man whose failures have been far fewer than his successes? Or shall she take as head coach a New York professional man, a foot ball alumnus who has been able to keep in touch with the modern foot ball trend in the closest possible man- ner; a man who would be able to continue his business and at the same time supervise foot bal shor . 2. 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.8.8.1 Our Famous Annual Event At top—Herligy.

Phillip T. Brasher? Brasher as head coach, and Frank Bergin, who coached for some time with success at Bowdoin and turned out a mighty fine Pelham Bay training station elev en during the war, as field coach? It is said that William Roper's candi- date is Tom Wilson, if he can be se- cured. Or shall Princeton mark time until it is determined whether or not the big three as 2 whole is definitely set along lines as set forth by President Angell of Yale in his Boston address? As to the first it may be said ti sentiment among Princeton alumni probably would be heavily against the sclection of an outside coach, no mat- ter what promise he might give of turning out winners, even aside from all consideration as to the impression this might make upon her two closest friends, Harvard and Yale. cond alternative might well . But, finally, in view of things that are just now 'in the ai it is likely enough that Nassau will mark time, in the meanwhile holding an open mind to wha working up.
