i Coaches PORTS . WHAT OPINION EXPRESSED SEES TILT AS STAND-OFF N. C. A. A. Would Have Foot Ball Mentors Become Members of Faculty~—Rules of Fall Pastime May Go Unchanged for Long Time. BY H. C. BYRD, EW YORK, December 31.—Less interest is being shown, for one reason or another, ai Tournament of Roses foot than has ever been known. on the coast has been the chief and whenever a group of coaches course, they are interested in the game, speak of it, and some have partisan feeling about the outcome, but as for it being a 8 ltl'Ol'lll¥ matter of extreme interest, they way or another. Coaches among the Northern schools and Middle Western uni- versities are only mildly interested and seldom express any theught sbout the game, except when asked, and then usually say they do not know much about either eleven. Soythern coaches are interested in Alabama and think it _should win. It is said, tco, that Far Western coaches are not bothering about the game so | much this year, and especially is this true of California men. It is intimated by some that California people would have been much more “het up” over the possibilities and probabilities of the game had one of the California teams Tepresented the Pacific Coast. And in like measure it is entirely possible that Northern elevens would have felt just a ljttle closer to the contest had a North- ern eleven gone West. Neutral opinion, what there is of it, seems to be that the elevens are well | matched, and that the game will belong | W the team that gets the breaks. It is | not Telt that either should win a big | margin. i swever, there is one factor that seems to be lost H?h! of, which is that Ala- | a probably will be more acelimated ashington State and may have an advantage in the weather, especially if the day is very warm. Washington State ought almost to be at the same disadvantage against Alabama that one of the Northern elevens would be against ene of the California schools. Southern coaches think Alabama should win, while Northwestern men, familiar with Washington State man- wer, say they do not care how strong fllul is—it cannot be any stronger than Washington State, and that Wash- ington BState has at least an even chanoe. IN group meetings yesterday of men directly interested in managing the affairs of the National Collegiate Athletic Association it became evident that determined efforts will be made to have foot ball coaches become members of the faculty in each institution in which they are working, with full faculty rank. This, it is felt, should make the coach feel a greater respon- sibility to the institution and become more closely associated with the faculty and with those responsible for the educatienal program. This probably has been a subject for discussion here this to a mueh greater extent than any atter. es themselves feel they would rather have the more stable status faculty members, even if their might not_be quite so large as now receive. It is rather surprising see the type of men who are coaches, and they seem to be much more on the erder of successful business men than the type usually thought of as a ccach or professional trainer of any kind of athleties. And, incidentally, there is no other profession in which the members of that profession are more interested in their work and more ready to seize gmn anything that should enable them make progress. AT the foot ball rules will be very | little, if any, changed when play starts next Fall is assured. The officials first went on record as opposed to any changes, the eoaches did the same thing, and yesterday E. K. Hall, chairman of the Foot Ball Rules Com- mittee, came out flatfooted with the statement that there would be virtually no alterations in the code for some time to come. He holds that the ruies as they now stand are very satisfactory. Hail says that the one problem now before the Rules Committee is to so | codify the rules and so clarify lhcm} that there may be little possibility of | misunderstandings and that there may be no ambiguities. | IVERSITY OF VIRGINIA people, including Dr. Voshell, chairman of the athletic board, and Jimmy Driver, director of athletics, have been here for two days in an effort to get Bill Roper, at Princeton for several to take eharge of foot ball at m next Fall. r;.‘ul Abell, who has coached the last two years, and whose contract had another year to run, has been paid his salary in full and will not be at Virginia again. Neither Roper nor any of the Virginia authorities have an; definite to say concerning the situation. Virginla wants Roper and is trying hard to get him. It believes that Rover, with his inspiring methods, should be 'able to bring Virginia foot ball back to a high plane. Dr. James R. Angell, president of Yale University, is one of the speakers on the program of the National Collegiate Athletic Association today. Dr. Angell is to talk generally about problems of ccllege athletics.

EW YORK, December 31—Big Bill Tilden has come to the end of the trail of amateur tennis. ‘The movies have called him. A dominant figure in world tennis for more than a decade, Tilden in- formed the United States Lawn Tennis Association yesterday that he was re- tiring from amateur competition to accept a contract with the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation. The con- tract ecalls for a series of short films on tennis subjects, with the Philadel- phia veteran in the leading role. Since the films are to be devoted to tennis, Big Bill automatically is disqualified froma competing under the rules gov- erning amateurs. Tilden's decision closely parallels a similar one reached recently by Bobby Jones emperor of golf. Jones also de- cided to give up amateur competition to make golfing films. There was one big difference, however. Jones retired while he still was monarch of all he surveyed. Tilden has passed the peak and has been forced to stand by in recent years and watch some of the greatest prizes of tennis fall into the hands of youynger players, notably the French. triumvirgte of Henri %ochel, Rene Lacoste and Jean Borotra. Chiefly America held thre Big Bill's efforts, the Davis Cup for seven years, between 1920 and 1926, but the Prench broke through in 1827 and have withsteod all challenges since. Became Champ in 1918. Tilden, who will be 38 in February, won his first national title in 1918 when he captured the clay court cham- pionship and teamed with Vincent Richards to win the American doubles crown as well. In 1920 he won the British singies title, the first American to accomplish that feat, and later in the same year dethroned “Little Bill” Johnston as American singles cham- pion. He then ruled American singles cluyers for six years before Lacoste e through in 1026. Lacoste repeated in 1927 and Cochet in 1928, but Tilden came back to win the title for the seventh time. In the last championship he was eliminated in the semi-final round by John Hope Doeg of Santa Monica, Calif, who then went to win the_title. Counted out of the picture several years ago, where competition with the | French aces was concerned. Big Bill amazed the sport world by wading through a strong field at Wimbledon last Summer to win his third British | singles title. i GONZAGA REGULARS WIN Two Late Goals Prove Undoing of Alumni by 28 to 25.

An inereasing tendency “to develop professional standards for players,” with “great emphasis upon winning," was noted in a report outlining athletic problems found in the country's 69 land grant colleges, which were studicd for three years in a general education survey. ‘These colleges, which reported re- ceipts of hundreds of thousands of dol- lars annually from foot ball games, were urged to stop relying upon ath- letics for su and maintenance of their health programs. The office of education recommend- ed the health work be financed the same as any other educational depart- ment d urged each institution to make a “thorough and frank study of these situations, with a franker facing of their responsibilities toward their student bodies.” Passipg of control of athletic acti ties from the students to administrative officials was cited in the report, which dealt primarily with problems arising from foot ball enthusiasm among the students, alumni and administrative authorities.

DAILEY United States Lawn Tennis Prestdent Lmie““}“-“;; ! 1930 has been one of distinct progress in the affairs of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, and 1931 gives every indication of accelerating this con- structive pace. I believe thai the com- ing 12 months will witness a growth in the larity of tennis and an advance 1o B amimustrative progress of the national association compared to which the records of former vears will appear insignificant. Personally, I am happy to state that I have derived much pleas- ure from the work of the administration and my association with the other offi- cers and ghatrmen of numerous com- mittees. The past year has been notable for the rise of the younger players to cham- pionship heights and the resultant in- terest, both In tournaments and in the titular events in which they competed The records of such remarkable young layers as Doeg, Shields, Wood and But- ar argue well for the continuance of the high plane of tennis play which has made the United States famous through past decades. Resists Comercialism, Close upon the heels of players of this callber comes a host of younger layers. ‘To mention a few, Gledhill, ines, Coen, Paret, Barry Wood and Bryan Grant, jr., many of ‘whom hold equa! promise. The entry for the na. tional junior and hoy indoor champion ships, with more than 300 competitors ranging in age from 12 to 18 years, was the ‘:ll"lll ever received for these events. The United States Lawn Tennis As- sociation has, like all other amateur of the times to commercialize sports. I have tm:—nouuy steadily resisted this ceondi , and it has and will be in the , | future met with the same spirit and ideals of amateur sport which have gov- erned tennis and the conduct of the game by this association in the past. I need only mention one ineident during 1030 wherein a prominent player was severely disciplined by the U. 8. L. T.

There must be a continuance of the clos:st scrutiny in the matter of travel- ing expenses allowed players under our amateur rule. We must not over em- phasiz: international play and we must stress the desirability of more in seciional play. We must strive for the greatest harmony and player co-opera- ton on teams which represent this country abroad. As the representa- tives of this great Nation, in a broader sense than mere tennis players, there must be 100 per cent amateur sports- manship and a willingness to sink in- dividualism for the benefit of the team's success. There must also be a stricter adherence to and enforcement of the International Lawn is Pederation regulations, not only on the part of the players, but by associations as well Laxity in this respect this year is en- gaging our attention at this moment. ersonally, 1 would go further in restrictive provisions than either the International Pederation or the Davis Cup regulations provide at this time. I believe that not more than 60 days should be allowed for the playing of Davis Cup interzone and challenge round tics, including the time necessary for traveling abroad. I further believe that no player should be chosen to represent us for more than three successive years, regardless of his playing ability at the close of such a perjod following collegiate precedent. Perhaps four years' service on interna- tional teams, not necessarily in succes- sion, may be a little less radical, but some move in this direction should be made.

The ,nl'lll and undergrad- uates began meeting on the court an- nually in 1917, but until 1920 the games were informal. ‘There always has been rivalry between the two, and most of the games have been real struggles.

Hall, chairman of the National Foot Ball Rules Commit- tee, declared in his annual report to the National Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation, in convention hcre, Hall's report traced the three main phases thl'o‘:lfllh which the gridiron code has passed, namely the 1906-20 period of fundamental chang the 1020-27 period of perfecting chang:s, and the 1927-30 period of recodification, as a result of which he asserted the rules now seem satisfactorily standardized. “T am gure I represent the unanimous opinion of th: members of the commit- tee when I state that it is their belief the period of real changes in the rules, and by that I mean changes that mate- rially affect the style or natur: of play, is for the time being at least at an end,” the chairman’s report stated. Should Be Standardized. “The rules should be standardized substantially as they are and future changes should he restricted to those which make for greater safety to the layers, better sportsmanship or further improvement of the toxt, and to changes that seem clearly to be necessary to maintain the balance and the integrity of the game substantially as it stands today Explaining the recodification of the rules, effective for 1930, Hall's report ed: “In working out this rearrangement of the ryles, your committee made vari- ous minor changes solely in tr» in- terest of s'mplicity and consistency. It is possible at when the eommittee comes fogether at its next meeting it will find that the experience o t season calls for a few further similar perfecting changes. It would be quite l’!lllrkllst, I think, if this were not the case.” The Recodification Cofamittee, whose work won widespread approval in the ranks of foot 1l players, coaches, writers and spectators, isted of Hall, W.

Palmer, _director of athletics at Haverford (Pa.) College, and F. A, Lambert, well known Ohio official. Delving into the history of the rules making, the Hall report explained: “By the year 1920 your committee felt that practically all, if not all, of the necessary fundamental changes had been made. Mass momentum plays had been eliminated, the premium on mere weight had been largely removed, injuries had been greatly reduced, the forward pass had been developed to point where it held the secondary de- fense in cheek sufficiently to make a running attack possible, infractions of the rules were the exception 'rather than the rule, and the general sports- manship of the game and the players had been raised to a much higher level, The game had become a distinctly of one, and the strategy of the attack been greatly broadened. “Meanwhile, however, the general f the rules book remained . * % * The result was in- evitable; the rules became complicated and cumbersome. This condition became even worse during the following seven years (1920-27). For during this period your committee undertook to work out the various minor changes and refine- ments which seemed necessary to round out the open game developed through earlier fundamental changes. Should Be Completed. “In 1927 your eommittee felt that the task set the committee for remodeling the game had been essentially com- pleted, and that the time had come for a standardization of the game and for an entire rewriting of the rules.” The process of recodification, the re- port explained, was spread over more than three years, involved many meet- ings and six drafts of the rules before they finally were considered satisfactory for publication. “The rules themselves never will be ‘simple,’” the report concluded. “The game is a complicated game, and it will never he possible to cover in a mere primer every conceivable combination of facts that may arise on the playing field. There is no reason, however, why any one with a reasonable familiarity with the text and a fair n of the rudiments of the game not only should understand the rules but be able readily to find the provisions governing any specifie play.” NEW BASKET LEAGUE NOW BEING PLANNED Unlimited Organization Expects to Complete Details at Meeting Friday.
