OOT BALL in all sections F seems to be reaching a sute; of balance wherein no one | section has a monopoly on[ the strong teams. Some 15 or 20/ years ago, it was the East, nm! part of the country north of the | IMason-Dixon line and ecst of the | Alleghanies, that held sway; then the balance of strength shifted to the Middle West, then the Far West. Until the lost two years the South brought up the back end, but now, if games this year | are to be accepted as criterion, | there is not much difference In the foot ball played in any par-| ticular place from that played somewhere else. This situation has come about through the working of several factors. Coaches coming together for conferences have exchanged ideas freely, until now the fundamental processes of developing & | foot ball squad are about the same cverywhere. In other words, there is not a moncply on goad coaching in any r2 no longer radical- sy:toms. Another | universities cnd colleges | themselves have com> to realize that! quality of compeiition is the lfe of | sport, and regulations and conditions. have been set up to govern everything | in connection with the game, so that conditions under which they comreu are more nearly equal than ever before. ‘Then again, with the constantly numbe high and played fcot ball is balancing the mate- rial in colleg lea. R!GHT now th does not seem to be very much difference betwesn the kind of foot ball played in one section from that played in any other. For a while it ulh?od the Far West vy Sfar.

Plans called for the match of two undefeated conference teams in & post- season game to decide the champion- | ship. A Minnesota victory over Wis- consin would ruin such a match, as the Gophers meet Northwestern's unde- lfeated Wildcats next week at Evanston.

Striving to kesp his Wildcats from becoming too over-confident, Coach Dick Hanley of Northwestern drilled his players for Illinois. Defense was stressed. At Illinois, Coach Bob Zuppke was making changes at guard,-tackle and fullback in a hurried effort to keep up his record of turning in at least one big upset a year.

U IS PLANNING CHANGES IN RULES Elimination of Two-Mile Run Indoors, Standing Jumps Among New Ideas. EW YORK, October 28.— More than 100 amendments affect- ing the constitution, by-laws and athletic rules of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, which will come up for consid- eration at the A. A. U. convention in Kansas City, November 15, 16, 17, are | contained in the report of the Legisla- | tion Committee, mailed yesterday to the 400 delegates of the organization. ‘Though many of the proposed changes are of minor importance, several call | for radical departure from the present | rules. One proposal is to change the | date of the annual convention from following the National A. A. U. track and fleld championships. Another pro- posed change would eliminate the standing broad and standing high jumps and two-mile run from the na- tional championship indoor program, substituting one-mile and three-mile races and the running broad jump. Another proposed change, called rev- olutionary, would permit man swim- mers to compete in tights and women swimmers to compete in one-plece suits. The idea is to produce faster times in races. The camp counselor, according to another ruling, would be placed in the same class with lifeguards, bath and playground attendants, and athletes el in these occupations would be ineligible for 90 days after they aban- | don this work. | A change in the timing rules would require timekeepers to have their | watches certified within three days after record performances which they clock.
