The Leathernecks, 1,500 strong, were to march from the Seventh street railroad station to the stadium, led by a 110- piece band The Coast Guard, due to a superior record for the season, ruled a slight favorite. The Guardsmen were beaten last year and the year before by the Marines Expected to be outstanding figures in the contest were Les Maynard, the Guard's great ball carrier, and George Robertson, the Marines' brilliant kicker N Baltimore, Maryland was to meet Western Maryland in the season's closer for both elevens.

Langford, secretary of the Rules Committee of the National | Collegiate Athletic Association, | “always has acted promptly to | rule out dangerous formations or habits which have entered the game. The members of the com- mittee undoubtedly will continue to strive to make foot ball as safe for the contestants as it is hu- manly possible for any vigorous sport of physical contact to be. “But I do not believe that the com- mittee will be stampeded into any drastic changes in the rules, because of certaln shocking accidents. First, it will consider whether the rules were in any measure to blame. In certain in- stances, it is plain that they were not. Naturally, the committee keeps closer watch of such things and devotes more thought, to them than does almost any other body or individual. Accident Percentage Small. “Foot ball has a small percentage of serfous accidents,” continued Mr. Lang- ford. “I never have stopped to figure just how many men and boys are play- ing the game, but it should be safe to say that, from coast to coast, there are 15,000 boys on varsity squads. Then there are the scrub teams, the 150- pound teams, the class, fraternity, house and other teams connected with intra- mural foot ball, the high school and preparatory school teams, the gram- mar school teams, the sandlot teams, TS 5| SANDWICH TO THE PLANYER The argu- | But 7ue TarseT FOR.

Walker and thereby became match champlon of the District of Columbla. 1t probably was the hardest fought and most interesting game of | the serles, hoth | players taking full | time. the professional teams and various other teams. The total of players must be very large. So I say that the per- centage of serious accidents is very | small. “There always will be some accidents in any of the more virile sports. They have them in base ball, hockey, polo, automobile and motor boat racing, ice boating, and even in golf and tennis. But a sport grows dangerous only when the proportion of serious injuries gets too high. This condition does not now exist in foot ball, although they charge against the game such cases as that of the youngster who was kicking a foot ball in the street, slipped, and hit his head on the curb. The game was scarce- ly to blame for that.” Committee Does Well. 1t does look as if the Rules Commit- tee had done its best. Rules have been made against mass formations, pulling | and pushing, clipping, roughing a kicker or receiver who is in a helpless posi- | tion, piling up, crawling with the ball, and many other things lable to pro- duce injuries.

ATLANTA, Ga., December 5—Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech, former president of the National Foot Ball| Coaches Association, does not believe the substitution of a tee for foot ball kick-off will lessen the danger in this spectacular feature of the game. The suggestion that & mound be used in place of allowing a player to hold the ball in position for the kick-off was | mtade by Tom Thorpe, foot ball official Thorpe held the use of the mound would give added height and distance | to the kick, enabling the defensive | players to get down field quicker and dving the offensive team less time to orm a flying wedge.

Southern training trips by Illinois, Michigan and | occasionally other teams, have been fea- tures of the season, but the expense was considered too great to be borne. Illinois relay carnival was dropped after Athletic Director George Huff learned that schools which previously had en- tered teams could not afford to do so this year, , The Ohio outdoor relay meet also was dropped. George Gibson of Pittsburgh is an- other who proves they can come back. And Gib comes back over a tough road. | from a club he is rarely recalled. Gibson and the rest of them will have a long, hard Summer in the Na- tional League race when it comes to a matter of overtaking the flying Cardi- nals. With Carnera headed for Italy and Campolo moving back to Argentina,| the weight pressure on the United States will be lifted considerably and there will be little danger of earth compression from now on. Foot ball teams and foot ball play- ers are too often judged by one big game. None of them are super men. And there are no super teams.
