REFORMS IN CONDUCT
OF COLLEGE SPORTS
Lcuvson Robertson Points Out Danger of Curbing Ath'
letic Competition Dr. Meylan Wants Coaches Made
Faculty Members to Insure Permanent Positions
THE thirteenth annual convention of tho National Collegiate Association
Is now in session In New York, and when the athletic directors return
to their ofTlces for the boglnnlnK of the second semester their heads will be
crammed with ideas of reform In tho management of sports, the kind of
sports and eligibility rules. Delegates to the conentlon are- armed with
numerous Ideas on the manner In which the reconstruction period in col
leglate athletics should be conducted, and they hae two das and two
nights In which the can get their thoughts on their mind"!.
The Athletic Research Society went Into session this morning and
will continue In conference until this evening Then the graduate managers
ill gather for their annual discussion. The national delegates will con
vene at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Hotel Astor and will remain
In session until late tomorrow night.
pno of the most Important points which will be brought up for discus
sion concerns mass athletics. There are a number of delegates who are
prepared to malce lengthy speeches on the -value of mass sports, and also
there are quite a few who will point out tho worth and necessity of com
petitive athletics. Among the latter class is 1-awson Kobertson, the Uni
versity of Pennsvlvanla trainer.
Dr. George TU Me Ian, of Columbia, who has been phislcal director
at the Jlornlngslde Heights Institution for n number of vears, Is In favor
of giving more power to the graduate members of the athletic management
He also Intends to urge appointment of coaches at tho various colleges
permanently. Ho contends that this could be accomplished b making the
coaches members of the faculty
IJff. JOSEPH n n.lTCltOFT, of thr mllitaiv trnininy lamp ac
U tiiiUcs commission, ulll enlighten the delegates on how the
commission plans can be adopted by the colleges
Returning Soldiers Must Taper Off Fighting Condition
LIEUTENANT LAWSON ROUEIITSON explained a point concerning
mass athletics and competitive sports to which the delegates will have
to give considerable attention The Pennsvlvanla coach contends that com
petitive athletics are absolutely essential to the well-being of the return
ing soldiers.
"These soldiers who are returning from battlefields," Lieutenant Rob
ertson explained, "are keved up to a high nervous tension. This also is
true to a smaller degree of the men who have been only In the camps here
The soldiers on this side of the Atlantic have been drilled extensively,
although they have not reached tho pitch attained by the soldiers who
liave seen action. Now then, unless this condition Is tapered off to normal
the results arc likely to be serious.
"Tho high tension of the battlefield is reached liow Uj competition.
There Is a smaller nervous strain in sports, competitive sports, and this Is
what Is needed for the tapering off process. In mass athletics there is no
excitement, no nervous tension, although tho sjstcm Is far better than no
exerciso at all. The man who returns from military life to an ofllce and
neglects his exercise is in grave danger of a physical and nervous break
down. Tho Ideal policy, of course, would bo to have every man In com
petitive sports, but this Is Impractical because of tho lack of athletic fields.
Accommodate as many as possiblo on college and club teams and let tho
others follow mass athletics or a definite program of dally exercise.
tjp01t the reasons stated 1 favor the rcilinl of sports not only to
the extent they were carried on in normal timet, but on a
much larger basis."
Meylan Would Mahc Coaches Faculty Members
TVDCTCm MEYLAN, tho Columbia phvslcal director, who has been seven
'-'months and a half with the Trench army giving the benefit of his
services as an expert, believes the reins should be tightened on the man
agement of collegiate athletics. Ho would make the coaches members of
tho faculty, so that thjlr positions would not depend on tho whim of the
undergraduates. Under the old regime a coach who turned out a winning
team "was given his salary and probably n bonus If he failed In his
efforts he was flred. Ofttlmes the coach did not have time to Install his
system for a thorough try-out before ho wus let out by the undergraduate
managers.
"In the decade from 1895 to 1903," Doctor Me) Ian is quoted as saving,
"our college athletics were run on tho loosest kind of a rein All sports
were left to the undergraduates. The faculties not only fi owned on bports,
but in some cases forbade athletics. I would also recommend that every
coach be made a faculty member, and thus be assured of his position The
idea of faculty membership is partially In force at Columbia.
"Take fencing and rowing, for instance. The frequent changing of
coaches tends to the confusion of ideas, and veterans have to trj to unlearn
what they previously have been taught before coming Into tho Ideas of the
new teacher."
Tho University of Pennsvlvanla profited bj the thcor.v of keeping a
coach after he had failed in his first jear In the case of Joe Wright, the
rowing tutor. "Wright came hero from Canada, where ho had a great
leputation as a club coach, but In his first season here the Quaker oarsmen
had a poor season. Wright, however, was retained, and he vindicated the
Judgment of tho Red und Blue authorities last spring when he turned out
one of the fastest crews that ever sat in a college shell And this he did
when tho material on hand was considered poor Incidentally, Penn's 1918
crew was one of the lightest In tho hlstorj of collegiate rowing

Meeting to Adopt College Basketball Schedule
ASIDE from the national session and the various Informal meetings,
there will be a conference of the Intercollegiate Basketball League
officials, and it Is planned to adopt the schedule for the 1919 season. The
list of dates has been drawn up by Ralph Morgan, the secretary of the
league, and it will be placed before the other authorities for approval The
cage season will bo limited and some of tho longer trips eliminated Tho
first game will not be played until January 11. Then the season will run
Xor ten consecutive Saturdays.
Thero will be a meeting of the American Rowing Association In tho
.near future to discuss plans for the spring season This association, which
Is composed of Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Columbia and
Cornell, has no connection with the intercollegiate association, which em.
braces only Pennsvlvanla, Columbia and Cornell, but It has assumed con
siderable prominence since tho Poughkeepsle regattas, which vcre con
ducted by the intercollegiate body, have been eliminated
A suggestion which is to be made at the meeting calls for a race over
a two-mile course in which all tho college crews will take purt Inasmuch
as five or six crews will compete, the contest must be slated, If scheduled
at all, on a course big enough to accommodate such a large Held. This
means that the selection of a course will lie between the Schuylkill and
the Charles River, Boston. The forerunner of this race was held last
spring, when Columbia and Pennsylvania battled Annapolis on the Severn.
Princeton, Cornell, Harvard and Yale were Invited, but were unable to
compete.
If the big race should materialize It probably will not Include more
than five crews. These would represent Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia
and Pennsylvania. Cornell will not have a crew until 1920, and Syracuso also
is out of the Bport for this season. The Navy would not enter a crew
unless the race Is held on the Severn. There is a probability that the con
test will be staged at Annapolis or Princeton, but In such a case the race
would have to be split In heats. This would necessitate two days of racing
I
JOHN flilOirA", tho chairman of the rowing committee at Fenn,
is ono of the delegates to the collegiate conference. He probably
tetll talk over the rotcing situation tilth- officials from other colleges.
The other Pcnn delegates are Dean William McClellan, H. L, Qeyclln
und Dr. Jt. Talt McKemle. '

KNOCKOUT TRIUMPH
Stops Young Erne in Sixth
Round at Olympia Britt
Outfights Mealy at Na
tional DOYLE BEATS WELSH
By JAMES S. CAROLAN
rpiIC Christmas Day programs at the
-- three boxing clubs brought out large
gatherings and resulted In soma high-
class fistic entertainment. Four of the
eighteen battles failed to co tho limit.
but In three of thene-there was all kinds
of action before ono of the gladiators
niiany saia farewell.
While tho crowds were not quite as
large as the ones which packed the three
clubs on Thanksgiving, all three played
to nearly capacity houses. The absence
of champions did not harm tho bills, for
the shows were so well balanced that
tney could not fall to appeal
Tho Oljmpla vvbr sold out, the
National had a good crowd, vvhllo Johnny
Durns's Cambria, us usual, played to Its
capacity.
Willie Jackson, making his first ap
pearance In this city In nearly a ear,
registered a technical knockout over
Oeorgo (Young) Rrne In the final round
of the scheduled six-round battle at the
Olympia
Erne Was Clipped
nrno had held his own for Ave
rounds and was going alone crcat In
the sixth when he neglected to cover his
Jtw and Jackson turned loo'fe that dam
aging right to the chin with such force
that lime went down
Urno heard the referee count three,
then hurriedly leaped to hli feet. Be
foro ho could regain his balance Jack
son pounded him all over the ring. Erne
was blocking many of tho body smashes
vcrj feebly, and Spider Kelly, seeing
tno hopelessness or the cause, tossed a
towel Into the ring.
Benny Valger, just recovering from
Illness, was In poor form and had a
difficult time to earn an even break
with the youthful Franklo Clark, of
thla city. Valger was unaggressive and
Clark wps not In tho leust Inclined to
start any trouble The result was a slow
match which failed to arouse the large
gathering.
Reese-Slosh Entertain
The best fight of the dav was the
Freddy rieese-DIck Stosh affair, which
went six rounds with honors nil In favorj
of Stosh, the former Cleveland boy.1
Iteese dictated the paco for two rounds.
but from that tlmo on Stosh found him. I '
self and showed Iteese many new kinds'
of wallop3 ' i
Stosh had been trnlnlng with Tendler I
for the last month and apparently ab-
sorbed some of tho Tendler fight-1

Mealy Loses
Tho rugged Franko Britt, of Boston,
proved too aggressive for the retiring
Johnny Mealy and was a winner over
the hard-hitting Quaker City boy In
the wind-up at tho National A. A. Britt
forced all the fighting nnd took most of
tho chances He connected often with
some ripping smashes to the body.
Frankle Brown, of New York, was the
hit ft the Bhow. He outfought the
latest local surprise, Young rtobldeau,
In six slashing rounds Robldcau re
cently stopped Kddle Morgan, but
walked Into a neat surprise In tho per
son of Brown, nnd took a lacing for a
