And Ilelsmau'.' He is the man who put Georgia Tech's star in the football firmament. His football coaching won him fame North, Kast. South and West. In the same breath ns Georgia Tech recalls Helaman as coach to the fo6tball memory, the Atlanta institution take it for granted that its pro fessor in football will return to his duties ncM fall. That it Is taken for granted at Georgia Tech that Heisman will direct the destinies of football on the same southern gridiron In 1919 it attested by a recent announce ment that he has been re-engaged to coach the team. As a matter of fact, Heisman has not signed a contract to coach the Golden Tornado eleven In 1919. This bit of news leaked out at the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of America in New York. In fact, Heisman. after subjecting himself io cross-examination, admitted that he had not signed n. contract to the gridiron eleven next fail. "They just take it for gi anted "I have not signed a contract to coach the team. I ma agtee to return, but thus far no definite action lias been taken.

It was pointed out by several of his admirers and close acquaintances at the meeting of collegiate athletic solons In New York that John W. Heisman is deeply inteiested In a movlng plcture project, which, if it is put ocr, probably would require all of his time. Coach Heisman would not discuss indication as to what he intended to do In 1919, but he admitted mat Georgia Tech had not received his signed mntract for the net football campaign. The football mentor of the Georgia eleven, though not under contract to coach Georgia Tech. acted in a sfmioIllcI.il capacity at the New York meeting.

Xovember 15. I Favors Elimination of MANT games were decided on the gridiron during the last season bj a margin of a point, and In mot cases the deciding point was registoied through the medium of a goal after touchdown. Wilmer C'rowell, foimer I.afayetto coach and noted gridiron official, says he does not bellevo the points made from goals after touchdown conform with the spirit of football. "More than one big game was won or lost by one point," said Crow ell. "and I do not think it is real football. Of course, it requires accuiacy, but 'It is not always fair. You know, football was made to be plajed bv eleven men on each team. In kicking a goal after touchdown only two enter into the play the man holding the ball and the pl.iver assigned to do the kicking. It requires no great physical effoit and accuiacy alone is what "counts. A drop-kick or goal from the fie'd is much different, for every man on the team has some purt to play in making the effort a success. .1 "I do not think It Is real football. Again, the team that is fortunate .enough to plant the ball squarely behind yhe goal posts has a chance to kick the goal from a perfect position, but the team which makes its touch Mown at a distant corner is placed at a great disadvantage that of the fklck-out, the catch, then the try at goal A touchdown, whether made (behind the goal or a, the extremities of the goal line, counts M: points. ;The attempt at goal.

The faction favoring the abolition of the professional coach has as Its most able supporters Dean J. R. Angell, of the t'nlverslly of Chicago, In the west, and Dr. Joseph B. Itaycioft, of Princeton, a member of tho War Department Com mission on Training Camp Activities, In the cast, both of whom recommended Immediate and radical changes In the present system of college athletics. Dean Angell was unable to be present at the convention, but he prepared a paper on tho subject of "Itcconstructlon Program for Phjalcat Education In tho Colleges" which was read by Dean Small, another member of tho Chicago faculty. Defines Amateur He pointed out that under the profes sional coach, collegiate athletics bordered on professionalism. He placed a now definition on the amateur when ho said an athlete sacrificed amateurism when ho went Into a game to win by any means or at any cost. The Chicago dean, as did Dr. Haycroft, suggested that In place of tho profes sional coach, an athletic Instructor be appointed for the entire year and bo ab solutely responsible only to the univer sity heads. It Is Ills p)anto make the coach an all-j ear-round member of the faculty. Unless there Is a sudden change of heart and sentiment it will not be many years before such a system as recom mended by tho "radicals" will he In. 8lalleJ at all of our big universities and colleges. Already the forerunners of tne cnange are noticeable Dr. Al Shaipo, of Cornell, Is virtually a member of the faculty. He Is an all-year-round man and coaches the foot ball, basketball and baseball teams. But there are few men of the Al Sharpe type.

Under the new system Sharps Is the kind of a man who will be In the greatest de mand, There Is an example of a year-round man at Swarthmore. Dr. Leroy Mercer, former Penn All-American fullback, coaches tho football team and the track athletes and trains nil other Meams. At Chicago Alonzo A. Stagg Is another coach of the same type. Hugo Bezdek, former Oregon coach, was appointed last year as athletic di rector at Penn State. He coached the football eleven and provod Invaluable In Installing a system of mass athletics, which was hlghlv successful. He also will devote some time to the baseball team, although his duties as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates will limit his time at Penn State. Robby a Year Man Lawson Itobortson, at Pennsylvania, Is fast becoming a man of the Sharps type, despite tho fact that he coaches only the track athletes. Robertson trains all the athletic teams, and In the future, as he did before he was called Into the service, he will give consider able attention to group athletics. He spends the entire academic year at the university The reformers are after coaches who are capable of training the mass. They do not see the necessity nor thu wisdom of paying high salaries to Instructors who train only a few and ns they ex press it, that particular few d not need especial attention. The suggestions made by Dean Small for Dean Angell aud the remarks of Doctor Itaycroft were greeted with en thusiasm and the general opinion seemed to stamp approval on the recommenda tions, but tho National Association has no power to make such changes. It can only suggest, but its suggestions carry the weight of forceful backing.
