MAXWELL Spert editor Kvenlnc Public ledger FOOTBALL coaches from nil parts of ihe ceuutr met in New erk the ether night and talked ever tome proposed changes iu the rules for 1021!. Thsy held a long session ami, outside of exchanging lcws en various topics, nothing definite was done. In fact, nothing could be done. The Ttulcs Com mittee, which Is nn entirely different organization, meets iu March and taKci official action. The New Yerk gathering merely offered suggestions, teme Botse geed, but net te bad. , Fpr some reason or ether the fcubjert of clipping from behind came up. Seme of the highly cieltnblp gentlemen urged that a rule be made which pro hibits clipping cen from the side, but this did net meet with much favor. Other drastic changes were lest In the shuffle, se the geed old game remains the same as before. In regard te clipping, nc don't beliee ant further change In the rule Is necessary. The players are net doing it H) much as beterc. nccnus'e tncy are, being coached te eliminate the practice. It was net necessary for the officials te Inflict severe penalties, because there were few Infractions. In the college games In which we officiated last season v did net see a single case where u man was clipped from behind. At a football official' meeting bjlcl iu the Hetel Stenton recently, out of twenty men present, only sU wer forced te penalize players for delating the rule. Next year It will be less than that. There is no doubt that clipping from behind bns no place In football. However, If the suggestions of some of the coaches nre tnken serieuslj . the lame will suffer. An interfcrer v. ill net be allowed te leave Ms. feet te dive at tackier and long runs -xv 111 be frequent. Diving Interference has helped the jrAme because it almost has eliminated holding and illegal use of hand. The Idea is te prevent permanent Injury te a plnyer nhen he is entirely out of the play and an opponent comes up from behind, dives Inte his legs and knocks blm down. This is entirely unnecessary and has been stepped te a great extent. Hitting n man from the side or from the freut, however, is au important part of football, and the best thing for the coaches te de Is te lav ff that feature. They would be the first te utter shrieks of pretest If a change remade. FURTHER protection for the ferirard passer is a poed idea, find increasing the penalty for a defensive man interfering icith a fei caid pass also should be done. etc Against Professional Football PROFESSIONAL football also was dteuscd. and the coaches voted te eliminate it as far as possible. Dr. Jehn W. AVilce, of Ohie State, moved that "professional football, in the opinion of the meeting, wab detrimental te the best Interests of American football and American youth, and that the football coaches lend their Influence te discourage tbe professional gams." VTe held no brief for professional football, but if any one can tell us hew k.ls detrimental, te the best interest of American youth we will be much obliged. The coaches have taken a one-sided slant at the game, have shown a riarre-mIndc8nesS which nobody ever believed possible and made thorn -telves loek1 .ridiculous. . The coaches haven't a chance in the world te dis courage the professional game. Let It' be understood that we are for college football from start te finish. Ibis the grqn.des,t cleanest and nie.t sportsmanlike game that is played, and Be,tbng,caq take its place. The hundreds of thousands will continue te wit ness the important contests, and the sport has become se popular that Yale irjUnds te increase the seating capacity of the bowl te 119,000. Pcnn is Jnstaljlng new stands which will seat 50,000, and there has been some talk of Increasing the capacity of the stadiums at Princeton and Harvard. Profes sional football cannot hurt the college game and never will. Therefore, the lead talk Is very much out of tune. Lee Conway, who, successfully managed the Philadelphia Quakers last season and stands out as the only man who was able te stage professional gridiron battles in this city for two years in succession, has something te say about the recent uprising. CJT IS the public, net the football coaches, ichich mil decide the fate ' of professional football." said Conway. "If former college play ers get up a team, play everu veeck and the public expresses a desire te tee the garnet, then tee icill have pre football, VTe played here jivn flraight Saturdays, and mere than 60,000 paid te sec the contests. - That means the game is popular. "Farcical" Is Opinion of Conway "A COLLEGE player is through after three years en the varsity. He is CI supposed te be a retired veteran at the age of twenty-one. Judging from the arguments of the coaches in New Yerk, he will be the same as a burglar, or some lawbreaker if he plays football after that. If that's a square deal, It's a funny one. The coaches wish te control the men net only while they are in college, but after they get out. "There has been some talk of taking away the college letters fiem th njen who play the professional game after leaving school. The players should worry about that. If a football player is offered $250 a game for ten games he will consider the offer. He can get mere with the $2500 than the collego letter. Te me the entire thing is farcical. "Profebsienal football is all right in its place. Ne attempt has been made te oppose the college games. In the West they play en Sundays, and in Philadelphia the important games are staged in December and en days when Penn Is away. If former players wish te continue te play they should be allowed, the same as In baseball. They have their living te make, and you can jet mere at the corner grocery with u 52500 contract than with'n colfcge letter. "Only men who have completed their college courses are eligible for places en my teams." continued Conway "I will net even talk te a man who still , Is in school and wants te sneak away te play a couple of games. These men are detrimental te the gam aiid will net be handled. "I have been criticized for using Glenn Kllllnger in the Canten game two j weeks age. Kllllnger was through with athletics at Penn State. He graduates ! in February, was ineligible for basketball and, anyway, was all set te sign a i contract te play baseball with the.New Yerk Yankees. He had a perfect right te play a professional game if he wanted te,' nnd the Penn State authorities have net entered a pretest. PROFESSIONAL football is here te slay, and the eellege coaches cannot put the game out of business." Bill Brennaji Kicks In With Seme Startling News 3 NOW that Fredward Fulton Is en the trail of Jack Dempsey, B0d was , 'anxious te get a match with hlni that h went te Nciv Yerk when be Vnew the champion was in California. Bill Brennan, through bis astute man ager, Lee P. Flynn. has ist-ucd a lefi te the titlebelder. Lee flings a nasty typewriter and here is the latent offering, which he wishes us te publish freu gratis and for nething: "Have you a h'eavywelgbt who has net been flattened by Bill Brennan, Jack Dempscy's only obstacle? "Dees your town beast of an aniVliVjs pugilist who imagines he is an other Dempsey iu the rough?

Why de tbey fear the Irish giant? BIX REASONS WHY DEMPSEY &nOCLD GIVE BRENDAN- A CHANCE "1 Brennan has lasted longer with Dempsey than Geerges Carpentler, Fred rulten. Jen. Willard.

"1. Bill came closer te Lneckiug out Dempsey than any human alive. Brennan staggered the Manassa mauler repeatedly In their Madisen Square Garden battle. Jack also received a cauliflower ear. "5. Brennan is confident that be can knock out Dempsey la another mach. "6. Every champion has a Nemesis. Besides being the possessor of the greatest knockout record ever compiled by a heavyweight in the history of pugilism, Brennan has the distinction of being Jack Dempsey's Nemesis. If the New Yerk battle bad been ten rounds te a decision, Bill Brennan would have been crowned heavyweight champion of the world. Fer ten rounds Dempsey was battered, bruised, cut, bleeding, punch-drunk, groggy and a pitiful loekliig spectacle. Dempsey wat, forced te use an Illegal blew te defeat Brennan." OCR memory might be at fault, but it items te us that Dcmpsiy onee hit Brennan en the jate se hard that the btew sprained hit ankle, and the K. O. tn A Yerk teas the second administered ie Bill.
