Naval etiquette, the kind one sees
en a man-of-war. will be in vogue at
the Portland Motorboat Club festivities
In the future, it the plans of the new
board of directors materialize. For
some time in the past the members or
th8 club have been trying to put . into
effect the various naval formalities,
but never before was the opportunity
so evident than now. according to the
leading spirits of the rsanization.
To go on a man-of-war and see the
naval etiquette is a grand sight, said
George J. Kelly, secretary and treas
urer of the club, while explaining the
desires of the board of directors, and
it is our wish to have these same for
malities put Into effect in the Portland
Motorboat Club. By that we do not
mean that the members of the club
should get down on their knees when
addressing the commodore, but the for
malities which go with naval system
of salutes will be tried out,
"The time that the etiquette will be
observe particularly is on days of re
gpttaa and cruises. On regatta days
the commodores flagship shall be su
preme and a salute must be obeyed.
Aides will be appointed as at present
Regatta Cnanicea Proposed.-
"Several new changes are in store
In regard to the methods used in con
ducting regattas. Heretofore we have
held races on five or eight-mile lap
tracks, but it is our desire that at no
time should the race go out of sight
of the grandstand or Judges' stand this
year and that will necessitate a smaller
territory." . . .
A campaign for membership will be
conducted soon with the idea of pro
curing associate members. In Seattle
the motorboat club has more than 600
associate members.
The racing schedule for the season
will be posted before the opening day.
so that members can arrange and make
preparations to attend two or three
months in advance. The board of di
rectors meet this week, at which time
lal the chairmen of the various com
mittees will be chosen. The chairmen
will be allowed to select their own as
sociates, so that harmony will be as
. sured. . .
The Portland Motorboat Club has had
a varied career since Its existence.
Seven years ago George J. Kelly in
stilled into the heads of several motor
boat owners the need of having some
organization. Mr. Kelly rigged up a
houseboat and presented it to the 'WIl
limette Motorboat Club, which later
changed its name to the Portland Mo
torboat Club.
Mr. Kelly First Commodore.
At that time he owned The Judge,
but later purchased the Alloha. .which
he sold last Summer. The Alloha was
a trunk curtain cabin cruiser and one
of the best on the river at that time.
Mr. Kelly was not the only member
of the Kelly family who was enthu
siastic about the motorboat club. He
was elected the first commodore and
his wife was chosen as first president
of the women's auxiliary.
Mrs. Kelly is some skipper herself
and understands gas engines and how
to pilot them. When she is at the
.wheel George Is nothing but the oiler.
Kenneth Beebe, newly-elected com
modore to succeed W. H. Gray, has in
his possession the Tomboy and he is
a big man among the members of the
organization. He has taken an active
part in all the activities of the club,
but this la his first attempt at a pub
lic office.
C. W. Boost Is owner of The Arti
san and this U his second season as
vice-commodore. L. M. Myers is one
of the hardest workers among the va
rious members of the club and he has
been chairman of the regatta commit
tee both at Astoria and in Portland
J. J. Carter Chief Entertainer.
Joseph J. Carter has had charge of
the entertainment and social end of the
club for some time. He is quite a mu
sician and his main aim is to have
several musical numbers on each pro
gramme. He Is part owner of the
Keno.
Dr. Chartea, E. Hill has been fleet
surgeon for more than four years and
he has been chairman of the entertain
ment committee for three seasons. His
greatest help was at the time Johnny

Direction or Game by Sending of
Players to Team Simply to Bear

" Plan Is Favored.
Br EDWARD H. BUSHNELL,.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16. (Special.)
The Intercollegiate Football Rules
Committee will meet in New York early
in February, the exact date not yet
being decided on, and for the first time
in a good, many years this session
promises to consider the ethics of the
game rather than cnanges in tne ruiea.
Some changes will be proposed in the
playing rules, but for the most part
tlve gridiron legislators are well satis
fled with the technical side of the game
. It now is certain that pressure will
be brought to bear upon the commit
tee to bring about twojmportant re
forms. One is to prevent the abuse
vulaa nAPmittinff RIlhMtltUtlOnS.
to put an end to the present practice
of sending In substitutes more to carry
Instructions from the coach to the
quarter back or captain than to re
lieve exhausted or injured players. The
rules of the game expressly prohibit
side line coaching, yet In all the big
games of the 1914 season coaches sent
a procession of substitutes, many of
,them for no other reason than to
carry messages.
'coachea Try Subterfuge.
The writer has made a close study
of the evil of side line coaching and
was one of the first to suggest that
coaches be compelled to remain on the
bench or off the field entirely, during
a lame. fhat suggestion was Incor
porated into the rules a year ago and
worked "out satisfactorily during the
1914 season. But the Rules Commit
tee, after closing one door to the vlo-'
i . .i,iii,in.iir l ift wide. oDen an
other which made side line coaching
even more effective than it was with
the coach on the side lines. The coaches
adopted the simple expedient of send
ing in troops of substitutes for no
other reason than to carry Instruc
tions to the field general.
This was done in virtually all of
the championship games and the offi
cials were powerless to stop It. ' As
long as a player is permitted to re
enter the game after having once been
taken out a coach, can take a great
many chances to send in messages and
if he has plenty of substitutes, as most
of the big teams have, he can make a
great many changes without weaken
ing his team. -
. ktmendrd Rule Favored.
If the fairness of this practice were
put squarely up to the average college
coach he would admit that he was vio
lating the spirit of the rules and do
ing an unsportsmanlike act. Since it
is evident that the practice cannot be
stopped without legislation the rules
ought to be amended so that this
evil would be eliminated. The ev
could be abolished by keeping all
members of the coaching staff off
the bench and without the enclosure
during a game, just as always has
been done in track athletics, or if this
be considered too drastic amend the
rules so that a man once taken from
the game either cannot return, as tie
rules once provided, or that some check
shall be Placed on w"""1"""- -writer
has discussed this evil with a
good many coaches, officials and col
lege authorities. Most of them have
admitted frankly the evil but not all
agree on the best way to correct it.
But the following suggested changes
fn the rules regarding substitute, and
their use in.making possible side line
coaching represent s con-eneu, of the
best thought on- the Sect. Three
suggestions are advanced to prevent
side fine coaching through the medium
of substitutions:

saysr "I doubt much if the proposed
rule to regulate the substitution of
players would reach the point. In fact.
I do not believe that the use of sub
stitutes to carry messages can be ab
solutely prevented. Even if a substi
tute did go directly Into the game with
out talking with his quarterback or
captain there 1. nothing to prevent his
asking for time to be taken out when
a conference can be had. If the time
taken out is In excess of the time al

penalized by the loss of two yards. As
the rules stand at present, an official
can penalize if there Is a delay of the

done on several occasions, to my anuwi

"With reference to the numbering of
players. I rather favor lt. But I am
rather inclined to the opinion that this
Is something which should be left to
the discretion of the colleges. I think
that this Is a proposition wmtii wn
gradually be adopted. 1 believe that It
is of great assistance to officials, par
ticularly in diagnosing forward pass
plays. -

Having Him Hurt Hand and Brit
isher Offer to Substitute at
Last Minute, Is Plan.
Now that Tom Cowler ha. departed
with Jim Corbett. no harm can coma
in disclosing a little plan on the part ,
of some of Tom Cowler's friends to
slip one over on Joe Bonds, the Tacoma
heavyweight boxer. .
Cowler, all during his stay In Port
land, was anxious to get a bout with
Ponds, either In Tacoma or Astoria. .
However, there was nothing doing, as
far as the Tacoma battier was con- ' ,
cerned. He wouldn't have anything tn
do with the big British "white hope."
He replied to Cowler'. challenge by
saying that his father would not let "'
him fight the Britisher.
Finally some local boxing fans, who
were certain that Cowler could whip ; '
Bonds, entered Into a scheme to get
the men Into the ring.
It was planned to match Bonds with
a local heavyweight, whom Bonds was
anxious to meet, for a 10-round go st
Astoria. The night of the fight, how
ever, when Bonds climbed into tho ' 1
ring, some o was to get up and an
nounce that the other man had broken ;
his hand and wa unable to go on.
Cowler was to be waiting at the
ringside, and the minute the announce,
ment was made, he was to climb
through the ropes and announce that
those present need not be disappointed,
as he was there willing and ready to.
substitute for the injured man.
The fans, of course, would have been
eager for the bout and Bond, probably '
would have lost his reputation then and
there had he failed to box.
