night at the Hialto Theatre with
Hob Knise, husky Portland heavy,

that if he does not win

this section are over.
. Fvans, when he wrestled Xor
beck, displayed good form, and
probably would have taken the
match had not Xnrheok been for- I

spin. Kvans might have shown
himself in better form had he not.
just arrived from a long trip from
his home in Oklahoma. Kvans lias
worked out with St rangier Lewis,
the world's champion, and by him
was told lhat he possessed one oi' ,
the strongest sets of shoulder and
arm muscles In the Cnited States.
These, Kvans expects to use to ad
vantage when he meets Kruso.
Training headquarters have been
established at the Flayhouse the- .

be held tomorrow night at eight 1
o'clock. The workouts will be
open to the public, with .the ad

Football coaches of the nation ap
parently me satisUed lo leave the
gridiron rules very much as they
stand tor a ie,w .wars at least.
This was made clear at the an
uual convention of the American
Assoctatlau of Fool hall Coaches
when they had only one recom-
1 niendation for a char.;e to make
the national rules committee.
It was the unanimous semimeut
of the association that the rule
affecting fumbles should lie re
vised, making such u misplay
"dead" at tho point of recovery
.when ruined by the defensive team
and allowing Ihe offensive team
to gain as ipuch as possible when
.recovered by a member of its own
eleven.
Coach Knute Uockne of Notre
Dame and Dr. Clarence Spears of
Minnesota both spoke in favor of
Ihe fumble revision.
Coach William Roper of Prince
ton, president oi the coaches' or
ganisation, in his address had a
i word of criticism of any coaches
r athletes who .endorse through
advertisement any brands of ci"
areltes. While he did not mention
any names, he said lie believed
such incidents would do much to
'nullify the progress made by the
i profession, Me also touched lav
j "liiv mi (he non-scouting agree
! ment Princeton and Yale used and
i declared he Ished it could be
adopted generally.
; The next meetin-; will be held in
'New York Ihe Friday or Satur-,
ilny followiii" Christmas. The Nat
I ional Collegiate Athletic associa
tion will tie in session there at
; the same lime.
i At the uftornoon session today
('each tllenn Warner of Staufo-d
described the (wo whig hack for
' mat ions used by his team, illus
j traling his poin o:i the black
board. Rockne spoke on Ihe "pedagogy
lof football." He recited the ways
Mil which a coach might tench' fool
(hall, stressing especially the aid
' ing (d tho uuarlerback. hut adding
, that in field generalship the couch
i should give him much lutitude, al
slowing him to learn by experience
1 what plays fit certain emergencies
i best.
! Hugo Hezdek of "Penn State, in
la blackboard talk, described the
: nlays possible from the spin for
1 mat ion, citing the pass, end run,
-louhle pass and whirl through the
hue as tactics to be evolved irom
the formation.
