Ills o New. The ills now under diagnuMs are not new. They were strejweu at length a year ago in the Carnegie foundation report. They have been pronounced serious enough by th examining physicians 1n annual ses sion in New York, to -warrant some prompt corrective measures. Chief among these, as developed by the consultation of( football coaching experts and officials with in the pat two days, are: 1 Abolition of spring practice and limitation of fall practice for college football squads. 2 Active and immediate steps to curb the growing pains of subsidiz ing and recruiting. 3 Less emphasis on gate re ceipts, less prominence to the coaches' control of the play and less eommereiu? Influence in the make-up of schedules. Spring Training Hit, Salent among the steps already taken to bring tho gam back to normal is a dofinitti- .mow -Anuti lending eastern colleges and uni X. vers! ties to abolich altogether their programs of spring training. This proposal, made by Major Philip 11. Flaming, retiring graduate man ager of athUics at West Point, has been approved wholeheartedly by a group of nearly a score of ey.st ern institutions, already linked to gether in the "Association for the Selection of KntKcrn Koothall Of ficials." The npproval voted, while not entirely binding on all the college involved, was regarded today as one of the most important steps yet taken toward the elimination of over-emphasis. It is expected to have far-reaching effect, not only among those involved, but ci."wherc in the country. The American Football Coaches' association, after somewhat stormy session, adopted resolutions pre sented by W. W. Koper. retired Princeton coach, and putting the t body on record as opposed to "com- pulsory spring practices" or the start of "organized fall practice' prior-to September 15. 4 SKATTLK. Dec. 30.

With Rod and.Gun By Erneat Roatel and Dick Green Upon reading Wild Life Lines by James McCool in the Morning Ore goniaii yesterday and noticing that the writer indicated the possibility of beaver dams in the tributaries and upper reaches of the river as a menace to the. progress of ffsh. lioy I'arr, deputy game warden, gave information to this column to day that he knows of no dam in the coujnty that has blocked any stream. There are quite a number of streams in the county and there are some dams, the officer ald, but he knows of none doing dam age. He looks upon them as a benefit and cited a number of eases in which anglers found fish ing better in the pools behind the low barriers of wood and brush. Like T. K. Merrill, who recently wrote a letter on heaver dnms. Deputy Parr scoffed the Idea that the little animals were able to dam the river In tile lower part, as in dicated by a local correspondent whose game lines appear frequent ly in a Portland paper. There in no open season on beavers, the of ficer states and there are believed to be quite a number in the county. Duck hunting attracted a score or so of hunters to the llogue river yesterday and a fairly good num ber of birds were killed. James Koss killed three and upon pick ing one up, found that it had fallen on a stick in such manner that Its body was entirely pierced by the wood. Most of the ducks were fly ing high and it took good shoot ing to bring them to earth. No geese wero reported seen.

Mr. Poole sustained injuries when a heavy car he was driving was wrecked on Oreenspring moun tain road Christmas night. . Mr. Poole In one of the most active members of the game commission and is seriously behind the move ment to close the Rogue river to commercial fishing. At a recent commission meeting ho had quite a wordy tiff with Roderick Mac leay, commercial canner, when river closing was discussed. Indications that there were more deer hunters in Oregon this year than the past, figures recently re leased by Harvey L.

On another extremely warm day, at Worcester, Hobby Jones and Willie Mucfarlane were start ing their second play-off, about 2:30 o'clock In the aflernoon. "They say It's 10fl In the shade," said Hobby ns the pair left the i first tee. I "Fortunately we don't have to !say In the shade much," said Wil lie, philosophically. J "That's tho vilest bunker I ever i tasted." said Irvfn Cobb, after blasting and failing to duck. I think It was Ring Lardner, or Rube Goldberg, or Irvfn Cobb, or somebody, who undoubtedly gave this explanation of the main (defect in his golfing method: ! "I stand too near the hall after hit it." This one goes back 40 years to tho time Andrew Kirnldy was playing money, matches about Scotland instead of presiding over tho eighteenth green at St. An drews In the big tournaments. "Andra" was playing in n four some affair for quite a pure, a 3ti-hoc match In which "Andra" and his partner were 2 up at the end of the first round. On the PORTLAND. Ore.. Dec. 30.

From now on 'oWl me 'Silent Arthur'." In searching Shires, the officers said, they found a pair of brass knuckles. After he made his speech in fa vor of silence, Shires undertook to explain tho brass knuckles. "I Just carried them for the fun of it," he said. "You know I dctn't need them.. When I hit them with my bare fist they go out cold," , By O.B. KEELER way to luncheon the other mem bers of the match went In to wash up. "Andra" slopped outside. "Aren't ye washln' your hands, Andra?'' Inquired one of tho op ponents. "An' spoilln' me grrupp?" snorted the veteran, scornfully. The most whimsical reaction I ever knew of on a golf course was strictly pantomimic. There was a prominent member of a New Orleans club not many years ago who employed this sys-J tern with golfing Implements which displeased him with which, In u word, he messed up shorts which ' ho felt he should have produced properly. HIh home course was sparsely settled with trees. When he miss ed a short Inexcusably, to his own way of thinking, he would hand the club to his caddy with the injunction not to put It back In tho hag. "Jtist carry that ono a while,' he would say. And he would play along, per haps four or five holes, until ho ! fa mo to a convenient tree. Then j he would beckon the caddy, take the club from him, and, quite dis j passionately, would wrap it around tlnit tree. The caddy knew belter than to pick up the remains, too. Chick Evans once putted worse t hit it iisunl In a natlona I champ ionship match and lost It. He brooded over his putting that night after he went to bed "I could not go to sleep," Chlek told me. "And finally, at midnight, t got up, and dressed, nnd I took that putter a mile to a little lake, and thero I drowned it: OPERA FAME. BETTER NLW YORK". Dec. 30. Mme.

He demands last cruisers, built to car ry airplanes on their decks. Plane carriers of all klnda are built on the assumption that air planes must have somo place to land.

Why doeu this richest govern ment in the world, with all its able engineers, continue to assume thut the uirplano must be a limited, leeblo thing, not really reliable in flight. Why does not the govern, meat build planes that would not need any carrier on which to roost It can be done, and this richest nation should do It.
