"The United States, however, is i so far ahead of other countries at Jlhe game that foreign nations will (oppose its inclusion in the Olympic I program even though a schedule a'ready includes many games popular I jin only a few countries." i Domestic development has kept 'pace with foreign progress, says Dr. Naismith. In New York City alone there are 3.000 teams, he says A single < bat ch league in Kansas (City has 300 clubs. Every high {sihool college, military academy, ami Y M. ('.

COACHES END ANNUAL MEET Now York, D c. 30. (U.R)—More than 250 coll g * football coaches from all parts of the country were <m their way home today after the most successful convention they I , have held in years. There was th same talk, the! sam ■ bant'r ns in forme? years, I but when they adjourned late last I irglit thp hoys luql something | more than headaches to show for their work. The most 'important bit of business transacted was the blanket endorsement of th? following resolutions: 1. Elinrination of all organized practice before Sept. 15. 2. Reduction of post season and charity games to a minimum. 3. I ,im tation of fall practice to two hours per day. 4. Spring practice, if any. to be elective, and not to int rl re witli other spring sports. The resolutions were submitted by William W. Roper, retiring Piineeton coach, and are calculated to put an end to possible overemphasis. The coaches went on record as favoring retention of all the present playing rules, including the point-after-touchdown, but with two exceptions. They would like a revision of the rule giving the offieia s power to award the point aft r touchdown on pi nalty. They iecommend d the levying of the penalty and a second try. They also recommended that a | kicking team be given the privilege I of recovering and running with its j own blocked kick. Under the pres-1 ent rules the ball is dead at the j j point of recovery. The coaches elected the follow-1 J ing officers for 1931: Prssid nt. | i Chick Meehan, N. Y. U.: vice vicepresident, Ma! Stevens, Yale; sec ! ond vice president. Dan McGugin. .Vanderbilt; secretary-treasurer, W. H. Cowell, New Hampshire; trustees, Knut 3 Rockne, Notre Dame, chaitman: Dana Bible, Nebraska; B. W. Bierman. Tulane, and Eddie Casey. Harvard. Hugo B zdek, director of physical education at Penn State colleg?, created a sensation early in the day when he suggested, among other th ngs, that all college athletics be c ntralized under the direction of a department of physical education, adoption of football bud- j gets, establishment of football | coaches as regular members of the s faculty with a faculty members ; pay, elimination of spring practice. and elimination of all practice before Sept. 15. After much discussion Bezdek’s motions were tabled. The conven- 1 tion came tn a close at the annual banquet last night.

HORNSBYWILL , PLAY. MANAGE i Chicago, Dec- 30- (UP) Rogers, ; Hornsby will have the lioublO dis llimtion during the 1931 season of liming the only playing manager in 'the Major Leagues and baseballs I highest paid pilot. Hornsby's two-year contract as 1 manager of the Chicago Cubs was j ' signed formally yesterday. As is icustomary, the club did not reveal I he salary, hut it is certain that ■ j Hornsby's pay will bo the highest lof any manager in baseball. As a| 1 pitiyei in the Cubs ranks during the' past two seasons the Rafah receiv- 1 cd approximately $32,000 per year 1 The premium for added managerial) duties is believed to have brought I his stipend to $40,000. Joe McCarty’s five year term as manager of the Cubs netted him nn average of $30,000 per season and ■ lie is reported to have received a | .ike salary when he signed with the New York Yankees last tall. : John McGraw, formerly reputed to | be the high wage earner among ; managers is reported to draw $36.000 annually for his labors with the New York Giants. Hornsby, who came to town yesterday to sign his contract, returned today to St Louis. He intends o remain there during January and on Feb. 1 will start a one-man training trip. He wants to go to Catalina Island at that time and : have two weeks to get in condition ! before the balance of the squad ar- ' ives, Feb. 17. Hornsby guided the St. Louis Cardinals to a world championship I while playing regularly at second | base. At that time half of the Clubs ’ in the two major Leagues boasted playing managers with Bucky Harris of Washington, Eddie Collins of, J.e White Sox. Tris Speaker of' Cleveland and Ty Cobb of Detroit , heading the list. Now, playing managers are be- I •oming rare. All Major League pi- ' lots except Hornsby have outlived | heir usefulness as active perform-, ■rs- Five of the present managers I were catchers during their playin?, career, four are second basemen; two each, shortstops, third basemen and outfielders and one a pither. The list follows.
