COLLEGEGRID COACHES MEET Professionalism One Os Chief Topics Os Discussion New York, Dec. 28— (U.R) —College football coaches, who have I been ducking shots for three months as they tried to make gridiron champions, came here today ' to do some ehooting themselves. Armed with alibis and ideas as to what’s wrong and what’s right with football, the coaches joined athletic directors, faculty advisors, trainers, and newspapermen to discuss professionalism and other problems. Probabilities are that nothing will be accomplished. Professionalism will be a big issue although Major John L. Griffith. president of the National Collegiate Athletic association and commissioner of the Big Ten. expects no change in the N.C.A.A.’s opposition to subsidizing of athletes. “Discussion of this topic of subsidizing athletes has been going on for 30 years.” said Griffith, "with 1936 setting an all time high. The discuseion is interesting but there’s no chance of a shift in our attitude. We'll do a lot of thrashing out of the question of subsidization, but will agree. I am confident, to carry on e.s usual.” Radicals have gone so far a* to open subsidization of athletes. If the left wingers of college football had their way. the old gag of 'the football program ha.wker who yells ‘‘get the names, numbers and salaries of all the

I players” would be a fact. Rut as far as the N.C.A.A. is concerned, open subsidization is i' years awajr. i The ball may start tolling, however, toward solution of the forj ward pass interference rule. Most , I of the coaches believe in keeping football rules as is. Yet, so many important games were decided last season by the pass interferj ence rule that the coaches have taken renewed interest in It. i Coach Eou Little of Columbia, ' chairman of the coaches rules committee, has for a complete ! discussion of the pass interference i rule. Coach Little also has asked ' eports writers to submit proposals | for probable modification of the rule. ■ > All other phases of college athletics will be discussed by the campus leaders. The athletic sltu<a,tion in smaller colleges, radio contracts, and eligibility ..will be lively topic* in the fourday meetings. The eastern intercollegiate association met yesterday and decided j to appoint an assistant to Commissioner Walter Okeson. who has been trying to surrender his heavy duties for two years. When the assistant, to be named next December. is able to familiarize himself with Okeson's job he will retire to devote his full energies to his position as treasurer of Lehigh University. Commissioner Okeson also is chairman of the footlmjl rules committee. — o COLLEGES Montana State 46. Evansville 37. New York City College 49. Marshall, 33. Long Island 41. Illinois Wesleyan, 29.

Aid In Search Washington, Dec. 28 — (U.R) -JEdgar Hoover, chief of the nation’s G-m« n, announced today that the entire facilities of the federal bureau of investigation had been thrown into the hunt for the kid- ! nupcr of 10-year-old Charles Matt- ■ son of Tacoma. Wash. Backed by a record of having solved every kidnaping case in : which his department has taken i part in the post four years. Hoover declined to reveal details of the investigation. The amended “Lindbergh" federal anti-kidnaping law, enacted by congress in 1934. provides that if the victim has not been returned after the lapse of seven days it shall be presumed that he has been transported across the state line. In that event federal agents immediately have jurisdiction. In actual practice however, local authorities usually invite the assistauce of the FBI immediately upon learning so an abduction. “I was advised of the kidnaping last night,” Hoover said. “1 immediately advised Tacoma authorities that we would make ' available to them the full facilities of the federal bureau of investigation.”
