| NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—Menace of |

gambling to college football was | brought out by the American Foot- | ball Coaches Association for the first | time today when Gus Dorais of the | University of Detroit engineered an investigation into this “growing evil.” | Dorais said he had heard reports | that there was more money bet on | college football last season than on | horse racing during the entire year, | “Big gamblers moved in on this | during the past season,” he said, | “and I want to see what steps we | can take to protect ourselves as the big-timers, as often as they can, limit their betting to sure things.” Tuss McLaughry of Brown, president of the association, said that the trustees would appoint a special ommittee during its February meeting. No Specific Instances

Dorais was asked if he had heard of any specific instances in his territory that would lead to special alarm. “No,” he said, “but I have heard plenty of talk about gambling among people with whom I came in contact last season. I heard this

sible to protect ourselves.” Dorais then proposed that the association recommend to the rules committee a provision requiring players to wear numbers on both front and back of jerseys. This

Dorais recommended that the coaches should investigate possible

Bo McMillin of Indiana University was ill with a heavy cold, so his annual trustees report, a routine document, was read by Ray Morrison of Vanderbilt. All post-season football games, including the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl affairs, were on the blacklist of the Association today. The N. C. A. A. stand was taken in adopting the report of a committee appointed a year ago to investigate all influences adverse to the best interests of intercollegiate sport. Members of the commitee were Prof. Z. G. Clevenger, Indiana University, chairman, Prof. H. H. King, Kansas State, and Prof. Philip O. Badger, New York University. “The committee is opposed to post-season games of all descriptions, including so-called ‘bowl games,’ feeling they have no part in the athletic programs of the colleges,” Prof. Clevenger reported.

Other Influences

Other influences which the N. C. A. A. disapproved were: 1. Amateur-professional games between the all-star teams picked by

newspapers and the pro champions. 2. Practice of coaches making forecasts on the probable result of football games. 3. Coaches participating in commercial broadcasts in which the name of the colleges and college sports are traded upon for the sales promotion of products. 4. Increased gambling on [football games. After all the hubbub over the forward pass interference rule, Walter Okeson, chairman of the football rules committee, revealed that a canvas showed that the rules generally proved satisfactory the past year. Maj. John L. Griffith, commissioner of Big Ten athletics, was reelected president and Dean Fred L. Nicholson of Wesleyan, secretarytreasurer. Next year’s meeting of the N. C. A. A. will be held outside New York City, the site to be determined by mail vote.
