MANNERS change with the times. Practices that were tabu 20 years ago are quite all right today. Twenty years ago the "pro" in football hung his head. He played under an assumed name. If detected, the honors he won in college were stripped from him, in some conferences.

He was a pariah in the highly ethical gridiron world Of that day. Today the bars are down. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Jan. NEW YORK, Jan.

For many years under Billy Sandow, Lewis trailed along with Pat McGIll, Toots Mondt (then a Sandow man), Joe Malcewicz, and that outfit.

winner of the fight to a defense in September under Garden auspices Three of the leaders Dr. Sharpe issued the following statement: "I am withdrawing from the coaching of football at Washington University and in conjunction with the faculty athletic committee and the university am recommending the appointment of James Conzelman as head football coach. "Other adjustments in the de--partment will be made later but will take place gradually and no further announcement will be made at this time." The announcement followed rumors of a coaching change at Washington which began during the'playiny season and have persisted ever since. Alumni dissatisfaction with the -weak showing ot the eleven resulted in the appointment of an investigating committee, the purpose of which was to determine the cause of Washington's let-down in athletics. The results of the investigation were not revealed, but today's announcement indicates it played a part in bringing about the change.

NOW we hear that we are to see Lewis appear again in St. Louis, although Commissioner Seneca' Taylor, when mention of a Lew-is-Londos match was made several months ago, asked the promoter not to bill Lewis here because of his match in St.

Horwvien, former Harvard coach, played with the Chicago Cardinals; Benny Friedman practicsd with the New York Giants each morning and taught Yale University players in the afternoon; McLaughry of Brown, Anderson of Notre Dame, Little of Columbia, Lud Wray of Pennsylvania, Crangle of Missouri, Maxwell of St. Louis University, Bullman of Washington, Bo McMillin of Kansas Aggies, Ingwersen of Louisiana State are others who had professional playing experience. Everywhere colleges seem to be awakening to the obvious fact that a professional should make a better teacher than an amateur. Conzelman enjoys a great advantage because he not only was a great professional player, having been awarded the "most valuable player" trophy in the National Professional Football League, but he was coach and manager of the team that won to defeat Denton.

This system is employed by some of the tfest football teams in the United States, notably Southern California, Stanford, University of California, Pittsburg, Army, Navy, etc. The only other important system in use is the Rockne system. "Next fall I will devote considerable time to the freshman squad to get the players started along the lines they may be expected to follow when they enter their sopho-moro year.

It is essential that freshmen players be well-grounded in the things that will be expected of them as members of the varsity. "Sometimes a great deal can be done with material that has not 'found' itself, but which is all right physically." Conzelman believes that no eleven is adequately prepared unless it has built up both its rushing and overhead attack. "No team today can hope to succeed merely with running plays," he remarked. "Both for ground-gaining and deception, passing is necessary and is equally important ith the running attack. "For that reason a great deal of attention will be given to the overhead game when practice begins." By Harold Tuthill.

No details as to the terms of Conzelman's contract were revealed, although unofficial information is that the contract is for cne year only. Officials of the university expressed great satisfaction at Conzelman's acceptance because of his popularity in St.

Louis, his -wide experience as coach and player and his football contacts. Speaking of his new assignment, Conzelman said today: "Of course, I am pleased to have been chosen for this post and hope I will be able to fulfill expectations of the university officials. I know little of the material available at Yashington and so 1 cannot make any comment on the possibilities of the eleven for next year." No Spring Practice. "Under the conditions of my contract 1 cannot take charge of the until next September, so there will be no spring practice under my direction, unless unfor-seen developments occur. That, of course, is a drawback, under the circumstances.
