Dec. 10 (A). If there re mained any doubt that football bowing a steady trend toward the more open, more spectacular stria of play, responses to a nation-wide Associated Press poll serve to dlnlpats it. Almost without exception, college football leader pointed to the wider of passes, particularly- of for wards, as the most striking develop ment of 1938. Don McCsll later of South Carolina truck a happy phraa when he sug gee ted football offensives had be com so unorthodox that the player considered It was "all light to do any thing, anywhere, anytime." Report from th Southwest Indl cated team there were using just about as many passing as running play.

Vanderbllt, under Bay Morn- son, former Southern Methodist ooach, reported using more passe than ever before, IS to 90 a gam. Hand In hand with Increased use of th aerial attack, the Rocky Mountain conference noted, went higher coring. Then were eight game in that sector In which th losers scored st least two touchdowns, twice as many as in 193S. Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech was on experienced observer, how ever, who viewed tn irena wiin a different slant. "It seemed to me," he said, "that th teams In this section that were losing wer throwing more passe and the teams that wer winning wer more conservative and more effec tive with their passing game." Jock Sutherland, Pitt veteran ooach, was another who took th variant viewpoint.

"The tendency by most teams," Sutherland declared, "was to open up and brighten their running attacks to obtain th same 'spreading effect' on the defense once sought bv passes. Th tendency now is to ward delayed Plays, reverse ana spinners." Along that same line, Harvey nar- man of Penn thought then was less "fancy tuff" and tha emphasis was on "power mixed by Tom Hamilton of Navy pointed to wider use of 'spread formations, ao common in professional football, a a distinct trend. Th aame tendency was noted In the Pittsburgh sector. Except in th Par West, the lateral pass seemed to have fallen Into dis favor. Bab Holllngberry of wash ineton Stat reported the "mania for latcrlals I dying out" but hs was almost alone In that opinion In th Par West Washington, for Instance, beat U.

C. L. A. and California with lateral passing plays. Minnesota employed ths lateral frequently and so did scattering other teams that had th glue-fingerea backs and strong lines to mak! It go but for the most part the backward pass played a much smaller part than in 1935.

One Michigan Stat observer thought there never had been ao many fumbles, due perhaps to the In crease In th fake pass and similar plsys Involving one-band ball carry ing. Among ths other general trends noted by one or more of the obserV' ers participating in we poti wer (1) Better kicking; (J) heavier sched ules with fewer "breathere;" (3) more end and tackle-around plays; (4) more multiple passe behind the line of scrimmage; (6) more frequent use of two complete, alternating teams.

KENNETH GREGORY Tuscaloosa, Dec.

10 Legislation designed to curb recruiting of prospective freshman football players for re-season practice, allegedly engaged In by two or three schools, loomed tonight as a bombshell that may explode In the annual meeting of the Southeastern Conference. Drastic rules regarding the practice have been proposed for consideration by the 13 member who gsther here to transact their business tomorrow. Available sources predicted passage of a measure to eliminate the practice, but there were hint of "heated exchanges." According to one observer, the plan employed la to send Invitations in the late spring or early summer. to graduating, high school and prep school players whose reputations suggested of good material. They are asked to report and go through rigid drills under the super vision of the varsity coaching staff.

At ths conclusion of th! "tryouts" those who "make the grade" In the Judgment of the coaches are asked to return In the fall. A for the others, they are told to seek aid else where. The Southeastern Is not likely to delve further Into the question of subsidization. At Its 1935 session, the executive committee legalised athletic scholarship In a move heralded as eliminating hypocrisy. Athletlo heads described the action as "being above board" a long established practice.

Amendments providing for an in crease In membership will be offered but apparently have little chance of approval. There la doubt anything will done about suggestions to change the group's name to a nation more suitable to the section In which the schools ar located.
