REPORTS TODAY
ASN Y H. COACH
New Football Regime
Will Start Soon at
:Historic University:
. Heights
.VETERAN S
Popular Mentor Will
Have Letter Men
gFrom Which to
Mould Team
NEW YORK. Feb. 2—-
The new football regime at New
York University will begin today.
when Chick Meehan. the new head
coach at. the local institution. takes
up his duties there. After being in-
formally welcomed to his new post
tomorrow by Henry C- Hathaway.
Chairman of the Athletic Committee
and Albert Nixon. Graduate Mam-
er of Athletics. he will immediately
begin active preparitions for next
season. Meehan will be formally
welcomed to New York University
at; dinner to be given in his honor
by the Letter Club of the institution
on the evening of Thursday. Feb.
33. in the grand ballroom of the
Hotel Roosevelt.
Meehan has already visited this
city several times to confer with the
athletic authorities at New York
University since resigning his posi-
tion of head football coach at Syra-
cuse University to sign a three-year
contract at the local institution. The
new coach is already well acquaint-
ed with the situation at New York
University and he has made some
of his plans for the coming cam-
paign.
Candidates for the football team
at New York University will meet
their new coach for the first time on
next Thursday evening. when a
meeting is to held at the university's
varsity club. About sixty men are
to be invited to be on hand for the
first meeting. According to present
arrangements. Meehan will hold
weekly meetings with the candi-
dates until Spring practice gels un-
der way. He hopes to have the men
well grounded in the fundamentals
of the game before the actual work-
outs start. ,
Spring practice will be inaugur-
ated about the second week in April
unless present plans are changed.
Whether the workouts will be held
indooreor outdoors will depend up-
on the weather conditions at the
time. If the weather is too severe
to-permlt outdoor sessions the earl-
Ier workouts may be held in one' of
the local armories until the candi-
dates are able to shift their activ-
ities to outdoor fields. It is expect-
ed that at least five weeks of Spring
practice will be held. It is also pro-
bable that the candidates will get an
early start in the Fall. as Meehan
wants to be well prepared for the
first game of the season. which will
be played on Oct. 3 with the Con-
necticut Aggies at Ohio Field.
It has not been decided as yet
where the early Fall practice will be
held. For a number of years past
the workouts have been conducted
at nearby army posts. Eventually
it is hoped that a permanent camp
for New York University athletes
will be established in the vicinity of
this city.
There has been some talk of
strengthening the schedule for next
season and this matter is still under
consideration. However. it is unlike-
ly‘that any other games will be add-
ed to the present list of eight con-
tests. ,The calibre of the schedule
for 1928 will depend to a. great ex-
tent upon the showing thut the
team makes during the next season.
As the schedule stands at present
the Violet eleven will play Union at
Ohio Field on Oct. 10 in.its second
game of the season. Its third con-
test will come a. week later when it
:neefstCity College. the first of three
oca cams on the schedul .
Field. e at Ohio
On Oct. 2‘ the N. Y. U. eleven is
scheduled to meet Middlebury at
Ohio 'Fleld. The annual contest
with Fordham. will be staged at the
Yankee Stadium a. week later. Then
will follow the annual clash» with
Columbia on Nov. 7. This contest is
scheduled to be played at Baker
Field. Columbia’s home grounds. On
Novf 1‘ N. Y. U. will meet Trinity on
Ohio Field. and‘ts final game of the
season. with Rutgers. will come a
week later. The Rutgers game is
now scheduled for New Brunswick.
but it is possible that this may be
changed in. the near future.
Although Meehan. who Is to be an
all-year-round resident coach.- faces
noleosy task for next seascnrthe
prospects for his first campaign -at
New York University are fairly
bright. Seven of the eleven men
whotstarted'in the first game of the
past fseason under Tom Tharp will

four other letter men also ‘will‘-be

In these days when the runner is

hold the bail to make the play good.
In 1876. if the fielder with the ball
in his hand was not on a base and

the fielder got the benefit of the
doubt and the runner was called out.
