Resolutions embodying this attitude, framed along line of the stand taken by the western or "Big Ten" conference, were adopted by more than 100 gridiron coaches and athletic directors representing about forty colleges and universities In all parts of the country. The association, which closed Its sessions tonight at a dinner, addressed by a number of prominent football authorities, also adopted a rode governing fair play, good sportsmanship and coaching ethics as recommended by a committee headed by Alonso Stagg, veteran Chicago gridiron mentor. Chief among the features of this code were demands for' strict adherence to amateur rules, en forcement of rules prohibiting side line coaching and discouraging all commercializing Influences on the game.
