A Foul Rule Still Is Problem in Basket Ball NAVY BASKETERS WIN ‘| BRITISH GOLFERS URGING STYMIE’S RETURN IN U. S. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. TYMIELESS” golf appears to have irritated our British brethren to the point where it appears they are about to make strenuous MANY PLANS SUGGESTED, BUT ALL FOUND WANTING Latest, of Having Player Infringed Upon Given Free Throw at Basket or to Teammates, Fails to Find Favor in Tryout. HAT shall be done with t problem has been botherin, \ < threatened at times serious trouble. ists, who can convert so many tries from the lne into points, have triumphed in numerous instances, d scored from the field. This has brought about a demand for a drastic change from the present policy of directly in front of the basket. but no one so far has been able to evolve a satisfactory substitute for the rule now in force. umerous suggestions have been made by the coaches and officials in the Intercollegiate League during the last two years, but when tried all were found wanting. The latest at- _tempt to improve upon the rule was made by Ralph Morgan, chairman of ihe basket -ball committee at the niversity of Pennsylvania. At his equest, the Penn and Drexel Insti- tute quints. in their game in Phila- delphia last Wednesday night, used the new rule suggested at the recent basket ball meeting in New York. Workings of Latest Plan. Instead of shooting for the basket after a foul was made, the plaver against whom the foul was commit- ted got a free shot. If he was in a position to shoot for the basket he was privileged to do so without in- terference from the opposaing team. it away from his own basket, the fouled player could make a free throw 10 any of his teammates. ‘The scheme was given a thorough tryout before Intercollegiate League coaches and officials invited to pass Jjudgment. And the rule did not meet With their approval. It failed to speed play as expected, and the free passes made by players far from their goals generally resulted in fouls being committed against receivers. Now those with the interest of the sport at heart are as much in the air as ever. They are anxiously casting about for | some one with a suggestion for a sub- stitute rule that will enhance the value of floor play and correspondingly reduce the value of the expert shot, who single handed frequently achieves victory for an outclassed quint. With Capt. Joe O’Comnell, Paul Florence, Jack Flavin and Andy Zazalli. | all regulars last season, @vailable as a nucleus for its team, Georgetown Uni versity is looking forward to a success- | ful basket ball campaign. More than iwenty tossers are striving for places with the quint, and as the opening game of the season -does not take place until the second week of next month, the squad will have plenty of time to' pre- pare. Q'Connell will again be used at. cen- ter, whare he proved such an excellent vlayer last winter. Florence and Flavin, ihe rangy forwards, probably will not be ocusted from their jobs by any of the hewcomers, and Zazalll, former captain, is regarded as one of the best guards n_this section. There is much good material left over from the 1921 squad. It includes George Carney, who got into quite a number of Charles O'Byrne, also frequently used as a substitute; Gillen, McGrath, eating. McGowan, Sauter and McCabe. Several of the new men played bril liantly_before entering at the Hill- top. Paul Byrne, former Gonzaga High School star, is likely to shine the . grid- Jeralemon. well at has demonstrated mut.h n practice, and Sweeney. freshman, has shown Lonlldcmhle ability. Grogan and Smith, profes. sional school students, are making strong bids for positions. Just now the foot ball men who are cut for the quint are not being worked strenuously, but the others are getting practice regularly. With the exception of Flavin, who still suf- fers with a knes weakened by roidiron tnjury, il of the squad is in excellent condition. Flavin will be able to take his place in the games, fowever. The frst pruning of the squad probably will take place before the Christmas holiday. Clpt. onnell is coaching the team at present. John O'Reflly, active coach at Georgetown for yedrs, is critically i1l at Georgetown Hospital, following an operation a week ago yesterday for abdominal abscess. After a week of severe sickness he was reported to bé feeling more comfortable last night, but his condition was still regarded as. quite serious. O'Reilly has been head coach of basket ball. base ball and track and assistant at foot ball, and has developed some mighty capa ble teams and athletes. Central, Eastern and Western high school teams will get further pre- championship series tests this week. ‘The first named is to play the Hyatt. Md.)

Barnes, who played both forward and guard last year, is playing for- ward this season, and Lyon, an ex- cellent substitute last year, is at guard. For the time Harris, who won a’place in the outfleld of the nine last year, is playing forward and showing much speed and good shooting.

Some of the promising new players are Day, Smith, Cgoper, Garrigues, Wil- son, Headden, Waterman and Ford.

Some pressure has been brought to bear on the golfing authorities to revise the rule and bring it back to the old penkity of loss of distance only. Others believe the present rule is equitable and in- volves no hardship on the careful player. The golfer who is content to play down the mifidle and does not take many chances is undoubtedly in favor of the more severe penalty. But what of the man who takes a chance to make a birdie and whose ball rolls out of bounds by a foot or two. He deserves an even break, where he has only miscalculated by a slight dis- tance. Bobby Jones ruined his chances to finish close up in the open champion- ship at Columbia last July when he hooked two balls out of bounds at the long fifth, taking a nine to the hole. At this point Bobby had a good chance to finish second. That nine about killed his chances to finish ‘well up. Possibly had there been but a loss of distance penalty, Bobby might have played a bit more carefully, even wanting to avoid that penalty. But, with the other and more dras- tic alternative, he said to himself: “Either I do, or I don’t,” and blazed away. 300 HORSES FROMU. .

T.A NEW YORK, December 10.—Letters inviting challenges for the Davis cup, emblematic of the world team tennis championship, were mailed today to competing nations of past years by the United States Lawn Tennis As- sociation. The communication calls atfention to the fact that challenges for the 1922 competition will close on March 15. “Judging from letters recelvl-d since the completion of the 1921 ‘matches,’ the invitation, “this contest has aroused more widespread interest throughout the world than ever before. This makes it the more appropriate to point out again the fundamental service the Davis cup contests can perform in stimulating still further friendly rivalry and good feeling between the tennis-playing nations of the world. “To accomplish this result it seems desirable that each contest should, ‘whenever possible, be played in the| country of one of the competing na- tions. “Such action will lend interest to the various nations’ schedules by providing an international match, Will tend to lessen the expense of traveling and will best serve the pur- pose for which this competition was established.
