Tommy Connor of Business and Joe O'Dea of Eastern. both first-team se- lections of last vear. failed to mak that grade this winter. but were good enough to get on the second-string aggregation. Backed by a good team, Connor would give any of the other a brisk brush for first honors. Q'Dea lacked the speed necessary to make first-class forward.

As a result scoring was somewhat lower than in other campaigns. Several boys dlistin- gulshed themselves, both as running and back guards, but of the lot Le- land Cardwell of Eastern easily was the best. * Cardwell, speedy and with plenty of endurance, thoroughly coverad the court. was quick to outguess the opposition and frustrate plays, got the ball away Intelligently, raced through a broken field quickly and apt at making long passes to his goal-throwing teammates. It was Cardwell's dash and keen basket ball knowledge, more than anything else, that won Eastern its championship. For the other first team guard, Roland Dulin of Western s selected he possessed practically all the qualities that made Cardwell so ®ood, and was instrumental, more than any other member of the West- ern quint. In keeping it in the run- ning for the title to the last minute of the race. Tom Hook of styled a forward. played a running guard, and became so pro- ficient as the serfes progressed that he was well up in the guard ranks at the end. He and Merle Miller of Central, one of the steadlest players in the title matches, are assigned the second team. Bruce Kessler of Eastern, a remarkable passer, was a mighty valuable asset to his team astern, really who was |at times. but he was too small to cope with several of of other teams. Both Quints Formidable. Both of these teams would be formidable. With Childress, leading field gcorer. and Garber. best of the foul shooters, alded by speedy and inteliigent players of the type of Dey, Cardwell and Dulin, the first quint would take a deal of beating in scholastic competition. For the second team O'Dea would do the free would be able to share the scrimmage scoring work with Hook. Connor and Frisby. Miller would make matters interesting for the rangy athletes ‘ommsins: forwards at all times. The fight for the title this year was in some respects unique.. A hasty decision of the board of high school principals barring from the series boys who had played with other than school teams threatened to wreck the affalr, but after four matches had been played the decision vas reversed and the series started anew. Then Eastern, which had taken a pair of trouncings, came back with a new set of players and made a clean sweep in the first half of the season. It faltered In the second half, how- ever, succumbing first to a greatly improved Central quint and next- to the good-passing Westerners. The regular schedule ended with Eastern and Western deadlocked and so even- ly matched were these quints that in the play-off tie an extra perfod was needed to give Eastern a single- point victor: SHATTERED AS NAVY BEATS RUTGERS NNAPOLIS, Md A against West Virginia, and a lumbia, the Naval Academy had a bi March 3.—With victories in the tank against Rutgers, in the ring against Canadian boxers, on the wrestling mat triumph over the fencers from Co- g day. Local and intercollegiate records fell consistently in a swimming match in which the Navy won irom Rutgers, 36 to 26. The result makes almost certain that the intercollegiate supremacy for the year will turn upon the match here on March 17 with Yale. & Giebel of Rutgers was in fine tlo and added a new intercollegiate rd to his string. In the 150-yard hack stroke he bettered the high figure by a second. when he covered the distance in 1. He also came within a fifth of a second of his rec- ord of 5.30 for 410.

LOUIS, Mo., March 3.—Basket ball as played in the western confer- ence s inferior to the brand exhibited by the eastern colleges, according to Fred Luehring, coach of Minnesota University. Luehring, who attended the annuai banquet for big ten ath- letic officials here last night, said western conference basket ball was rough as played by a majority of teams in the conference. Luehring advocated a plan by which athletes who participated in various meets would perform under the col- ors of colleges instead of athletic clubs. John L. Griffith, commissioner of the big ten, declared athletics are not a “necessary evil,” as he sald some college professors refer to them, but w vital part of our national life. He denounced professore who have ex- pressed the opinion that athletics are achieving too much success and glory. “Our athletics are developing a fighting spirit not only in the hearts of the men on the field, but in the people In the grandstand,” he as- serted. “The spectator in the stand has no time for the mollycoddle who would not indorse foot ball or box- ing."

Central DIXIE COLLEGE BODIES PLAN UNIFORM RULES ATLANTA. Ga March 3—Steps to- ward uniform action on the subjects of summer base ball and the migra- tion of athletes were taken at a joint mecting here today of representa- tives of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference and the Southern Inter- collegiate Athletic Association. The meeting was described as “harmoni- ous” by representatives of the two organizations At the request of the 0 representatives, those present for the conference agreed to recommend to their body the re-enactment of the old conference migratory rule, which is in effect the same rule that the S. 1 A. now operate Accord- ing to this-rule, an at who has played on any team of a college, is forever barred from competing on the team of any other college. Un- der this rule it will be impossible for an athlete to win a letter at more than one college In return for this courtesy the S. 1. A A, representatives agreed to recommend to their organization the enactment of a rule covering sum- mer base ball that will have the same meaning as the present conference rule. This provides that an athlete, to be eligible for a college team, must not compete on regularly organized teams with a salary schedule, and must not receive any compensation other than expenses. He may play on teams not classified as regular league teams by getting permission from a faculty representative, but such a team must not play more than <. | three games a week Recommendations also were made by several of the representatives present that the colleges take steps toward seeing that the preparatory schools organize to enforce the same rules as governing the higher schools.

This became known to- night when it was announced the ex- ccutive committee of the Intercol- leglate A. A. A. A. had tabled for a year the membership application of the Pacific coast college. The action was taken, officials said, because of lack of information con- cerning scholastic and eligibility re- quirements of the California univer- sity, but it was understood they felt these requirements did not measure up to eastern intercollegiate stand- ards. The Callfornians, it was said, were asked to submit further in- formation on both subjects. Technically the application of the westerners was tabled only until the next meeting of the executive com- mittee, but as this does not take place until March, 1924, the matter cannot be considered before another year. Recently the University of South- ern California announced it planned to invade the east for the iatercol- legiate meet with a team whicn in- cluded several prominent stars in ad- dition to Paddock. .
