CHAMPAIGN, II., March 26.—The new rule on forward passes was tried out for the first time in actual play at Tllinois by Robert Zuppke, foot ball eoach. “Our teams, which had practiced for a month, played three quarters reported the coach. and was penalized four times. other team used six passes and was twice. The referee became the most conspicuous figure on the field stepplng off the 5-yard penal- tles. These six penaltles, coupled with the usual penalties for offside, 4. Jholding and interfering with the re- ceiver of a pass, made it look like a game of . penalties. “In a game in which the pass is used conservatively the referes will have té step off five or six times more than in the past, detracting just that much more from the inter- ‘st of the game by causing needless delay. “It seems to me that practically the only defenders of the change are HELEN WILLS LEAVES FOR VISIT IN ITALY By the Associated Press. g NICE, France, March 26.—Telen Wills, American woman lawn tennis champion, left for Milan Italy, this morning after a most succeasful cam- paign along the French Riviera. She won the singles final of all the nine tournaments in which she competed with the sole exception of that in which she came against Suzanne Lenglen. The Milan express was held 10 min- utes while Miss Wills sea~ched foi' a lost case containing not only her pre- clous racquets, but also her railway tickets. She proceeded without finding the case, remarking that she did not see how she could play any exhibition matches in Italy as she would buy no new racquets until she could get some of her favorite makes either in Paris or London. and energies of the Central High School tossers who are now competing in the annual interclass basket ball series. Senior Blues have continued their winning streak this week, defeat- ing the Juniors on Monday by the decisive count of 24 to 2, and yester- day overwhelming the Sophomore squad, 49 to 7. Playing the fastest game of their carcer, the Seniors ran rings around thelr youthful opponents in yester- day's fracas. They were ‘“one jump ahead” on practically every play. Elizabeth Hatch, at center, seemed to possess the happy faculty of being everywhere at once. She followed up the ball skillfully and proved to be an excellent pivot, working with Virginia Story at side center, around which the team maneuvered to score almost at will. Elizabeth Ward scored 36 of the 49 points totaled By the winners. The Sophomore second squad won from the Senior Blue seconds by de- fault yesterday. Junior passers, who are holding sec- ond place in the race for interclass honors, defeated the Senior Reds, 24 to 8, Tuesday afternoon. Misses Hall and Truesdale divided®*scoring honors for the victors. One change will be made in the Bloomingdale division schlag ball schedule this Spring. Brightwood Park School, which has always entered its team in this league, will play in sec- tion A of the Columbla Heights di- vision in the future, as the Park View playground is much nearer the school than Bloomingdale. Brightwood Park should not be con- fused with Brightwood, which will re- main in the Bloomingdale division. The schedule, which opens April 12 with a game between Emery-Ecking- dertook to shift the position of sev- eral players and the reaults wers disastrous. The Coaches collected 14 additional tallles to their 2 before time was called. Camille O'Hara scored 12 points for the winners; Margaret Cralg, 6; Ellza- beth Tew, 6, and Dorothy Greene, 7.

The latter team falled to report at the Eastern High School court where the game was to have been played. Good Shepherd plays in its last scheduled game tomorrow night when it meets the sextet from the Depart- ment of Interior. A victory for the church team will mean that an extra game will have to be played with the Princess squad in order to decide the league title. Capitol Athletic Club’s Recreation League squad will not meet the Wash- ington Athletic Club second team to- night as scheduled. The fracas has been postponed until next week and probably will be played Tuesday, March 30, at Wilson Normal School at 7 o'clock, according to an announce- .|ment made by Frankie Ross of the s ¢ Eckington 3 Burroughe va Brighiw Emery-Ec] n: 21, Lang: £5 Bliehtwaod v, Bro 3, Burrous!

Should the ship | Princess sextet win the tilt, it would be tled for leadership with the seven- times titleholders from the Metropoll- tan dugout. Each of these teams has one defeat scored against it. Should ‘Washington come out at the long end tonight, then it would be tied for second place with Princess, each with two losses. Princess A. C. meets the Metropol- itans tomorrow night in the final regular scheduled game. Should Princess win both tonight and to- morrow night, it would be in un- disputed possession of first place. Should this combination lose tonight and win tomorrow, then a triple tle would exist between the Mets, Prin- cess and Washington. It can be seen, therefore, that much hangs upon these two games, which will be fol. lowed with keen interest by local fan: The game tonight will be called 9 o'clock. The Metropolitan-Princess meeting tomorrow night will take place in St. Martin's gymnasfum, Rhode Island avenue, and North Cap- itol street, at 7 o’clock. Despite the long margin by which the Coaches defeated the Playground Directors in their game last night, which resulted in a 30-14 victory for the former squad, the contest was in- teresting throughout, and points were very close until well into the third period, when the officials ran away with the scorce. The first quarter found the teams matching goal for goal. The Coaches led at 6-4 when the perlod closed. At half time the score stood 18 to 12.

Miss Wright was one of the nominees for the captaincy, but Eugenia Cuvil- - | lier was the choice. It is expected that Miss Cuviller will prove to be an exceptionally fine leader as she possesses outstanding qualifications. She is not only an honor student, but one of the crack shots on the rifle team and is the type to inspire confidence in her teammates.

Billy Hard will get one of the three positions in the outfield. TRACK SECRETS by Sol Metzger. When Warming Up. Nearly every time you attend n track meet you will see the entries in the races warm up a bit on the track just before they start. About every one of them will jog with an up-and-down motion of the legs. The leading track coaches have come to the conclusion that this sort of jogging Is wrong, and that the runner, other than-a sprinter, should warm up exa as he runs—by taking long, easy strides forward without kinking the knees. This method actually warms up—that is, makes pliable— the muscles that will be used in the race. Jogging up and down does not do so. — 27 QUINTS IN EVENT.
