Maryland won the ope ith Richmond without cuity, though the results of efforts of the two teams gave an excellent dem- onstration of why college base ball is not especially popular around here. It three hours and five minutes the game, and time dragged g0 slowly that when the last inning was being finished not more than 50 of the several hundred spectators pres- ent %t the beginning were in the #tands. The score was 11 to 7. However, despite the slowness of the game, geveral brilliant plays were srade. Perhaps the best were by FBeachley, at second, and by Murray, at third, for Maryland. Both made stops of hard-hit balls that brought forth appreciation from the stands. Murray was the batting star, garner- ing two triples, a double and a sacri- fice in five times at bat. Stevens, with a double and two singles in five trles, and Troxell, with a triple, double and \walk in the same number of attempts, were others who hit hard for the win- \cidentally, a home run by Fary, thmond captain, proved the longest hit yet recorded on the grounds at Col- leze Park. The ball sailed well over left-field fence, which is an excep- tionally long drive. Notwithstanding there is discontent + the foot ball rules committee’s tion in adding a penalty to the for- ird pass, under certain conditions, at different sections of the untry are likely to split from the wth and play under different rules damental reason back of tically all institutions are of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the present foot ball rules committee represents anization of these insti- iutions that is responsible for the foot ball rules committee, as the members of the committee are elect- ed by the association. Members of the association, thercfore, are duty bound to stand by whatever their committee does. Some coaches in different parts of the country may not like the new rule, but what they like or do not like in the rules has never counted for much, apparently, except as it has found expression through 1he coaches that have been members of the rules committee. In‘addition to this situation, it is a fact that foot ball in sections, through interse tional games, has become so closel knit that it would be impossible to play under different regulations. ‘This situation calls to mind the fac It is the or Leaves from MUuRIEL'S though, that it would be well worth while for many institutions to take greater interest in the committees of the National Collegiate Athletic Assoclation, especially in regard to the way members of these committees are changed and new members named. Some rather caustic comment has ap- peared in regard to the foot ball rules committee, but it is well within the power of the institutions comprising ¢ | the membership of the National Col- legiate Athletic Association to change the membership. Comment from coaches against the change in the forward-pass rule is critical, too. somewhat because the rules committee has gone absolutely against the unanimous recommenda- tions of the best coaching minds in the country. The coaches are sup- posed to know most about foot ball, and they felt their recommendations would be followed. And they prob- ably will be further amazed by the fact that one of the coaches, who, at the coaches’ meeting, expressed him- self as believing that the rules were all right and should not be changed, is a member of the rules committee. But when it gets down to brass tacks, it is a fact that the great ma- jority of coaches, while they may like one thing better than another, deep in their hearts do not care much what the rules are. They all have to play under the same rules, and a change is not likely to work for the benefit of one more than for another. And, fur- thermore, coaches, while they may criticize changes, really have no desire to see any such situation as would develop if the South,” for instance, were to form its own rules and play under a different code than the North. And something else. While all may have their opinions, it is impossible for anybody. even the rule makers themselves, to say just what the ef- fect of the forward pass change will be. The rule makers thought that the ball should be kicked off from the cen- ter of the field, yet with one season of play it was demonstrated that they were wrong entirely, and the rule was changed back so that the ball might be kicked from the 40-yard line. With a season of trial, everybody will be in a good position to form a definite opin- ALOYS AND EAGLES TO BATTLE TONIGHT Fans who like plenty of ginger in their basket ball games will make their way toward Congress Heights night for the second match of the s son between the Aloysius Big Five and the Anacostia Eagles.

The District tossers were doomed to take runner-up honors a second time last night at Cleveland, when the Ro- senblum five captured the title and won the right to meet Brooklyn in the post-season play-off of the nation- al championship. ‘Washington was swamped under a 33-to-21 count after holding a 16-to-14 advantage over the Cleveland quint at the close of the first half of their match, which if won by the Palace team would have given the Capital passers an opportunity to tie the lead- ers for top honors. - Rough play on the part of the visit- ing players gave the Clevelanders a chance to win their game from the foul line, and they made good on most of the chances. A total of 19 free tosses were turned into points by the Rosenblums. ‘Willie Glascoe accounted for 4 of the € court goals registered by the Palace Club, while Hickey turned in 6 of the 7 baskets caged by the win- ners. .

McCLELLAN IDDLE distances are perhaps the most strenuous of track undertakings. The vitality s taxed to the utmost in both the quarter and half mile races. In these events speed is not the pri- mary factor,as in the shorter dashes, but, of course, it is essential—nor is stamina, as in the longer runs. They are in between. That is the reason they are called middle dis- tances. In addition to speed and stami- na, one is required to be especially “smart” to be successful at these dis- athlete knows how fast he the distance and tells himself it my fastest time will win, I will win, if not T may lose.

Some like to run out in front and set their own pace, others like to lay be- hind, and keep a kick left so they can outsprint their pacemaker at the fin- ish. 1f you run out in front, always keep lenty in reserve to kick with. Of course, you can't loaf. If you do your man will pass you and spoil your plan. Stay just far enough out in front. Those who run behind should be zood judges of pace. Never run too far behind. Don’t let the pacemaker get too big a lead. You may as well be beaten trying to hold on as to be beat- en hopelessly by allowing tog much dis- tance to accumulate between you. In the last Olympics the world’s best eight half-milers in the final, realizing the pace was going to be hot, ran neck-and-neck for the first quar- ter. No one would yield an inch—in fact they took some of the turns run- ning abreast. As a result the first quarter wu'hrun in sdl m&l'l:. and, of course, e second qui T Was considerably slower.

The other fellow may have a “kick” in reserve despite his fast pace. Again, in the last Olympics, Joie Ray, realizing well that Nurmi would win the mile unless he ran the fastest race of jhis life, started out to do that. He ran out from the gun and Nurmi ran on his heels. He couldnt lose him. At the half-mile mark Ray began to weaken. He knew his plans were shot. Nurmi always had a kick left. Ray was beaten, but he would have been beaten, at any rate.
