‘Changes in Foot Ball Rules Seem Sure YATERAL PASS IS LIKELY TO PLAY PROMINENT PART ’Putling it on Basis With Forward Heave Opens Way for Its Development—Moving Post Back is Hard Blow to Drop-Kicking. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. “W YORK, March 7.—Through changes in the playing code which the intercollegiate foot ball rules committee made last week end, the gridiron sport may be expected to take a long step # forward in point of varied offense next season. What such coaches as Warner, Rockne, Howard Jones, Roper, Wade, TDobie and other progressive instruc- tors will do with lateral passing may easily be imagined. Opportunities for latitude in work- ing the lateral throw are opened by the new rule, which stipulates that as with the forward pass a grounded ball shall not be a free 1, but will return 10 the passing side at the point of scrimmage with the loss of a down. . This most surely will bring the game somewhere near the point suggested by Jarvis, the old Harvard quarter- back, whose suggestions were recently printed in this column. It will add to the game the complexion of rugby } foot ball, in which the ball changes hands time and time again in the course of a rush. Should Provide Thrills. v thrills for the spectators will result and, combined with the pass, will open up the game to an extent satisfactory, it may be supposed, to the most ardent propo- nent of open plays openly arrived at. Not content with minimizing the penalty of fumbing a passed ball, the committee also made the fumbling of A punt less costly. Hereafter when the lone safety man is facing a boom- ing punt with two or three huskies bearing down upon him with lancing speed, he has the satisfaction of knowing that if he muffs the ball an opponent may not scoop it up and run for a touchdown. If aun opponent picks up the fumbled punt the ball wWwill be dead at the point where he seizes it. This is a mighty fine change in the rule, but it will not, as some critics have ' reported, eliminate the Sam ‘White stuff from the game. Sam, as fill be recalled, scooped up passes from center that went wrong in the Yale and Harvard games of 1911, and ran for touchdowns. This may still be done, as a ball which goes astray on the snapback will continue under the rules to be a free ball. The rule which sets the goal posts 10 yards back of the goal line places a premjum upon drop-kicking. Even with the posts on the goal line there have been few enough proficient drop- kickers season after season. There will be fewer from now on. This change unquestionably will af- fect the scoring in games, and there are going to be fewer points scored after touchdown. The rule committee hopes that with greater distance for the ball to carryon the drop-kick play after touchdown, more teams will employ rushing and passing plays as means of earning the ex nt. The writer fears that is in a vain hope. Experience has shown that it is deucedly hard to gain that additional point either by rushing or passing in games where teams are evenly matched. So in all probability the dropkick will continue to be the pre- vailing play and there will be a greater premium than ever upon the development of skilled booters. Shift Can Be Handled. With the stipulation that on shift | plays the players must be in their final positions, motionless, bodies not even swaying for a full second before the ball is passed, we shall find that the successful working of this ruie will depend upon the officials. With four officials instead of two haviuz Jurisdiction over the shift, each of the four backfield men can be watched and unless the officials are blind, stupid, or plain crooked, there should no longer be any difficulty In deciding whether or not the shifting men are in motion Just before the ball is snapped. A time limit of fifteen seconds has been applied to the huddle which is plenty of time, and_ after one pl the next must be launched within | 30 seconds. Teams that'so desire may use the system of 40 plays to a period instead of the l5-minute quarters. Time out may be claimed three times in each half instead of the old rule. Just how the game may be affected | with relation to the balance between | offense and defense is reserved for later discussion. four as under | DISTRICT GOLF BODY WILL MEET TONIGHT . Delegates from_the dozen member lubs of the District Golf Association 1l gather tonight at the Racquet Club to put the seal of approval on 2 crowded tournament scheduled for this season and to elect officers and assign a date for the local amateur championship. With the months of May and June crowded with tournaments, the Dis- | tdict association will face the busi- est tournament schedule it has ever attempted to prepare. Eight club events are listed, with the Middle Atlantic championship scheduled for the last week in June. President Robert Stead, jr. of the Burning Tree Club will preside at the meeting. Tommy Armour, pro at the Con- gressional Country Club, and Rob- ert Cruickshank of New York went on to another match in the four-ball champlonship tournament at Miami, Afollowing their brilliant victory ves: terday over .Gil Nichols and Alex Smith, a veteran combination, whom they defeated 5 and 4. The Armour- Cruickshank combination, both for- mer Scottish amateur title holders, had a best ball of 63 for the day’s play, with Armour’s spectacular ap- proach work standing out. Walter Hagen and Jock Hutchison scored in an extra-hole win over Wil- fred Reid, former Indian Spring pro, and Charles Mayo. " TITLE TO MICHIGAN | .

Here's a surprise, fellows! Pack up your Summer clothes, your base ball, glove and bat, and be ready for & big trip! We're leaving tonight for Catalina Island, Calif., where George Young recently swam the rough channel and became world famous. But we're not going out there to swim. We're go- ing out to get some base ball knowl- edge from Joe McCarthy, manager of the Chicago Cubs. By the Associated Press, CULVER CITY, Calif., March .7. Leon Duray, French veteran, today collected $10,000 and had 500 points to his’credit in the contest for the national automobile racing champion- ship as the result of his record-shat- tering victory in yesterday’s 250-mile opening A. A. A. event here. He drove without a stop to his first triumph in a major race in this coun- try to lead the field of “baby” 91.5 cubic inch displacement cars with an average of 124.71 miles an hour. His elapsed time was 2 hours 16% sec- onds. This bettered Frank Lockhart’s world record of 116.37 miles an hour for this distance by more than 8 miles an hour. Lockhart’s mark was made at_Altoona, Pa., September last. Three other drivers set five new rec- Hartz is Close Up. Harry Hartz, national driving cham- pion last year, followed Duray by less than 20 seconds to win second place, which carried $5,000 prize money and 260 points toward the driving crown. He averaged 124.27 miles an hour. Third money, $2,500, and 140.points, went to Peter de Paolo, nephew of Ralph de Palma. Frank Lockhart, 23-year-old Los| Angeles youth, who finished second last year in the national point stand- ings, was fourth. He received $1,750 and 80 points. Other prize and point winners were And after we've finished there we will get back to the mainland and sec what Donie Bush is doing with the Pittsburgh Pirates at Paso Robles. ‘This will be the start of the great- est base ball training trip you've ever read about. We'll visit every big league camp from California to Flori- da, 16 in all. In some we may stay a couple of days. But we've got a long trip ahead, and this is the first you have heard of it, so we'll have to hurry. ‘We'll leave by airship, and tomor- row we’ll land at Catalina. From then on it's going to be a great Spring. You're going to meet all the big league stars and managers—all the famous ball players you've ever heard of. ‘We'll learn something good in every camp. First there is the Cub camp we're headed for. Then Pittsburgh. Then we fly to San Antonio, Tex., and see the Detroit Tigers at work. The Chi- cago Americans at Shreveport, La., will be the next stop, and then the Boston Red Sox at New Orleans. (Copyright. 1927.) AUTO RECORD SHATTERED BY DURAY FOR 250 MILES Harlen Fengler, fifth, $1,300 and 50 ppints; Eddle Hearne, sixth, $1,100 and 35 points; Earle Devore, seventh, $950 and 26 points; Norman Batten, eighth, $850 and 15 points; Al Melcher, ninth, $800 and 10 points, and George Abell, tenth, $750 and & points. List of the Records. For 10 miles—131.6 miles per hour driven by Lockhart. The old world record, 128.10 miles an hour, was made by Earl Cooper last August on the Charlotte, N. C., track. For 30 miles—130 miles an hour at- tained by CIiff Woodbury. The former record for the distance, 128.249 miles an hour, was set by Peter de Paolo last July on the Salem, N. H., track. For 100 miles—130 miles an hour, also made by Woodbury. Lockhart established a mark of 121.11 miles an hour for 100 miles last August on the Charlotte bowl. For 150 miles—126.5 miles an hour was established by Dave Evans. It surpassed record of 120.876 set by Lockhart in August at Charlotte. For 200 miles—125.6 miles per hour, also hung up by Evans. Eclipsed by about 7 miles an hour mark of 117.57 established by Lockhart at Altoona, Pa. “Baby” motors, smallest creations in the history of the A. A. A., made their Western debut in the classic. Automotive engineers described the records as phenomenal in that the motors have been in use but about six months. COLLEGE ATHLETES WILL SWARM FIELDS College base ball and track squads and groups of athletes striving for places on other Spring sports teams were expected to turn out in force BY SOL METZGER. Slow motion pictures of noted golfers in action bring to light an interesting point concerning the swing that has been barely touched on. This point is that the arc of the swing is not a true one for the good reason that at the time of con- ' tact, when the club head meets the ball, the club head is traveling for- ward on a straight line. If this were not so the matter of stroking the ball along a given line would be such a delicate matter of timing that few would be able to master it. Take a few prints of Tolley, for example, the hard-hitting British amateur who defeated Bob Gardi- ner on the thirty-seventh hole for the British Amateur at Muirfield in 1920. Tolley-is one of the long- est hitters in the game. Playing the Allegheny C. C. course, Tolley two years ago came to one hole game of the Western Conference bas- ket ball championship is the Iowa- Michigan contest at Ann Arbor to.| night. = A Michigan victory would | bring the Wolverines the Big Ten title, while defeat would give both In.| diana and Purdue a chance to tie. 1 The Towans lost a close battle to| Ohio State Saturday night, 30-28; and | have but slim hopes of downing Mich- | igan tonight on its home floor if| Oosterbaan and Harrigan are in their customary form. Purdue tonight plays one of the two » games which it must win to retain a | faint hope of a tie for the champion- ship. The Boilermakers play North- western at Evanston tonight and Chi- cago at Lafayette next Saturday. Indiana’s last game is with Ohio at ‘olumbiis Wednesday. Victory will ring the Hooslers second place, or a tie for first if Michigan is beaten to- night. The other game this week is Tow: Wisconsin at Towa City. This will d cide the fourth and fifth positions in the race, Wisconsin now holding fourth, a half game ahead of the Hawkeyes, The conference standing W Minnesota Leading scorers: Player.

Tolley reached the front porch. The reason there is a flat sector in the swing is apparent in study- ing the mechanics of it. Just be- for hitting, the weight shifts for- ward from the right leg or pivots to the left leg. Also the hips move forward. Note this forward move- ment of the hips of Tolley as he is pictured playing the stroke. Then study the diagram below. You'll find that the swing between the points A and B is flat. Shots that do not follow this line are the re- sult of poor timing. (Copyright, 1927.) D. C. PRO BASKETERS TACKLE FORT WAYNE Much_depends on the plaving of Rusty Saunders if the Washington pro quint is to march successfully through the West this week in a series of four games with Fort Wayne and Chicago. The husky, high-scoring forward has been suffering with a cold on his chest for the past two weeks and only three days ago sought medical treatment. Saunders, it was learned, performed in both the Baltimore and New York clashes two weeks ago, despite his illness, and in each game he scored a dozen or more points. He kept his trouble a secret from his team- mates until these contests had been played, | defi, it is believed. | win was not enough to push the Green today as the result of the better weather. Diamond_squads at Georgetown and Catholic University have been able to get in practically no outdoor work thus far, while Maryland, outside the batterymen, has made no attempt to get outside. Indoor track activities for college teams of the local area soon will end for the season. Georgetown's colors will be shown by a few representa- tives in the Knights of Columbus games next Monday night in New York, and the Old Line athletes will make their last appearance indoors on March- 19 in the Meadowbrook games in New York. Maryland has issued a challenge to the Penn State relay team for this night. The Nittany Lion flyers, who alone have defeated the Old Liners on the boards this Winter, will accept the Three Washington college teams have engagements this Spring with Army ¢eams at West Point. Catholic University base ballers will appear there April 9, when Maryland also visits for a lacrosse game, and George- town’s track squad will show their wares ‘“‘on the Plains” on May 14. DARTMOUTH CAN WIN IF TIGERS ARE UPSET By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 7.—Dartmouth, with schedule for the season complete and resting in second place, still could look forward today to a possible cham- pionship in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League. Dartmouth closed the season with victory over Corhell Saturday, but the ahead of Princeton, which holds first place in the standing by a small mar- gin. The Tigers, however, must play Columbia Wednesday and Pennsy- vania ' Saturday to complete the schedule. A victory and a loss in the two games will bring about a tie with Dartmouth for top honors, each with seven wins and three losses. Prince- ton must win both contests to clinch the title. Penn, with five victories in games, faced a tie with nell for third place if the Ithacans close the campaign Saturday by taking the measure of Yale. Columbia, now tied with Cornell in fourth place, has won four matches while losing five and can further complicate the schedule by defeating Princeton Wednesday. Yale haef won only one game in nine starts, Simmen, Yale center, leads the in- dividual scorers with 70 points. Deveau of Cornell is second, with 65, andh Sl;lcken of Dartmouth third, nine | SCHOOL DIAMONDERS WILL GO OUT SOON ‘ Many schoolboy base ball squads were expected to take advantage of today's improved weather to get in their first drill outdoors. If it con- tinues warm ‘it is probable that just about every squad in the city will be out within the next few days. Two of the strongest prep school quints in this section are to meet tomorrow afternoon at American Uni- versity when Devitt and Strayer's tossers take the floor, starting at 4:30 o'clock. Central and Eastern basketers were both to see action today, playing host to Augusta Military Academy of Fort Deflance, Va. The cadets were to appear against Central, champions of the high school division in the Penn tourney, this afternoon at 2 o’'clock at the Central gym and tonight they will engage Eastern on the Lincoln Park school's floor. It will be the last game of the season for Eastern and Harry (Beanie) McAllister, speedy forward, and Burton Langhenry, sturdy reserve, will hold forth for the last time for the Lincoln Parkers as they graduate in June. Devitt swimmers, who scored over Forest Park High of Baltimore Satur- day, were to match strokes with an- other group of Monumental City mer- men this afternoon. Devitt had an engagement with Loyola High in the latter’s tank, starting at 2:30 o'clock. Hyattsville High tossers are now prepping for the State-wide tourna- ment to be conducted, starting about March 15, among champloris of the varjous counties in Maryland. Having brushed aside Bowie, their lone chal- lenger, Hyattsville will represent Prince Georges County in the affair. In its final regularly scheduled game of the season Saturday night at Hagerstown, the nearby Maryland boys dropped a 48-to-28 tilt to Hagers- town High. It was a sweet victory for the upstate team that took a beat- ing when it visited Hyattsville a few weeks ago. D. C.

Soougl s 90-HOLE GOLF COURSE TO BE BUILT IN OHIO CLEVELAND, March 7 (®.—A 90-hole golf course, one of the largest in the world, will be constructed by the Walnut Crest Country Club at ‘Windsor, Ohio, 40 miles from here. “It's not too hig. There's a real demand for it,” said Arthur W. Green, founder of the new country club, as he related how many clubs nowadays are restricting the memberships to stop congestion on the 18-hole courses. Contracts have been let for the Walnut Crest links and the layout will be ready by the 1928 season. Green said it would serve a popula- tion of millions in northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The golf course and other features will cover 2,000 acres. WARWICK AND Y. M. H. A. FIVES DISPLAY STRENGTH ARWICK COLLEGIANS and Y. M. H. A. Seniors loomed today as contenders for the District unlimited title now held by Anacostia Eagles as the Congress Heights Team swung back into form with a vic- tory over the strong Olympic A. C. teem of Baltimore. Collegians gave the Roses their first defeat of the sea- son yesterday in a game played at Gonzaga gym, 82 to 25 score. ‘Washington Wonders, prominent contenders for the unlimited title, went down, 31 to 24, before Y. M. H. A. at the Jewish Community Center. At the same time another strong Washington quint took a drubbing, the Yankees dropping a 30 to 24 game to St. Mary's Celtics of Alexandria in Gonzaga gym. Roses piled up an early lead over the Collegians and were in front, 17 to 15, at half time, but Freed and Scruggs unleashed a tornado offensive in the final half to put the game on ice for the Collegians. Chatten was the outstanding star in the Y. M. H. A. victory over the ‘Wonders, scoring three field goals and four foul tosses. Kanawhas Juniors annexed a preliminary game from Co- lumbia Juniors, 22 to 10. St. Mary's Celtics uncovered a speedy attack against Yankees and showed a superior defense when the local courtmen attempted to open up their offense. Eagles led at half time, 16 to 14, in their contest with Baltimore Olympics and unleashed a strong offensive in the closing moments of the game. Renrocs downed the Eagle Juniors, 18 to 11, yesterday in a game played at Congress Heights gym. St. Peter’s Preps nosed out George- town Preps yesterday on the latter's court in a 38-to-36 game. Troop 83, Boy Scouts, won easily from Brightwood All Stars at Walter Reed gym yesterday, 38 to 16. W. H. West Co. quint and Chevy f'iha:e tossers will meet Wednesday night.

One held the national champlonship last year, the other holds it this season. iversity of Maryland, 1926 cham- plon, has accomplished a feat which has rarely, if ever, been equaled by a woman’s college team on the range. In the last three matches fired the Marylanders have scored 20 possibles. Against Drexel and the University of Kansas five and seven centuries, re- spectively, have been fired. Saturday, shooting against the University of Texas, eight perfect cards were turn- ed in. George Washington, 1927 champion, which did some phenomenal shooting to earn. the title, very nearly equaled the Marylanders’ record against Texas. In their telegraphic encounter with the University of Delaware seven of the nine George Washington marks- women firing registered possibles. The eight University of Maryland girls who hit the bull's-eye for perfect records Saturday were Helen Beyerle, Julia Louise Behring, Hazel Kreider. Anita Peters, Mildred Hislop, Alice Orton, Virginia Fooks and Frances Gruver. On the G. W. range Helen Taylor, Helen Prentiss, Verna Parsons, Kath' erlne Shoemaker, Marjorie Folsom. Eugenia Cuvillier and Betty Clark each shot 100. Basket ball still claims the attention of local sportswomen in schools and clubs. George Washington co-eds will find a hard battle ahead of them when they face the Willilam and Mary sex- tet tonight in the H street gym- nasium.

Walford booters downed an old rival, Marlboro, winntng a hard-fought 1- to-0 game, while Concords heat Mon- roe, 2 to 1. Both games were played on the Monument Grounds. Walford gained a_victory, the brilliant Jess Burton, knocked to the ground and a possible fractured shoulder. Twice hefore this season Walfords and Marlboros have met, with victory perching on the Walford banner each time. Yesterday, however, the Wal- ford booters found sterner opposition, for George Buck was back in the ame and proved himself the out- standing star of the M outfit. Time after time the goalie blocked kicks that threatened a score, Walford was led by the agile Bur- ton and Johnny Malloch. Monroe booters scored the first goal of the game with Concord 20 minutes after the opening whistle. Concord tied the score a few minutes later, and scored the winning tally in the final minutes of play, with Kuhner Kicking. British United defeated the German- American Reserves, 3 to 0, in another game played at the Monument grounds, the winners scoring twice in the first half.
