"SPORTS’ " Grid Rules Body Makeup Un COMMITTEE UNBALANCED SECTIONALLY, MANY FEEL Foot Ball Followers in East Has Too Great Representation on Beoard Controlling National Code. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. T. PAUL, Minn., October 18.— Perhaps the most significant impression which the writer re- ceived from the Northwest was a feeling of dis ction_con- cerning the foot ball rules committee. It is not that any one objects se- riously to the rules as they now stand ~—although sentiment varies as to the wisdom of the lateral pass, setting back of the goal posts and other changes—as that the composition of the rule-making body is regarded as unbalanced sectionally and therefore not representative. It Is pointed out, for instance, that the committee has a heavy balance of Eastern power. There is no claim that this power is used in a_selfish way, yet at the same time, the t is not overlooked that the legislative body is heavy-headed. It contains, for example, representatives of Yale, Marvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, the Army, the Navy and so on, with other regions of the United States rep- resented by a single man for each section. Now, a foot ball division such as the Pacific Coast Conference covers an immense amount of territory, and it would be absurd to suppose that one man could represent the views of this expansive organization. Condi- tions, say, up in Seattle, or in the mountain lands of Montana, or in the mild, sunny climate of southern Cal- ifornia, differ as widely in points of View as they do physically. All Like Stagg. It is the same way With the West- ern Conference and other great sec- tional organizations of universities eri- zaged in competitive athletics. But the difference in the midlands is that Alonzo Stagg is_respected generally throughout the Big Ten—is, in fact, venerated and loved. As a consequence he is accepted in the Middle West—or seems to be—as completely represen- tative ofe the section, and his attitude is known to be influential in the coun- cils of the national rules committee. Whether this would continue to be WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER OUNT VERNON SEMINARY athletes have an exceedingly interesting program of sports planned for the year, under the direction of their new physical training instructors, Beatrice Pearson, a Wellesley graduate, and Margaret Finley of Montreal, Canada, who received her training at the Chel- sea Training School in England. Miss Pearson has general supervision of the sports, while Miss Finley will con- centrate on hockey and swimming. Major activities include tennis, hockey, basket ball, riding, swimming, hiking and archery. The school is divided into four sections for all events—Seniors, Juniors, Whites and Yellows. A general sport record will be kept by the month, each girl being marked upon her attendance and abil- ity in each sport. The class having the highest average at the end of a month is awarded tha “athletic ban- ner honor,” which permits it to hang its colors in the gymnasium for the next 30 days. The class with the highest average at the end of the year has the privi- lege of hanging its colors in the cloister balcony during commencement week. In addition, each girl is offered an added incentive to develop an all- around performance in various activi- ties through the system of achieve- ment tests. Blue stars are awarded for excellence in any one feature of 2 game—for instance, in passing, goal *hrowing, teamwork, etc., on the bas- ket ball field—serving or receiving in tennis, stick work in hockey and so| forth. When a player has received all the blue stars possible in one ac- tivity, indicating that she has become proficient in all branches, she is given a gold star. The girl winning the largest number of gold stars is awarded a gold medal as the outstand- ing sportswoman at the end of the term. Dorothea Sigel of Pittsburgh, Pa., winner of the medal last June, has re- turned to school and will serve as pres- ident of the Athletic Association for 1927-28. Practice in tennis, hockey, archery and basket ball has gotten under way. Thirty-one names appear on the ten- nis ladder, which is headed by Nora Glancy, with Jane Quilhot in second place, Any player may challenge one or all of the eight ahead of her and in the event of victory exchanges places with her opponent who had the more cholce position. No award is made for climbing the ladder, the final position of the play- ers at the end of the Fall season be- ing used simply as an indication of what may be expected in the title tourney to be held in the Spring. Two riding classes are held every afternoon, one going out at 2:15 and the other at 3:45. Hockey and basket ball groups practice four times a week. On Wed- nesday, “coaching games” are played. ‘These contests have all the aspects of match play, but are halted from time to time for the coaches to point out flaws in teamwork, strategy and individual plays. Candidates are striving for mem- hership ie the walking club, which uccepts only those who have been test- ed and found to meet the three major requirements of the organization. To become eligible, a girl must walk half and hour every morning before break- fast for three weeks previous to her acceptance; she must have eaten nothing except fruit between meals and must have taken a hike of at least five miles during the week ends. ‘Those who are trying out for the club are: Mary Reed Simpson, Berrilla Kerr, Ruth Feyer, Barbara Haskins, rthwest Consider That the the case were Stagg, for one reason or anoter, to drop out is questionable. The fact remains that it is only in the Far West. and there only in spots, | that one encounters the spirit of res: | tiveness concerning the personnel of | the foot ball legislative body. It does, | none the less, seem to indicate a spirit ‘that will grow and which the writer | believes will in course of time surely result in a better balanced personnel in_the committee. It appears that where intersec- tional games are frequent there is less of a tendency toward eriticism of rules or anything that affects na- tional foot ball than elsewhere. The last thing that the Middle West wants is foot ball distinctive to the midlands; that is, a sort of game which is not played in other sections. So with the South and the East. National Game Wanted. For that matter, colleges of the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Slope would not, if the issue were brought squarely before them, vote for a dis- tinctive sectional game, but even so, it is felt that a desire for a more representative make-up of the rules committee is not inconsistent with a thoroughly national spirit as to the playing of the game. In the sense of national foot ball the present season is interesting in that the Rocky Mountain region is just beginning to come into its own. The University of Utah team made a_splendid impression in the Middle West two Saturdays ago and the visit of Colorado University to Los Angeles is a further expression of enterprising” spirit among the Rockies. Again, the trip of the University of Southern California to Chicago late in November is another pioneering step which is sure to be influential in joining the West .coast to other sections in the spirit of reciprocity. It is through this that all troubles —even So serious an issue as a pos- sible attack on the rules committee as at present constituted—will surely be adjusted in a manner satisfactory red and the other blue and purple. to all.

Amity and Langdon continued their winning pace, each winning the entire set from Brightwood No. 1, and C lumbia, respectively. Jim Kllett tured the Amity-Brightwood m while Laster of Langdon and Marvel of Columbia rolled well. Myron Cowell was the star of the | match between Eastern and Bright- wood No. 2. his 335 total materially aiding the Brightwood boys in taking the odd game. Lund, captain of East- ern, was the only member of his team to roll well, his set being 318. | Golden Rule won two games from Central, but was forced to bow to the | latter in the last game, due to a game of 142 registered by Armiger. Armiger was easily the best pinspiller, his games of 114, 91 and 143 giving him a |3 set of 348. Nichols of Golden Rule, making his debut in the anchor posi- tion, turned in a total of 327. Notwithstanding the fact that they | were forced to use a dummy score of | 85 and allow the opposition a handi- | cap, Fred D. Stuart won the entire set from Magenenu. Griffith elected to overshadowed the handicap, and rolled well to turn in a three-game total of 349. With Vessey’s able assistance, this excellent performance held the encampment boys at bay. Washington won the first two games from Covenant, while the third game developed into an individual battle between the two anchor men, Rohr- bach of Washington and Sislen of Covenant, the latter emerging on top with a game of 142 to Rohrbach’s 133. Covenant won this game by a few pins. However, Rohrbach’s three- game total was the best of the match, 336, Sislen running him a close second with 332, Arlington won the odd game from Mount Nebo. Crutchley and Gordon rolled in good style for the Virginians. Joslin of Mount Nebo shot a game of 120 in his last effort, this game being responsible for his team's lone victory.

The old master, a-veteran of 23 vears in the ring, lost a decislon in | 10 rounds last night to Hilario Mar- tinez, Spanish contender. Britton came within inches of win- ing the bout in the first round, when Martinez sent a low blow home that put Jack in the resin. The crowd velled for a foul, but Referee Dorman started a count and Britton got to his feet when flve had been tolled. No damage was done by either fighter. The action was slow, and many in the crowd began to leave at e, | the start of the seventh round. MUST WEAR HEADGEAR.
