SP fpe— ORTS. STAR, WASHINGTON, B, THE EVENING TUTORS OF COURT SPORTLIKE PLAN Vote Being Taken to Decide Whether Idea Will Rule in All Pastimes. By the Aseociated Press, HICAGO, December 9.—The two-team foot ball agitation in the Western Conference has developed the question of the ruling applies and the court men- | he two-team idea | than the gridiron coaches. A vote is! now being taken among the althe directors to see whether the two-tean rule shall apply to all' sports. Meanwhile the double-header idea i: foot ball has received a belated addi tion to its adherents in Amos Alonx Stagg. the dean of Big Ten coaches, a the University of Chicago. Stage a! ready has booked Lake Forest Colles for a preliminary game October 6, 1 be played before the Chicago-Wyomin; contest, and is looking for anothe: team to match with his reserves Scp tember 29. the day of the South Care lina meeting. agg Is frankly skeptical of th two-team plan except on a first ar second team basis, and only then the first two Saturdays of the sched ule. Disagrees With Stagg. George Huff, director of athletics at Tilinois, added his views to the much discussed situation, but disagreed with Stagg on the double-header plan ‘There is not time in one afternoon for two games, Huff said, and his second team will play three home games while way, with some second- f games can be arranged. Six conference schools are now aligned in some form in_the two-team 2 with Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdve and Indiana still holding aloof. Huff issued a statement to explain Illinois’ position. “The furore over action by 'the ‘Western Conference faculty board. 1o my mind, is somewhat of a tempest in & teapot,” said Huff's statement. “In my opinion the conference legislation is in no way revolutionary or far reaching. It is simply a reversion to|, the old-time plan of permitting second trams to play games with outside in- stitutions. “I do not think that the ‘double- header-at-home’ suggestion has any merit, since there would not be time for two games in one afternoon. I do not think we will be obliged to use any additional coaches. “As to basket ball and base ball, the conference did not extend the number of games permitted between confer- ence teams, which remain 12 in each sport.” o CAMPBELL AND TINDELL DUE TO PLAY.TONIGHT William Campbell meets Edward Tindell tonight at 8 o'clock in the pocket billiard District_championship play at the Arcadia.

Johnny Golden, who recently won the northern New dersey open, is a fine example of a somewhat new idea in golf that the wife of a friend of mine recently ran counter to. She was taking a lesson from the professional of the Seaview Club and found trouble in getting her left foot back on the ground after balancing her weight on the big toe of that foot at the top of her swing. “Now what do 1 do with this left foot?” she asked, holding her club poised at the top of the ow do I get it back on the ground?” “Put it there right now,” he told her. She did and she ed better than ever that after- noon. Many golfers get into a seemingly awkward predicament at the top of thelr swings. They worry about DOWNSWING B0G GARDNER HERE the left foot, poised on the inside of the big toe. The perfect solution to the perfectly timed swing is to have this foot down flat on_ the ground with the right, each tak half the weight, at the instent contact. That's fine! But if Hagen or Jones or Harry Varden or Tommy Armour or Von Elm or any of them do it, let them rise up and prove it right now. You can, as Johuny Golden does and as Mrs. Harry sler does, put the left foot right back flat on the ground as you start your down- swing, and have no_great trouble at all carrying your balauce. Bol ardner, former United States amateur champion, made contact with the ground with his left foot somewhat later than Johnny Golden does. But it is a mooted question if it meant any- thing. Get it down right away as you start the downswing, it it worries you, and keep it there until after you hit. As a matter of fact merely dropping it to the ground won't get the body ahead if you re- member the important thing of let- ting the arms go through first.

NEW YORK, N. Y., December 9.— The perplexing problem of tie contests in various flelds of sport had rasied a furore in hockey circles today for defi- nite measures to eliminate the increas- ing number of no-decision games. President Charles C. Clapp of the Canadian-American Hockey League suggests a wider net as a means of combating draw contests and proposes to present the issue to the National Hockey League rules committee. With a view of speeding up the sport. changes were made before the opening of the current campaign call- ing for a shorter stick, decr keeper's pads and the ne pass rule in the defensive zone. Nevertheless, tie contests have been | as apparent as ever if not more so. In the National Hockey League, virtually | half the games played so far this sea- son have resulted in draws. Of 42 starts, 18 have ended in no-ver despite 10-minute overtime periods. During the first quarter of the C: nadian-American circuit, there have | been nine tie games. The official net of professional hockey is two inches wider than those used by the National and Canadian-; American organizations. While Presi- dent Clapp of the latter league be- leves a more satisfactory contest would develop by use of the official size net, President Frank Caler of the National wheel has declined to com- ment. If the added two inches to the net does not solve the situation, Clapp de- clared he would appeal to the rules | committee for a wider goal.

CHICAGO RACE TRACKS TO DECIDE ON DATES CHICAGO, December 9 (#).—Opera- 's of the five race tracks circling 1g0 have begun conferences on dates for next Summer's race pro- grams, with the likelihood, according to Col. Matt J. Winn, general mana- ger of the Lincoln Fields Course, that complete schedule from May 1 to November 1 will be ready to submit to a meeting of the Illinois Turf As- sociation soon. Col. Winn has discussed with off- cials of some of the tracks the dates they wish and has begun matching these applications with the requests of the other tracks %o a tentative pro- gram, acceptable to all five race courses, can be whipped into shape.

Automotive engineers tell us that an auto- mobile engine runs most efficiently when the temperature of its cooling medium is maintained at approximately 180° F. In Summer driving this presents no diffi- culty. On the contrary, the cooling system has to be “on the job” all the time in order not to exceed this temperature. But in freezing weather, it’s a different story. Then your problem is how to raise the temperature of your motor to its efficient point. Suppose your radiator is filled with a wvolatile anti-freeze solution—one in which the anti-freeze element boils at a low tem- perature—considerably lower in fact than the boiling point of water. What’s going to happen to your protection when your motor is properly warmed up? Obyiously it will evaporate rapidly or boil away. Contrast this with a cooling system filled with Ivo Radiator Glycerine. Ivo does not evaporate, for glycerine, the anti-freeze ele- ment, has a boiling point slightly higher than water and much higher than that of a volatile anti-freeze. No matter how cold it becomes—even 30° below zero—Ivo will protect your cooling system against freez- ing. In addition, you run no chance of boil- ing away your protection if a warm spell arrives, as it frequently does during ‘Winter months. Look for this label on “IVO” cans Under all varying Winter temperature conditions Ivo will enable you to run your car more efficiently and economically. It has many other advantages over volatile the A Procter & Gamble Product anti-freeze solutions. For example: it is odor- less; it will not harm the finish of your car; it will not burn or explode. + Ask your dealer about this permanent anti-freeze which has brought new pleasure and satisfaction to Winter driving. Any of the dealers listed below are prepared to service your car with Ivo. RADIATOR ycerine ANTI-FREEZE SOLU TION CAUTION:: Before filling with IVO, or any other anti-freeze, it will pay you to make sure that the cooling systém is leak-proof. Tighten—and renew if necessary—all hose connections, cyclinder hea(i gaskets and pump packings. cigarette 1 smoke is Lucky Strike because itoffersmeperfectpro- tection in addition to complete enjoyment.” Wallimn Polalom (o, “It’s toasted’ No Cough.
