THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1927, 43 Army Holds to Contract With Navy Calling for Three More Annual Grid Games THREE-YEAR RULE NOT UP TO CADETS Nothing in Athletic Pact With| Annapolis Calls for Limitation. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, December 9.—If the ‘official views of the Army ath- letic authorities on the agita- tion concerning the three.year eligibility rule proposed by the United States Naval Academy wera devpitely set forth, it is quite likely that the matter of relative enroll- ment would be ignored by them as in- consequential. But no statements on the situation, official or othe: . are coming from West Point. far as the writer is able to sense Army feeling. the ten- dency is to abide by the athletic agree- ment between the two service acade- mies, in which among other things it was stipulated that teams of West Point and Annaolis should play foot ball over a four-vear period, of which this year wa sthe first It would seem that this agreement was signed in good faith with perfect understanding by both parties of the conditions. If the writer does not err in catching prevailing Army senti ment, it may be erted that this document is regarded as binding and | that if it were treated by one or the other ns a mere scrap of paper, sheer | bad faith would be indicated. And it is felt—even granting the lack of supporting opinion from of- ficial Army _athletic West Point will ¢ agreement. tolerating no thought amendments, such as the three.year rule. In other words, the belief is herewith set forth that the Army will not follow the Navy in adopting the three-year rule, All Treated Alike So far as the spirit of West Point with regard to athletics and students generally has been gathered by the writer in the course of visits to the Point this fall, the essence of the at- titude toward cadets is that thore shall be no discrimination whatever. The son of a millionaire receives treatment no different from the son of » huckster, and th2 boy who comes to West Point from some college where he has played foot ball enjoys similar con- sideration: but no more, and no l2ss, than the high or preparatory school athlete. If this principle is to be jettisoned, it the college man is to be singled out for discrimination. then far batter that | intercollegiate athletics he abandoned at West Point. The main job at the United States Military Academy is the development of army officers out of raw material. Athleties of whatever sort are incidental and must alway: be—which does not mean that th value to the students, as well as fac- tors in the solidarity of the student and alumni bodies, is not anpreciated It would appear that civilian institu tions appreciate the situation, evidence of which may be seen in the annual games with Yale and the contract which has just been signed by H: vard, two institutions where eligi- bility standards, both scholastic and otherwise, are rigidly observed. View Not Influenced There is nothing in the way of of- ficial sanction in what has been set forth in the foregoing paragraphs; nor official influence either. The writer has not set this down in the spirit of erecting a brief for the Army. He has merely written what he believed to be the' spirit underlying the conduct of athletics and everything else at West Point as he has caught it this year and in past years. It is timely, in view of what looks like an approaching impasse between the two service institutions, that this analysis of fundamentals be printed. It is not believed that in the last reckoning the spirit of the Navy in respect to these things differs in any material degree from that of the Army. This being so, a break which might be prevented by a frank and tolerant discussion of matters which are abso- lutely justiciable, would be a calamity to intercollegiate sport generally. __ {Cooyrieht. 1027.)

Alekhine was officially proclaimed champion last night by the Argen- tine Chess Club, under whose aus- pices the tournament in which the title_changed hands was held.

The 16 teams of the loop car- ry on their championship chase under a handicap system that brings start- ling changes in standing after the one night of competition each week, changes so startling th place a team will land in virtually is mpossible until all scores are tabbed. The under team of a_match is ac- corded a handicap of 75 per cent of the difference between its average and jts opponent’s average, provided the undér team has the lower average. Thee’s no handicapping done if the team lower in standing happens to have a better average Operating un- 2er this system, the teams have been shifting constantly sinc the season and rarely has the differ- ence between the first and the last of the 16 teams in the standing been | more than 12 games. L. G. Schmidt is president of this peppery circuit that holds forth on the Convention Hall drives. Officers as- sisting him in the direction of the league's activities are C. E. Hamann and Gale Feaster. This is the fourth season for the War Department outfit and according to its officers it is going stronger than ever. They’re banging the pins at a pretty fair rate out in the Prince Georges County League at Hyattsville. A sam- ple of the class of bowling frequent in this circuit was provided by the American Legion quint in its last match. The Legionnaires Jittle maples for counts of 553, 532 and 554 to sweep a set with Stephens. However, Stephens was trimmed by a lone pin only in the second game.

BOWLERS A flourishing league among those de- voted to developing duckpinning by the fair sex is the Federal League that holds forth on the King Pin drives. This circuit, although a new- comer to the game, is hitting on all eight this Winter and interest in its championship race is keen. The bowl- ers turn out in full force for their weekly engagements, and enthusiasm runs high during the team battles. This seems to be an especially fine vear for bowling by women. Many new leagues have entered the lists and all are prospering. The old leagues, too, = great campaigns, and one he Ladies’ District League that started last Winter—I gressed to such an extent tha well be rated as of major type this vear, While mentioning women's League must not be overlooked. This |lot of enthusiastic duckpinners does its shooting on the drives at Recrea- tion, and what it may lack in skill it e than makes up in spirit and de- | termination to have a great time. With Cowles and Mischou slamming | the maples consistently, Union Print- ers walked away with two of three games bowled with the Nomads in { the Athletic Club League. Cowles had a set of 349 and Mischou of 347. The Nomads, however, got on target lin the second game and averted a | whitewashing when Schroen and Kenny led a strong attack. After a poor start the Meyer Davis tgam went on to a two-to-one victory over Monarch Insurance in the tional Capital League. Moore, lea |man, was the only three-figure roller for Meyer Davis in the initial clash, {but thereafter the Musicians were in f{a hitting mood.
