SPORTS.” GAIN RECOGNITION T Rules Committee Prevents Break by Reorganizing to Favor Mentors. BY. H. C. BYRD. £nac1al Diapateh to The Star. AW YORK. December 31.—An open fight, with the Associn- on of Foot Ball Coaches on side and the foot bal rules committee on the other, was narrowly averted at the meet fnzs - of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Ameri- can Association of ¥ Coaches At their meetings in New York ves terday and Thursday. The fesling of the foot ball coaches that they were entitled to mme of a representation on the gridiron rules committee and 1hat the rules committee has too long been controlied by a small cabal came near resulting in A& situation that| would have been dangerous to the | game jtself. Fortunately, enough | coaches with level heads were on hand to check the situation and| smooth things over. The attitude of some of the coaches | even went so far as to initiate a peti- tion, to which many names already | | had been sizned. for the coaches’ as- | set of | sociation to compile & new rudes for foot ball. with such changes a2 might be thought advisable, and to guarantee to 7§ under the new code next vear hat would have de- veloped an almost impossible situa- tion, one that could not have endured and ome that might have done the game jtself great harm Trouble Is Averted. The situation was sensed by those in. the National Collesiate Athletic | Association divecting the destinies of | the rules commitiees of the rmn-] sports and the arrangement to reor- | ganize the foot hall rules committee | was made without 8 formal request from the coaches and before the| eoaches meeting. Instead of 13 mem-, bers of the committee there are to be only 10, and five of these are coaches, a much greater representation, com- paratively, than the coaches ever have bad before Babbitt of Haverford and Dr. | of Oberlin were left oft the committee and no persons were ap- pointed to fill their places. The | domination of the East is being changed. =0 that = nearly as possible the representation on the committee is distributed over the entire country. tn addition to this, the coaches won for themselves an invitation from the | rules committee to name three roaches 1o sit with the rules committee as &n advisory committee. This not only gives the couches 50 per cent of the personnel o the committee, but also | puts them in the position of having | present at xll nieetings of the com- miftee a s ronz advisory group. | At the mectng of the coaches Col. | rec rmer Assistant Secr tary of War and former president | of the Navy League, spoke in| vnspar terma of breaks between tnetitutions. He said that as an al umnus of the undergarduate school a1 Princeton and the Harvard Law | Rehool, and in view of his connections with hoth the Army and Navy, he felt he could be strongly partisan | either way, hut that “it was regret- | shle that hiz instituiions, whether they be related in the Government | service or be =-eat universities outside the Government service, were so lack- ing in fundsmental principles of con- | cilfation and in the proprieties as to | wash their dirty linen in the press of | the country.’ ¢ Col. Breckinridee mentioned names directly in this conneetion, but | his previous references to Harvard and Princeton and to Army and Navy Jeft no doubt as to the objects of h remarks. John Griftith, commissioner of the Western ¢ onference, brought out a new point of view in his discussion of whether or not foot ball has reached the peak of its development. The eountry’s financial stivation, the popu jation of college and university com mumities, the seating canacity of | sadia and other factors that affect the situation were brought out Have Fine Meeting. The National Coliegiate Athletic As socistion had probably the best meet- ing of its history in that it Aid its work with little friction, adhered strictly to its fundamenta) educational purpose, W@d moved from heginning 10 end with the ease of welloiled ma ehinery. In fact, so much under con trof I8 the National Collegiate A that matiers are ordained behind closed | Asors by committees, and a0 far no no | oppoxition m‘- developed to what the |y o jn o r committe jre. It wus thought | yather remarkable Thursday when the | siatement waw made that the vote by enllegen taken on the place of meeting mext yesr was the first direct vote the assor iation had ever had.

An attack like Yale's —long passes to a player cutting for the basket—is often driven toward the corners by the defense, so that a chest or push shot is most difficult if not impossible to execute, Then the best play to make is the two- hand shot over the shoulder, the shot explained in the accompany- ing sketch. It is made by Hfting the ball h both hands over the houlder, “elbows bent, in_order to carry the ball to the side away from the guard. Yale depended on it last season, both in shooting for the basket and in passing from the corner, when her cut man was foreed ‘to that section of the court. Usually the pass was made as the player jumped. Simmen, Yale's center, was espe: expert in ex- tracting hix team from dificulty with this shot.
