10 S Colleges in Three STRONG NORTHERN TEAMS TO DISPLAY THEIR POWER Buchnell Meets Georgetown and Stevens to Play Maryland in Basket Boxers Will Invade Catholic U. BY H. C. BYRD. HREE Northern colleges appear in contests here tonight, two in basket ball and one in box- ing. Bucknell University plavs Georgetown in basket ball and Stevens Institute meets Mary] the same sport, while Fordham's box-| ing team appears against Catholic Uni- versity. Maryland will start its basket ball game at 8 oclock: Georgetown's con- test will not get under way until 8:30. and the boxing at Catholic University | will begin at 9. Central High and the Georgetown Freshmen will play & pre- liminary contest at the Arcadia at 7 30. Georgetown realizes it had a narrow | escape with Mount St. N Saturday night, as it was only virtue of a! break in the last few seconds that it snatched the game out of the fire. However, the Blue and Gray feels it has at least an even chance to win from Bucknell tonight. as the close victory over Mount St. Mary's was due more to the strong team that repre- sents that school than to any weakness in_the Hilltoppers' play. is represented by | good teams in all sports. but basket ball is one sport that almost belongs to| that section of Pennsylvania. It has often been said that there are more basket ball teams in central and western Pennsylvania and Ohio than in any other section of the land. Any way, the game probably will be well played and well worth watching. Stevens Always Good. Stevens Institute is one school that for one reason or another always is hard for Maryland to beat in basket ball. Three vears ago the New Yorkers were barely beaten by two points, two years ago they were one of two teams that won from Maryland all season. while last year the Old Liners again the | season, and ‘The mitt the two universities are to the following line-up: 115-pound class—Ralph or Joe Manno (C.

It is much to the |credit of members of the Maryland squad that they voluntarily took up |the question, threshed it out and | reached their own decision in an effort |to eliminate all possibility of friction of any kind. Tryouts for the Maryland relay team probably will be held today. The old Liners have no outdoor board track and probably will use the one at George- town, the use of which the Blue and Gray has very courteously extended on numerous occasions. In all probability Charley Pugh., who ran first last year, again will hold down that position, with “Knocky” Thomas and Henry Matthews running third and fourth, respectively. This will 3 Pugh's second year on the team and Thomas’ and Matthews' third. The va- cant position seems to be between Kin- namon and Remsberg. with an outside chance for Blanz.

LAWRENCE, Kans, January 30.— Some of our famous coaches declare the elimination of the dribble would place basket ball on & team basis in- stead of & one-man performance, but I say the elimination of the dribble would remove the thriller in basket ball. As it 15 now, we have the triple threat, namely, the pass, the pivot and the dribble. This corresponds markedly to the triple threat in foot ball—the pass, the run and the kick. Dribble Is Big Asset. The dribble is a decided asset to the offensive team. Already the defense with its five-man arrangement has made it difficult for the offense to penetrate it. Take away the dribble and you take away nearly all the thrill of the game. It 18 true that doing away with the dribble will do away with much con- tact, but contact 15 not unwholesome; Indeed it 18 & commendable thing when both contestants are playing the ball. Take away legitimate contact and com- bat from the game and you take away much of its Virlity. ‘The dribble gives the small, clever man a weapon of offense. With this advantage gone, the small man would be outwelghed, outreached and out- lawed. How this new rule, which was passed last year and later rescinded In & storm of disapproval, if it had been success- ful, would have eliminated stalling, 15 | diicult to see. Insiead, It seems that the game would have degenerated into & Bpol passing game, Puzzles the Defense, The dribble affords the team an op- l:anlmlly o drive off at an angle which ads the defense off o a tangent ‘Then, with the resultin pivot and back pass, the player with the ball in his possession can reverse the feld, thereby placing the offensive side in a decidedly strateglc position for the shol at the basket With the elimination of the dribble the teams using Lhe dribble system would have had tl change thelr tactics and muke direct passes, thus robbing the 1-1111 of the pivot and the thiill of wotching a well drilled tewm draw the Aefensive leam away from the basket The main reason given for the ats tempted change In the rules lust year vas that the dribble inciensed rough- 4 BASKETS axo BACKBOARDS RY DR.

The dribbler coming down the field is usually going at a faster rate of speed than the guard. ‘The guard will usually commit the toul when trying to stop the drib- bler. The roughness, therefore, Is not the fault of the team that uses the drib- ble, but the fault of the coaches who did not train the guards properly. Would Cause ColMsions. The one-bounce rule would have done away with the low bounce. The high bounce would have resulted with a con- | sequent run in between. Collisions would have been inevitable wuh more serfous consequences to follow. It 1s also argued that the elimination of the dribble would moderate the speed of the game. But research conducted by the University of Kansas upon the varsity men through the Jast six cham- plonship seasons showed that the long- est total playing time that any player was actually running was only 12 min- utes, Advocates of the anti-dribble rule state that doing away with the dribble will virtually eliminate stalling of the team in the lead. It would be just is easy for two men to stall in the back court even if the dribble were ellmi- nated 1 would suggest that we eliminate stalllng by having a half-inch line drawn across the center of the court. Insert & rule that no vlnyrr on the of- fense can hold or dribble the ball for more than b seconds in his own de- fensive half of the court, The referee or umpire would count just as the of- fictals connt now when the ball is out of bounds. 3 S GRID TEAMS PLAY TIE.

Here a different con- dition exists. Usually, if the receiver geis control of the ball he is in a position to try for a basket. So blocking is carefully done and the guards make sure of keeping between the possible receivers and the basket. This tact is made possible for two layers on attack at that basket to ine up with one of them some 10 feet directly back of the first one in order to use the latter as a buffer for his own guard. To free himself for & shot he would rush forward and just graze the outside of his team- mate in front of him. The latter merely stepped forward to block his own guard. This stunt usually enabled No. 3 to get the throw in and either shoot at once or dribble closer for a shot. It was a play much in evidence in the Missouri Valley Conference. e GRANGER ROUGH CUT 1S MADR BY THE LIGGRTT & MYERS TORACCO €O, SPORTS: urday, the week's athletic program in- cludes several notable events.

Vance has been one of the highest paid flingers In the National League for | | years. drawing down around $15.000 an- | nually. Although probably near the end |of a brilliant career, Dazzy is consid- ered so valuable by the Robins that they rejected an opportunity to trade the pitcher for Rogers Hornsby at the | time the Giants were peddling their second sacker around the circuit. Vance showed a winning and losing record of only 16 and 15 last season. but he was third in the earned-run allowance rat- ing. permitting the enemy to tally at the rate of only 2.70 runs per nine- inning game. | Hoyt, whase pay check last year! | also probably was around $15.000, has ! a sensational record to use as an argu- | ment for more money. The Flatbush | undertaker won 22 and lost only % games, besides finishing second in the | earned-run rating with & mark of 264 Root, participating in around 50| games. showed signs of the stramn to- ward the end of 1927. but finished with a record of 26 victories and 15 defeat rrinkle ball” was one of the m e dell fes exhibited by | | | | rule to every transfer. | Saturdays. 1S CALLED CHECKy ON ANIMOSITIES ;| Value of Code Is Emphasized by Case Between Rocky Mountain Rivals. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. There is talk that Yale, Harvard and Princeton may alter the transfer rule so that each case will be decided on its merits instead of 2pplying a wi@nket le t Before they do this it would be well to forget the Cald- well case, which has brought this rule in some unpopularity at Yale. and con- sider the benefit which it has worked. It is great, as a matter of fact: so great that any injustice done Caldwell is really unimportant. The transfer rule prevents ill-feeling as between two universiites for one thing. If it existed in the Rocky Mountain conference. the present issue between Colorado University and Den- ver University would never have arisen. It seems that Kelly. sub-center on the Boulder five, was at Denver Un versity two years ago. and dropped ou of college. fore that he had d two vears on the Washington Tni i Louis, quint.

Bingham, graduate manager at Denver, protested the older Kelly on grounds of ineligibility, but Colorado has not taken the complaint seriousiy thus far.

There is a growing number of coaches who feel that Spring practice is of less value than it generally supposed, but it would seem to be necessary in the South because of the heat in Sep- tember and early October. ab Stars Balk At Contracts Offered for 1928 of the National League moundsmen.
