Cali Cleve- !land 5770. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 6-—The huddle system of deciding on athletic maneuvers has spread generally since Bill Roper start- ed to make it popular on East- ern gridirons a MW years ago It seems to be necessary, for instance, for Dr. Otto Peltzer to go into a huddle with Amateur Athletic Union officials every time the German schoolmaster displays a desire to get off the mark: It took at least six separate and dis tinct huddles before the doctor finally %alloped out to win his first race in | the Millrose meet. Dr. Peltzer will not make more than three racing starts while in the United States, but he will get plenty of exer- cise sprinting froni one conference to another, ¢ The diffienlty with these huddles is to put any time limit on them as is done on the foot ball field. Gene Tunney and Tex Rickard have been huddling together on Florida Jinks for some time without yet disclosing the signals for the next big fistie play ‘The chief development so far has becn to_put Jack Dempsey on the side lines. Perhaps Rickard has borrowed the Rockne system and declded to save Dempsey for the second half of this year's heavywelght champlonship gan meanwhile using Delaney, Sharke Risko and Heeney as shock troops.

HAHN AND PELTZER LIKELY T0 OPPOSE Will Meet, If at All, in U. S. in K. of C. Games in New York February 29. By the Associated Pr NEW YORK, February 6.—The long- anticipated clash between Dr. Otto Peltzer and Lloyd Hahn will come in the Knights of Columbus meet at Madi- son Square Garden February 29 or not at all, it was Indicated today. With Hahn's refusal to go West for the Illinois A. C. games at Chicago February 10, the K. of C. carnival ap- parently offers the only chance for a meeting between the rival middle dis- tance stars. Dr. Peltzer makes his second Amer- ican appearance in the Illinois A. C. games in a 1,000-meter run. C. meet in his farewell, or return to Germany without making the third ap- pearance allowed him by athletic authoritics of his native land. Hahn already is entered in the Casey mile at the K. of C. carnival and negotia- tions are under way to have Peltzer enter the same event. Whether this can be arranged or not apparently rests with the Amateur Ath- letic Union officials. They have inter- preted a cable German authorities sent them Saturday as restricting Peltzer to a 14-day competitive period in this country. Peltzer, however, maintains that this 14-day period refers simply to the time during which his expenses will be paid. There is no restriction, he insists, so far as time goes, if he decided to pay his own expenses. He has cabled Ger- man authorities for a flat answer as to whether he can enter the K. of C. meet. 2 What the German answer will be re- mains to be seen. The cable received Saturday advised Peltzer to do every- thing possible to conform with the wishes of the A. A. U. If the Amer- ican officials hold fast to their inter- pretation of the time-limit angle of the German star's invasion there ap- pears to be a strong probability that Peltzer will voluntarily restrict himsel{ to two appearances instead of three.

The first thing the coaches did who had their first pet block play from out-of-bounds stopped was to look for a scheme that would cir- cumvent the defense. It did not take them long to find one. Thus, the game became a battle of players’ wits. Today a basket ball coach can impart all the knowledge of the game to his charges that is known, but he cannot make them win. The moves and counter moves on the court are pretty much up to the players. A star is a brainy player or he is not a star. One who is out- guessed more than half the time will lose a game for his team. The counter for the first out-of- bounds play was in turn soon over- come. As No. 2 started in to block C, 50 his mate, No. 3. could be free, he found the play blocked by a counter move on the part of the defense. So No. 2 changed horses in midstream. Instead of blocking C, he made a bluff to do so but turned at full speed to his left, getting a good lead into open territory, taking the pass in and shooting, after his dribble. Thus three plays, starting alike, were possible. This immediately made the first block play a stable of the game, a play that s still very much in use.

Mich., February 6 My last discussion ended pre liminary to the reforms of 1905 and 1906, From the storm of disapproval of foot ball of these two years two events stand out/ One was the insist- ence that mass play and roughness be eliminated from the game. The other was a meeting called by the president of New York University for the purpose of abolishing foot ball. Out of this meeting grew the Natlonal Collegiate Athletic Association and the appoint- ment of a rules committee. The direct- ing influence in the creation of this committes was Gen. Palmer Pierce, who at present is head of the national as- sociation. A part of the fury that descended upon the foot ball rule-makers before that time came from sections of the country to which foot ball had extended. but which had no voice in the rules committee or in making regulations. In the West, open play was popular, and the insistent demand was for elimina- | present rules committee and the crii- | f | Cl tion of mass play.
