SPORTS CIRCUS ACT STATISTICS, BUT DRIVE GAME IS MILD Exercise in Duckpins -No Poundage and Mileage t So Strenuous, Although Figures Startle—Only Regulation Materiel Will be Used. H OW long and How wide is a is correct. Very few. bowling alley? What are the sizes of a duckpin and-a duckpin bowling ball? How many of Washington’s duckpin bowlers—estimated to number from 40,000 to 50,000—can answer these questions? Your answer Yet in The Evening Star individual duckpin championship tourna- ment to be held on January 2-5, bowling will be on duckpin balls against regulation di arm: he Lucky Strike alleys December 26-29 and regulation alleys with regulation uckpins. So for the benefit of the of duckpinners in Washington and vicinity, something is written here to acquaint them with the regulation materiel of the game. Across the head of the duckpin drive is drawn a narrow black stripe called the foul line. Some bowlers have ‘ob- served this. Others seem never to have seen it. At any rate, from the center point of this lh'ge to the center point of the headpin spot the distance on a regulation alley is 60 feet. The alleys are a bit longer over all, though. The spots on the alley are 12 inches apart from center to center, which adds some. In width, the regulation alleys runs from 41 to 42 inches. Standard for Duckpin. As to the duckpin itself, the National Duckpin Bowling Congress specifica- tions for the standard may well be quoted. They are as follows: “A regulation duckpin shall be, diameter at top, 1 55-84 inches; diameter at middle, 4 1-32 inches; diameter at base, 13 inches, and 9 13-32 inches high, and shall taper gradually from the bottom to the largest part of the body, and shall be as near uniform in weight as_possible.” National Duckpin Bowling Congress Tegulations also provide that “sets of pins should be 10 in number and made And that’s why they are called the little maples. Now for the duckpin ball. The ball shall not in any casz exceed five inches in diameter or three pounds, 12 ounces in weight. However, any ball of less diameter or weight may be used. Most bowlers, though, prefer the ball at the maximum limit. Some Exercise Here. Using the regulation ball on the regulation alley, a bowler making the maximum of three shots to a frame in a three-game set of 10 frames to the game will hurl plenty weight a good distance during the pastiming. When he is through with the set, he will have hurled 5,400 ounces, 5400 feet. To mak2 it a bit plainer, he will have hurled 337)2 pounds 1 mile and 40 yards. . Listens like a strong man's circus act, doesn't it. . So it will be seen that those com- peting in The Evening Star tourna- ment will get a deal of exercise. In fact, the men who participate will get more than the women in the tourney, for the men are to bowl five games each while the women will bowl three each, the number on which the figures given above are based. of clear hard maple—no foreign sub- stance attached to or embedded in.” There’ll be exercise and fun for everyone in the event, 'tis certam. MOST BIG GRID TEAMS HAVE THEIR POOR DAYS BY ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Ed:tor. EW YORK, D:scember 6—Foot ball teams that had one “big day” this year are more con- ;plcuans than those enjoying a The disposition has been to “throw out” the days when they didn’t have it. New York University partisans still “throwing out” the George- against Carnegie when the Violets im- pressed the critics as being as violent as any team in the countrs. ‘The Naval Academy had two big days and both were at the expense of teams not otherwise defeated, Princeton and vania. Carnegie had its big day Notre Dame, Notre Dame wgainst the Army and the Army against Nebraska. Teams of the Big Ten and South- i Utah experienced a pair of off days when the team was tied by Creigh- ton and Brigham Young, but Indians went on the warpath any time they met a real contend? v Seldom has there been as much back- fleld versatility displayed as this year, especially by such players as Cagle of the Army, Harpster of Carnegie, Scull of Pennsylvania, Strong of New »| York University, Carroll of Washing- ton, Clark of Colorado College, Crab- tree of Florida, Mizell of Georgia Tech, Hume of Southern Methodist and Peake of Virginia Poly, not to overlook Bronko Nagurski of Minnesota, who alternated between tackle and fullback for the Gophers. Cagle’s ability to throw passes on the dead run is famous, but his skill is no more remarkable than that of Crab- tree, the 154-pound Florida quarter- back, who not only can toss ‘em on the run, but do it with either hand. Crabtree also can kick with either foot, and includes flashy open-field running Ybeen among his accomplishments. Against Washington and Lee last week Crab- the | tree on one play dashed wide to his left on an apparent end run, and while traveling at top speed booted one over the safety man's head that fell dead on the 8-yard line. Tennessee will do ‘well to .keep an eye on this versatile youth this Saturday. Clark backs up his line, averages 10 yards a clip at rushing and 2 touch- downs a game, boots field goals and goals after touchdown, throws or re- ceives passes. Scull is as accurate and reliable a drop-kicker as any since the palmy days of Charley Brickley at Harvard, who once booted five field goals against Yale. Scull's toe has been a deciding factor in close games for Pennsylvania over the past three years. In addition to his all-around play for Wi , Carroll has a record for durability matching that of Otto Pommerening, Michigan’s tackle. Car- roll, once in the game, was never re- placed during the entire season and played continuously in all six of his the | conference contests.

EISEMAN'S, 7th & F : % Regulars | VETS OF FOUL LINE 10 CHECK ROLLERS Whalen, Bogan to Be on Job During Sessions of The Star Tournament. judges will call missteps in The Evening Star's first annual in- dividual duckpin championship tournament, to be held at Lucky Strike alleys, December 26—29 and January 2—5. Mickey Whalen and Joseph A. Bogan have been selected to survey the foul lines. With these two veterans handling the whistle, all bowlers will have to watch their steps.” Neither plays fav- orites and nothing gives either of these judges more pleasure than to catch one of the stars slipping over the black stripe. ‘Whalen has been a prominent figure with the Washington Ladies League since the organization of the circuit. Calling fouls is an art with him. Few can handle the job in such colorful style as the veteran Mickey. Noted as Fair Judge.

It is a familiar story among bowlers that Mickey waited 10 years to catch Harry Krauss in the act of crossing the foul line. With Whalen and Bogan on the job it is safe to predict that there will be few fouls in The Evening Star tourna- ment. Fouls are becoming fewer in league competition since the rule has been generally introduced and bowlers are rapidly coming to respect this rule more and more. Will Check Bowlers. Those familiar with the work of Bo- gan and Whalen know that there will be little chance of getting by with a foul in the big tournament.

NAVY HAS MATERIAL FOR STRONG QUINTET ANNAPOLIS, December 6.—Basket ball practice has started at the Naval Academy with Johnny Wilson, head basket ball coach, who has been assist- ing Bill Ingram in foot ball, in charge. The foot ball men who have reported are Miller, captain of the quint; Lloyd, Byng, Bowstrom and Spring, all guards; Joe Bauer, a center, and Dale Bauer, a forward. All of them, with the ex- ception of Dale Bauer, Byng, Bow- strom and Spring, played on last year's basket ball team. Wilson should have a fast basket ball team this season, as he has many of .the men who starred for him last year as a nucleus for his team. Among them are Dennett and Farrin, forwards; Lincoln, Carmichael, Allen Cambell and Bernet, guards. Allen, however, has been switched to a forward position. In addition to that array, A. J. Miller, captain of the Navy base ball team, is out now- for a guard post. Colestock of last year's team and Joe Bauer are fighting it out for the center post, left vacant by the resigna- tion of Smith last June. ‘Wilson plans to use his system of 1926-27. That season he had two teams, one a set of lightweights and the other a heavy outfit. He used both teams in every game. Navy will open its season with West- ern Maryland on December 15. The Tars will play only one other game be- fere the Christmas holidays with Wil- liam and Mary on December 19. Fights Last Night By the Assoclated Press.

THURSDAY, DEC BER 6, 1928. BAN ON TRANSFERS SOUGHT IN'BIG TEN Eligibility of Foot Ball Stars Questioned—Grid Clashes Listed. BY PAUL R. MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. CHICAGO, December 6.—Question as to the eligibility of two foot ball stars, Mayes McLain of Iowa and Allan Hol- man of Ohio State, threatens to cause discord amohg Big Ten coaches at their annual conference here tomorrow and Saturday. Alumni of several schools in the conference are known to have protest- ed against the two players, charging they were ineligible because they al- ready had played foot ball on other col- lege teams. McLain, Iowa's Cherokee Indian full- back, played with the Haskell Indians for two seasons before entering Iowa. While the Big Ten has ruled Haskell to be a preparatory school, those who protest against McLain point out that Haskell plays against other colleges of importance and should be classed as a college. Holman attended Iowa State College before entering Ohio State and several Iowa alumni have protested to Commis- sioner John R. Griffiths that the Big Ten rule, whereby a player transferring to the Western Conference from an- other college must be eligible scholas- tically and attend his new school two years before he can g‘l:y Big Ten foot ball, was violated in case. To Stick by Men. With the Big Ten foot ball schedules virtually completed, most of the dis- cussion of the coaches promises to center about policy of eligibility and transfer. Both Ohio State and Towa are expected to stand by their claims that Holman, a star quarterback, and McLain are eligible to compete next season. The Big Ten foot ball program for 1929 will be the most ambitious in the history of the conference, the schedules reveal. Eight important intersectional games have been carded and six of them will be played on Big Ten grid- irons. Chicago has two intersectional games on its 'program —Princeton at Princeton and the University of Wash- ington at Chicago. Illinois will meet the Army at Champaign; Wisconsin will play Colgate at Madison, Harvard in- vades Michigan, Vanderbilt meets Min- nesota at Minneapolis, while Ohio State tangles with Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh and the Navy at Columbus. Notre Dame, too, comes in for its share of Big Ten competition, engag- e Wi , Northwestern and In- na. Athletic directors and coaches of bas- ket ball, boxing, wrestling, -rack, base ball and other sports also will convene tomorrow and Friday to draw up sched- ules. It was reported these coaches were attempting to arrange a rotating schedule corresponding with that used by foot ball mentors. COURT~DOUBLE-HEADER LISTED IN ALEXANDRIA ALEXANDRIA, Va.
