IDLER, s Wri BY VICTOR G. Associated Press S < ASADENA, Calif, January 1.— Upon this foot ball city the cyes of the foot ball world centered today on a combat of East and West in the annual New Year day gridiron cl: c in the Rose Bowl A struggle for the mythical supremacy meeting brought n Tornado of Georgia ference fornia, unbeaten but tied So intense was th struggle that a recor esque Rose Bowl. The num E sold for the game scheduled to start a 2:15 p.m. exceeded by many thousands any rose tournament game of the past The zero hour was the signal for the mighty effort of the stalwart Bears to swing the pendulum of intersectional suprem v Stanford a Sout ornia al- ready had done this seas The zero hour likewise marked Tech's effort to attain the brilliant heights reached by Alabama in two previous tournament of roses classics. Alabama’s two brilliant showings in the past had much to do with the Tornado being made a slight favorite by some of the grid experts. But the gen- eral opinion was that the game was a toss-up. Both Are Powerful. California’s strong defensive game had a rival of no mean caliber in the Tor- nado’s forward waill. The Tech forwards stood as an impregnable bulwark against the onslaughts of the South's best. The Bears boasted a versatile ng attack in addition to their strong Benny Lom, passing, charg ing halfback, Schmict, crashing fullback, as its men. The big storm of the South swirled mainly around the triple threat activ- ities of Warner Mi=ll, “Stumpy” ‘Thomason and “Father” Lumpkin. The ‘Tech line also had Capt. Peter Pund. all-America’s center, as a 210-pound buiwark. Pre-game statements by the respec- tive coaches, Clarence “Nibs” Price of California and W. A. Alexander of ‘Tech, were terse and to the point. From the dimunitive Price: “Odds but that doesn't mean and kick- anything to us. Alexander sai “We are ready to win or lose. There will be no alibi.” Neither coach would announce the starting line-up, so scribes were forced to fall back upon the ones used during the past season in making up the fol- lowing layout: Georgi Position.

About every basket ball coach of any experience knows this out-of bounds play from a side-line or end- line. But I wonder if the thousands attending basket ball games almost every night this season of the year have noted the fine of the team having the ball out bounds gain- ing it again on the floor? Usually two plavers of the team having the ball place themselves in court some 10 or 15 feet opposite the man with the ball. Of course, they are guarded by their oppo- nents, the latier standing between them and the man out of The stunt is to fool these oppongnts and get one man free to take the pass in. It's done in a simple manner. Player No. 2 breaks first, angling toward No. 3 and to the front of No. 1. No. 2's job is to fake as though after the ball. He usually draws his immediate opponent, play- er B, with him. If B did not follow him No. 3 would immediately pass to No. 2. When B prevents this by keeping batween Nos. 2 and 3, No. 1 gets considerably into the picture by cutting to the rear of No. 2. As he does this, No. 2 stops. This stop blocks No. 1's opponent, player A, from following him. Now No. 3 passes to No. 1. So the attack be- gins again. ‘Tomorrow—the block for this play. (Copyright, 1929.) COLLEGE HOCKEY.

Tomorrow waits—but it's past all knowing; None can say what the road may hold; No one knows how the winds are blowing, No one knows where the tide is flowing, None will know till the fogs unfold; The road is open as we advance, And up or down, it's a sporting chance. Rough spots—soft ones—all in the scramble, Play it through till an answer's found; Life at best is a half-blind ramble, Fame and blame are a mixed up gamble, Half-blind leading the blind around; A little of this and a little of that, But take your cut when you come to bat. On New Year day I used to wonder Just how the future map was spread; How much glory—how much blunde: Who would move up—who slip under— Marching into the mists ahead; But what we seek through the ghostly fog Is a will-o’-the-wisp in a midnight bog. Well, here's luck if you can use it, Not too pink and not too black; Luck’s no help if you abuse it, One must learn to blend and fuse it With the tougher breaks that crack; For you'll find, though it may irk, There is no substitute for work.

Georgia Tech carries strength and speed in every department of her play and none pulling for her will have to worry in the slightest about her spirit.

What would other collegiate sports do without it? Pennsylvania had an athletic income of $1.089,352.65 for the fiscal year of 1927-28. Foot ball supplied $936,838.56, or almost nine-tenths of the total. Only foot ball and basket ball showed a profit at Penn, while 16 other sports lost sums amounting from $744.28 to $35,609.01. WAYFARER. A Western Outery. Dear Sir: Why do managers of prize fighters insist upon rushing them to the top without sufficient preliminary training? Joe Sekyra, a fine looking heavyweight prospect, was ruined by being taken to New York before he was ready. “Tuffy” Griffith fell a victim to the same policy and numerous other boys have been halted. A long tour of he bushes and bouts with men of no greater experience or ability might have built both Sekyra and Griffith into championship timber. Why the hurry? Of course, the managers don't have to take it on the whiskers—they only collect. OVERLAND RED. According to Jack Dempsey’s testimony it takes about six years to build up a champion—even when the material is there to start with. And this means two or three years roaming through the lighter gloaming, until the candidate begins to learn what it is all about, including use of his hands and feet— how to hit—how to feint—how to do 6 or 10 other things concerning which isn't there or they know too much to be taught—or the teaching in many cases has been wrong. There are good managers and bad managers, but the former happen to be in a heavy minority. And it might also be suggested in behalf of the good managers that heavyweight material just at this moment is extremely wide apart. s Down the Line With W. O. McGEEHAN. Copyright, 1028, New York Tribune Inc. Softening Them Up. 'There seems to be a scftening-up tendency in our own particular sports. Mr. John Arnold Heydler, president of the National League, proposes that the pitcher in a base ball game be allowed an assistant who will do h& batting for him. Pitch- ers are not good hitters because the tradition has been established that it is not vitally necessary that a pitcher should hit. Mr. Heydler wants to relieve the pitcher even of the strain of walking out and taking his three cuts at the ball or letting it sail lazily by him as he stands with his bat on his shoulder. Now come the foo: ball coaches wth a proposal to limit the penalty for a fumble in the game of American intercollegiate foot ball. From the first organ- ization of the game it has been recognized that a fumbled ball is a free ball and that the side recovermiz has the opportunity to break through for a touchdown. Recognition of this fact has been the means of foot ball players being schooled not to fumble. A fumble might give the game to a weaker team. One of the first foot ball commands has been, “You must not fumble.” The new plan is to have the ball declared dead at the point where it i fumbled, doing away with the heart-breaking melcdrama.of the game, the re- covery of a fumble by the defending side and the consequent rush through for a touchdown. That has happened not at all infrequently in the old days. Many a team schooled to perfection in everything but handling the ball has lost games in this fashion to the possibly weaker team in other respects but drill- ed from the start to follow the ball. Princeton has turned out teams that were perfection in following the ball. It was recognized by their opponents that any loose ball would go to Princeton, and with it a possible touchdown. ©ne of the reasons advanced for proposing this change is that the foot ball is of an awkward shape and therefore hard to handle. It has been the same shape since the first intercollegiate foot ball game was played in the United States some sixty years ago. It has been the same shape for Rugby games in England for I do not know how many years previous. It is only recently that anybody would have conceived the idea of limiting the penalty for a fumble. I think that the notion must have evilved from the idea of having no penalty whatever for the fumbled forward pass or the grounded forward pass where the ball is taken back and the offensjve side may continue forward passing until the ball goes to the other side on downs. One other argument is that it is unfair to penalize a team for the mistake of one man, classing a fumble as a one-man error. But foot ball is played by a team, and the team can be only as strong as its weakest factor. Now that the foot ball people scem to be softening up and inclined to make the game more cut and dried, I suppose that the base ball people will continue in their efforts to soften up that game. It might be pointed out that the base ball is awkward to handle under certain circumstances; therefore the penalty for a base ball error should be lightened. Also, in base ball it might be argued that it would be unfair to penalize the entite nine or ten for the mistake of one man because base ball players, like foot ball players, are prone to err. Oh, ves, to err is human, but softening up games to encourage the erring, or at least to make it of no consequence, seems a bit idiotic. But there is no use getting too indignant in advance. This is only ene of those recommendations. Plenty of Assistance. ‘The coaches at their annual meeting only may make recommendations. After hearing the recommendations the rules committee does as it pleases. In the report of Chairman E. K. Hall of the rules committee he makes it quite clear -that there will be no radical changes in the game for -1929. The committee is at work rewriting the rules and the new code may be ready for 1929—then again it may not. The rewriting, according to the report, is more for the purpose of clarifying such rules as are now in the code, without adding or amending. When this work is finished it is to be hoped that the new code will be permitted to stand awhile. By this time intercollegiate foot ball is old enough to have become an es- tablished game. It has passed through some weird changes, what with the shl:ft:ng t:bout of goal posts, the kick-off from various points in the field, and what not. It is surprising how many ideas can be dug up for foot ball changes. The recommendations that come before the rules committee make it seem as though they must have come from a State ‘legislature in full blast or both houses of Congress meeting during the silly season. By the way, Congress is in for & discussion of foot ball, at that. Representative La Guardia of New York has threatened to introduce a bill limiting the price of admission to foot ball games in which the Army participates to $1 a constituent, Then Representative Fish of New York and Britten of Illinois certainly will be in there finding ways and means to bring the Army and Navy together again for the annual foot ball game, whether the cadets of both academies want it or not. Certainly foot ball gets a lot of outside help. CENTRAL COURTMEN |AMERICAN TO TEACH TO MEET TAR HEELS' FOOT BALL IN MEXICO Central High basketers will engage| By the Associated Press. High Point, N.
