‘ 'S SPORTS.” URGE NEW FUMBLE * LAWIN FOOT BALL ;Stronger Elevens Eager to Rob Weaker of Winning Chance Now. Held. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. HE foot ball rules committee meets today in a huddle closed to all outsiders. . The fleld of cogitation will be a. gelf club, near- Atlantic City. From what members of the commit- tee have said, it is.exeremely doubtful if any changes in the rules would be considered, .if it were not for the fact | that plans to rewrite and simplify the language of the code are contemplated l‘nxfthut it is felt that if changes in the rules are ever to be made, that now is the time to make them. Even under these circumstances cer- tain members of the committee are loath to make alternations. The chief | change to be considered is the agita- {tion to call a ball fumbled in scrim- \ mage dead at the. point of recovery, if 4 Tecovered by the defending team. The point made is that the penalty for a fumble of this kind is at present too | severe. Some complain that the best | team doesn't always win. ‘Why should it? ! _ Foot ball is supposed to be a contest. } It the best team is so watched and | protected by the rules that it is practi- ; cally impossible for it to lose, the only | question left before the game will be the ultimate size of the score. Sport reduced to the basis of a mathematical science loses much of its { thrill. Tt is human nature to root for ' the underdog. Spectators certainly do | not care about seeing the underdog muzzled. q Some Comparisons. ( /Beyond an admiration for skill, the #THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO!

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929 THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor =By DENMAN THOMPSON: UDGED by the amount of space devoted to it in the public prints that Shar- key-Stribling affair in Florida a week from next Wednesday will not fail for any lack of adequate ballyhooing. The gentlemen of ‘the press, those ‘who specialize in things fistic, are on the scene in notable numbers and are load- ing the wires with entertaining accounts of the training prepa- rations and recreational activi- ties of the principals. These same scriveners, almost a unit at the time the match was made in harping on the in- consistency of Sharkey and the lack of class among the K. O. victims of Stribling, devoted much attention to deploring the sad state of the heavyweight situation; to doubting there would be anything attractive in a clash between the Garrulous Gob and the Macon Mauler and to predictions the bout would prove a financial frost. It already seems: assured that Jack Dempsey and Bill Carye, representing the Madi- son Square Garden Corpora- tion tc which the battle was be- queathed by the late Tex Rickard, have maneuvered it to the point where no red ink will appear in the final balance and the fact that the fight-writing fraternity is so well represented may be accounted for by the salubriousness of the climate at Miami Beach compared with that of the North. The almost total absence of any prognostications on the outcome of the scuffie is more difficult to .ac- count for, however. As a rule an expert never needs any urging to indulge in his favorite business or diversion—take your choice—yet it is a fact that there has beén a dearth of experting in this regard that assumes the proportions of a famine. Being in mo sense an expert and harboring mo aspirations to be classed as such, this reporter is mot only powerless to relieve the situa- tion, but is wholly unable to furnish an explanation jor this remarkable state of affairs. Of course, it might be that none of the ring-wise correspondents has any well-defined ideas on the sub- ject of whether Stribling or Shar- key will be the winner and is re- fraining from predictions for that reason. This explanation would seem to be too simple for acceptance, how- ever, and from lack of precedent safely may be ignored. With some 12 days remaining be- fore the great event takes place the scribes yet may go on record regard- ing the Flamingo Fiasco or the Miami Massacre, as the case may be, but to date the only comment that has come to our attention has dealt largely with the deficiencies of Jack and Bill as title pretenders. Sharkey, we are informed, while clever and ‘a fast hitter, lacks a finishing punch against a courageous opponent, while Stribling, for all his fine physique, hard jaw and intel- ligent eye, ‘has yet to prove his gameness against a formidable foe- man. * K ok X Via the U. S. Mail February 13, 1929. EAR Sir: I would like to add the sentiments of an Annapolis graduate to those of Mr. Willard Thompson and Charles Whelan in your column, favoring the playing of the Navy-Georgetown foot ball classic of next November 9 at the Griffith Stadium. Although but a resident of Wash- ington for five years, I am an ardent follower of the gridiron sport and have witnessed all the big games played by Navy and Georgetown in this yicinity. These two institutions are. the - outstanding “big league” foot ball clubs of the South Atlantic. Thus the meeting of such tradi- tional and worthy rivals arouses healthy interest among all sports followers. I had the pleasure of witnessing one of the finest 18:; ball battles of a lifetime when rgetown met. Navy in 1926. Before taking up my residence here I had occasion to spend -periods of time both in New York City and the Middle West where I made it my business to take in all the big foot ball attractions, and none thrilled me any more than the meeting between Navy and Georgetown that November Saturday in 1926, It was one of the clean- est though hard-fought engagements, I have ever had the good fortune to witness. Good sportsmanship was paramount on_both sides and the contest was a credit and hearty in- dorsement to intercollegiate competi- tion. I have always thought Navy -lucky to win, as all the breaks went against the Blue and Gray gridders, and: believe that Georgetown at least deserved a tle, instead of being de- feated by a fleld goal in_the last minute or two of play. As I remem- ber G. U. outclassed Navy in yard- age gained in both first downs and forward passes. ‘Whether or not the game is played at Griffith Stadium next Fall as your other correspondents urge, it will be but a matter of a year or two that this will have to be the case, as the vast number of people, not only in Washington, but nearby Maryland and Virginia, that are anxious to see this great spectacle cannot long be denied. A friend of mine attached to the Naval Academy has told me that already 1equests have been made the ath- letic officials there for tickets for the Georgetown game. Therefore, it seems that proper publicity weuld crystallize this vast public sentiment for playing the game in Washington. It is a “natural” in every respect. May the District of Columbia receive this classic next Fall and other coming Novembers as this “plum” rightfully belongs to her. HARLEY P. GREENE. * ok k% Congratulations, Bucky. ‘HE following is submitted by a L Jersey City contributor: “If the Detroit Tigers seek any tales concerning Dale Alexander, their new first baseman purchased from Toronto, for the big fellow’s exploitation as “Babe” Ruth’s logical successor, there is an interesting, and also true, episode at West Side Avenue Park, Jersey City, which they can fall back upon. “One Sunday when the Leafs were playing the Jerseys Alexander en- Joyed such a field day in the first game of the usual double-header that Eddie Kunesh, playing right field for the Jerseys, sported a swol- len left palm and a queer-shapen base ball as souvenirs of the only time at bat in which Alexander failed to hit safely. Oddly enough, it was in this turn at bat that Alex smote the ball hardest. “The spheroid traveled on a dead line straight at Kunesh.. If Eddie had’ misjudged it or muffed it, it was coming so fast that his life would have been endangered. How- ever, he had his glove in the right spot and the ball stuck. It was the third out and he held.the ball. “Coming - in from the outfield, Kunesh was observed to be examining with a startled look the ball he had caught.” When he reached the Jer- seys’ bench, he silently passed it on to his teammates for their inspec- tion. There was no hallucination or: his part, they assured Kunesh. ‘The ball was knocked into a shape resembling that of an egg, Kunesh, despite hands hardened to catching line drives, suffered an aching left palm for days afterward.” Now you tell one. School Basketers to Figure In Trio of Contests Tonight HREE basket ball games in which teams of the District group will participate are listed tonight.

Tech was given quite a battle by Episcopal for the first half of their match'yesterday, but the McKinley team stepped out in the second half to put the game in the bag. ‘Tech was in the van at the half, 20 to 12, but with Capt.

YALE WOULD CLING TO THIRD POSITION By the Assoclated Press. NEW _YORK, February 15.—The Elis of Yale defend their hold on third place in the Intercollegiate Basket Ball League against the thrust.of Columbia’ Lions at New Haven tonight. Columbia’s Lions, cellar occupants last season, have been making valiant efforts to rise out of the depths this year, but so far with indifferent suc- cess. After beating Princeton in their first start, the Lions dropped a game at Hanover to Dartmouth and another to the league-leading Pennsylvania five here Tuesday. In view of these two defeats, Colum- bia’s chances of turning back the Bull- dogs on their own floor do not look particularly promising. Yale has been beaten by Penn, Cornell and Dartmouth on foreign courts, but their only home Dartmouth and Princeton. A victory for. Yale will establish the Bulldogs more firmly in third place with three victories and three defeats. If Columbia wins, however, the Lions will move into third place with two wins in four starts.

Catholic University boxers opened their season with a 5-2 victory over ‘Temple University of Philadelphia in the Brookland gym, while the Cardinal swimmers were beaten by Washington and Lee University natators, 25 to 35, in the C.

ITALIANS T0 MEET GREEKS ON DRIVES First Block of Battle at Coliseum Heads Bowling - Card*Tomorrow. ASHINGTON'S little interna- tional duckpin war is likely to become more complicated tomorrow night when Pete Metrakos sends his Greek- American stars. inst Leo Rinaldi's Italian-Americanr five on the Coliseum: alleys. These teams will meet in the initial five-game block of a match that: will be completed at Convention Hall ini the near future. : Rinaldl’s mates have been waiting; anxiously to get back into competition; since they dropped a close set to Joe: Kronman's Rialto team, an all-Jewish® five, at Convention Hall two weeks ago.: ‘The latter team gained a victory by a’ slight margin in the first block and due to the fact that Kronman is having, trouble getting his team together, the. second block has been. postponed in-: definitely. { The Italians made a. great stand against their Jewish rivals to finish only 17 pins behind after trailing by nearly 200 pins at the end of the third game. Rinaldi expects his team to, take a com- manding lead over the Greek contin- gent tomorrow night. Greek Team Strong. Metrakos, who captains the Bernard Cafe team which is setting the pace in the Columbia Heights League, is more confident that his outfit will make a better showing than either of the other two teams involved in this international fracas. He has a top-notch anchor man in Louis Pantos, who leads the Columbia Heights League bowlers with a 117 figure. Nick Chaconas, one of the first Greek pinmen to gain recognition; Gus ‘Tompros of the National Capital League, George Wallace, Charley Poulos, Louis Chipourus and Metrakos will be on hand. Johnny Plgn, the popular Curb Cafe leader, also is likely to break into the line-up before hostilities close. Tony Santini, Rinaldi, Joe Freschi, Joe Pricci and Ollle Pacini probably will start for the Italians with Johnny Nicro in reserve. Santini and Pacini have earned prominent positions in local circles this year. Pacini was among the leaders in The Evening Star tourna- ment and finished fourth in the Howard Campbell sweepstakes. Santini caused a sensation when he remained in the major sweepstakes front rank until the DOWN THE LINE WITH W. 0. McGEEHAN Big Movement in Ivory.

Mr. Babe Ruth of the Yankees already is in St. Petersburg resolved to do his per- spiring early. The advance guard of the Giants already is encamped. at San Antonio, John Joseph McGraw having dusted the coral sands of Sarasota, Fla., from his shoes forever. Mr. Wilbert Robinson, president-manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is packing his bird dogs in mothballs for the time and in a few days will be roli- ing down the Dixie Highway from Dover Hall, in Georgia, to Clearwater, in Florida. By the way, there has been a movement to change that name to Queer- water since the Dodgers decided to make it a permanent training camp. The Giants are returning to Texas because Mr. John Joseph McGraw, after going through his personal statistics, has reached the conclusion that the Texas-trained Giants were the best Giants of the many vintages of Giants under his charge. As a matter of fact, they might never have left Marlin, Tex., if the food in that vicinity had been even passably edible, But it was so bad that the ball players, who were supposed to be getting free board, bought their meals at the town chophouse, conduct- ed by an ancient Greek. When the hotel food was so bad that the ath- letes would spend their own money for meals, you may take it for ‘granted that it was very bad indeed. - = ° ‘The advance guard of the Yankees seems to be in St. Petersburg already, taking advantage of the early sitting there, There are almost a dozen of Col. Ruppert’s athletes on the open-air benches of that city already. The rest will leave presently to join them before all of the benches are occupied. You must get to St. Petersburg early to avold the crowding of the settees; otherwise you have to stand, and anybody seen on his feet in that city is regarded as essentric. Sitting-down exercises seem to have been quite as efficacious with the ‘Yankees as setting-up exercises have been with some of the other teams. Having won two world series in successive years after the sedentary training at St. Petersburg, Mr. Miller Huggins, the demi-tasse manager, is determined to sit it out at St. Petersburg indefinitely. In days gone by Mr. Babe Ruth always insisted on preparing for his Spring training by boiling out at Hot Springs, Ark. The sign of approaching Spring then was not the swallow, but the announcement that Babe Ruth had started his annual tub. Then the year was at Spring, the Babe in his tub and all was pretty good with the world. But Mr. Egbert Barrow went over the statistics. He discovered that the tubbing at Hot Springs was it. He ive and began to complain about did not see why the Yanks should bathe the Babe every Spring whether he needed it or not, and he began to make some bitter cracks, such as, “If he didn’t go to Hot anyhow?” Springs, wouldn’t he take a bath Eventually. the Babe's bath was abandoned, in line with a policy of efficiency as being superfluous and immaterial. Now you cannot tell from the newspapers whether the Babe lookout for swallows. bathes in the Spring or not. And you have to be on the John Heydler of the National League is training for what he does not know. Mr. Barnard Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain of the American League is ready to step out for the South. Landis is training. It even is rumored that Charles A. Stoneham has bought himself a red flannel shirt with the intent of working out with the Giants. High-Hatting the West. THE Harvard A. A. News seems to be high-hatting the athletic systems of the Western colleges, as the boys would say, and protesting the purity of Eastern athletic ethics a little too much, even though Harvard is included among the Eastern colleges. I read: “Student control of athletics has grown in our Western State institutions with tremendous rapidity in recent years. Whether this policy is sound or not can best be proved by its fruits. “The action final block was completed. ‘Tomorrow night’'s bowling program is quite extensive and varied.
