C. A. A. He not only has the respect and admiration of faculty members of colleges, but also is greatly admired and liked by the coaches. He is credited with as ciear an understanding of college sports and their problems as any man in the country. Certainly his talk Monday night before the coaches’ association and his re-| marks yesterday afternoon in ac- cepting the presidency of the N. C. A. A. were entirely indicative of that distinction.

The whole inference to be from Dr. Savage’s address was that college athletics has a rightful and fine place in the educational programs of the country. but that to make this place as effective as possible some fac- tors ought to be eliminated. Principal among these was the subsidization of athletes wherever practiced.

CHICAGO, January 2.—Coach Craig Ruby's’ inexperienced Illinois basket ball team mests the powerful Butler pre-conference season game. Although Ruby has experimented with his line-up, the Illini have taken two out of their thres previous con- tests, and are hopeful of downing the team that defeated Purdue two weeks ago. Capt.

NEW YORK.—National Collegiate housecleaning after hearing report of committee apj Foundation report, but delegates reject coaches. Athletic Association decided on quiet inted to study the Carnegie plan to abolish gate receipts and paid Grid Rules to Stand for Year Despite a Demand for Changes NEW YORK, January 2.—Further as- surance was given yesterday that the rules of foot ball are safe from the sev- eral offenses launched in their direc- tion. Those who still are clamoring for more or less major changes in the code have been thrown for a loss. E. K. Hall, chairman of the foot ball rules committee, read his report at the yearly meeting of the National Col- leginte Athletic Association in the Hotel Astor and the heart of it was exposed in these words: “As to the rules for the season of 1930 I think I speak for all my associates in expressing the bellef that the ex- periences of the past year have disclosed neither the necessity nor the desirability of any material change in the code. This is especially gratifying as the work of recodifying and rewriting the rules on which we reported p; ‘ess last yeer is now nearing completion, and the necessity of introducing new matter at this time would be unfortunate.” That little word “material Joophole for some minor changes. officials, who, after all, are the best judges, believe that a number of cloudy points must be cleared up to avoid con- fusion and disputes, but with the coaches in meeting on Monday making a strong recommendation by & pro- nounced vote against any changes, and with Mr. Hall expressing the opinion that none is necessary or desirable, the chances are all in favor of hands off for another year at least. The body of Mr. Hall’s report, which was well recelved by the delegates, was devoted to reviewing the past season and explaining some of the major changes made last March, particularly on the new fumble rule. The high spots follow: Season Satisfactory. “From the point of view of the rules committee, the season of 1929 was eminently satisfactory and gratifying. Never have we seen more well fought, closely contested games, such wide va- riety of strategy, less misunderstanding and bickering about the rules or better officiating. Throughout the season evidence continued to accumulate that the changes which have been made in the rules during the past few years are steadily proving their value. “In no case has the evidence been more convincing than in the case of the 1929 fumble rule. At the begin- ning of the season there was much doubt expressed as to the wisdom of is rule. Most of the criticism was so obviously based on a lack of under- standing of the real reasons and the ob- jects it was expected to accomplish that it seemed worth while to restate the principal reasons for this change. “The primary purpose of the rule is to broaden and strengthen the strategy of the attack by inviting freer back- ward or lateral passes from one runner to another. The hazard before was too great. If the pass was not caught and the ball was fumbled, the defensive player, breaking through, might run through an unprotected field for a touchdown. “As a matter of fact, it has very much simplified the rules and this is one of the reasons for its present form. It eliminates the necessity of differen- tiating between an unsuccessful back. ward or lateral pass and an ordin: fumble. The same rule applies in ail cases. If the ball strikes the ground, the opponent may recover, but notf advance it. Reduces Fluke Victories. “Another justification for the rile is that it tends to reduce to a minimum the winning of games by a fluke and the neutralizing of an earned touch- down by one that is unearned. It is generally good, snappy foot ball when an opponent recovers a fumbled ball, but it is usually pure unadulterated luck if the opponent happens to recover it under conditions that give him a chance to run it back for a touchdown. “The two principal criticisms of the fumble rule were that it would tend to promote fumbling and that it would take some of the thrills out of the game. The first of these is absurd if | intended to mean that the rule would | tend to promote careless handling of | the ball. The loss of the possession of | the ball is in itself a serious enough penalty to prevent carelessness. Pos- session of the ball often means the dif- ference between victory and defeat and almost always means as much as the loss of 35 yards of distance. It may be that there will be more balls fumbled if the rule is successful in developing freer passing, but it will be because of more daring rather than more careless handling of the ball. Legistation Is for the Players. “As to the criticism that the rule deprives the spectator of one of the great thrills in the game, it might be appropriate to again restate the fact that the rules committee has always proceeded on the theory that the game is primarily to provide wholesome sport for the hundreds of thousands of boys The who play it rather than to provide thrills for the tens of millions of those who watch them play. There are plenty of other real values that the spectators can derive from watel this game of foot ball that are infinitely more worth- while than an occasional fleeting thrill from a fluke play. “The other two important changes in the 1929 rules were aimed at the screened pass and the so-called ‘boot- leg ball’ Both of these changes have convineingly accomplished their object. ‘The ‘bootleg ball' has disappeared. The officials and coaches have co-operated in making effective the re ing of the rule prohibiting the screen- ing of the forward pass and the screened pass we trust has gone perma- nently into the discard. “It has been interesting to note dur- ing the past season an increasing num ber of goals from . the fleld. coaches are beginning to realize that moving back the goal posts (a disputed point) simply means that the ball must be brought 10 yards closer to the goal line before trying for a goal. It also is gratifying to note a more widespread use of the punt as a powerful weapon of attack. “The recodification of the rules now is in its fourth draft, and the improved code will be in the hands of all before the opening of the 1930 season.” BOYS' CLUB QUINTS 'PANTHERS ABSORB WORST HAVE A HEAVY LIS Twenty Contests Scheduled for Next Week—Interest Unusually Keen.

The Southern Cali- fornia-Pitt Rose Bowl classic at Pasa- dena topped the list, attracting 70,000. Fifty thousand saw the East-West con- test at San Francisco. Twenty thousand were at the Southern Conference fray at Atlan and 15,000 more at the Southwest-Midwest meeting in Dallas. Emerson Aims to “Break Ice” In Game With Business Five MERSON INSTITUTE'S basket ball team will strive tomorrow afternoon for a victory over the clever Business quint, something it has been unable to gain over three other public high teams, Eastern, West- ern and Central. The result of the game, to be staged in the Business gym at 3:15 o'clock, may give fans further insight on the comparative strength of the four public high teams, which with Tech, the defending champion, will be- gin action next week in the champion- ship series. It will be the second game in about two weeks for the Emerson quint and the first in approximately a week for Business. No other contests are carded among schoolboy fives here tomorrow. Emerson will open- its post-holiday schedule tonight, meeting the stalwart Potomac Boat Club quint in the Central High gym at 9 o'clock. The Boatmen already have taken the measure of Cen- tral and Eastern in games with school- boy quints. It appears that Western may not get any further formal competition week. The Red and White’ was sched- uled to meet the George Washington University Freshmen tonight, but the latter have canceled because of lack of preparation as the result of the holi- days. St. John's College junior varsity of Annapolis also has asked that its game with Western, slated for Saturday at Annapolis, be postponed and this contest will be played later in the sea- son. Gonzaga's team, which yesterday de- feated French tossers, 17 to 15, in blistering battle, was to engage a com- bination known as the alumni No. 2 this afternoon in the gym of the I street school. In other court games yesterday Cen- tral bowed to its alumni, 22 to 38, and the Gonzaga Lightweights took the measure of the De Molay quint, 31 to 20, and Tates, 16 to 11, Central's swimming team and a combination of alumni engaged in a spirited meet. A proposed rifie match between the undergraduates and , booked as another feature of the alumni program at the Columbia Heights school, fell through, but an informal shoot was staged, with H. Radue leading the field. Registering 14 points, including six ¥0l15 from scrimmage and two from the foul line, Forrest Burgess was the ace of the crack Central alumni combina- tion which defeated the undergraduates. Ben Burch also scored consistently for the grads, coming through with 8 points. Cross and Parks with 9 and 8 points, respectively, topped the losers' offense. Though they showed to vantage in the final half, the Blue and White team was outclassed all the way by _the older fellows. Fine icompetition marked the swi ming meet and the rifle match also tracted attention. G.FPts. _Cent W I ARET Relay— Wi elay—won by nnet, J. : Won' b ock (Alumni): sec- T Tyman (Centran s third.

Before the first quarter had ended Saunders repeated, this tine placing a long toss within reach of the racing Ernie Pinckert, Edelson’s mate at right half, and U. S. C. scored again. Satisfied with their aerial thrusts, the ‘Trojans reverted to straight foot ball, with Marshall Duffield skirting the Panther end for a touchdown after a Pitt fumble had been recovered on the 18-yard line. Agein, before the half ended, point-earning sod was marked by Duffield, after his pass to Jess Mor- tensen had placed the ball within the shadows of their opponents’ goal. Trailing, 26 to 0, as they went into the second half, the Panthers mustered a rally, going to the air for a pair of touchdowns. Uansa’s pass to Bill Walinchus and Harold Williams' flip to Paul Collins, two of four tosses to succeed in 19 at- tempts, were responsibla for the Eastern eleven's points. These came in the third and fourth periods.

ASADENA, Calif., January 2.—Burdened with a decisive 47-to-14 a New Year day greeting by the rsity of Southern California, Pitts- burgh’s grid squad today prepared to return to its native heath, victim of the most decisive defeat ever meted out in the 14 years of Tournament of Roses competition. The Golden Pitt Panthers, who dug their cleats into the turf of intent on reversing a 7-to-6 beat- by Stanford, left the greensward bowed in their first defeat of the season because they could not solve the puzzling Southern California passing attack. Beginning with the initial touchdown, which came only a few moments after 70,000 persons had filled the stadium, the Men of Troy found scoring possible in four of their seven tallies because of un- erring aerial work. A fifth counter was indirectly the result of a long pass and the others were the result of plunging, driving foot ball. Notre Dame guard, Glassgow, Iowa halfback, and a host of other Eastern performers today as they recuperated from the effects of seeing an all-star West team trounced 19 to 7 here yester- day by an all-star East team. The decisiveness of the triumph left spectators at the contest bewildered. The East scored its first touchdown in the opening quarter on a 25-yard pass, added another in the second, and com- pleted its u:orln;eby means of two ficld goals by Frosty Peters of Tllinois. The.

Coach Jack West's pla; had a lot of fancy foot bell ly for the benefit game, sponsored by the Denver Eiks, and they capitalized on a wealth of de- ception in two uninterrupted marches for touchdowns, one the second , the other in the third. “Red Rabbitt” Jarrett, University of North Dakota halfback, went across for the first score by hooking up on the last lap of a triple pass. Lawrence Smith, Morningside back, scored the other after a series of tackle smashes and reverses. The Rocky Mountain team scored with only a minute left to play, Thorn, alfback, plunged Brigham Young h across from the 2-yard line, culminat- ing a long line-smashing march.

SUPPOSE the average golfer gets his greatest kick by a rousing long drive off the tee. If he is hitting his drives he can get a lot of fun out of & round even if he is kicking away other shots and missing plenty of short putts. It ien't an accident that golf ball manufacturers advise distance as their biggest selling point. Everyone likes to see the pellet skimming 270 ytrsa’ down the fairway.

I decided I ought to be able to hit a golf ball as far as any one. In an effort to get that extra yardage I lost the well grooved swin which is the foundation of my game, began to pull and slice. Maybe I did hit the ball farther, but it didn't do me any good when I had to play my next shots out of the rough or traps. Gradually it began to dawn on me that a player is capable of just so much distance on his drives. An effort to stretch tee shots either results in press- ing or loss of direction, and after all, a straight line is the shortest distance between points. 1 began to realize that I was foolish to let pride ruin my game.
