Smart basket ball teams all pack a surprise play or two from center jump to use at some strategic moment of a close game. Coaches of these teams fully realize that plays of this nature cannot number many or be too often used. The rub with them is that all have some weakness that a smart de- fense will take full advantage of when either fault is overdone. Indiana uses such a play with much success when it has a center who could control the tap. Just as the ball is tossed up the two forwards move to the same side of the floor to draw with them the opposing guards. Immediately the No. 5 guard on Indiana rushes at top speed for the basket through the opening made for him by his forwards. The center taps the ball to his rear, | SO takes a fast step backward, catches it and whirls it with both hands to his No. 5 guard rushing for the basket. If the gyard is covered the same idea is worked with a pass from the center, No. 3, to the free forward. (Copyright, 1830.)

By the Assoclated Press. INNEAPOLIS, Minn., January 16.—With the University of Minnesota making last-min- ute efforts to keep him as head foot ball coach, Dr. Clarence W. Spears started today for the West with the offer of an $11,500 annual salary as gridiron coach at the University of Oregon_awaiting him. Dr. Spears was elected coach at Oregon at a meeting of the institution’s executive council at Eugene last night, and he will meet Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the Oregon school, at Missoula, Mont., Friday to discuss final acceptance. Coach Spears has been dissatisfied with management of athletic affairs at Minnesota, especially over financial matters relating to assistant coaches and their salaries. The Gopher mentor re- ceives $7,500 a year at Minnesota and devotes all his time to foot ball. At Oregon, in addition to the salary in- crease, he would be permitted to pra tice medicine in the off foot ball sea- n. ‘The senate athletic committee, govern- ing body of sports at the Gopher insti- tution, held a hastily called meeting late yesterday to discuss the situation with Dr. Spears. While the meeting was behind closed doors, it is under- stood that Spears aired his grievances fully and presented conditions under which he might remain here. Whatever decision the committee reached, if any, was not made public, put probably was referred to Dr. Lotus D. Coffman, president of the university, who is in Washington, D. C., and who is expected to return Sunday. Dr. Coffman said at Washington last night he had wired Dr. Spears to withhold his final decision until the president could confer with him. Whether Dr. Spears will accede to this, was not learned here. Dr. Spears came to Minnesota five years ago from West Virginia Uni- versity. During his tenure as coach at Minnesota, the Gobhers have wone 28 games, lost, 9, and tied 3.

En route to Missoula Dr. Hall will stop off at Portland to call a meeting of the executive committee of the State Board of Higher Education for final ap- proval of Dr. Spears' selection, which was made at a meeting of the Oregon Executive Council here last night. Tom Stoddard, president of the stu- dent body and chairman of the execu- tive council, announced Dr. Spears would receive an annual salary of $11,500. This is $3,000 more than Capt. John J.

Champions and Their Chances for 1930. No. 1-BOBBY JONES. OBBY JONES has held one of the major golf championships of the world every year since he first won the United States open | For seven years no one has been able to shake loose | some form of coronet from his ample brow. In these last seven years he has won nine major champion- ships—the United States amateur four times, the United States open three times and the British open twice. " He starts 1930 wearing the crown of the United States open, which he won at Winged Foot last Summer, and he has also picked 1930 for one of the most ambitious programs of his career. leave early this Spring to take part in the Walker Cup matches, the British amateur and the British open. He will return to defend his title in the United States open at Minneapolis, and later to make his bid for the United States amateur at Merion. B in 1923. This means that the still-young Georgia attorney, who will be only 28 in March, will have a shot at four main targets before 1930 slips into the fogs and mists. ‘With four volleys before him, it is hardly likely that Jones will miss the entire flock. In fact, there is a good chance that he will bag at least two. His hardest test will come in the weak- est field, the British amateur. His best chance will come in the United States amateur at Merion, for by this date he will be seasoned and at his best. Figured down to probabilities. Jones should win one of the two opens and one of the two amateurs. This is asking a lot from any golfer, even from a Bob- by Jones. For he could still play fine golf and not win any of them. Of, the four he would rather win the British amateur than any of the others, because this happens to be the one major title :filhu yet to take back to the red clay s. Now at His Prime. T the age of 28, the United States open champion holds the remark- able record of 15 years of competitive experience. He was playing in impor- tant Southern tournaments when he ‘:e.sc 13, and even then he was hard to at. At 28 he still has the sinews and the stamina of youth and the exparience of a veteran, It might be recorded that, while he was beaten in his first match at Pebble Beach, back in September, he broke the course record four times in four starts, just before he fell before young Goodman. Jones is more than fortunate in be- ing thoroughly grounded in the funda- mentals of correct swing. With this foundation he also has one of the keen- est touches, one of the surest, around the greens, that golf has ever known. Putting is more®a gift than anything else. The Georgian can miss many shots and still score brilliantly through his He will power of recovery and his marvelous short game—meaning chips and putting touch. There are any number of fine golfers with a long game that have both power and control. but they are unable to fol- low up a long, straight drive and a win- ning iron shot with the putting touch that gets the ball into the cup. Jones and Hagen have been the best of the Iot at this art since Travis and Travers dropped out of tournament play, and not even these two masters had any- thing to spare on the two just men- tioned. IN addition to the fundamentals and 2 winning touch around the greens. Bobby Jones happens to have two of the most useful of all golf qualities— determination and concentration. When you add relaxation to this group you have the Big Three of golf’s mental side, which is the major side. Jones has always had a battle on his hands against tension, which happens to be the opposite' of relaxation. But there has never been any question con- cerning his ability along the lines of determination and concentration. He isn't easily discouraged and he can keep his mind on the main work at hand. In the two open championships he will have such stars to face as Horton Smith. Hagen, Mac Smith, Armour, Farreli, Sarazen, Diegel ers of high rank. Yet chance to bag one of these two medal play crowns—with an even chance to win either the British amateur or the British open. He usually has been good for one title, with two targets to shoot at, so he shouid certainly be gcod for one or pos- sibly two titles. with four volleys to fire. As this mav be the last foreign in- vasion he will face in some time, he will make the supreme effort of his ca- reer to set a new mark for champion- ship tournament play.

ATHOLIC 'UNIVERSITY'S Cardinals, waxing desper- ate, will attempt to break a losing streak tonight, with the chances all against them, when they meet the smart Duquesne University team of Pittsburgh at Brookland. Duquesne put the bee on American University last night, 27-14, and only a few night before the Eagles had whipped the Cardinals. In view of all this, a victory for C. U. tonight would be a whopping upset. The Cardinals have lost five times in a row. It's one of the blackest periods in Brookland basket ball history. Most of tonight's excitement probably will be. produced by the preliminary in which the Cardinal and Maryland Uni- versity freshmen will meet. This promises to be a hammer-and-tong scrap, with the Cardinals striving to get even for two defeats last season. The Maryland cubs aren’'t as strong as a_year ago and the Brooklanders are. This game will start at 7:15 o'clock. Even though Duquesne has the upper hand in the varsity contest, with the outcome almost a {mmz con- clusion, the Brookland gym ly will be well filled with spectators. The rivalry between these institutions was given color last Fall when they played the most spectacular foot ball game of the season here, with Duquesne taking a close decision.

PURJE, FINN RUNNER, “IN BAD” WITH A.A.U. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, January 16.—The rigors of a warm New York Winter for one who is accusiomed to Finland's cold are threatening to cause .trouble for Eino Purfe this year just as they did for his famous countryman, Paavo Nurmi, a vear ago. Purje, scheduled to make his first appearance of the in- door track season at the Pastime A. C. games last night, withdrew at the last minute because of a case of tonsilitis and promptly found himself in bad with Amateur Athletic Union authorities. Nurmi was suspended indefinitely when he did not turn up for the na- tional championships last year. Purje sent a doctor’s certificate to Daniel J. Ferris, secretary of the A. A. U, saying that an attack of tonsilitis would prevent his running. In Nurmi's case a physician also certified as to his illness, but the phantom Finn had the misfortune to have it delivered a few days late. An investigation, similar to the one planned concerning Purje, also con- sidered whether there were other rea- sons for his failure to compete and finally exonerated him after a long suspension. : s Sy PRO HOCKEY RESULTS.
