A 15-game base ball schedule includ- ing several contests of more than usual interest has been arranged for the Gon- zaga nine, it has been announced by Father O'Hurley, athletic director at the 1 street school. | Gonzaga's first game will be April 21 with Tech, with whom a home-and- home series has been arranged. Two | frays each already have been carded with Eastern, public high champion; Georgetown Prep. Swavely, Charlotte Hall, Hyattsville High and single games have been listed with Episcopal, West- | ern and Catholic University Freshmen. If Coach Orrel Mitchell can develop strength in the pitching department Gonzaga should have a strong team, as he has a flock of seasoned performers at hand. As the bulwarks of his dia- mond squad also are basket ball players | and have just finished a hard season on | the hardwood, Coach Mitchell, with the first game more than & month in the offing, will not get his diamonders down to serious work for some time yet. ‘There may be some conditioning work | but nothing strenuous will be tried for | the time being.

Tonight's match was the fifty-ninth in which Naval Academy teams have engaged during the 11 seasons, and of these it has won 56, the other 3 being draws. The climax of the match tonight | came in the 175-pound class, the sixth bout, when, with the score favoring the Navy by 3 to 2, Capt.

FOOT BALL RULES MAKERS TO MEET | %Will Consider Suggestions March 21, 22, but Changes Appear Unlikely. NEW YORK, March 15.—Although | the foot ball rules committee has made | it clear that no changes would be made | in the rules this year because of the | recodification of the old rules, the com- | mittee will have basketfuls of sugges- | tions to look over when it holds its | annual meeting next week at the Abse- con Golf Club near Atlantic City. The committee picked out this se- cluded spot to do its work on March 21 and 22 so as to be out of reach of the numerous suggestion bearers who in the past have swooped down upon the committee in a flying wedge. As the recodification has been quite a job, the new code will require in- tense consideration, free from outside turmoil. It is understood that the new code of rules has been considerably condensed and in its new form all the rules will come under some 13 heads, each one with the subsections required for explanatory purposes. Bombarded With Arguments. As the rules in their present form number 27, with more than 100 sections or thereabouts, it can readily be seen that the process of absorption through which the rules have gone at the hands of the recodifiers has been a decidedly effective plan of shrinking. The committee has been bombarded with arguments for abolishing the point after touchdown. The Foot Ball Coaches’ Association at its meeting here at first recommended that the point be abolished, but on receiving information that the rules committee decided to make no changes for another year at least, the coaches did not force the suf tion. is proposed change, however, along with scores of others, will come before the committee from other sources. The point after touchdown has come before the committee frequently in past years. Coaches Have Own Ideas. 'Two other features which the coaches want changed have to do with the double foul and the sideline play. In the present rules when a double foul where the play started and counted as & down. e coaches favor a distinc- tion between the fouls, and if one penalty calls for more yardaj the other penalty in the double foul the side against which the more serious foul was committed should receive the advantage of the difference in ylrdlre. The coaches also ll'fufl that the play which sends the ball out of bounds when the scrimmage is near the side- lines is a waste of time and should be waived, giving the team right to bring the ball out 15 yards and put it into play with the loss of a down. ‘The coaches, however, will not sub- mit these suggestion to the committee at next week's meeting, but will hold them over until next yes NORTHWESTERN WINS EVANSTON, Iil, March 15.—North- tional collegiate records and topped off their performance by wifining the Western Conference swimming cham- plonship in Patten Pool tonight. Mich- igan, conference champions for three straight years, was second. The Purple swimmers won six of the nine events and enough seconds, thirds and fourths to collect 45 points. Michi- gan scored 31, Minnesota 12 and Illi- nois 11. Towa and Wisconsin scored 7 each and Chicago 2.

I holed my ap- proach shot on the seventeenth.” “Great stuff,” the locker room brigade chorused as Clarence Wash- ington Jones raised a weather ear for the details of the good news. “Did you get a deuce?” some one had the nerve to ask, and the chest of the man who holed his approach shot dropped an inch or two. “Well, you see it was this way, boys. It wasn't so bad after the third brassie shot had put my ball just off the edge of the green. But it sure gave me a kick to see that little pill disappear over the edge of the cup for my 4. Yes, sir, boys, that's quite a thrill.” And every one chorused that it must have been. The player who did the stunt was Watson B. Miller and the scene was the Washington Golf and Country Club yesterday afternoon. The curtain of silence must be drawn over the balance of the round, according to Miller. LONE CLOSE CLASH IN A. A.

I Maryland have reached an ad- vanced stage in preparation for hard campaigns. ‘They are the base ball aggregation, tutored by Burton Shipley, and the lacrosse combination, handled by Jack Faber, with the able assistance of Ivan Marty. Coach Geary Eppley, after a success- ful indoor season, will get his varsity trackmen out this week, and the tennis players and the various freshman squads will be out in a few days to tax the fleld at College Park. Squad Is Formidable. Shipley has a bright outlook in base ball, with a fine nucleus of veterans and some clever recruits from the 1929 freshman nine. Wilfred Higgins, catcher; George Harry Milburn, Harry Hess, Jack Batson and Harry Boublitz, pitclenrs; Capt. Pred Hetzel, first base- man or outfielder; Julie Radice, first baseman or outfielder; Melvin Derr, shortstop; Jim Wislon, third base, and ‘Tom Jones and Roy Tansill, out are his leftovers. Argur Hauver, big pitcher; Bernar Rosen, .catcher; Bozey Berger, second baseman; George Chalmers, shp ), and Paul Cronin, outfielder, are leading recruits, although Charlie May, outflelder, and Ralph Sterling, catcher or outfielder, also are capable per- formers. Radice, a second baseman last year, and Hetzel, who played first, were the leading and second best hitters, so the one who does not land the initial sack Job will be used as a flychaser. Has Half a Team. Pive letter men, Jim Kelly, goal; Capt. Al Heagy, first defense: Harry Wilson, second defense; Ossie Beck, center, and Bill Evans, in home, the country’s lead- ing scorer last Spring, and Charlie Dod- son, cover point, who was kept out most of last season on account of a leg in- jury, form the nucleus for the lacrosse .

Skippy Faber, brother of Jack; Joe Settino, Pat Rooney, Al Pease and Ray Koelle will come out at the close of foot ball practice at the end of the month and are expected to prove of much help. in lacrosse and Washington and Lee in track.
