CGOOD many colleges that built stadiums with the ex- pectation of paying for them from foot ball re- ceipts are face to face with just two alternatives—defaulting on some of the bonds they issued to borrow money or drastic curtail- ment of their athletic programs. There is not much doubt that it will be the programs that suffer, because no university if it can possibly avoid it is | going to default on payment of money borrowed to erect a stadium. At least one achool has had to avail itself of | both alternatives, the University of | Towa having cut down its program and Iailed to meet its bonds when due. University of Washington, out in Seattle, now is said to be in a posi- tion where it must meet not only a big payment on principal and interest due on bonds January 1, but also must take | care of $40,000 in short-term notes due | immediately, which it presumably bor- | rowed to carry on its general program until the end of the foot ball season. It 1s said to be the feeling in Seattle | that the university will have to elimi- | nate virtually every one of its inter- collegiate sports except foot ball and basket ball | Purdue and some of the other Middle ‘Western schools are cutting down their activities to the point where it hurts. 'HREE college basket ball games are | slated here this week, with the | clash between Maryland and Wis- | consin Friday night in Ritchie Cofl-i seum at College Park being the fea- | ture. It will be one of the high lights | of the season, as it will put on view the Meanwell system., one of the most widely used in the country, with Dr.| ‘Walter E. Meanwell, its originator, di- recting the Badgers as they demon- | strate it. | George Washington will play a good team, but one it is expected to beat, when it takes on the University of Bal- timore five in the Colonials' H street gymnasium tomorrow night. Both Maryland and George Washing- ton will not play again until after the holidays. | Gallaudet has two more tilts this| year, one of which will be with Wilson | Teachers’ College at Kendall Green Fri- ‘ day night. The Blues also have a clash | with Columbus University at Tech High | gym on December 30. ASHINGTON COLLEGE, which has its home in Chestertown, over cn the Enstern Shore of Marylend. is expecting to have one of the best basket ball teams it has developed in many years, whizh is expecting a good deal, inasmuch as some exceptional fives have ‘worn the colors of that school. ‘Tom Kibler, who coaches basket ball, a5 well as foot ball and base ball, is one | of the best all-around coaches in the | country and his strong point is basket | ball Kibler coached ~championship | teams at Ohio State and since that, at Lehigh and Washington Oollege, has done excepticnal work.

It was predicted before | the game was played last Fall, when it | took place the Saturday before Thanks- glving, that North Carolina would turn over & good deal of ground in order to get the date earlier in next year's list. It did just that. The Tarheels had no desire to meet | Virginia again on Thanksgiving day, with only five days between its contest | with Duke and the Cavaliers. To that Carolina attributes in no small meas- ures its defeat of last Fall at Virginia's hands. And also Carolina lost to Duke, and nothing is worse for Carolina in | sthletics than to drop consecutive con- tests to both Duke and Virginia. SUNDAY SCHOOL LOOP BASKET BALL GAMES| Mount Vernon M.

ITTSBURGH, Dscember 17— Driven indoors by a peiting snow, lashing the silent sta- dium, Pitt's gridmen clashed | today with Pitt stars of used-to-be, trouncing the alumni 7-0 in a rough- and-tumble family fued waged beneath the gaunt rafters of an armory. Piled up for three scoreless periods by the Gibraltar wall of the “Old Grads,” the varsity, ennzln¥ in its final home drill on the eve of its de- parture for the Rose Bowl battle with Southern California, was snatched from the brink of a humiliating tie by a tele- phone call. IT happened this way: Bill Kern, a line coach at Pitt, took his position at tackle with the alumni as the teams lined up at the start of the fourth quarter, Pitt holding the ball on its own 45. “Hey, Bill,” called a side-line joke- ster, to the ex-star of the Green Bay Packers, “you're wanted on the phone. from scouting to scamper and waltz 55 yards on a magnificent run for the only touch- down of the afternoon.

Before anything can be done, & chairman to succeed the late Ed- ward K. Hall will have to be ap- pointed. This lies with the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and will ve attended to at the annual convention of that body here late this month. It seems almost certain that Bill Langford will be selected for the post. There is no other logical, can- didate, and Langford is entirely logical, not only because he knows more about the foot ball rules than any other man in the country, but because of his tact, his common sense, his breadth of view and his force of character. As to changes in the rules, a can- vass of officials and coaches con- ductzd by the writer reveals no desire on the part of any one for material alterations. The feeling is that the rules have worked out pretty ‘well—well enough, at all events, to warrant their retention. * MARINE BASKETERS | TOPLAY 3 GAMES 'D. C.

The changes wer:: labeled the “blocking rule” the “.0-second rule” and the “three-second” rule. To begin with, the committee out- lawed the familiar term “legal clause: block” by inserting the following “Blocking is personal contact which impedes the progiess of an op- ponent who has not the ball.” 'y shutting off an opponent henceforth should be called “screening.’’ The 10-second rule. aimed at speed- ing up the present palsied play, reads: “(a) When a team gains possession of the ball in its own back court, that team must advance the ball over the center line within 10 secoids unless the ball, while out of control of the team, touches or is touched by an op- Ranks Recalls BY WILLIAM H.

AH address delivered in Gainesville by the late Prof. Albert Lefevre, then | chairman of Virginia's Faculty | Committee on Athletics, had a great| deal to do with the first eligibility standards adopted by the Southern Conference. What Dr. Lefevre said 12| years ago is just as timely, if not more 50, today. “In a soll of subterfuge and deceit good seed shall not be planted.” This was not voiced as a forecast of failure, th the that a union of the . I A. A. with the Conference of Southern State Universities would see an end of jealous bickerings. This was not to be. Dr. Lefevre saw an untimely end for whatever “organi- zation would have for its corner stone the basic principle of the reciprocity of mistrust and distrust.” Such a basic weakness led to the split in Kncxville last week. “No membership In any association can ever properly lead to abdication of the moral autonomy of the individual college,” Dr. Lefevre stated. “Each in- stitution must assume the fullest re- sponsibility for its own athletic dis- Pposition, attitude, obligation and honor. “If the eligibiiity of players of one college is to judged by officers who are not res| le authorities in that college, then faculty representatives are led to adopt the attitude of the lawyer, who by profession takes a partisan view and holds a brief for his clients. They cease to be open-minded executives, su- premely responsible for principles and policies which should make for the at- tainment of ideals of justice, fairness, purity, truth and honor in our sports- but wif S. I R. LEFEVRE concluded by turning the attention of his hearers to ‘what he regarded as certain evils that still persisted in intercollegiate ath- letics. he named as playing foot ball games away from the home campus, the migratory or tramp athlete, and the playing of Summer base ball for pay by college men. ‘The South lags behind the West and North, Dr. Lefevre pointed out, in its control of “the perpetual, perennial Break in Southern College | i Dr. Lefevre’s Address of Dozen Years Ago! problem of Summer base ball for money.” He asked why institutions that have taken such a decided stand against professional foot ball still per- sist in “a ue and fantastic logic that would counsel us to nullify the amateur rule against receiving money for base ball.” Dr. Lefevre ended his address with an impassioned plea for the adopting of strict regulations against the paying of college athletes for Summer diamond play.

Wallace Wade, Duke's coach, says of the Southern Confer- ence: “We will not be harassed with the distrust, suspicion and politics that existed in the old conference, almost a! togther between members of the seced. ing grouF." “It will be interesting to watch both the Southeastern and the Southern nces and see which advances | Confere! fastest along the lines of sound re- forms,” writes Zipp Newman of the Birmingham News. “There never was. much chance to whip unethical schools into line in the old organization.” Anthony McKelvin of Raleigh’s News | and Observer predicts a bright future for the South Atlantic group provided it can withstand outside pressure to in crease its membership. He writes, “Har- mony prevails within the 10 members remaining in the Southern Conference: there's discord in the baker's dozen forming the Southeastern. The 10 sur- vivors know a topheavy organization is a bad business. They are very likely to decide that, for the time being at least, it's better to move along with the char- ter members of the reduced ranks.” ToughVFoe Listed By French Eagles ICH EAGLES, local basket ball pros, will go after their sec- ond victory of the season to- day when they engage the Osage Trenton Professionals of Trenton, N.

BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, December 17.— Chicago, in 1933, will be the sports capital of America. Almost every champion- ship event of major importance, from the National Open golf tournament, down to horseshoe pitching, with a heavyweight championship fight, or the next | thing to it, will be decided during the Century of Progress Exposition next year, This was the forecast tonight, after a | survey by George F. Getz. millionaire coal operator, and chairman of the gen- eral sports committee in connection | with the exposition. Getz, with his as- sociates, Avery Brundage, president of the National A. A. U, and J. Lyman Bingham, secretary of the committee, have lined up a stupendous list of ma- Jjor events for the coming year. Included are the National A. A. U. outdoor track and fleld championships, the swimming championships, cross country run, hand ball, weight lifting and gymnastics, all Natiohal A. A. U. title events. In addition, they are plan- ning a championship lacrosse match be- tween Canada and an American tesm: the National Amateur Challenge Cup in soccer: also the national fencing champlonships. ‘IN addition the national outboard motor boat races may split the waves of Lake Michigan, if the committee is successful in landing them. In golf, the National Open, National Women's, Western Open, possibly the | Western Amateur and the Western Men's Match Play Open and Derby al- ready have béen awarded to Chicago. Getz, with Mayor Anton J. Cermak, Sheldon Clark and others, are laying plans for & heavyweight championship fight, involving Jack Sharkey, or failing | in'this, intend to promote a heavyweight contest with Max Schmeling, the de- throned German titleholder, as one of the principals. Jack Dempsey, the old Manassa Mauler, may be behind the battle as promoter. Getz was one of the co-promoters with Tex Rickard in the Dempsey-Tunney fight fought in Soldier Field in 1927, while Clark was | ome of the judges. 1I_[OR«SE RACING in Chicago next 1 year will be the richest in the world, topped off by the $85.000 Arlington classic to be decided at Ar- lington Park in July.
