Middletown High lost its first game of the season yesterday on its home floor yesterday afternoon when it |went down to defeat for the second time this season at the hands of ’Crosbv High of Waterbury, 21 to 15. {The battle was hard faught at every IM and was witnessed ‘by the | biggest crowa that ever saw a game in the Y. M. C. A gyvmnasium. The quintets were tled at the end of the first” half, 6 to 6, and during the first five minutes of the second stanza the locals held the lead. However, Wa- terbury’s experience and weight wore down the Middletown team toward Ithe close of the game. Middletown | greatly. missed the services of 1liam | Murphy, their star guard, who was \ineligible because of poor scholastic standing. Charles McCourt last night suc— cessfully defended his title of the three-cushion billiards championship in Cleveland by defeating Horace (Jess) Lean, by a .score of 1560 to 146. The match went ninety innings. For the first time in the history of the University of Pittsburgh anh athlete has been awarded his fourth letter in as many sports. James De Hart, the football star, who this season made his first appearance in jintercollegiate basketball competition, 1s the athlete to first achieve this honor. Many have been awarded let- ters in two branches, a number in three, but until now no one had ever been able to accomplish the feat of achieving four. ¥t 1s a record that has been tried for by numerous ath- letes for years, but it was left to the versatile De Hart to finally accom- plish the seemingly impassible task.

Sanford, an outsider, given the privilege of the floor and a Bowling League at Y. M. C. A. Ends ‘With Games Last ' Evening—Moly- neaux and Pickop llqnor ‘Winners. The bowling league which has been m prozrena during the winter at the M. C. A. alleys closed last eve- nln‘. The Bachelors defeated the Elites two out of three games thereby win- ning the league championship and the gold medals offered by the association to the winning team. Molyneaux of the Bachelors made the high three string score of 302 and Pickop of ithe Kamels made the high single of Was 1116 of the league. The fast Viking team defeated the chance to expound his suggestions for | ;xo.mels two out of three games, fin- changes explained here last Mondnv ishing second place. morning. Sanford’s mission: in pn.rflcular was to make a defense of the multiple kick, which he invented last season and the legality of which has in some quarters been questioned. The session was opened with the | Kamels organization of the committee for the vear. Edward K. Hall of Dartmouth agaln was elected chairman, while ‘Walter Camp once more was chosen secretary and editor. Several members of the committee sent substitutes. Alonzo A. Stagg of Chicdgo was represented by J. M. Sheldon, while Lieutenant Francke of the army, who was to have made his | first appearance on the committee, to which' he was chosen last December in place of Lieutenant Phil Hayes, sent John E. Wood to speak for the ‘West Pointers, Others present were Dr. James A. Babbitt, Haverfor Fred W. Moore, Harvard; Parke H. Davis, Princeton; Dr, A. H. Sharpe, Cornell; Paul J. Dashiell, Navy; Dr. Carl Williams, Pennsylvania; Dr. Harry L. Willlams, Minnesota; C. W. Savage, Oberlin, and Dr. W, A. Lambeth, Virginia. Clyde Willlams of Iowa State neither ap- peared nor sent a substitute. The bulk of the discussion centered about the forward pass. The ques- tion ‘of glving the side with the ball better protection in its use of the pass came in for a long debate. The rule now on the books provides a penalty of fifteen yards for roughing the re- ceiver of a forward pass. Last season many teams intentionally roughed the 'man about to get the toss and took Bertini . Very often | Andrews a chance on the penalty. the guilty players gat off without any loss and even if the penalty were im- posed many coaches, thought it best to. lose fifteen yards rather than the greater number of yards usually gailned with a long toss. . It was suggested by some that the penalty be imposed from the point where the foul occurred. Various dis- tances from five to fifteen yards were proposed. However, at a late hour, the proposition to initiate any penal- ties from the point where fouling accurred was disapproved by most of the committee. According to what little could be learned of the discussion one of the committee proposed that the penailty for roughing the receiver of a forward pass be increased to twenty yards. That, it was thought, would be suffi- clent to discourage any intentional fouling and would give the side on offensive plenty of protection. ‘" Arguments massed against {mpos- ing a penalty from the point where the foul occurred included the possi- bility of . scoring largely through a penalty.
