Speaking of Sports E. C. Sowka and Andrew S. Wes- oly, both of this city, have won their numerals for class football at the University of Vermont. Captain Monjue Zaleski's Ford- ham Rams scored a one-sided vic- tory over the Penn quintet Saturday night. The local boy dropped in five field baskets and two fouls to lead his team in scoring. Tonight at 8§ o’clock, the Inter- City Bowling league will hold its 11th weckly session at the Palace alleys. The feature game will be between the Sani Five and the Pal- | ace quintet. The Y. R. O. C. A. State lcague | teams bowled at the Palace alleys before a large crowd last night. New | Britain defeated Meriden two out of | threc games., Tuesday night, the South End club will bowl its weekly schedule at the Palace. The Inter-City Girls’ league will also roll its games Tuesday night. The Meriden Roller Hockey club ‘was defeated 3 to 2 in a close battle on the Silver City rink yesterday aft- ernoon by Newburglh, the leading | team in the lecague. Ferdie Harkins' &oal in the closing minutes decided the issue. According to reports, the roller | hockey league isn't going o hot and | therc is a grave doubt that the| league will last out the seagon. In| some of the cities in which league teams are operating, business is very | g00d but in others, Meriden especial- | ly, the attendance at the games hasn't even paid expenscs. New | Britain is missed by all of the other | teams in the circuit. Professional basketball returns to | this city next Saturday night when the New Britain National Guards meet the Bristol Endees at the state | armory. This will be a resumption of the present season interrupted by Manager Clarence Lanpher until aft- er the holiday season was over. This game will usher in the New fear for sports in this city. There will be no games next Friday night in the Industrial Basketball leagu and there will be no other sports to | speak of until Saturday night brings | the two court rivals together at the | armory. Promoters of all sorts of sports are finding the going pretty tough according to reports from various parts of the country. Fight crowds are thinner and thinner in New York | and cvery promoter is going slow on | signing up expensive programs. | Hard times hit sports 25 well as everything else. EASKHBAIL DLAYS 3DIAYERS It You Would Enjoy Basketball This Season Make Note of These Im- portant Rule Changes. By EVERETT S, DEAN Basketball Coach, Indiana University Basketball fans should have a fair knowledge of the rules in order to enjoy the game fully. In this article | important rule changes for 1931 will | be discussed and it might be well for | thosc who llkc their basketball to cut out the rules and study them occasionally during the Season Rule 7. Section 3.—A new note states that held ball may be called when a player holds the ball for five econds in the backcourt if an op- ponent is within onc yard of him duiing this time. In other words, | under these eonditions a closely | guarded player is withholding the | Lall from play. This will encourage | aggressive playing and discourage | stalling. | Rule §. Section 6.—On any jump ball, the ball may be tapped twice, bu* not more than twice, by either onc or both of the jumpers, and the ond tap may be made either in- ki or outside the circle. After a player has tapped the ball a sccond | linic, he may not touch it again un- lil it has touched onc of the other | Pight players, the floor, the basket or the backboard " Rule 11. Scction 1.— When time is | iaken out for a personal foul, time | s to be resumed when the ball leaves the free thrower's hands — when it leaves his hands for the last free throw if more than one free| throw has been uwarded. On free | hrows from techaical fouls or dou- | ble fouls when the ball returns to | center whether the free throw is made or missed. time is resumed with the toss at center, as formerly. Rule 14. stion §.—The rule hgainst kicking the ball applies only o0 positive act. Although it is dif- | ficult sometimes to distinguish be- tween intentional acts and those that are accidental, it is better to have the officials guess incorrectly now ind then on this play than to have .he constant and unnecessary inter- ruptions in the game caused by call- ng a violation every time the ball ind foot come together, Rule 15. Section 1.—Cn a ball, 17 a jumper 1. ves the before the ball is tapped, the peval- by is a technical foul instead of a violation Rule 15. Penalty for Personal i"ouls.—If a player who is fouled in ihe act of shooting gets his field 2021, only one free throw is award- :d. If he misses his field goal, two | rree throws are awarded. In elther | lase the ball is in play if the free hrow is missed jump circle Fomorrow—Proposed Rule Changes COLLECTION BOX STOLEN Mass., D 9 (UP)— police chict and severa men-parishioncrs bowes somebody Joseph's vile the ¢ polic heads in prayer, » the collection at St. rch. made AN OLD TIMERS How Tim Gave Out the Phoney Tickets For the Jeffries-Johnsor Fight. Tex Rickard and J. J. Gleason sent me complimentary tickets for the Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno in 1910. I combined business with pleasure by taking over a few car- loads of beer to supply the wide- open saloons. As an advertising stunt, little fun, I had a bunch resembling the tickets, but advertising brewery. The moochers, grifters, gimme- guys, etc., were all out in full force —as at every big fight. My friends told them I had lots of tickets. The pan-handlers would single me out, and I had a lot of enjoyment out of listening to their blandishments, and studying their technique. When the crash would come, I'd take them aside, go into my inside vest pocket, and slip them the brew- ery advertising tickets, with a warn- ing to put them away at once, before and for a of tickets real fight the Maler | the whole town was after me. They'd do 50 without examining the tickets. As the crowds got bigger, I'd put a couple in my breast coat pocket and saunter through the throngs. Some of the light-fingered gentry would get them. Which proves, I'm sorry to say, that everybody isn't honest. « » 8 After the fight, T waited over a day in Reno. Before leaving, 1 call- ed on Rickard to congratulate him on the success of his big venture “And always remember, Tex, I'l be glad to do something for you and Gleason any time I can.” I told him Tex looked at me with that poker | face immobile, except for the chew- | ing of his cigar. “You've certainly done plenty for | us already Tim,” he said—"but morc for yourself." And he handed me a bunch of about 50 of my Maier brewery ads which had becn accepted as tickets by the eagle-cycd gate-keepers at the big fight. WITH THE BOWLERS PALACE ALLEYS A.

GRIFFITH (Cimmissioner of Athletics for Western Conference) Chicago, Dec. 20 (®—The past year viewed from the angle of ath. | letics in the schools .nd colleges | Fas been a highly gratifying one. The building programs in most of the educational institutions have| | gone on uninterruptedly in spite of | business conditions. | The tendency tod lines of mass con of our universitic sub-normal physically are cared for |in the orthopedic departments. The | recreative needs of the student body are conserved by the intramural de- | partments and the superior athletes | |are served through the medium of | the intercollegiate athletic depart- | ments. Only in the institutions| where physical education and ath- letics arc compulsory are all of the students enrolled in courses of this | |sort. In the others, however, an at- | |tempt is being made constantly to | arouse the interest of those who are | | not athietically inclined. Tt is easier | | today to persuade the average stu- | | dent that he should engage in ath- | letic recreation activitics of one sort | |or another than was formerly the | | case, because now the cquipment | | provided him is more adequate than | formerly. | | The attendance at the football | games throughout the United States | | possibly fell oft 10 per cent. The re- | ceipts, however, for 1930 are in ex- cess of the receipts of 1925. The falling off in attendance has for the | most part been in the general pub- lic sections, The students and faculty have attended the games this year in about the same proportion as formerly. The general pesstmism which is a result of dissatisfaction with the| present financial and political eon- | ditions in the United States has to a4 certaln extent pervaded the col- leges. The cynical writers for a num- ber of years have ed that our college sports been unduly commercialized. The politicians and others have been attracted by the general popularity of college foot- ball and consequently have at- | tempted to *muscle in” on the con- | trol of the spectacle and the ath. | letic institution. The Carnegle Foundation which has upheld the British conception of sport has generally found fault | with our American :thletic institu- | tions because the latter are dissimi- lar to the former. Groups of alumni who have wanted to dictate athletic policies have annoyed college presi dents and because of this and other factors thera is a growing spirit of dissatisfaction with the whole thing The American people, however will not condemn :ny Institution because of its absorbing interest. If college athletics disturbed t scholastic work of the collepes, and it has never been shown that thev | do, and if it is necessary to abolish :nr curtail intercolleglate athletics .n lorder to conserve the health anj recreation interests of the general student body, and in writer's judgment. it is not ne to do this, then intercollegiat letios should be abolished, curtailed or de- vitalized. In conclusion, the writer views the future with a spirit of optimism. | | He believes that 1931 will see sports | activities of all sorts fostered as be- | fore by educational institutions and he refoices in the fact that our sports ideals are being and will con- tinue to be shaped by ampteur or- ganizations that for the most part {are responsible for our play activi- ties students who ar: the ry Gigantic Portuguese Fighter Faces Italian Heayyweight Thursday at Boston Arena. | New Santo, moth, York, Dec. 23 (P—Jose| 269-pound Portuguese behe- battles Roberto Roberti, It ian heavyweight, in Boston Thur day afternoon, Madison Garden’s Friday night show bri together Matco Ora, Spanish heay weight, and Plerr Be gium.
