FIRST FEST PLANNED
FOR SKI RUNNERS
New Club Plans for a Grand Get
Together Meeting
Tuesday.

The first fest of the Minneapolis
Skis club will be held Tuesday even
ing at Thoresen g hall, Cedar avenue
and Eighth street. Everyone who ever
mounted a pair of skis or anyone hav-
ing the slightest interest in skiing is
invited to participate as there is no
bar as to age, sex or nationality:
Skiing costumes will not be de rigeur
unless about foot of the much wanted
snow should appear in the meantime.
The purpose of the fest is to make the
ski devctees Of the city acquainted with
one another. It is probably not known
that there are seven or eight prize win
ners from Norwegian and Swedish tour
naments living in this city, but such is
the case and the majority of them will
be on hand Tuesday evening. ~ IT.,

rules when the intercollege rule-makers

both predicted by District Attorney
John G. Bell, head of the University Of
Pennsylvania athletic advisory and
member from that institution of the

tee. Mr.. Bell, when asked his opinion
as to what action would most likely be
taken by the rules committee, outlined
the probable changes as follows:
First Substituting distance penalty for loss

ground. '...> s'.>.t. :. 49, -.
Second-Changing the rules 50 as to allow

is quite likely" said Mr.. Bell,
t'that some changes as I have indi-
Gated will be proposed and something
done along these lines also Of course
not necessarily in exactly the above
mentioned form. The loss of the ball
when the forward pass is missed, at the
point where the pass was made, is en-
tirely too severe a penalty. It has had
the effect of discouraging forward
passes and is thus in direct opposition
to, the tendencies which the committee
wishes to- promote. It is probable that
instead 10 or 15-yard distance penalty
will be DrOnOsed = ~ .-s-.,- g.. :

Backfield Overworked.

AT present the backfeld men play
practically all the game in the attack.
They are overworked. The line men
should be given chance to run with
the ball provided they are not used in
mass plays from tackle to tackle and
it seems to me that this is the senti-
ment of a majority of the committee.
1T should be possible for quarter
back who has run to one side with the
ball to make a forward pass over the
now prohib ited 10-yard line zone FIVE
yards each side Of the center.
"There is widespread agreement
Of opinion that something should be
done to strengthen the defense inside
OF the 25-yard lines. Now a team is
practically compelled to resort to old
football when near the opponents goal
line, and the handicap Of only three
rusheS to make ten yards is too great.
obviously the forward pass and on
side kick inadvisable here and many
games this season have proved that at
this point the back needs strengthen
ing. The remedy suggested is one more
down. t l-.-
fThe time should be heightened to
thirty-five minutes, as many big games
this year have only ninety minutes
from first to last. -. 4 - -.

to one was the score by

STwenty-one to one was the score by,
which the Junior girls basketball team
won the annual interclass tournament
at the state university last night.
Having won easily over the sophomore
team, the fast quintet from the junior
class found the freshmen, who had just
defeated the senior aggregation, an
easy proposition.
The senior quint lined up against the
freshmen first, and altho they fought
hard to uphold their dignity against
the underclassmen, the latter began
early to score, and succeeded in record
ing six baskets against the seniors in
the first half. The freshmen were
quicker on their feet, and showed fine
variety of team work.
In the second half the seniors did
their only scoring Of the evening, reg
istering a basket from the field and
point on foul. The freshmen threw
two more baskets, however, making
the final score 10 to in their favor.
Rose Marie Schaller and Irene Dunn
starred for the seniors, and all during
the last half the whole senior team
fought hard to stem the tide of defeat.
The Preliminary.
The juniors were paired off with the
sophomores in the preliminary contest,
aHu gained an easy victory by the
score of % to 5. The sophomores were
. the first to score, but during the last
OF the half had no further chance. The
team work of the juniors was superb,
and at no time was their goal in dan
ger. In the first part Of the second
half, however, the freshmen began play
ing with rush, and succeeded in scor-
ing on field baskets twice. During the
rest of the game, however, the juniors
scored almost at will, and won by a
wide margin.
The two winning teams were then
paired off for the final championship
contest. and contrary to expectations
the freshmen had little chance against
the speedy juniors. Each member Of
the junior team took part in the scor-
ing, and each one played star game.
The freshmen were outclassed in both
the basket throwing and the guarding,
altho eight trys at goal on fouls were
missed by the seniors. The single point
to the credit of the freshmen team was
made by the captain, Florence La
Wayea during the second half.
