Do Not Take Kindly to Rolls's
Suggestion TO Change

PHILADELPHIA. January ls.-Ama-
teur blliardists generally a'sfavor the
suggestion made by Mortimer Rolls.
the amateur champion Of this city. to
change the style OF game for the ma
tional amateur championship tourna-
iDents to 1s.2.

have no objection TO the 1872 game.
says Calvin Demarest. I'm some re-
spects l think the 1s.e game fits my
method OF play better than the ~.
but do not think the game should be
made more difficult at present
II do not hear of many 40 or so
averages By amateurs. and II the game
has not become too easy. what is the
use OF changing to the more difficult
style?
that the AZ style is no longer used by
tho professionals. that. according to
my Judgment. constitutes reason why
the change should not be made. Let
that remain ~as difference between
the professional and amateur ganea.."

Important Questions to Be Dis.
cussed and Awards to Be Made
in ". l. A. A. Meeting Friday.

Many important questions will come
up before the meeting OF the Virginia
Intercollegiate Athletic Association,
eastern division, which is scheduled TO
be held in this city. In the Richmond
Hotel. on Friday afternoon at
o'clock. Perhaps the most important
matter to be discussed and settled !s
the advisabllltr OF creating a body OF
permanent officials for football, as is
done to large extent in the East.
The creation of such body is deemed
advisable by many on the ground that
II would do away With all disputes as
to the selection OF suitable untpires
and referees by any OF the teams. OIL
.clals are often selected BY only one
team, without conference with the
other. and there Is, consequently, more
or less dissatisfaction among the mems
bcrs Of the other team. especially II it
be defeated.
To Consider CUP IJOnors.
II for this reason alone the creation
of the proposed body OF permanent off,
cials il very advisable. and by a selec-
tion OF a body Of men known to be
FAIR minded and Just, no real cause OF
complaint can be given. Z
The meeting will take up the matter
Of the awarding OF cups, pennants ant
athletic honors, and a number of othei
matters Will be discussed and settled
There can probably be no pennant
given for the football championship
since William and Mary and Richmond
Colleges are tied in the number q
games won In the league.
If the matter were settled on thu
number OF points instead Of on TIL
games played within the association
\ four games outside OF the membership
of the association cannot be counted
then Richmond College should GER
