SWIMMERS SEEK ACTION CHANGE HOCKEY RULES
Canadians Make Radical lnnova-
tionS in the Game.

After a sauabble that has lasted ever
since the ending of last season the Cana
dian hockey players have smoothed out
their difficulties. This has been accom-
pished with some radical changes In the
championship games. the schedule begin
ming on December 81. the Canadians will
play three twenty-minute periods. instead
of two thirty-minute halves, as has been
the custom under the old rules. Further
more, there will be an increase of FIVE
minutes to the rest periods. This makes
the games longer. as there will be a full
hour of playing, with the two minute
rests, SO that, without taking account Of
the time out. the matches will require one
hour and twenty minutes.
Regarding the changes which have been
made the Canadian hockey legislators say
that they have taken leaf out of the re-
vised rules OF American football for the
present year. There has long been a move
ment among the Canadians to shorten the
playing periods because the fast play upon
the ice soon weakened the best men, Con-
siderable discussion followed the change,
but the Ottawas. Wanderers, Renfrews La
Canadian and the Quebec teams all sup
ported the changes.
The difficulty, however, chiefly waged
been settled. for this season at least, with
a limit of $500 for the highest priced skat-
ers. While they were about it the legis-
lators likewise changed thesname of the or
ganization. In fact, it practically amounts
to new governing body, with the title of
the National Hockey Association Of Canada
Altogether the association will be com
posed of not more than seven clubs, al
though it is understood that only five will
compete for the championship In the series

College Water Athletes Want
Records Recognized.

The rapid growth of swimming in the col
leges has awakened the Intercollegiate
Swimming Association TO the necessity OF
gaining from the Amateur Athletic Asso-
citation due recognition of its aquatic rec
ords and a movement is now on foot TO
induce the governing body to have the list
of standards published In the, year book.
The sport is now established on iirm
basis More colleges are constantly taking
1t up. and the performances are being i'm
proved upon so consistently that there ap
pears to be no good reason for delaying the
acceptance of new marks. Nor is it likely
that the Amateur Athletic Association Of
ficials will make any objection to granting
the request. provided the usual rules are
followed in the applications.
In the past considerable difficulty has
been experienced in getting proper officials
for the college swimming meets, and the
three timekeepers prescribed by the AM
ateur Athletic Union have not always been
available. Such is no longer the case how
ever for the sport is becoming so popular
that a full set of competent omcia1s is al
ways on hand. Otto Wahle, of the Am
ateur Athletic Union swimming committee.
has offered to take up the cause of the col
legians
An interesting bit Of aquatic news comes
from Chicago. In a recent swimming race at
440 yards H. J. Handy. formerly of the IL
linois Athletic Club, and now a member OF
the Chicago Athletic Association, turned
the tables on his two vanGuiShers of last
summer-W. Merriam and NJ. McDermott-
and defeated them decsively in minutes
and 81 seconds. which time shows clearly
that 1t was not through poor condition of
his rivals that he won. but because of his
own return to form. Handys victory sets
at rest the belief that he had lost his speed
and was out of the championship class for
all time.
Western swimmers are improving rapidly.
Perry McGillivray has lost his great sprint
ing ability in taking up the distances, and
his best 100 yard performance this fall has
not been within three seconds of his rec
ord of 81 4-5 but he is very fast at the
furlone. Richard Frizelle, Harry Hebner
and Kenneth Huzzagh have all gone the
classic century around 5S seconds, and even
