WRESTLING SERIES
PLANNED AT MOSCOW
Mat tournaments to Be Seized
uled Between University Of
Idaho, o. A. O. and Washing
ton State College.

University of Idaho, Moscow, Nov. 2S.
Wrestling this winter will make it's
debut as an intercollegiate sport at the
University of Idaho, according to an
announcement made this morning by
Physical Director w. c. Bleamaster.
Mat tournaments will be arranged
with Washington State college and
Montana university at some time in the
near future and an attempt also will
be made to schedule a series of bouts
with grapplers representing Oregon
Agricultural college. Heavyweight, mid
dleweight and lightweight events are
expected to be provided.
Babe" Brown of Boise, clever am
ateur who received his training under
Nick Collins, capital city promoter and
mat expert, will serve as varsity wrest-
ling instructor and also probably will
represent Idaho in the heavyweight
events.
BY way of providing additional room
for classes in boxing and wrestling a
frame building which formerly func-
toned as a students army training
corps mess hall has been moved behind
the gymnasium.

horses excepted under this rule are
those with mile track winraceS made
prior to 1915 ana which have during
1918 or 1913 won within four seconds
Of same over a half-mile track. The
list includes such horses as Adioo Guy,
who made a winrace OF 2:031a over a
mile track in 1917 ana won in 2:O5&
over a half-mile track in 1919, and Hal
Connor, who made q mile track win
race Of 2:11A in 1916 and equalled 1t
over a two-lap course in 1913.
This rule unshackles the fast horses
and places them in the middle ground
to compete with those which have been
raced for a season or two in the slow

in the early closing events on both the
mile and half-mile tracks. Z
The change in the time allowance
rule applies to horses with winraces

horse with a time allowance can be
started In the class to which he is ell
gible at the beginning of the 1920 rae
ing season with his time allowance
added to his winrace. AS soon as he
wins in time faster than that class
the time made by him becomes a new
winrace and his eligibility is fixed by
same to all events closing on or after
that date.
The licensed timer is drafted to meet
the alleged misrepresentation of time.
One will be required at each meeting
where the association does not use a
visible timing clock. The licensed
starter made an Improvement in that
department and the licensed timer will
no doubt check up the side of racing
by which the classification of horses
is established.

Again the drama was enacted in the

Once again 1t was late in tho fourth
period. Big Jim Braden's two field
goals in the third quarter had given
Yale 6 to lead. The shadows of
a speeding dusk were falling down In
that immense amphitheatre. The

the Tiger always fights.

Of stamina and running on their Sec

against the heavy Eli line. The Tiger
was moving forward steadily. Yale
fell back until the ball rested on the

ket was tossed from the Tiger bench.
A figure, unacceptable in the dusk
rose and started a methodically gait
cd trot up and down in front OF the
huddled Nassau subs.
No announcement was needed. The
Tiger rooters stretched their necks and
emitted a loud roar as Murrey speeded
to the field with yell that stopped

ran right back to his blanket on the
bench and huddled up again before the
Tiger rooters had ceased a mad din
attending the tying of the score.
Scheerer pulled his historic feat a
few minutes later and the game was
won.
Murrey played major part. in both
games and to him goes the credit for
being not only a wonderful kicker but
a nervy youngster who could deliver
under such terrific strain.

SPORT SNAPSHOTS

Manager MdCsraw's views on the
movement now on foot to eliminate all
freak and phony deliveries by pitchers
are of more than passing interest.
That the fight to bring about the abo-
lition of freak pitching deliveries from
the major leagues is a move in the
right direction Is the opinion Of John
given in a recent interview. The
Giant leader is emphatic In his denun-
citation Of the practice of applying par
affin, resin. emery or other foreign
substances to the ball and declares
that the shine ball, the emery ball and
the spit ball, too, should be barred by
the legislators of the national pastime
at their next meeting. He would, how
ever, grant a years grace to spit ball
pitchers.
The effort to do away with these
deliveries has my support" says Nc
Graw. "The use OF a. doctored ball by
a pitcher is unfair and has no place in
baseball. When such a practice enters
into a game that game is not decided
upon its merits but upon the chemical
action of foreign substance en- ball
which supposedly has not been tam
pered with. The fans go out to see a
ball game and not a chemical expert
ment.
These deliveries often tend to give
the spectators distorted impression
of the true worth of the pitchers who
use them, and unnaturally curb the
hitting of the opposing players. The
cry of the fans always IL for in
crea sed batting so that the freak de-
liveries are both Illegal and designed

Rest that hurlers who use the spit

This Is because the spit ball always

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN UNIFORM RULES
RECOMMENDED BY JOINT COMM|TTEEOF
CONTROLLING TROTT|NG ASSOCIATIONS
Twenty three Amendments to Regulations Governing Light
Harness Racing Under Leading Organisations of United
States Characterization of wnraces and Addi-
tonal Time Allowances viii Benefit Sport.

By permitting the three year old
PAGERS to race in hopples the associa-
tons have taken a step that will take
these youngsters out of the pasture
field. For years the pacing divisions of
the futurities have proved professions,
contests in them being very rare. This
change will increase the fields where
the topples are not barred by the con-
ditions, while 1t also will give all asso-
Citations an opportunity to put on three
year-old pacing events that will bring
out sufficient number of starters to
make a race.
Dash races will add a snap to the
programs where horses are plentiful
and quick action is desired. Also by
placing them at six furlongs or under
they can be conducted without the
winner being penalized with a winrace.
The two and three year olds will no
doubt become prominent in these
events, while few of the older horses
that can no longer go the regulation
mile up to top form will in them find
another opportunity to race.
Beginning with 1920 the National
and American Trotting associations
will publish the rules which are uni
form and the winrace list in the same
volume.
