 0FICIALS' DECISION

New Orleans, December 29.-At a coll ;. ference between District Attorney Marr and Police Superintendent Molony late today it was decided that squads of pa trolmen will be on duty at the opening of the Business Mems Racing assoeio- tion's fair ground track on January l, prepared to arrest all persons, 'oraliz- CTS" and public alike. who violate the Locke law.
 The deciison of these officials may be followed by q shift of the proposed rac- ing programme from the fair grounds track to the Shrewsbury track. in Jet- ferson parish, where racing has been m progress since Thanksgiving Day. A de- cision on the proposed shift in plans iS expected soon.
 Following the conference. it was stated tonight that the patrolmen assigned to the fair grounds track, in the event the races are opened there. will make ar rests i'll all cases where the system now being used at Shrewsbury is followed. as we'll as in cases where new system IS devised, it be.sg the intention of the of fcials. they state not to leave it to the police to determine if the law is being violated. but rather put the whole mat ter up to the courts.
 If this programme is carried out, u is generally accepted among race track followers as meaning the abandonment of racing in New Orleans by the Bus:- ness Mems Racing association.

Pasadena, Cal, December 29-Practice by moonlight it developed tonight, is the latest resort of Dr. John Wilce, head coa-a of Ohio States football squad 10 get his men into condition for their game New Years Day with the Univer- sity of California.
 Just where Coach Wilce took his men last night for the secret practice was not divulged, but it was believed to have eeen Bovard field at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles A coach for the Ohio team said today the Buckeyes were put through two hours ot the Hardest kind of single practice

 One sporting writer. who yesterday trailed the California squad from Pasd- dena to Paterson field, Los Angeles, where it sought secrecy for practice, an nounced today:
 The Bears certainly went through an afternoon that would make any young man glad to waltz under the showers, and the only apparent reason they quit was in the darkness somebody was liable to get trampled to death and not be lis coverol all right. The California fine rushed the second team forwards like cobblestone through wet paper sack.

OHIO STATE TEAM
 ABLE TO PRESENT STRONG OFFENSIVE
Pete Stinchcomb Is a Power On PIunging Line-0hio's
 Running Attack

Columbus, O., December 2S.-Ohio State universitys football team. which plays the University of California eleven at Pasadena, Cal, New Year Day, while famed as a last minute finisher and d great forward passing aggregation, also has plenty of defensive strength and ability to present a straight football of- fensive in which line .plunges and off, tackle dashes predominate.
 The straight football attack centers around Pete Stinchcomb, al-western conference hafbacS, who bucks the line despite his weight of only 155 pounds, or circles the ends for long gains. Stinch- comb was called the "dodging line plunger' in the western conference, for, while heavier man would blow into the line, he goes in sideways and twists through.
 Next to Stinchcomb, Willaman, the 2o5- pound fullback probably is the great est aid to his teams straight football offensive. Willaman was hurt in one of the early games and missed several of the championship contests. Opposi- tion coaches concede that with Villa man in the hne-np, Ohio State would not have had so many close calls. Villa man Is powerful line plunger In addl- ton he is rangy the defensive
 Blair and Henderson. who alternate at the other halfback position, while not as strong. extensively as Stinchcomb, form splendid interference. On many plays, Stinchcomb trades positions with them so that they do not carry the ball nearly so much as does Stinchcomb. Both are good on the defense.
 At ends, Myers is dependable tackler and a sure receiver of passes. On the other end Slyker and Noel Workman alternate. and both have shown them selves steady players. Workman is adept at receiving his brothers forward passes and Slyker. while not so good at this angle of the game, excels in general defensive work.
 Captain Huffman, a tackle. is a power at opening holes or blocking plunges. A hard-working. steady player, he ranges from one side of the line to the other on the defense so that he gets in every play. Spiers. at the other tackle, proves q good running mate for the team s captain, while Trott and J. Taylor, the guards. are able to give the tackles any help they may need, for Nemecek at center needs assistance from no one
