COLLEGE MEN
ASK ACTION
Basketball Getting Beyond
Bounds and Definite Decl-
sions Are Requested.
By BRYAN MORSE.

On Saturday, March II, the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania will play
Dartmouth COLLEGE at Philadelphia
in what is expected to be the crucial
game OF the present intercollegiate
basketball league series. AT this
gathering practically all OF the big
men in basketball will be on hand.
The tip has gone around that all OF
the college representatives will be
asked to attend a meeting at which
will be settled once and for all the
status OF basketball as collegiate
sport. Dissatisfaction expressed
over the entire country this year In
the matter of officiating has brought
the followers of the game to the
conclusion that II mas finally gotten
away and beyond bounds.
The hold that basketball has taken
on the collegiate world In the past
two years is astounding.
At all of the intercollegiate battles
this season thousands have been
turned away. In q recent Dartmouth
Columbia game in New York 1000
persons were unable to gain admis-
sion.
In the Middle West. Illinois, Ohio
State and others have played to as
many as 5000 persons. The big men
OF basketball are beginning to see
the game getting beyond bounds for
lack of competent officiating.
HAVE AGREEMENTS.
Secret agreements" in various sec
lions. ignoring Of certain basketball
restrictions, the abolishing OF parts
of the basketball code thought vitality

been noted In various sections.
Teams visiting a certain section of
the country were told before the
games that 1--WE do not call any per-
sonal fouls out here, 1t slows up the
game too much. We have agreed not
to call any personal fouls" The re-
sulting contest was a battle royal
with mo quarter" given or taken.
College men interested in the sport
in an official way declare the referees
and umpires fail to do their duty.
officials come back with the reply
that the "crowd doesn't like to have
fouls called and that the coaches are
forever riding us from the sidelines."
There appears to be so much chaos
In basketball at present that for the
called after March IL, at which time
the matter of rules and their enforce
ment will be settled once and for all.
HAD THREE CODES.
At one time the three separate and
distinct styles of basketball as played
by the colleges, Y. M. c. A. teams and
The Washington times., 1921-03-01

A. A. u. teams under separate rules
hindered the sport.
A meeting of the representatives OF
the three institutions met and codined
the three sets OF rules TO the point
where IL was generally agreed that
there was a uniform code.
At present there appears to be con-
siderable criticism in the way teams
play and are coached, with the result
that the college men think they will
settle for all time just what can be
done and what cannot be done.
Those In authority will take up the
question OF rules and lay down def-
nitely what can and cannot be done
in the game as played now" The tip
has gone around that the game has
gotten beyond bounds and that some
thing drastic must be done to save II.

FUkBLING WOULD
BE AIDED

Hurry-up Yost is the latest
coach TO advocate that the ball
be declared dead in football
after the recovery Of a tumble.
The recovery Of fumbles and
the thrilling dashes which often
follow furnish some Of the most
dramatic moments Of the game.
There is no reason why
football players should not be
coached to handle the ball
clearly. And when they do
tumble there Is no reason why
the penalty shouldn't be severe.
This proposed change is one Of
many which will be passed upon
by the rules committee.

SHREWD TRICKS
OF BOOTLEGGER
ARE TOLD HERE
WHiSkY-SELlERS CHEAT Gus.
TONERS AS WELL AS THE
LAW.

That the boo:legger is a cheat as
well as law-breaker is the verdict
OF the Michigan State Police officers
who have been engaged in lighting
the Illicit liquor trade in this state. II
Is their opinion that the greed of the
men who sell whisky is such that the
latter will scruple at no fraud to make
money.
While the average man is cautious
enough in ordinary dealings, he seems
to be as credulous as a child when it
comes to buying forbidden liquor.
Thus he is the victim of a multitude
of devices by which he buys some
thing other than What he thinks he is
paying for.
Where whisky is sold in casks or
jugs, two favorite tricks are used TO
swindle the buyer. One calls for the
use of funnel inserted in the con.
tainer. The funnel contains real
liquor while the remainder of the
space is filled up with some other
liquid. Or a large portion of the
space is filled with parafin and then a
small quantity of whisky is placed
in tle cavity left.
Where whisky is sold in bottles
there are many devices. Everyone
has read of the soaking off Of labels
and the re-filling of bottle with in
ferior spirits. Or a counterfeit label
is used. Another trick calls for the
emptying of the bottle by means of
hollow needle inserted alongside the
cork and the re-filling with tnoonshine.
The electric needle is also used for
emptying bottles without removing
the cork.
In many cases the bootlegger does
not substitute inferior whisky but
merely adds water and thus makes
three bottles of whisky out OF one. But
there is still another trick used which
has humorous tinge. The boot
logger secures a certain vegetable
preparation which, when added to
water, gives 1t the appearance and
flavor OF whisky but lacks the kick.
The poor deluded chap who pays from
half a dollar to a dollar for drink
of this concoction is not breaking the
law: he is simply being made suck.
er.
However, II is the fact, as devel-
oped by the states chemists, that the
man who buys imitation whisky or
watered whisky is fortunate along
side of the one who buys moon.
shine" II may be that the southern
mountaineers know how TO make pot
able moonshine whisky but the Michi-
gan distillers are sad failures and
their brand OF liquor is both nauseat-
ing and harmful &c. health.

DETROIT POLICEMEN SHOT

Three detectives were shot by
three bandits who held up and robbed
the Morton Bond Company Offices
on the campus, in the very heart of
the city and within block of police
headquarters, last Monday morning.
The bandits, according to two clerks
escaped with $4,000 in Liberty
bonds.
The bandits entered the bond Of
fees shortly after 9 o'clock and seiz-
ed a package of bonds lying on the
cashiers desk.
On entering the Office the bandits
commanded the clerks to lie flat on
the floor and as one them was COM
plying with this command he touched
the burglar alarm. This resulted in
the flying squadron from police head
quarters being on the scene within a
very few moments, and as the officers
attempted to enter the room where
the robbery had taken place they
were shot down without having a
chance to return fire. The robbers
then ran from the building, entered
big green auto which was in wait
ing and made a clean getaway.
Lieutenant Phillip Ellenstein died
soon after being shot and the other
officers were very seriously wounded.
Immediately after the preparation
of the crime every member of the
Detroit police force who could be
spared for the work and the men,
bers of every private detective
agency joined in the greatest man
hunt ever conducted in the city,
but despite all that was done the
murderers escaped capture and so
far as is known there is no clue as to
their identity.
