Grafton was involved in the deal, it

Peckinpaugh has been captain of the
American league champitfls, and is
rated as one Of the lost brilliant
shortstops in the country. |. Scott also
has been an infield star for several
years. having established a record for
consecutive games played ID the major
leagues.
The need of strengthening the Yam
KEGS pitching staff by the, acquisition
of reliable veterans, such as Bush and
Jones. was made particularly impress

and the club owners shortly afterwards
announced they were in the market to
fill this need.

NAVY BOXERS BUSY
IN T|TULAR BOUTS
Of PACIFIC FLEET
Elimination Matches Begun
Last Week and Will Run on
Into January.

Los Angeles. Dec. 20.-The season
for boxing and determination of
championship of the Pacific Fleet in
all classes of the ring started last
week and will continue until early in
January, about seven weeks of fighting.
Boxing matches will be held on ship
and ashore to determine leaders on
each ship, division and shore estab
Gshment, and finally at fleet head
quarters here next month the : fleet
championship matches will be held.
Championship of the navy will be
determined during the annual joint
maneuvers next spring at the Panama
canal when the fleets meet. Boxing
is a part of the athletic program of
the fleet and is arranged not only
under supervision of fleet officers. but
the results count in ON the athletic
record of each ship. The U. S. S.
Mississippi holds the championship for
all round athletics won on points last
year. This includes boxing, track and
field events. basketball, football. base
ball. swimming, boating and general
athletics.
Lieutenant Commander Mckee is
fleet athletic officer and each ship and
station has an athletic officer.
In addition to the boxing season
1leet smokers Wltn DoSHs eAnloitious
are being held every five weeks or so.
The last of these just prior to the
opening of the boxing season last week,
was on board the battleship Texas, Of
which Commander Charles r. Clark is
athletic officer.
Some three thousand enlisted men,
and officers, attend these smokers aud,
according to Commander Clark. they
are a valuable asset toward the main
tenance of morale and fitness among
the enlisted men Three officers from
separate ships judge the bouts, and at
the Texas smoker one of the judges
was Lieutenant II. X. Leventen. light
weight, who represented the navy at
the Antwerp Olympic games this year.
Boxing in the fleet is limited to en-
listed men, and some notable expon-
ents of the gloves have been developed.

New York, Dec 20.-When the in
tercoIlegiate football rules committee
holds it annual meeting in January it
is reported that Harvard will offer
a suggestion for modifying the forward
passing game which will arouse much
interest and also will meet with some
approval although it is considered im
probable that the rules committee will
vote to adopt such radical reform.
According to well posted football
men. Harvards plan involves the COM
plete elimination of forward passes
during the last five minutes Of the
fourth period. At Cambridge, the
gridron mentors say that forward
passing methods have been used by
various teams in the final stages of
games in such q manner as to subject
the sport to ridicule. Beaten elevens
have resorted to these tactics in sheer
desperation and yet have accomplished
nothing.
Makes BurIesque Game.
Throwing the ball around promiscu-
ously. the Harvard coaches argue,
simply burlesques football and doesn' t
please the spectators. The attitude of
the Crimson isn't selfish, it would
seem, in view of the expertness of the
backfield in making forward passes
count in their general plan to attack.
1t is the abuse of the passing game
which Harvard is anxious to curb and
it will not be surprising if the sug
gestion to be filed with the rules COM
mittee is supported by Yale, Princeton
and other leading football institutions
in the east.
AS matter of fact, forward pass
ing has become SO great factor in
the modern game that it now is re-
garded as exceedingly dangerous and,
as a result, it does not appeal to the
old guard which still is anxious to ad-
here to orthodox methods. Harvard's s
proposed reform is extremely interest
ing. anyway, even if the rule makers
cannot find way to accept it.
Encourage Drop Kick.
Drop kicking for goals has figured
prominently in many important games
this fall and should be encouraged. 1t
requires skill and nerve to send the
ball over the cross bar in this man
ner Field goals are spectacular and
often win games. For this reason,
several members Of the rules commit

tee are inclined to increase the value
of field goal-either by drop kick
or from placement-from three to four
points By increasing the value Of a
goal from the field( these rule makers
believe that scientific drop kicking
would receive widespread development
and, incidentally, would vastly improve
football.
The kicking Of goals after touch
downs should be abolished This meth
cd of scoring one point is both unin
teresting and stupid. When in olden
times the ball was punted out from the
goal line for fair catch from which
the trial was attempted, a certain
amount of skill was required to kick
the leather over the bar. But with
the goal trial now made directly in
front of the posts, regardless of where
the line was crossed for touchdown,
the practice has become puerile.

STANFORD DEFEATS
! RAY|VESFORD HIGH
At BASKETS, 28-26
Contest Anybody's Until Final
Whistle; Winning Score
Made in Last Minute.
Special to The Tribune

ISpeclal TO lne lflDune.
Stanford, Dec. 2O.-The Stanford
high school basketball team began the
season in vigorous style by defeating
the fast quintet from Raynesford high
school % to 26 last Saturday evening.
It was anybody's game from the time of
the first score until the final whistle
was blown.
The score was 1926 with about one
minute to play when Coach Bracewell
of Stanford substituted Ted Waddell
for Willis. This proved to be a good
hunch as the diminutive football quar-
terback showed that he could connect
with the hoop and shot neat field
goal, winning the game for his team.
Every player on the team put up
scrappy exhibition, Brownlee and Willis
starting the game as forwards, Nebel
as center, and Stucky and Riach as
guards. Nebel and Riach broke up
many plays and excelled in floor work.
Stucky held the noted Vaskey to two
baskets, thus proving himself capable
of handling any high school forward in
the state.
The game was exceptionally interest
ing to the crowd, which yelled and ap-
pleuded continuously. At, first there
was disappointment because the boys
and girls teams of Moore did not show
up, but the Raynesford team was Sc
cured at the last moment and more
than gave the spectators their moneys
worth and furnished hard competition
for the Stanford boys.
On account of the storm, part of the
Raynesford girls team were unable to
catch the train and SO the two local
high school girls teams played cur

Getting It Straight

Answering the suggestion of The
Herald that the business OF stopping
rum.running is not up to the prohibi.
ton director of Vermont, but to the
collector OF customs. the Burlington
Free Press harks back TO an editorial
paragraph in The Herald of few
days previous which said.
THE Free Press demands a man for
United States marshal who will en-
force the national prohibition law.
Where does the contemporary get the
idea that such work as that is up to-
the marshal? And what, by the way,
does it consider Collins Graves has
been hired for?"
To explain the situation in words OF
one syllable. as it were:
The business OF enforcing national
prohibition is the business of Mr..
Graves. The business of executing
orders of the court in connection with
prohibition. rum.running. or any other
offense against the federal law, is up
to the United States marshal. The
business OF guarding the border is
up to the customs office.
OF course, after consignment of
contraband liquor passes the border it
is within the jurisdiction of the prohib
/ ition enforcement officer, but 1t is not
/ necessary for him to establish out
4 posts and career from one to another
/ in an armored car. with a machine
/ gun mounted on the running board.
Even under the somewhat hysteri.
cal administration Of Mr. Graves pre-
decessor, there was no attempt made
/ by the federal enforcement officer
+ to stop cars at the border 1t was
after they entered Vermont that they
became liable to attack by the Bur.
! lingt0n officers.
In this connection the Free Press
/ says
II the collector of customs must
take the place of both the United
! States marshal and the prohibition d..
/ rector in connection with rum.run.
! ming, we shall expect to hear next that

| hill and Cushing) have taken up pis.
