Great Season In Prospect.
All in all. the indoor season should
be the greatest. in point of popularity
at least. that the sport has known.
Mhile the character of competition
should be thrilling. AS already hint
| ed. there is no certainty that the OLD
stars VIII meet newly risen rivals
altnough. as also intimated. no one
can really tell about this. A per-
sonaI impression is that Gene Sanger,
AZ. i. A. T., the hur,lIer who has
made rapid progress with the new
running dive form developed by AL
| MCCALL, the former Stevens coach
stands with Erbal and Romig as the
newcomers likeliest to attain stellar
| lelsnts. AS to existing records. the
| one mat would appear to be in great
est danger is the high jump. In vari-
GUS important meets we will see al
least SIX entrants capable Of doinS
| SIX Feet three indoors, and with such
d group there is always a chance that
existing figures will be shattered.
Western Basket Hall.
princeton reports speak of thei
rough game of basket ball PLAYED by
chicago in the course of the Tigers
recent western trip. Princetonians,
however, recognize that this was due
not to muckerish design on the part
OF the conference five. but to the
style Of game they play out there
! wn!ch more closely resembles foot
pail than the eastern game. In fact,
basket Dali as western officials per-
NIT 1t to be played often is as rough
as a prize fight The whole thing is
merely difference in conception of
what basket ball is and how il should
| be played.
| When Pennsylvania and Chicago
| Were struggling for the championship
| last winter the Midway five won out
west, while in Philadelphia and
Princeton, where the two final game
were played, Chicago found that the
! officials of the east would not permit
| them to exercise the latitude in tho
matter of body checking and the like
which go out west. And so Pennsyl-
, vania won. While in Chicago last
fall I talked with public school ath-
letic officials and others and found
their opinion to be that the court
IL
be played in the west, could stand i'm
provement.
That Coast Game Again.
My friend Grantland Rice. SUBJ
scrlbes to the statement of a corrc-
spondent that the University of Cali
fornia eleven could defeat any team
in the country by two touchdowas.
Since. as Mr.. Rice knows. it is 80
simple a matter to be exact in pre-
dieting the outcome of foot ball games
it is hereby suggested that the two
touchdown opinion be set aside in IA
vor of the following:
California would beat any team in
the country by a score of 100 to 0. If
the temperature were hot, if a team
did not take its own water west and
if it had a merely elementary defense.
2S to 0.

There are many things that need
to be changed" Mr.. Heydler sad. 80
that they will fit in with the general
ethics of the new agreement between
the major leagues and the new agree
ment between majors and minors
which is to be presented to the latter
1t is likely that new form OF
players contracts will be drawn up,
one that shall embody the new prin-
ciples of base ball
All Must De in Accord.
'1 can't say just what clause may
be inserted, but something should be
put in to aid in putting down evils
that have infested the game in late
years. Players. magnates. league
officials and everybody connected with
the handling of the game must be in
accord with the ethical side of the
next agreement.
ut may be that new set of rules
will be drawn up for conducting the
world series in future, as well as the
distribution of the money from the
series and from other post-season
games. The idea of permitting the
a percentage of the receipts instead
of stated sum may come up for
discussion. 1t is possible the new
national commission, or rather the
new governing body, may need
larger portion Of the receipts than the
former 10 per cent, because under the
new conditions it may cost more to
run the game"
Sentiment among minor league lead
ers seems to have veered in favor of
the proposed new national agree
ment. according to reports today.
President Mains of the Ontario
League. a member of the committee,
said today, after a conference with
President Sexton of the National As
ISOLATION of Minor Leagues, that he
believed the minors and ma orS
would get together. with Judge Lands
as the boss of them all. A copy of
the new agreement as drawn up by at
torneys is in the hands Of the minor
league drafting committee. Some
concessions are sought by the minors,
1t is said and indications are that
they will be granted.
Grin Opposed Agreement.
One reason for the unsettled opin-
ion Of the minor leagues. it is said.
is the fact that the American
Leaguers have not signed the new
major league agreement. although
they voted to 1 to accept 1t in New
York. Until the ANGLICAN League
magnates sign their own major
league agreement, che minor club
owners say, they are hesitant about
forming an agreement with that body

FOREST FIRE PATROL
COVERS SEVEN STATES
(By Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. Is
Aerial paths to all national forests
in California, Oregon, Washington,
Montana Idaho Nevada and Utah
will radiate from Mather Field here
during the coming forest fire season,
under plans being made at present.
Five aerial patrols will be on duty
constantly during the fire season,
with reserve aviators on call at
Mather Field. 1t is a theory of the
army that forest patrol work is excel
lent training for aviators and close CO.
cueration between the war department
and the department of agriculture,
which controls the forests, has been
decided upon.
In all, five air squadrons and 1000
men will form the complement of
Mather Field under plans announced
unofficially. The field, it is believed,
soon will be the largest air service
training station in the western de-
partment of the army.
