One of the most important changes
suggested is the merging of the ad-
visory and faculty committees with a
combined membership of five instead
of eight. Heretofore the faculty COM
mittee has served merely in an ad-
visory capacity with no voting power.
Under the new plan. three of the COM
mittee's members would be appointed
by the institutions winning first, sec
ond and third places in the annual
intercollegiate meets, and the other
two are to be appointed by the presi-
dent of the association.
These and other important recon-
mendations will be submitted to the
plenary session of the association here
on March 5.
The changes urged in the athletic
program are the substitution of a
three-mile run for the two-mile event
and the addition of the javelin and

Plays That Puzzle
BY BILLY EVANS

Credit this situation to "bonehead"
work by the batsman. With three
balls and two strikes, and the bases
filled. the batsman, a right-handed
hitter. shifts to the left side of the
plate as the pitcher delivers the ball.
He remains on the left side only mo-
mentarily, and then starts to first base,
convinced the pitch is a bad one. max
ing the fourth ball. The pitch is a
bad one, the ball striking the ground
about a foot in front of the plate. Is
the batsman entitled to a base on
balls. and does the runner on third
and the other runners have the right
to advance a base?
No Runner Can Advance.
The batsman is not entitled to a
base on balls. though the pitch is a
bad one. He is out. for moving from
one side of the box to the other while
the pitcher is delivering the ball to
the batsman. He had no right to step
from one box to the other and then to
decide the pitch was ball. The UNI
pire does the deciding. The pitch is
not the fourth ball. therefore no rum
ner is entitled to advance.

literally cuffed his opponent about the

thing that would anger Leonard. The
feeling persists that Leonard has jack

Leonard.

arrangements have been made to
bring together the best quints in the

Basket ball is gaining headway in
