Chicago, Sept. IA clearer in
Iterpretation Of the rule regarding
Ishift plays, and the adoption of Il
penalty for teams which are not
ready to play at the time designat-
led for the opening of struggles,
were the salien; features of yester-
days meeting of western confer
ence football coaches and officials
who will handle the big games this
fall.
| After a lengthy discussion of the
shift between Coach Stage of Chi
cago and Yost of Michigan regard
ing the movement of the body with
the feet stationary, Coach Robert
Zuppke of Illinois jumped into the
breach, and the following rule was
adopted:
That after shift is completed
the whole body, and not only the
feet, must come to a perceptible
stop at the same time before the
ball is put in play.
1t will be readily seen that shift
ing players cannot lean in the di-
rection of plays after the shifts
Their bodies do not necessarily
have to be rigid, but there must BIZ
enough pause SO that all momentum
is lost and fresh start must be
made. Coach zuppke was in favor
OF the three-point start, that is, two
feet and one hand on the ground
but the amendment was so modified
as to read as stated above.

Hammond Scrapper Who Is to Be-

Annexing pugilistic titles has BE-
come an everyday occurrence in the

Ind. He accepts them with the
same philosophy that he does 4

weighing only 1856 pounds, he has
grabbed more titles Of importance
than any boxer living, according to
his claims. He has come out Of
Australia with the middle, light
heavyweight and heavyweight
championships Of that country. He
also won the army and navy titles
in these classes in open COMPETE
ton in New Zealand, and added to
this has an undisputed claim to the
middleweight championship Of In
diana.

gion, feels sure that it put its right
foot forward when it came to terms
with Clabby to meet Tommy Co
miskey, the St. Louis middleweight,
in Rock Island, Sept. rs, as the
feature athletic entertainment in
connection with the state legion
convention.
Clabby was happy enough TO
sign up. AS a veteran OF the World
war he is always pleased to show
his stuff before a crowd of vets,
, and then, too, Jim's days of finan-
cial influence have dimmed consid-
; erably as a result of an unsuccess-
full venture into horse racing.
There was little or no quibbling in
i getting his signature to a contract.
Clabby was in Sydney, Australia,
in 1917, when the United States
entered the World war. Consider
ing that it was long journey back
home, Jim persisted the thought de-
, laying his enlistment and two DAYS
| later was enrolled in the ranks of
i the Australians.
, Hundreds of Clabby's admirers
from Chicago will make the trip to
the convention, and naturally they
will be intent on seeing their

will finish his training here and
will be pleased to put on the nit
tens with any of the local aspiring
pugilists.

Boxing is one thing; horse rae
ing is quite another. Oil is a twin
sister to water in the same sense
that an exponent of the manly art
can hope to mix up in the sport of
kings, successfully. Jimmy Clabby,
who meets Tommy Comiskey here
Sept. rs, is satisfied that after all
he was cut out for the ring.
For let it be known Happy James,
the globe trotter," after having
amassed a not inconsiderable for
tune by the simple expedient of
using his fists, conceived the idea
, that as a fighter he was great

At one of the secluded race

was horse Of the variety known
as steeplechaser. The gentleman
who held title to this animal, being
short of funds, and knowing Clab-
, by's ambition to become a solon Of
the turf, eventually unloaded his
meal ticket on Happy James in ex-
change for the lions share of the
Hammond boys fortune.
Now don't get the idea that James
gave up his kale for just an ordin-
! airy nag. Quite to the contrary, for
in every workout the spirited
mount showed championship class.
So when he was entered in his
, first race under the Clabby colors,
the last of the gold saved by Jim
my the fighter was plunged on the
/ four-legged wonder. Jimmy had
the pleasure of seeing his entrant
gallop away in the lead at the drop
Of the flag. Happy beyond words,
James made rapid calculation of
his expected winnings, forgetting
that-as Bobby Burns once said
