THE old fashioned. hard. persistent
plugging for facts has rather given
way to short cuts and highly special
lied work in much the same fashion
that the old line smashing-slow but

to forward passes and wide forma-

have it's advantages, I question
whether 1t is as sure to put the ball

Red Grange is the product of the
new school of foot ball and journalism.
Back in the old days there were some
pretty fair foot ball men. too. i am
old-fashioned enough to think Grange
may have found the going rather
heavy in their company. Yet none
of them found it necessary to have a
personal manager to protect him from
frenzied bidders. In fact. / believe
they all had to go to work for liv-

Others Are Overlooked.
But what has that to do with news

three years the scores of hard work

merely recitals of his personal doings.

'"They have done this mainly be-

BASKET BALL SECRETS
Nv Sol Metzpe

The art of catching a basket ball is
frequently neglected by both players
I'D coaches. The result is that poor
methods cost the team using them
many closely contested games which
would otherwise have been won had
these players known how to receive a
pass.
To catch the ball successfully the
hands should be held palms outward
and toward the approaching ball. the
position SHOWN in the illustration on
the left. The player who does this is
assured control of the ball. The one
who takes the other position with his
palms together, as shown in the illus.
tration to the right, Is not certain.
Play the game correctly. To do that
a mastery of its fundamentals is abso-
luIely necessary.

Judging by the display made yester-
day in Griffith Stadium by the light

counter sitter opposition than was
given them three weeks ago in their
first encounter with the Little Indians.

triumphed over the Hawks, was soft

ton led by Tinsy White. From the
starting whistle the tide of battle was
In favor of the Apaches. and IL was
only shortly after the initial kick off
that they carried the ball over the
Mercurys' line for the first touchdown.
White, who had crashed across the
line for the first points, sent over
drop-kick from the 40-yard line in the
second period. and in the final quarter
he added another points to the total.
The point after touchdown also was
credited to him.
In addition to a slashing attack that
hardly ever failed to pierce the OPP
posing line. the Apaches played
great defensive game and succeeded in
keeping their enemies out of striking
distance of their goal during the en-
tire game. Failing to gain on running
plays. Mercury resorted to frequent
forward passes, but at least half a
dozen Of these were brought down by
Apache players.

CONFLICT OF RULES
DUE TO BE SETTLED
By the Associated Press.


CHAPEL HILL, n. c., December
l4.-Prof. n. Walker of the University
of North Carolina, president of the
Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools of the Southern States. said
that he would endeavor to get a meet
ing OF the association at an early date
for the purpose Of considering the
situation which has arisen since the
recent action of the association con-
corning athletic schedules and eligi-
bility rules of member institutions. He
pointed out that d meeting of the
executive committee can be called only
by the joint action of the president
and secretary.
He said:
Il am of the opinion that when the
vote was taken at the Charleston
meeting on the resolution proposed by
DR.. Sanford most of the delegates
thought the resolutions We're spon-
ssored by the executive committee of
the Southern Conference.
Or. Sanford did not make any
Sta<amc.;t to this effect, but ii was,
1 think, rather generally understood
that he came before our association
as the spokesman of the Southern
Conference and that his proposals
were sponsored by the executive com
mittee of that body. This certainly
was nv impression. This explains,
to my mind. why the resolutions went
through without opposition.
II think the situation can be clari-
fled to some extent and a workable
plan arrived at If we can get joint
meeting of our executive committee
and the executive committee of the
Southern Conference at an early
date
Prof. Walker said that in the mean
time he would advise all member IN
situations to withhold final judgment
of the new regulations"
A w. Hobbs, chairman Of the
faculty athletic committee at the uni
versity, said he understood the regu-
lations would not go into effect for
a year and that in the meantime the
University Of North Carolina would
play under Southern Conference rules.

OF the regular FORWARD positions.
Boxing and wrestling will also get a
number of the gridders. Big Gus
Lentz. captain and left guard of the
foot ball team, will try to assuage his
disappointment over the defeat Of the
team by the Army by winning the
heavyweight championship with the
mitts. 1t appeared as II he would
achieve this honor last season. but he
broke his hand in a practice bout a
few days before the Intercollegiate
and had to stay out of that event.
Flippin May Box.
Flippin, left half, who has generally
played basket ball during the Winter,
Is thinking of taking up the boxing
game, and Taylor, who looked very
promising as substitute end, al
ready has reported. Both of these
would be in the 175-pound class. Mill
can, fast-running back, will try for
l45-pound honors.
Tex Edwards, who played right
guard on the varsity, will take up his
duties at once as captain of the wreS-
ling team. Edwards has represented
he Navy on the mat as a heavy
weight for two seasons, and has won
every bout in which he engaged. Many
believe him to be one of the best
circles.
Frank Wickhorst, big left tackle,
probably will join the wrestling squad
shortly. He is nursing a bad knee,
but should be in shape shortly. 1t is
important to train a heavyweight to
take Edwards place, as he graduates
in June, and it appears as if Wick
! horst is the man for the job.
| Littig, a substitute back, is the

! but will have some opposition from

guard Wilson, a 200-pounder, who
pitched on the plebe nine and played
guard on the eleven, has also taken
| up the wrestling game and will be
another big fellow to be considered
for the heavyweight class next year.
Other promising members of the
plebe eleven who are joining squads
in some other line are Woerner and
Morse, who will take up the mitt
game, and Russell Lloyd, who is
playing basket ball. Woerner Is the
big kicking tackle and Morse the
backfield find of the year. Lloyd is
one of the best all-around athletes
who has entered the Naval Academy
