PLAN AMATEUR RULE
FOR ARMY ATHLETES

NEW YORK, January 27-Army
athletics will be placed upon an anna
teur basis in conformity with the
eligibility rules and regulations of
the Amateur Athletic Union, it has
become known, If approval is granted
a plan now under consideration to
eliminate cash prizes from service
track and field sport
The plan. which has been under dis
cussion by Lieut.. Col. Thomas J.
Johnson of the general staff of the
War Department and President Muir
ray Hubert of the Amateur Athletic
Union for the last several weeks, is
expected to make Army athletes of
the present eligible for Olympic
games competition and other inrsort-
ant track activities.
President Hubert has announced
that the proposed plan has received
the approval of the committee on
legislation of the A. A L., of which
man, and that the matter now will
be submitted by mail vote to the
A. A. U. board of governors.
Th outlook for adoption of the new
basis for the Armys competitive ath-
letics, placing the sport on a plane
with the activities of the Amateur
Athletic Union, was hailed by A. A
u. officials as a progressive step
which will eliminate difficulties which
have been encountered in the past be-
cause of the cash prize awards to the
soldier athletes.
Strict Interpretation of the A A. [.
code disqualified the Army athletes
who had won cash prizes, regardless
of the amount of reward. The system
of cash prizes in Army athletics, it
was said yesterday, was adopted, not
because of the monetary considera-
tion but because the arrangement
was more convenient and expedient,
eliminating, as 1t did, the necessity
for deciding on the character of anna
teur prizes and then purchasing them
and getting delivery.
The extension of the Army activities
to officers training camps and, to a
degree, to the National Guard, made
it imperative, according to Secretary
Frederick w. Ruben of the A. A. u,
to urge a conformity between the
service rules and those of the A. A. U.

CHANCES IN
FAVOR OK

Are ont of bounds plays superior to
center tib-of plays? # so, 5vIly?
BY NELS NORGREN,
Basket Ball Coach. University of Chi
caEO.
I believe out of bounds plays are
much superior to center tip-of plays
because they nre more certain of
completion, for several reasons. In
the center tip-Off play each team has
nm equal chance at the outset TO get
the jump on the ball and an equal
chance In starting. In the out of
bounds play your own man Is In ab-
soIute, certain possession of the ball
and can pass it in such way that
the men your team have a two or
three foot start on the guarding Op-
pOnent. This two or three foot start
Is often enough 10 insure success.
Furthermore, on nm out of bounds
play the defense is not lined up, n
rule, and is very likely to be some
what demoralized.
