The fact that hoy belongs To

II is hoped by the chief Of the club
that members are following the sug-
gestion made several days a go to clip
the daily coaching articles for future
reference The articles appearing at
present on basket hall are partiCu-

will he Of equal value. and within
a short time club members will have
fund of worthwhile information.
As the seasons and games change
one can turn tn the article of the
best coach available for the sport
and study the rules and best means
of training.
Possibly club members like sur
prises. but the club chief thinks that
the boys prefer to know little some
thing about the things that are COM
ing. For that reason 1t is announced
that after the basket ball series a
boxing series will start.
Spike Webb will handle the coach

FEW GRID CHANGES
SEEN BY LANGF0RD
By the Associated Press.


NEW HAVEN, Conn. January I.
Two possible changes in foot
ball rules for next sea son are dis
cussed by William s. Laneford. sec
rotary of the rules committee, in the
Yale Daily News.
There NAV he some discussion
about the restricting or limiting of
the forward pass, he said, and the
roint "a fter-touchdown ruling prohah bly,
will I've brought UP at the committee
meeting for revision.
I.angford does not believe the foot
hall season can he shortened any
more than at present. and expresses
the opinion that the Big Three agree
ment not to start practice until Sep
tenber Is ia dangerous. Teams are
played. he points out, which have four
weeks training. while those bound
by the agreement have only two.
He criticizes the cash value being
placed on foot ball by the betting
which is so generally being carried on
by the alumni of the various colleges
and univer:ities,' and characterizes
the worst feature Of foot hall at the
present time as the demand for vic
tory"

Both sides seem to have reasonable
arguments The individualists are
those who desire a champion to he
named regardless of controlling body
utilization, on a down and-out basis.
They contend that a man who could
outbowl all opposition in tourney
of 20 games or more would have a
clear hold on the title.
The Observation-Disclosures say. that
singles bowling is not the truest test
! of the pin smasher. They believe a
man should he good team bowler AS
we'll. one who does not falter when his
teammates are not hitting 'em any too
well. They want a champion who
has been thoroughly tested by match
play, instead of one who practically is
shooting against himself for a big
total.
Perhaps a plan devised by a we'll
known bowling devotee here may
satisfy both sides. To get a cham
pion, he suggests that all duck
Primers with season averages of 10
or better be sent into a lO-game
qualification round, total pins to
count. and the 80 highest scores be
paired for match play. Each match
would consist of five games, with
games and not total pinfall deternin-
ing the match winner.
Including the qualifying round, the
winner of such a tourney would have
been in 35 games-truly a thorough
test for bowler, even though some
fans might not regard it as a cham
pionship grind. But the bowler who
survived such a test certainly would
have to be regarded as one well able
to do his part in either medal or
match play on the drives
