ARMY PROMOTION
CHANGE |SPLANNED
Chances for Younger Officers
Considered in New Proposal
I. Just Completed.
By the Associated Press.


Eecape by the Army from ap-
preaching prospects o. gray bea rded
captains and age.wnrn majors is
planned In a promo ion study just
completed by a special War De-
partment committee and approved
by the general s,off. 1t will be
transmitted 10 Congress In the form
of a. legislativ recommendation
Congress called for report on
the Army promotion situation at the
last session, and officers in the
lower grades are hopeful that the
next session will clear the way for
them to step up a grade or two be-
fore they are retired in their present
rank on account of age.
Davis Confers With James.
Secretary Davis Is studying the
proposal, and went over 1t yester-
day with Representative w. Frank
James OF Michigan. acting chairman
Of the House military committee.
Just what mes "a of escape the spe-
cial committee has worked out have
not been disclosed. but radical
changes in the existing regulations
are known to have been recon-
mended
The study. among other things, Is
understood TO contain a scheme for
the transfer os officers from the
grades OF lieutenant colonel and up
to the reserve ella assification when they
have served a prescribed period In the
active service and have failed to quail
ify for promotion to the next higher
grade. officers affected by this pro-
vision would be allowed a fraction OF
the regular pay and be given honorary
promotion at the time Of their
transfer.
Physical Fitness Required.
One feature of the study which Is
expected to win it support in Con.
gress and in administration circles is
the e6pnomy hy-product which would
results from the retirement or transfer
of highly paid senior officers and their
replacement with lower paid juniors.
At present Army officers pay is de.
termined, in part. by the length Of
their service.
The study also would require all
officers in the active service to keep
themselves in a condition of physical
fitness. Such provision would weed
out 300 or 400 officers who are now
receiving full pay.

Eastern and Business today
plunge back into the merry Whirl Of
the high school football series, their
contest in the Wilson Memorial sta
dunn starting at SIS o'clock.
Business is the only team that
started the series with a known adj
vantage. This was in the matter Of
weight. Western overcame it. how
ever. with superior speed and the
brilliance Of one player. little Nor

now out with broken foot.
Eastern confronts the problem of
heating heavier eleven. but has
eau re- to be confident. 1t showed
lots of class for a green team In
whipping Central by two touch
downs, and is the only team in tb-
series with a clean record.
The series seems to have become
a contest OF wits among the coach
es. each of whom was forced t.
mould an eleven from inexperi.
enced. players. Two have done ex-
ceptiOnaiiy well as strategists. FL

won quite decisively Pullinp the
unexpected has ever been the
forte of Guyon and this thar
acteristic frequently is mentioned
in the same breath with the fact
that he is an Indian with the gifts
of his forebears.
Guyon surprised Central AMI got
a S9-yard jump. on the enernv by
forward passing on the first scrin..
mage of the game. That h., has
something up his sleeve for toda~
may be accepted as a certainty.

the most closely contested in

NEW CARDS
FORCQJRSE
By Bingy Bryan

AS the season slowly closes for
golf IN this vicinity. the new In.
dian Spring Golf Club is putting
the finishing touches on its course.
Chairman John Mccormick. Of
the greens committee. who has been
busy all season rcnovating green's
and making improvements at vari-
GUS holes. plans to survey the
course and obtain exact distances of
each and every hole.
When the surveyors complete
their work Saturday. new cards
showing the distances from the
wOmen's tees, mems tees and
back tees will be published. This
will give players who bat them out
for tremendous distances the ap.
prOximate length Of each drive.
If II is two-fifty they will not
be fooled into thinking it was 300.
Several of the back tees are being
enlarged at present. When this
work Is completed, the course will
be one of the most difficult in the
city to score on.
Besides these Improvements Others
which will come under the super.
vision Of Chairman Mccormick will
be completed during the winter
months.

Michigan's passes for the Wolver-

the victory at Baltimore will hang
upon the success or failure OF the

Forward passes, to be con.
sistentIy successful, must catch
opponents unprepared and it Is
there that Michigan shines.
