n YEW YORK, February 15.-At
the recent meeting of West
ern Conference athletic fac
4 ulty authorities nothing was
said about permitting foot
ball players to report at least a week
earlier for preliminary practice. So
It Is to be assumed that the Septem-
Der Is date will hold.
There was some talk in the East
that the breaking of the Big Three
might result In a change in the rule
regarding preliminary practice so that
the squads might report a week
earlier, giving them three weeks of
preparation instead of two. But moth
ing has been heard Of this proposal
for some time.
Just the way this thing works out
was graphically revealed in various
early season contests last year, as for
instance, Princeton and the Navy, Yale
and the Army, and so on. Men are
asked to go up against opponents who
have had from one or two or even
three more weeks of preliminary
work and are thus more hardened and
better equipped generally to play foot
ball.
In speaking on this point in the
Princetonian, Keene Fitzpatrick, who,
as every one knows, Is one of the
greatest trainers and conditioners in
the country, a man Of high ideals, who
thinks every bit as much, II not more,
of the interests of the men under him
as Of winning games, points out that
the greatest number OF injuries occur
In the early season games.
This" he said, 'is due to the fact
that scrimmage begins too early, COM
bined with the fact that only eight
days of scrimmage are possible be-
fore the opening game.
I'm regard to studies" he goes on
to say, ''there Is no question that If
a player is sore and tried physically
he is likewise affected in his class
room subjects. With less chance to
become bruised and injured. the player
will be able to keep up in his studies."
Fitzpatrick pointed out that foot
ball Is the most strenuous Of all sports
and yet 1t gets the least amount of
actual preparation. This is quite
true.
Base ball players start their prac-
tice in February and track and hockey
men start preparation long before
their seasons open. In crew the oars
men work practically the entire year
round. Yet foot ball. which demands
the most conditioning, receives less

opponent.
You all know what the half-nelson
is. If your opponent gets that hold
on you the thing to do--and do 1t
uuickly--is to lock his arm tightly be
tween your arm and his side and roll
quickly towards him. Throw your
free arm over his body. This roll
is often very effective in gaining a
fall for you.
When your opponent gets the scis
sors hold on you, il he knows how
to use it correctly. you're going to
have a tough time getting out OF that.
The best defense against the scissors
is not to let him get 1t. Push his
knees away and keep his feet apart
if YOU see he Is trying to put that
hold on you. If he does get the hold,
then turn quickly, facing your op-
ponent. This can be done only before
his grip has been frightened.
Sometimes you can break 1t by
reaching his feet and pulling them
apart.

BY SOL METZGER.

Those who remember the old
days when the game was fought
out In a cage and the ball always
in play because 1t could not get
out of bounds may recall the play
we once saw at the time and have
been on the careful lookout for
ever since. 1t was in Johnstown,
Pa, that the play first was seen
by us, and in a professional game.
One Of the players had maneuvered
himself into a position to shoot.
Then, as now, every player except
his guard instinctively stopped for
a moment to see the result of his
shot. There was just one excep-
tion-a teammate who rushed by
him in the rear at top speed. There
was no chance to get the shot off.
BY prearrangement the shooter
tossed the ball back over his head
into the hands of his teammate,
who dribbled toward the sideline
and attracted the attention of the
guard of the first player. The lat
ter rushed at the dribbler. AS soon
as he had tossed the ball back over
his head the shooter broke for the
basket. He was free. The dribbler
passed to him and an easy basket
resulted. 1t was a thriller. Has
any one seen anything like 1t in re-
cent years?
