Cage Game Rough
is Eliot's Verdict
- BASKET BALL
BALL.
BY SOL METZGER.

The year 1903 brought about a
needed change in the basket ball
code. Up to that time three fouls
gave the opponents q point and
dribbling was as unrestricted as
the play of fists in a lumber camp
following pay day. One game,
more than anything else, caused
the code to be changed to Danish
ing a player for unsportsmanlike
conduct, and for four personal
fouls, and restricting the dribble,
which was an individual stunt, de-
manding little teamwork as it was
then practiced.
The game that forced the change
was between Penn and Columbia.
PENIS team, composed of Dutch
men and Irishmen, was at war
with itself. 1t possessed in Kei-
nath the greatest dribbler the col
lege game ever knew. Columbia
was met for the title and a giant,
Jack Ryan, moved from center to
guard to cover Keinath. Ryan
soon had his nose broken and
came back to the scrimmage all
set to get" somebody, preferably
keinath. M G rud d e n, seeing
Ryan's intention, interposed his
own jaw to take Ryan's swing.
He was knocked cold, revived and
returned to the game. That bit of
self-sa crifice welded the stars of
the Red and Blue into a great
machine and they finally conquer
ed Columbia, 16 to Is, in an over
time game. The late President
Eliot Of Harvard followed the sea-
son with report characterizing
basket bali as more brutal even
than foot ball" All of which
caused the rule makers to reform
the game by removing the unre-
stricted dribble, the cause of most
OF the roughness.

TENNIS BATTLE DUE
ON RATING RICHARDS

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, February s.
Rival forces were drawn up today for
the annual meeting Of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association be-
cause Of a new thorn of professional
ism in the side Of the organization.
A controversy over the proposed
ranking of Vincent Richards among
Americas leading 1926 amateur play
erS was involved. On one side was
the national ranking committee, which
held that Richards, who joined c. c..
Pyle's professional tennis troupe last
Fall, was entitled to place near the
top of the list because he completed
the outdoor season as an amateur.
The executive committee Of the as
ISOLATION maintained that none but
amateurs at the time such rankings
were officially approved should be
ranked.
Should friends of Richards win
their fight to have him ranked first
by the association today on the basis
Of his three victories over William T.
Tilden last year 1t will mark the first
time in his career that he has held
the No. l position. Defeat OF the at
tempt, on the other hand, is expected
to result in the elevation of Tilden to
the top for the seventh successive
year.
Several amendments to the playing
rules were on the calendar of the meet.
ing, chief Of which was a change to
permit the use Of spiked shoes at all
turf court tournaments.
No change was expected in the
schedule Of championship events
which prevailed last year. The Davis
cup challenge round again has been

and 10 at the Germantown Cricket
Club, Philadelphia, while the national
mems singles championship again has
been slated for the West Side Club of

GRAHAM BOWS TO BOXER
TOO HEAVY FOR BANTAM
With Championship Forfeited Because of Failure to
Make Weight, Former Titleholder Gives
Crown Aspirant Bad Beating.

By the Associated Press.
n Y EW YORK, February 5.-The
mi bantamweight championship
NJ of the world was vacant to-
4 day, the second of the light
er f1stic classes to lose its
crown bearer within a year through
inability to make weight.
But despite forfeit of his throne
Charley (PhiD Rosenberg proved last
night that he still Is one of the
greatest of the present-day little
men when he battered Bushy Ora
ham, curley- headed title aspirant, for
15 gruelling rounds in Madison
Square Garden.
Rosenberg vacated his title in ac-
cordance with the articles of agree
ment for the match when he scaled
1921 pounds. Az pounds over the

Louis Kid Kaplan gave up his crown
last June because of difficulty in

Graham Stopped Early.
Graham, scaling HE could have
gained the championship by victory
in the scheduled title defense last
night, but the dancing master of
Utica, almost frail beside his rugged
opponent, was whipped and battered
throughout. His dazzling speed and
bouncing style carried him through
the first four rounds with a shade
the better of the going. Graham's
flashy attack in that period baffied
Rosenberg, as the nimble challenger
swooped about the ring, whipping
swinging hooks to the head from
all angles.

SIX BIG TEN FIvES
IN ACTION TONIGHT

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February Six Big Ten
basket ball quintets resume shooting
tonight, Indiana's game with the
University of Chicago here being the
high spot on the schedule.
The Hoosiers, looming as the most
formidable rival of Michigan for the
conference title, are not expected to
have an easy time with Chicago, a
team that is showing much improve
ment over it's earlier form. Chicago
will have the advantage that goes
with games on a home floor, while
Indiana will be without the services
of Winston, a guard lost by gradu
alton.
A victory would boost Indiana into
undisputed second place, as W1scon-
sin, with whom the Hoosiers now are
tied, does not engage in play for an
other week. Indiana also has game
scheduled for Monday, meeting Min
nesota.
Ohio plays Iowa at Iowa City to-
night, with a chance to break its
third place tie with Illinois. The
Illini, however, have what looks like
easy competition in Minnesota, a team
that has thus far failed to win a con-
ference game. The game will be play
ed at Urbana.
Michigan, unbeaten leader Of the
Big Ten, continues idle, permitting
members Of her squad to devote their
time to semester examinations.

its wares here last night in game
with American University that the

the fray was the fine defensive work
of American University. The visitors
were held to four goals from scrim-

Methodists won rather easily. AT
half time they held a 17-to-7 lead
and played at about the same pace
