Babe stepped out to his first prac-
tico yesterday, took three prelimin-
airy swings, and hammered a fierce
line drive in the general direction
of Tampa, The bail landed at the
feet of a farmer at work in his
patch outside the practice field. Il
remarked conversationallv to a bat
boy who shagged the ball
Babe submitted TO the pumm cling
OF newspaper men to prove that he
was in the best condition Of his
career. Compared to the Ruth OF
past seasons. the general opinion
classed him as positively slender
and willowy" at 223 pounds. Re.
fore the practice Babe shot a snappy
90 on a nearby golf course. Only
three regulars, Meusel, Combs and
Pennock now are absent from the
camp.
The speed and condition of Irish
Meusel, former Giant and brother
of Yankee Bob, is pleasing Manager
WILDER. Robinson at the Dodgers
camp in Clearwater. The return OF
Bill Doak. veteran pitcher. after a
years absence, and his fine showing

ting heroes were Rogers Hornsby
and "Bevo' Lebourbcau, late Of the

that he had gone Blackjack to 1925

WESTERN COACHES
FAVOR new RULES
College Mentors in General Are
Pleased With Changes

Chicago, March s (UP)-Middle-
western coaches, rs a general rule
favor the changes made by the foot
ball rules committee at its annual
meeting last Saturday.
Knute Rockne at Notre Dame is
pleased with the changes. Rockne
was unqualified in his approval OF
the rule which affects the shift. "A
two second pause practically would
have killed the shift but the present
ruling allows it to retain its stra-
tegic Advantages, he said.
Coach Yost at Michigan comment
ed as follows:
The changes in the rules will
alter the game from the spectators
standpoint. Many of the thrills
that have happened will not occur
now but in their place new styles
of play bringing new thrills, Will
come"
THE football rules committee has
put into words what all legitimate
teams have been doing for sometime
regarding the shift" Jimmy Phelan.
Purdue coach, said. a shift is
merely a simple means of maneu-
yering men and there is no other
purpose to the legal shift
The changes are both construc-
tive and destructive" Coach Zuppke
of Illinois said. The constructive
legislation is in furthering the devel-
opment Of the lateral pass, The de-
structive legislation is the harm that
will be done by the new point after
touchdown rule. This rule will also
curb field goal kicking
Zuppke advocated that the COM
mittee meet only every three years,
because l think there is too much
tinkerng with the rules"
