Possibility That Grid Sched-

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.--Possibility
that all football schedules formed at
the Western Conference schedule
meeting in December would be dis
carded and that Il now round robin
system of scheduling games would
be inserted seemed likely today.
More than threescore representa-

here Friday and Saturday to discuss
new Conference rulings.
1t is believed that a new system
forcing certain universities to take
on hard teams together with the
easy ones would do away with much
criticism which has been leveled at
these schools in the past. 1t also
would determine Conference cham

of a jump on the guard to insure n
free shot from that point, or a drib-
ble-in shot.
The moral from the guards stand
point is, keep You feet on the floor.
Don't follow that natural impulse
to leap into the air to block the
shot. Throw up your hands to dis
concert the shooter, etc. but don't
commit yourself too fully.
The above applies to shots from
out on the floor. not to shots in close
proximity to the basket. where it
is often advisable and necessary to
leap into the air to block shot.

Early Decision Is Promised

Commissioner of Baseball
Makes No Promises.

BIZ United Press
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Jan. 25. - Likelihood
that Iris Speaker and Ty Cobb, dis
charged managers of American
League baseball clubs. would be re-
turned to an honorable position in
baseball doomed today following an
announcement by Commissioner
Kenesaw NJ. Lands that he would is
sue a statement on the Cobb-Speaker
matter sometime this week"
Attorneys See Judge
Cobb's attorney, Judge James Muir
fin of Detroit. and Speakers counsel,
William Boyd of Cleveland, conferred
with Judge Lands Monday and left
for home Monday night. Fans over
the country are bringing pressure on
the Judge to issue an official definite
verdict.
1t was not definitely known. but
surmised that the attorneys threat
ened to go into court to force Cobb
and Speaker back into baseball if
Lands ruling is not favorable to the
star outfielders.
If both players are indicated of
the charges brought against them,
and taken back into baseball, it is
believed several clubs in both ma
jorleagues will bid for their services.
Cobb, If given a clean bill by
Lands, may not play baseball this
year. He said before leaving Chi
cago Monday night he contemplated
taking a European trip. Z
Exoneration Expected
1t is the general opinion of experts
that Cobb and Speaker will be ex-
onerated of charges made by
Hubert Dutch" Leonard that the
Cleveland Indians threw" a game
to the Detroit Tigers on Sept. %,
1919, and that money was won as a
result of the outcome.
Judge Lands is understood to in
cline to the view that it might be
better, if Cobb and Speaker are
eXonerated and want to return to
baseball for them to continue to play
their presence in the National
League might be constant reminder
of the shadow that once hung over
them.
Another Way "Out"
The method whereby the I'M
pleasantness of all the scandals could
be most quickly removed from the
minds of the cash customers of base
ball would be for Lands to exonerate
Cobb and Speaker unqualifiedly, and
for Ty and iris, in return, to ar.
nounce their voluntary and per-
manent retirement from the game.

sons 1926 record as a con-
- crete indication that he is
fast approaching the has-been class.
While Johnson isn't the Walter
of twenty years ago, he is still a
mighty pert pitcher, so good that
his addition would strengthen the
pitching staff Of any club in the
majors.
Johnson has had some mighty
unusual experiences in his event
full career as big league star.
Back about 1910. when Johnson
was at the top of his game, oppOs-
ing managers figured the odds all
against their team winning when
Johnson was announced as the
pitcher.
In order not to waste one of the
veteran stars against Johnson, it
became a custom for rival leaders
to name one of their youngsters to
work against Walter.
1t is a matter of record that dur.
ing one season, eight rookie pitch
ers, some of whom didn't last out
the year, bested Walter.

What Usually Happens
The answer generally is found in
the play of the guard, in the mistake
which he is making because of a per-
fectly natural tendency or reaction.
What usually happens is this:
The forward has received the ball,
