NORTHFIELD Vt, December H.
Too many perfect scores fired by col

changes in the rules governing college
rifle matches, Capt Louis s. Lorenzo
of the championship Norwich Univer-
sity cadet team was notified today by
the National Rifle Association at
Washington.
The bull's-eye has been reduced from
.25 of an inch to .15 of an inch. the
sitting position for firing, considered
the easiest of all postures for high
scoring, has been eliminated. and the
use of telescope sights will not be al
lowed in future competition.
From now on college rifiemen will
fire over openiron sights at bulls
eve about half the size of the old one
from prone. kneeling and standing
positions only.

Harvard to Enter Into to No
More Non-Scouting Grid Pacts

taking the stand that "any prohibit
tory rule causes suspicion" the News
went on to point out concrete eX-
amples of suspicion which arose at
Yale. Harvard and Pennsylvania"
under this years non-scouting pact.
Stories had it that Knox, our Sec
ond-team coach, was scouting Yale at
the Princeton game, when, as
matter of fact, he was sitting with
Rockne, Struhldreher, ct al, at the
Army-Notre Dame game; our fresh
man coach was said to have been seen
in New Haven the day of the Yale
Princeton freshman game. when he
was at Pennsylvania with the varsity,
and a coach of one of our non scouting
opponents called one of our graduates
on the telephone to find out the de-
tails of the play of one of our mutual
opponents"
Such attitudes, however false the
accusations may prove, do not lead
to less suspicion and more sports
manlike attitudes between the col
leges,' the News concludes.

ATLANTA, December 17.-Bobby
Jones. whose wizardry on the links
astounded Great Britain last Summer,
does not expect to defend his British
open golf title next year, but will play
in the American open and American
amateur.
This was announced today by the
British open and American amateur
champion, who added that classes at
the Emory University Law School
would prevent him from returning to
Great Britain.
Pointing out that the British open
will be held in May and that school
does not close until June, Bobby said
Il simply can't do it. I've got to fin
ish out this term at Emory"
He added that his. golfing activities
for 1923 would probably consist Of
competition only in the two major
American events. although he indicat-
ed he might enter the Southern OPEN
which he won last Spring, if that tour
nament is again held in Atlanta.
The American open, to be held at
OLYMPIA Fields, Chicago, in June and
the amateur at Braeburn, West New
ton. Mass, in September, will not in
terfere with his college work. he said.
"A lot of people don't take this law
school idea seriously" Bobby declared
They ought to try it. It's serious
enough for me-"
Only this week he stood the Georgia
bar examinations, but will not know
the result for another week.
Jones' announcement bore a mark of

when he thought he would be unable
to go. but later found it possible. his
decision then coming just in time to
allow him to get to the scene.
Bobby won the British open both In
1926 and 1927, his 2S5 last Summer
having cut six strokes from the record
for the event over 72-hole events.
Bobby Jones' announcement that, he
will not enter the British golf cham
pionship next year comes, when the
brilliant golfer and law student is pay
ing more attention TO his books than
to his mashies and brassies. At this

The Chicago Cubs, by indirect

mt get Riconda from Milwaukee un-
til Chicago waived on Butler, and
things finally were adjusted when
Milwaukee took Eddie Pick from
Chicago and the Cubs took Butler.

and failed. Butler has played third
base and made 90 of it. If Butler
retains his health. the cubs will
have n third haseman who should
strengthen the team in 1928.
Outlook Not So Bright.
AnalyzinG the general situation,
the big league magnateS find reasons
to approach the next season with
trepidat ion. If any second division
team advances, the forecasters fear
that it can rise no higher than fourth
place On fourth place the balance
will waVer in 1929. The cubs fin
ished fourth in the National League
last season and Detroit was fourth
in the American League. The Lead
ers that they must fight will he
Pittsburgh, ST. Louis and New York
in the National League. and New
York, Philadelphia and Washington
in the American.
The future of three or four major
clubs is viewed with apprehension,
for they have run SO long in a rut
that they have become rusty. An
other losing season, which seems
inevitable, will confirm the general
fear of depression which base ball
men always have in q presidential
year.
The 1927 season began with
hurrah. Ty Cobb had shifted from
Detroit to the Athletics, and iris
Speaker from Cleveland to Wash
ington. The Athletics opened the
year in New York before one of the
largest crowds in base ball history.
There is no such glamour in pros
pect for the 1928 season.
The only team with any red fire
is the Chicago Cubs. They took
Xxi Cuyler from Pittsburgh, and it
is certain their first game will he
attended by old General Enthusiasm
and all his relatives. Some of the
other clubs lack any color whatso-
ever.
The club owners dread this out
look. They shudder to think of con-
tinuing the fight where it left off III
1927. with one leag que trying to climb
the backs of the Yankees and the
other the backs Of the Pirates.

-Four Tits in Other Sports


There are four more contests sched-
uled between teams of the two acad-
emies and Admiral Mutton said today
that these games were still regarded
as fixed.
They are the basket hall game
which is TO be played at West Point
on February 25; base ball and field
and track contests to take place at
Annapolis on May 26. and lacrosse,
to he contested at West Point on the
same day.
The action of the Naval Academy in
insisting on the Military Academy's
adoption of the three-year rule is by
no means merely the personal view of
Admiral Mutton, the present head of
the institution. The action was rec
commended by a committee of naval
officers nearly year ago.
This committee consisted Of about
Is officers who had played foot ball at
in close touch with it in other ways.
and Was headed by rear Admiral John
L. Halligan, who had captained a
Navy team.
The committee recommended the
adoption of the ordinary eligibility
rules by the Naval Academy and the
playing of only those teams which
had similar regulations.
The adoption of the three year rule
by the Naval Academy followed the
report of this committee, and the re-
fusal to meet the Military Academy
under present conditions was also in
line with it.
