During the intermission something

The only score made during the third

quarter ending 16 to 8. Two free
throws added two points for the
visitors. The defensive play Of Cum

Father of Basketball
Advocates Rule Change


LAWRENCE, Kas., Jan. 20 R)--A
series of reforms in basketball rules
"to save the game" have been sug-
gested by DR.. James Naismith. Of
the University of Kansas, inventor
of the game.
DR.. Naismith also has suggested
changes in rules for girls basketball
The general reform outlined would
do away with the "stalling" that
now, is legal and often indulged in
when an opponent is using the So
called Give man defense"
1.-The public soon will tire of a
game in which one team, because
it has a slight lead in the scoring,
idles the time away without trying
to score" DR.. Naismith declared, II
saw a game recently in which one
team stalled for 10 minutes. The
opponents would not come out of
their five man defense formation
and the leaders played around in
mid court.
zone suggestion is that players
might shoot for either goal, the
score going to the team making the
basket This would make the for
wards always trying for a goal,
and the guards always on guard.

HOLE-IN-ONE CLUB QUITS;
BUFFERS CAN SCORE ACES

NEWARK, Ohio, Jana 29.A(H9-
Golfers who have made hole in
one have become so numerous that
the Hole -one club, founded in
1921 by the Burke Golf company, has
been disbanded.
More than 10000 persons, hun
dred of them women, have entered
the club in six years with properly
sattested records that they holed out
in one shot from the tee. Long be-
fore the club was dissolved it's spon-
sor Withdrew the offer of dozen
golf balls fer every member, ana
substituted a badge.
That more than one ace can be
scored in a lifetime is proved by
records showing As golfers with two
holes in one, seven with three aces
to their credit, two with four each,
and two who recorded five.
The twain with four each are
George Aulbach, junior amateur, and
E. j. Gerhardt, both of Boston, and
those with five are D. Scott Chis-
holm, Los Angeles golf writer, and
Bob T'ousley of Kansas City. Even
they are tyros against Sandy Herd,
Briton, who has scored II aces
though it is estimated that the chance
to hole a ball from the tee comes
but once in TO- 900 chances.
Scarcely any of the 10000 mem
bers Of the Hole-In-One club are
famous golfers, but almost 800 got
aces on holes more than 200 yards
long and six on holes 300 yards
long. Frank Mel1us of Los Angeles
holed a 374-yard drive.
The most curious hole in one was
al climax to Rose Kronman of New
York Her card read, 7-9-8-15-9-12-9-
6T1. She is one of the few golfers
who do nots4 attribute their feat to
sheer skill. Another is J. A. H.
Kerr, Los Angeles banker He scor-
ed an ace when his ball, sliced, hit

across into sand trap and crept
out to the sloping green to roll cir
cuitously into the cup. ,ss

with several fine. shots Flores
brought the crowd to it's feet with a
running shot from the side court and
the score stood 16-14 when time was
called out to make substitutions.
Betty and Miller replaced Pratt and
Demo, but Seeley pulled the game
out of the fire by caging sinker
with minute and As seconds to play.
The Douglas team had enough shots
to win two ball games but the ball
rolled off the rim dozens of times
during the second half and the effect
Of their playing was clear as the
visitors took advantage of the breaks
and rolled in enough points to make
the game closely contested affair.
The whistle ended the game just as
Causey took a long range shot at the
goal but missed. The final score
was Douglas 1S, Nogales IA.
The victory over Nogales places the
Douglas team in the lead as Bisbee
was given it's first defeat last night
by the Apaches, thus dropping to
second place. Tucson is third, No
gales fourth and st. David fifth
The other teams, Wilcox, Tombstone
Benson, Mariana and Pearce are fur
ther down in the rating.
The Douglas team played fine
brand of ball in the first half, but
failed miserably in the second ses-
sion. The entire team slumped. Had
it not been for the defensive play
of Cummins and Causey the visitors
would have made runaway OF the
score Cummins was master of the
situation at the back guard position
and deserves a great deal of credit for
the victory gained over the fighting
Apaches.
In a preliminary game the Douglas
second team easily trimmed the Pat
agonia quintet 40 to 6. McKinnon,
Powers, Miller, Houghton, Cary,
Massey, Nemeck and Sanders played
in this game. The second team per-
formed brilliantly and displayed a
good brand of team work and ac-
curate shooting.
H. c. Spicer, of Bisbee, officiated
satisfactorily in both games. Both
games were clean and no roughness
marred the play. Seeley was charg-
ed with four personal fouls and
Causey and Cummins each had one
foul called on them. V. Wager was
charged with three fouls and Capin

The Tucson Badgers furnish the
opposition for the Douglas Bulldogs
next Friday night in the game that
will practically mean the southern
conference championship. victory
for Douglas will practically cinch
the honors for the Bulldogs as the
only remaining games Of importance
are with st. David, Wilcox and the
final game against Bisbee here on
February 18.
The Badgers are smarting under
the defeats handed them by both
Douglas and Bisbee teams on their
home floor and are coming to Douglas
with the determination to upset the
dope and take both games from
Douglas and Bisbee. Two victories
for Tucson will mean that they are
still in the running even though
they have lost two conference games.
loss to either Bisbee or Douglas
will tie Tucson for the lead.
The Badgers lost three straight
games this week, losing to Gilbert
80 to % on Thursday night, to Mesa
on Friday night, 80 to II, and sue
cumbing to the Ell Paso quintet,
25 to "a, last night in Tucson. Tue
son has lost six games this season,
but only two to southern conferences
teams. Tucson is better fortified to
tackle southern conference teams
after the hard gruelling matches with
Gilbert, Mesa and Phoenix.
A record crowd is expected to be
on hand at the game Friday night
when the Tucson Badgers come for
the return match against the Doug
las Bulldogs. Douglas won IA to II
from Tucson three weeks ago.
The team will take some hard
scrimmages this week so as to be in
fine fettle by Friday. 1t is highly
probable that several switches will
be made in the lineup. The showing
Of McKinnon, Betty and Miller in the

he wanted to sec what Dempsey had

without notice to anybody he had

The three spar boys who boxed with
Dempsey we're, and luckily still are,
Benny Kruger, German light
heavyweight Jack McCann, st.

school, and K. o. Christner.
Dempsey was not boxing any too
well in front of the 300 people that
crashed the Lincoln fields turnstlles,
but he was working smoothly by tbs
time he got to Christner, VINO boxed
last. and he had his opponent groggy
from right to the jaw just before
their round was up.
FLYNN did the refereeing While
Dempsey boxed the full three minute
rounds, one each against each OPP
ponent. While Dempsey's aim was
bit bad at times he was hitting
viciously. Flynn kept cautioning
Dempsey all the time about keeping
his head rolling.
Alter the surprise boxing, Dempsey
worked round with the pulleys, a
round with the small punching bag
and another three minute session with
the abdominal exercises.
Dempsey did not know what he will
do tomorrow. That will depend upon
Flynn's instructions.
