HOLMAN, OHIO STATE,
Believed INELIGIBLE

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 10,-AIlan Hol-
man, Ohio States star quarterback, as
well as Mayes McLain, Iowa's Cherokee
Indian fullback ace, is apparently
through with Big Ten foot bail.
While McLain was the only one to be
officially declared ineligible for further
competition by the faculty committee
because of the three-year player rule,
1t was regarded as a foregone conclu-
sion by the committee and coaches that
Holman. too, would be banished.
The three-year rule, reaffirmed by the
committee during the annual Big Ten
sports conclave here Saturday. limits
any one to three years of college ath-
letic competition. Holman played a sea
son on the Parsons College foot ball
team, another with Iowa State and oae
at Ohio State. McLain played two sea-
sons with. the Haskell Indians and one
with Iowa.
L. w. st. John. director Of athletics
at Ohio State, said that in his opinion
Holman would be banned. The Ohio
State athletic board will make the de-
cision, but If 1t should decide in favor
Of Holman protest from other Big
Ten members. notably Iowa, would be
certain, faculty committee members
said.
McLain was keenly disappointed over
his banishment. The big fullback said
he planned to finish this year at Iowa
and then play either amateur or pro-
fessional foot ball.
Agreement to enforce the three-year
rule, which was adopted in 1904, to re-
fuse athletic relations with any college

in the case Of service elevens. framing

tors and coaches at their meeting.

GENERALS TO HAVE
POWERFUL QUINTET
BY the Associated Press.

LEXINGTON, Va, December TO-
Washington and Lee basket ball cam
didates, led by Captain Lowry. diminu-
tive forward, have been working out
daily for several weeks. ,.....a
The outlook is especially bright for
the Generals. The 1923 quintet lost II
of its regularly scheduled games. but
five of these were dropped by margins
of one or two field goals. -
In addition to Lowry, members of last
years first squad on hand will include
White, forward, and fullback on the
grid team; Ernie Wood, f1ashy guard,
and Groop, big guard, a foot ball guard
as well. $50
From the list of usual starters for
1928, only Capt. Spots, high among
Virginia scorers for two consecutive
years, will be absent. Other leading
regulars wlto have graduated are Eigel-
bach and Ebert, forwards, and Howe
and Joynes, guards, and Nance, reserve
center.
Coming up from last years reserves
to battle for berths on the 1929 quint
will be Hawkins, center; Homer and
Spencer, forwards, and Gordon and
Morrow, guards.
The strongest requirements are ex-
pected from the freshman machine of
last season, however. A man almost
certain to grab Spots center post as
a regular job is Williams, flash of the
1928 yearlings. e.
Coach Eddie Davis freshmen went
through a long schedule undefeated,
running up unusually big scores against
some of the strongest teams in the
South Atlantic area. With such for
wards as Jacob, Cos, Freeman and
Hardwick, the latter also a substitute
center, running through the opposition,
and with Hanna, Faulkner, Thieodeau
and Pilley guarding the goal, the little
Generals had machine which was, well
nigh unstoppable. 4

some Of the toughest opposition ever
faced by Washington and Lee.

"a chain is no stronger than its

enabled hard driving Mohawk foot

Craig Wilton and his Hawk husky

ton of the line gaining ground with
monotonous consistency, running UP q
first downs and trio of touchdownS
to finish on the long end OF a 2l-to-0
count.
Abboticchio, Brunette and Wilton were
the chief ground gamers for the Hawks
in bringing the District title back to the
Mohawk camp. Their ability to pierce
the Apache forward wall kept the ball
in Little Indian territory throughout
the contest with the exception of
feeting moment in the first quarter
when the Hawks STAYED off an attack
on their 15-yard line.

The winners lost no time starting a
march soon after the opening kickoff
with Abboticchio and Brunelle bearing
the brunt, the former going over. The
whistle at half time probably prevented
the winners from adding another touch
down, being within the 5-yard stripe.
The loss of Biff Clifford, Johnny
Montague and Reds Sweeney hurt the
Apache cause. Delabre, LinkouS
TWoomey and other Little Indian backs
failed to show any thing consistent
Their aerial attack was completely
smothered, falling to complete one of
13 tosses made, two of which were in

Following the victory of the Hawks
