VETS OF FOUL LINE
TO CHECK ROLLERS
WhaIen, Began to Be on Job
During Sessions of The
Star Tournament.
1.-TWO of Washington's most exper

"WO of Washingtons most exper-
fenced and popular foul line
Judges will call miSsteps in The
Evening Stars first annual in
dividual duckpin championship
tournament, to be held at Lucky Strike
alleys, December 26-29 and January
2-5.
Mickey Whalen and Joseph A. Began
have been selected to survey the foul
lines. With these two veterans handling
the whistle, all bowlers will have to
watch their steps. Neither plays tav-
orites and nothing gives either of these
judges more pleasure than to catch one
of the stars slipping over the plack
stripe.
Whalen has been prominent figure
with the Washington Ladies League
since the organization of the circuit.
Calling fouls is an art with him. Few
can handle the job in such colorful
style as the veteran Mickey.
Noted as Fair Judge.
Masonic and Electrical League bowl
ers know Began best, for he of1ciates
at all matches of these two circuits.
His experience and fair Judgment have
won him many friends among the bowl
ers and a reputation as one of the most
capable referees III .CIlS Guy.
Calling fouls in big tournament is
a treat for Mickey. 1t is familiar story
among bowlers that Mickey waited 10
years to catch Harry Krauss in the act
of crossing the foul line.
With Whalen and Began on the JOB
it is safe to predict that there will be
few fouls in The Evening Star tourna-
ment Fouls are becoming fewer in
league competition since the rule has
been generally introduced and bowlers
are rapidly coming to respect this rule
more and more.
Will Check BOwlers.
Those familiar with the work of Bo-
gan and Whalen know that there will be
little chance of getting by with a foul
in the big tournament. Both claim
they have not missed calling foul In
many years of league and tournament
officiating.
These foul judges will have a busy
time during the tournament, as present
prospects indicate that the largest num-
ber Of individuals ever to compete in
single tournament here are going to
seek the attractive prizes in The Eve

OF the Army, HarpSter of Carnegie,
Scull OF Pennsylvania, Strong of New
York University, Carroll of Washing
ton, Clark of Colorado College, Crab
tree Of Florida, Mizell of Georgia Tech.
Hume of Southern Methodist and Peake
OF Virginia Poly, not to overlook Bronko
Nagurski of Minnesota, who alternated
between tackle and fullback for the
Gophers.
eagles ability to throw passes on the
dead run is famous, but his skill is no
more remarkable than that of Crab
tree, the 154-pound Florida quarter
back, who not only can toss 'em on
the run, but do 1t with either hand.
Crabtree also can kick with either foot,
and includes fiashy open-f1eld running
among his accomplishments. Against
Washington and Lee last week Crab
tree on one play dashed wide to his
left on an apparent end run, and while
travelling at top speed booted one over
the safety mans head that fell dead
on the 8-yard line. Tennessee will do
well to keep an eye on this versatile
youth this Saturday.
Clark backs up his line, averages 10
yards clip at rushing and 2 touch
downs a game, boots field goals and
goals after touchdown, throws or re-
ceives passes.
Scull is as accurate and reliable a
drop-kicker as any since the palmy days
of Charley Brickley at Harvard, who
once booted five field goals against Yale
Scull's toe has been deciding factor
in close games for Pennsylvania over
the past three years.
In addition to his all-around play
for Washington, Carroll has record
for durability matching that of Otto
Pommerening, Miehigan's tackle. Car

placed during the entire season and
played continuously in all six of his

BAN ON TRANSFERS
SOUGHT IN BIG TEN
Eligibility of Foot Ball Stars
Questioned-Grid Clashes
Listed.
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, December 6.-Question as
to the eligibility of two foot ball stars,
Mayes McLain of Iowa and Allan Hol-
man of Ohio State, threatens to cause
discord AMONG Big Ten coaches at their
annual conference here tomorrow and
Saturday.
Alumni of several schools in the
conference are known to have protest.
ed against the two players, charging
they were ineligible because they al
ready had played foot ball on other COL
lege teams
McLain, Towas Cherokee Indian full
back, played with the Haskell Indians
for two seasons before entering Iowa.
While the Big Ten has ruled Haskell
to be a preparatory school, those who
protest against McLain point out that
Haskell plays against other colleges
of importance and should be claSSed as
a college.
Holman attended Iowa State College
before entering Ohio State and several
Iowa alumni have protested to Commits
sioner John r. Griffiths that the Big
Ten rule, whereby player transferring
to the Western Conference from an
other college must be eligible ScholaS-
tically and attend his new school two
years before he can play Big Ten foot
ball, was violated in his case.
To Stick by Men.
With the Big Ten foot ball schedules
virtually completed, most of the dis
cussion of the coaches promises to
center about policy of eligibility and
transfer. Both Ohio State and Iowa
are expected to stand by their claims
that Holman, star quarterback, and
McLain are eligible to compete next
season.
The Big Ten foot ball program for
1929 will be the most ambitious in the
history of the conference, the schedules
reveal Eight important lntersectional
games have been carded and six of
them will be played on Big Ten grid
irons. Chicago has two intersectional
games on its program Princeton at
Princeton and the University of Wash
ington at Chicago. Illinois will meet
the Army at Champaign; Wisconsin will
play Colgate at Madison, Harvard in
vades Michigan, Vanderbilt meets Min
nesota at Minneapolis, while Ohio State
tangleS with Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh
and the Navy at Columbus.
Notre Dame, too, comes In for its
share of Big Ten competition, engag-
ing Wisconsin, Northwestern and In
diana.
Athletic directors and coaches of bas-
ket ball. boxing, wrestling, rack. base
ball and other sports also will convene
tomorrow and Friday to draw up sched-
ules. It was reported these coaches
were attempting to arrange rotating
schedule corresponding with that used
by foot ball mentors.

nj ball teams that had one "big

Some, such as Georgia Tech, Florida,
Boston College and Detroit, have been

were good only when they had it."
The disposition has been to throw
OUT the days when they didn't have it.

Nevertheless N. Y. u. had its big day
against Carnegie when the VioletS i'm

as any team in the country.
Only a guess can be made as to the
ensuing shock If the violence of N. Y. u,
as exhibited against Carnegie, had been
tossed against the counter violence Of
Stanford as turned loose against the
Army.
The Naval Academy had two big days
and both were at the expense of teams

against Notre Dame, Notre Dame
against the Army and the Army against
