India, the land of antiquity, where worn-

lives, bound by customs established
centuries ago, Is, as a matter of fact,
most up-to-date in matters regarding
the gentler sex, especially the education
al and athletic programs for her young
girls, according to Nine. Sarojini Naidu,
prominent woman leader from India,
who is in America on lecture tour.
Co-education is popular in India,
where there is strong tendency to
ignore all distinction as to sex, and in
the co-educational schools, which abound

HowIey's Best Team.

How1ey's Best Team.
HERE have been some great
forward passing teams in the
modern history of foot ball. but
i none yet that quite matches
Jess Hawleys Dartmouth line
up from 1925.
Michigan possibly had the greatest of
all pass combinations in Friedman and
Oosterbann, even better than Dorais
and Rockne.
Carnegie Tech had a marvel in Harp
ster. with two good receiving ends.
But Hawley's Dartmouth team not
only had Oberlander, o marvellous
passer, but in Sage, Tully and Lane
Dartmouth had three star receivers who
could take foot ball out of the air at
top speed from almost any position.
Sage and TulIy were star ends,
Lane was a fast able back. When
the three sailed down the field to-
gether 1t took a marvellous forward
pass defense to keep all three out
OF action. Brown, with the amazingly
fast Kiefer, was about the only team
that checked Dartm0uth's passing
game In any way all season.
Dartmouth loses a fine coach and a
fine leader in the retirement of Hawley,
but the Green is lucky to have as able
successor as Jack Cannell at hand,
believe Dartmouth last season. with
good. average luck, would have had one
OF the best teams in the country. But
no team can win on crutches.
The Bootleg Foot Ball.
THE statement given out from E. K
Hall Of the foot ball rules COM
mittee, that hereafter only stand
ard foot ball would be used, brings
up the point that last season many
coaches believed that new shaped
foot ball had been slipped in at various
times-one better built for passing than
for kicking.
The idea seemed to be that certain
teams with good passers used the new
mold. and certain teams with good kick
ers held to the other brand. A stand
ard foot ball is as important as stand
ard base ball, and If the rules COM
mittee had not cut in quickly there
would soon have been some of the loud
est squawking of the century. Some
boil weevil-shaped foot ball must have
struck the kicking game-especially the
drop-kicking game-last Fall, as the
average was the lowest in flock of
years. 1t was even worse than that.
A New Open Champion.
y IG money golf tournaments down
r. South throw new interest on
~ younger golfers coming along
with the idea in mind as to whether
there will be another new open cham-
pion this season.
There has been new champion every
year now, with one exception, since
1919.
The one exception was Bobby Jones,
who won in 1928 and 1926. The list
shows Ray, Barnes, Sarazen, Jones,
Walker, Macfarlane, Armour and Far
rcll.
A new champion breaking through
today must outstep star field OF

Walter Hagen, who won In 1914 and
1919.
Those capable of winning, who haven't

DEMPSEY LEFT OUT
OF GARDENS PLANS
Carey Is Named President
OF Corporation-Jack May
Go With Fugazy.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
n YEW YORK, March l9.-The &C
tivities of Jack Dempsey and
NJ the Madison Square Garden
l. Corporation in promotion of
fights were on different paths
today.
An hour after Dempsey had made
plans for lightweight titular battle
between Sammy Mandell, the champion,
and Ray Miller, Chicago contender,
under his sole direction, the Garden
through Richard F. Hoyt. chairman of
the board, announced that William F.
Carey was to be chosen president of
the corporation In succession to the
late Tex Richard.
In the Gardens reorganization plan
Dempsey will have no place. The cor
poration is extremely friendly to the
former champion and perhaps will be
eager to have his cooperation on some
of its future fights. But it Is not ready,
now at least, to meet Dempsey's finan-
cial demands for aligning himself per-
manently with the organization that
Richard built.
Dempsey is debating terms with Hum
bert Fugazy, metropolitan promoter.
They conferred yesterday.
Later Jack came out with his plans
for the -Mandell battle either in
Detroit or New York on or about June
Z. Beyond getting both Mandell and
Miller to agree to the match Jacks
plans apparently have not progressed
beyond the early stages.
It was generally thought that either
Floyd Fitzsimmons or Fugazy would be
associated with Dempsey when fight
time rolls around. Fitzsimmons and
Dempsey are close friends and have
tentatively agreed to promote both box
ing and racing in Detroit.
For several years before Richards
death Carey was the guiding genius
behind the business end Of the corpora
tion's activities. He was the contractor
who built the New Madison Square
Garden.

flied in the agreement then

ton thereafter secretly re- .
funded.
For the violations above set
forth of the major and major
minor league rules governing
transfer and reservation of
players, players Guy Cantrell,
Melbern E. SimonS, Charles
Glazner, j. B. Partridge and
Ralph Judd are declared free
agents, who may contract with
any club except that, prior to
the year 1881, none Of the clubs
COR subsidiaries thereoD con-
cerned in their respective cases
may acquire any interest in
their services. The following
fines are imposed.
Upon Baltimore and Wash
ington, $500 each in the Can
trell case.
Upon Washington and Biz
mingham, $500 each in the
Glazner case and $500 each in
the Partridge case. No fines
are imposed on these clubs in
the Simons and Judd cases be-
cause they were completed
prior to the aforementioned
notice.
Griff Has No Redress.
That's the way the thing
stands, and what Lands says
goes" too.
Griff's ire over the penalties
inflicted on his club undoubt-
eddy was due to the fact that
Washington should be made
the chief goat for something it
has been no more guilty of
than any other club-probably
to a far lesser degree than
many of them-and in his heat
he said some caustic things.
There's where Griff was in
judicious-to put it mildly
for under the terms of the
major league agreement the
commissioners authority Is
practically unlimited.
If Lands chose to regard
Griffith's utterances as conduct
detrimental to base ball he
could impose a fine of $4,000,
suspend or even remove him
as president Of the Washington
club.
And there would be no ap-
peal. for Lands is the highest
court-in base ball.
