BIC TEN TO HANDLE
/. ITS OWN ATHLETICS
Breaks Definitely With A. A.
U.-0hi0 State PaveS
Way to Action.
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON.


~ HICAGO, January 10. - The
Western Conference has brok-
en- off relations with the ANA
~ teur Athletic Union of America
and henceforth will conduct its
own athletic meets independently, Maj.
John l.. Griffith, conference athletic
commissioner, revealed today.
The action, which Maj. Griffith said
was agreed to by every member of the
conference, eliminates a. quarrel be-
tween the two organizations, which has
been simmering for years but which
reached its breaking point this past
week, when Northwestern University
and Ohio State rebelled at A. A. U.
policies.
Northwestern decided to break with
the A. A. u, when the latter organi-
cation refused to sanction a swimming
meet between the Purple and the Chi
cago Athletic Association because sew
eral of its swimmers had competed in
an unsanctioned meet last Summer.
Ohio State followed suit yesterday,
when it decided to run the Ohio relays
without seeking A. A. U. sanction as in
the past.
mo longer will the Western Confer
ence bend under the yoke of the A. A.
IT," Maj. Griffith told the Associated
Press. I'VE are tired of its continual
demands and its general attempts to
dominate our affairs. Henceforth, we
will conduct athletic meets with clubs
and teams that we choose and will not
pay the regular $40 tribute to obtain
the heretofore required sanction.
Will Care for Itself.
"The Western Conference is big
enough to handle its own athletic af-
fairs. It does not wish to govern
| neither does it wish to be governed 1t
| will strictly adhere to the amateur rules,
of course, but will be totally independ-
ent of A. A. u domination.
THE A. A. U. was organized 40 years
ago with a noble purpose-to foster
| amateur athletics. During the past
| decade, however, it has overstepped its
bounds and acted as muff1er on the
progress of amateur athletics. The
Western Conference can brook its in
reference no longer"

PALMER TO COACH
DEWITT TRACKMEN
Former Prep School Sprint
Star Succeeds HeIme as
Tutor of Team.

w WALTER PALMER, former
n Dewitt track star, has been
NV named track coach at that
school to succeed Harry
Helme, who has resigned be-
cause of pressure of other business.
Palmer was a member of the crack
Dewitt one-mile relay team which In
1924 established new national Scho-
lastic record at minutes 3015 seconds
in the outdoor Kansas relays at Law
renee, This team set what would have
been a world scholastic record for the
mile in the indoor University of Rich
mond games in 1925 at 3 minutes 81
seconds The mark was not recognized,
however, as the officials ruled the
course was not regulation.
Appearance of Devitt'S team in the
Richmond game marked the debut Of
a relay team from that school in COM
petition. The performance earned for
the combination wide recognition. From
that time until last Spring Dewitt was
never beaten in a relay race. The
crack De La Sale Institute team of
Long Island, N. Y, finally turned the
trick.
Other members of the strong Dewitt
relay combination of Palmer'S days
were Gordon Clark Bob Shelter and
John Carney, all now at Georgetown.
Has Organized Team.
Palmer has just organized his track
squad for the impending campaign and
has had his charges going through con-
ditioning work in the school gym for
several days. AS soon as the weather
is favorable he will begin more serious
preparation on the board track at
Georgetown University.
Despite that he has only two letter
winners from last season at hand, Pal
mer is hopeful of developing a strong
team and is especially DESTROYS of build
ing a relay four that will regain Devitt's
laurelS
Bill Summers is captain of the squad
which contains approximately 20 cam
didates. Summers. a pole vaulter and
broad jumper of proved worth. is with

For several years the societies
f1ourished and the girls enjoyed
their new liberty of action and dress,
but their elders did not enjoy it so
much. The sight of girls playing
foot ball and sprinting in mems toys

strong reactionary movement set in.

LACROSSE IS POPULAR
WITH BRITISH WOMEN

LONDON, January IS R).-De-
spite its strenuous nature, the game
Of lacrosse is rapidly coming into
favor with the women Of England.
There are SO schools and 81 clubs
affiliated with the All-England
Ladies' Lacrosse Association at pres
ent and the number is growing every
week.
Much of the popularity may be
explained by the fact that it is be-
ing recommended as an aid to grace.
Miss M. LockIey, secretary Of the
association, is one of the most en-
thusiastic supporters of this side of
the sport, saying the very nature of
the game, which involves much limb
stretching, makes for grace in its
players.

Scholastic basket ball teams of the

Principals of the five schools having
ordered at meeting yesterday that the
public high school championship basket
ball series proceed as originally planned,
Central and Eastern and Business and
T, Western were to clash this afternoon in
Tech gym. The principals ignored the
recommendation that Tech, with four
wins in as many starts, the series lead
er, be ordered to replay three of its
four games because the Tech floor, scene
OF the games, was not as large as had
been originally agreed upon. The prin-
cipalS ordered that the width of the
court be increased from As to so feet.
They absolved Tech authorities of any
intention of giving that schools team
an advantage in laying out the smaller
court. The Tech officials explained
that the court had to be narrower to
permit proper seating accommodations
and to leave room for a running track.
In floor games tonight, involving
scholastics hereabouts, Tech, the only
team that was to be idle in the title
series, will engage Catholic University

Basket Ball Problems
BY OSWALD TOWER,
Member Joint Rules Committee.

Question-If a jumper taps, catches
and bounces the ball once, may he tap
and catch the ball on jump immedi-
ately following this play?
Answer-Yes. He has dribbled after
the first catch, thus fulfilling the re-
ouirement that the ball be dribbled,
passed or thrown. Even one bounce
gives his opponents a chance at the
ball and an opportunity to prevent a
succession Of plays of this kind.
