HOCKEY RULE CHANGES
More Scoring and Less Halting Is Expected to Result From Differ- ence in Regulations.

New York, Nov. 14 UP)-Under the new rules more scoring and less halting of play by officials are eX pected to feature the National Hook ey league season which opens tonight in four cities.
 The opening games follow:
 Boston Bruins at Detroit.
 New York Rangers at Montreal (Maroons.)
 Les Canadens at Ottawa.
 Chicago Black Hawks at Toronto.
 The most pronounced change is the forward pass rule which permits passing in all three zones of the rink as long as the puck carrier is in the same area as the team mate to whom he passes. This is expected to develop more scoring and climi- nate scoreess ties and 10, 2-1 and similar scores.
 Only three players, including the goalkeeper. will be permitted in the teams defense area at such time as the play is elsewhere. Goalkeepers must get rid of the puck instantly after catching it.

BIKE RAGE VICTORS
Reggie McNamara and Gaetano Bel loni Take a Much Needed and De- served Rest After Grind.

Chicago. Nov. 14 (UP)-Reggie McNamara and Gaetano Belloni took much needed and well de- served rest today after pedaling their way to victory in the 22nd in ternational bicycle race.
 The Italian American team main tained it's scant lead during the final hour of sprinting last night and the end of the IA hour grind of con- stant pedaling found the two still a lap ahead of their nearest rivals. the French combination of Alfred Letourner and Paul BroCardo.
 It was consistent racing that won for McNamara and Belloni as they were among the slowest sprinters in the field. They gradually pedaled their way into the lead Tuesday night and then doggedly held on for the remainder of the race.
 Letourner and Brocardo fought their way into second place during the last three hours, regaining a lap which they had lost earlier to the German team of Rausch and Delberg.
