COACHES D. K.
GRID RULES

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Football
coaches from all over the United
States were homeward bound to-
day after a one-day conference
here In which they did little more
than elect officers.
w. A. Alexander, Georgia Tech,
was elected president: John r.
("Chick") Meehan, New York Uni
versity, vice president; DR.. Clar-
ence Spears, Minnesota, second
vice president, and w. II. Cowell,
New Hampshire University, secre-
tary-treaSurer.
Trustees chosen were George
Clark, Butler; Dan Nice ugin, Van.
derbi1t; Nal Stevens, Yale, and
Francis Smith, Texas Christian.
After much discussion the
coaches voted against recon-
mending any changes in the
present football rules. Prob
ably the mOSt-talked-Of pro-
posed change was that abOl-
ishing the point after touch
down.
The tumble question came in
for quite a bit Of talk, as did the
proposition that a team forced to
within five yards Of the Sidelines
would have the option Of continu-
ing play there or moving in to a
point is yards from the Sidelines
at the cost Of a down.
The Carnegie report was men
toned. President Bezdek, Of Penn
State, said he remembered things
far worse than any mentioned In
the report, but most Of them had
been washed away and his advice
was not to take the foundations
survey too seriously.

Western Stars Made
FavOrites at Frisco

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 81
The Western All Stars today were
installed as slight favorite to
win from the Eastern All Stars
when they meet here tomorrow in
the annual shrine game.
Experts have conceded an edge
to the Western players because it
is believed that Coach Locey has
a better balanced aggregation. and
one which may break away for a
score via the aerial route at any
time.

I, For instance, John Blick's hUs-'
band and wife tournament at the
Arcadia, drew around thirty Cou-
Piles last year and boosted that
total to forty this year. When
you stop To think Of it, that is
quite a laygu number of domes-
tic pairs In any one sport to be
found peacefully together in any
one place.
Some Of these couples click
marvellously well, on the alleys
too, as is attested by the scores.
Last night found Mr.. and Mrs. w.
j. Quigley, setting up a dizzy 657
combined total to take undiSputed
leadership in the first block and
spot themselves to a nifty margin
that regardless of tonight'S out
come will tide them over to VIC
tory. The next best performance
was that of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis,
who mounted a 626 set, 81 pins
back of the leaders. Mr.. and Mrs.
Miltner, last year winners are well
down the line.

in the consolation flight, Glen
Weidman and Pop Maize had to
muster 500 each in a desperate
struggle to overcome the hard
fighting Freddy Moore and John

Moore put on O great finish,
picking up a mass Of pins with a
big ia game, while Hall also
made bid with a 124 finisher,
but the margin was too great.
Pop Maize had q 15t and 1873 to

TITLE BOUT FOR

Mickey Walker And Ace
Hudkins Bcut on July
8, In Making
BY VICTOR G.. SIDLER

NEASSUCidbCA LLCCS SBCAtS NAlttIJ
LAS VEGAS. Nev.-(P-Visions
Of future growth with the great
Boulder dam in the offing have
placed Las Vegas boosters whole
heartedly behind preparations for
a proposed championship fight July
4 between Mickey Walker, middle
weight king, and Ace Hudkins,
wildcat challenger from Nebraska.
Blooming almost overnight into
lowered prosperity under the pros
pect Of great stores Of waters be-
hind a towering buttress across the
Colorado river canyon, Las Vegas
placed itself behind Tom Kennedy,
Los Angeles promoter, who came
here with plans for a 20-round til
tular battle. He has selected the
site for a great arena, on the out
skirts of Las Vegas, capable Of seat
ing $4,000.
It is within e miles of the shores
Of the turbulent Colorado. and the
Boulder dam site, at Black canyon,
upon which the residents Of Las
Vegas are building hopes Of a pros
perity that many p~rOSpectors failed
to unearth in their search for bo-
nanZa fields.
Although Las Vegas is situated
far from the large metropolitan CEN
tiers on the coast and the larger
cities Of the Rocky mountain re-
gion, hackers of the proposed fight
anticipate success in the venture.
The title bout would be a 'rematch,
the two having met in Chicago last
year, at which time Walker o a
decision unpopular to many. Hud-
kins always has been a good draw
ing card on the coast. and Kennedy
expects fight fans from the Pacific
seaboard to help fill his arena.
Surrounded on all sides by noun
famous country that is covered with
sage and mesquite. Las Vegas itself
is a typical frontier town. Like
many Of the pioneer communities,
it was built up along the railroad,
the main street running parallel
with the tracks of the trans-conti-
mental line. To the city bred per-
son Las Vegas appears as a desolate
waste, with its dusty, gray soil.

British ! 0 Up
Railway Service
AS America Gains

LONDON, April 6.-(P-Taking
speed and frequency together,
British train service leads the
world, says Sir Ralph WedgeWood,
British railway magnate.
American train service is. how
ever, challenging British suprem-
acy, Sir Ralph admits, and the
next few years may see the leader
ship pass to the United States.
France and Germany are in the
rear on these factors of transpor-
tation.
In short runs-lesS than 100
miles-American trains already
show a slight superiority over Brit
ish trains, Sir Ralph told a meet
ing Of officials and employees OF
the London and North Eastern
railway, Of which he is chief gen.
eral manager.
In 1900, according to Sir Ralph's
research, 20 select English train
services, ranging from 80 to $50
miles, showed an average speed OF
42.5 miles an hour. Twenty SINH
lar American services in that year
we're operated at an average Of &c
miles an hour. But by 1923 the
British trains average rate OF
travel was down to 41.9 miles an
hour, while the selected American
trains had increased their average
to Alb miles an hour.
In the same year twenty select
French services averaged 40.8
miles an hour while a correspond
ing number Of typical German
trains had an hourly average
speed Of only 36.6 miles.
The failure to increase British
train speed in % years was eX-
planned by Sir Ralph as being due
to the tremendous increase in the
weight Of trains. This factor had
overcome the increase in locomo-
tive power. Moreover, the effect
of the war was to slow train SER
vice.
Since 1900 the frequency Of
American trains has been about
doubled. In the same period the
number of English trains has in
creased by about so per cent.

him wanting as a serious contender
for championship honors.
Johnny broke his losing streak
here last night by administering q

and his rugged mitigating prevent
ed Won Porat from doing much with
his right hand, reputed to be a ter

Both battlers weighed 1913 pounds,
but the Norwegian was a head tall

boy and had the longer reach. De
spite these advantages, he was only
able to Jab Risko weakly with his

Vance to Twirl Against
Indians Today

EALLAS, Tex, April 6.-F)-
ALL well with the New York
Yankees again for Babe Ruth has
come through with his first home
run Of 1929. The Babe came to
bat in the eighth inning Of yes
terday'S game with the Dallas
Steers with the score tied at IL
all. He caught hold of y Of
Schuman's left-handed curves and
lifted it up over the right field
bleachers. That blow not only
gave the Babe his first homer Of
the campaign, but won a hectic ball
game for the Yankees, 12-11.
John McGraw is well satisfied
with Karl Hubbell's pitching bur
the young left-hander's fielding
leaves much to be desired. The
Little Napoleon of the New York
Giants had Hubbell working over
rect some Of his fielding faults.
Karl has a bad habit Of trying to
make double plays by throwing the
ball into center field.
Grady Adkins is the first White
Sox pitcher to travel the full nine
inning route this season . He went
the distance against the Wichita
Falls Spudders yesterday and al
though he was nicked for IL hits,
the White SoX won, 8 to Z.
Charlie Root, who slumped badly
in 1923, has pleased Manager Joe
Mccarthy Of the Cubs with his
spring form this year. Root allow
ed but four hits in seven innings
yesterday and the Cubs defeated
Houston for the second straight
time, 8 to 8.
The second test Of the Cleveland
Indians against a big league base
ball team found them facing the
the Brooklyn Robins at New Or
leans today. Dazzy Vance is eX-
pected to give the tribe its first
experience this year against first
rate pitching.
The Cincinnati Reds today went
out for their daily dozen on the
baseball field at Vanderbilt uni
versity. On the same diamond,
the Red Legs met Clarence Row
lands Volunteers yesterday and
barely nosed out the Nashville
team, 2 to /. Tomorrow the Reds
will meet the club again, with Red
Lucas, a native Of Nashville, on
the mound.
After again losing to the Pirates
yesterday, 10 to 8, Detroit was to
go back on a minor league diet to-
day. The Tigers are to meet the
Fort Worth club today and tomor-
