ORHOCKEY AFFAIRS
Cage Game Has Ruled Supreme
for Years; Other Winter
Sports Demanded

Kansas City, Jan. l6.-(F)--Hockey
has invaded the capital Of basketball.
Kansas City, where the court SPORT
has ruled like an autocrat for many
years. reaching the pinnacle Of its
glory with the annual A. A. U. tourna-
merlts for the national championship,
now knows that basketball Is not the
only winter sport.
When w. F. ("BillO Grant left q
paying hockey club in Duluth last
winter to pioneer with the ice game
in a new field he attracted spectators
because they were curious. But the
spectators became fans. discovering
that the flash of little puck chasers
across ice, the battle before the nets
and the frequent physical clashes
compared favorably with the clever
dribbling and swift passing Of basket
ball.
Hockey Is Failure
Hockey proved failure financially
in the first season. But Grant was
undaunted and returned this winter
with virtually the same club, which
ended we'll up in the 1923 race
In their early games the 1923 Pla-
Mors have demonstrated the dopesters
were not wild In predicting an Ameri-
can Hockey association title for the
Kansas City team before spring.
The five-club circuit Of last season
was increased to six, Winnipeg drop
ping out and Tulsa and st. Louis
coming in for the first season Of ice
hockey. ST. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth are the other members.
The sport has fascinated st. Louis.
Walter r. Whiteside, millionaire oil
man. who is backing the Tulsa club,
will spend almost 5000 900 on his club
and palatial rink.

Among the stars popularizing the
game here are Bert Mcleod OF Peter

Sport is far from being a modern
invention. They played tag and
tossed rocks in the neolithic ages but
the big concentration and the high
powered stuff is Of more recent origin.
Nineteen twenty-three, for an ex-
ample that Is fresh in memory, had
q thrill in every stage Of its COMPETE
tive whirl as 1t touched off the biggest
boom that sports have ever had.
Five years may not mean so much
when you're talking about the careers
Of ~ Cobb or Cy Young, Walter
Hagen or Harry vardon, but the last
five have been the most significant in
athletic history.
The passing show Of 1923 featured
the flashing episodes Of Dempsey,
and Firpo. Zev and Papyrus, Tilden
and Johnston, Wills and Mallory,
Ruth and McGraw. It quickencd the
pace, started professional values
shooting sky-high and overthrew a
flock Of old-fashioned stalwarts and
ideas.
Many, II not most, Of the sensa-
Clonal developments OF sport, the
changing times and the new order of
things may be traced directly back
to the impetus Of 1923.
Tex Richard put boxing on q spec
tacular big business in 1921 when he
staged the Dempsey Carpenter bat
tie Of the century" at Jersey City, but
1928 was q bigger year for the ring,
brought to d smashing climax by the
battle Of ages" between Dempsey and
Firpo at the Polo Grounds.
Nineteen twenty three was the year
that saw Bobby Jones scale national
championship golf heights for the
first time, after many q disappoint-
ment, and launch q triumphant
march that is now without parallel in
the royal and ancient domain.
When Jones, then just become of

/ am wondering as write, If before
the basketball season is too old, these
changes In the rules will be made
elective. Officials have been calling
the plays q long time under the old
rules, and they sem q bit calloused to
the progressive changes. Evidently.
they have developed habit-a reflex,
which will take time to replace. For
instance, the play in this vineyard
rule Is such q rapid one that the
referees decision will require the de-
velopment OF q new mental track.
Old grooves are worn deeply; and the
men In charge Of the game are not
apt to develop new eyes and new
tracks for little while.
Psycholosically, in times Of stress
and excitement. we revert to habits
and actions Of the past. Thus, do

Basketball progressive says: Eyes.

And so 1t has always been. But
two extremes often develop q happy
mean. Often when a team pulls
some questionable play. which Is the
product Of the brain of its foxy coach,
the referee, as well as the rival
coaches, shout, Illegal
We'll. show me rule against it!'
retorts the willy coach. The rule book
seems not to contain one. And SO 1t
goes. Usually, such plays are found
to be just outside the precincts Of
ethical basketball and just within the
rules. Consequently. change in the
rules is supposed to be the only means
OF blocking these illegal pet" plays.
The evolution Of the game Of bas-
ketball seems to lleccssitate new Of
fensive and new defensive measures.
The offense. usually, outspeeds the de-
tense.
The joint basketball rules commit
tee has made some excellent changes
IN the rules and these changes should
aid the game. But they will not give
us the help that they should unless
the officials can solve the difficulty
encountered in their interpretations
and IN their endorsements OF the
rules.
Dribbling
The dr!bble rule has caused more
agitation than all OF the others COM
btned. This year the responsibility
Is put on the dribbler. He must 60
clearly around his guard and avoid
personal contact. But in the dozen
or SO early collegiate games that I
have witnessed this year. the officials
are working the dribble rule exactly
as they worked it last year. They
are still allowing the dribblcr to pillow
through, and also to bodyblock while
dribbling.
! doubt If the advance of the sea-
son will find the average official Of
the game changing his last years
habits materially. But this rev anti
block rule is q splendid one, II en-
