AGAINST ABOLITION
Suggest Distance Penalties

M The opening verbal blast
4 of the annual meetings of
intercollegiate athletic Of
ficials has developed support for
foot balls much-abuSed point
after touchdown.
A definite move toward abolition of
the extra point had been widely fore
cast, but the first official action of the
meetings favored retention of this
scoring feature of the game.
Delegates to the annual sessions of
the Eastern Association of Intercolle-
giate Foot Ball Off1cials last night ap-
proved the extra point but suggested
that the penalties for fouls occurring
while the try for point is made are now
too drastic They referred specifically
to the present rule under which extra
points are awarded, or diSallowed, be-
cause of offSide. They suggested I'm
position of distance penalties for offside.

by a widespread discussion as to the
legality of the play under the tumble
rule which says that tumble of a

covery. Barres grabbed a kicked ball
after it bounded out of the arms of a
Georgia player. The ball did not touch
the ground before Barres caught it.

Washington State and Purple

~ ASADENA, Calf, December 90
- Two of the countrys leading
foot ball teams, Washington
State and Alabama, swept into
the home stretch of fast-waning grid
season today and settled down to f1nal
preparation for the sixteenth annual
Tournament of Roses game here New
Year day.
Many roads led to the battle site, the
Rose Bowl in its picturesque Arroyo

Coach Grin Babe" Hollingbery is sat-
isfied with the physical and mental
status of his Washington State array.
Coach Wallace Wade is convinced his
Alabamans have learned their foot ball
well, but isn't so sure that they will be
in top form.
Both mentors rounded the turn in
final preparations Saturday with tough
sessions in the morning and then
allowed them a first-hand study OF grid
iron geometry as displayed by the ALL
Notre Dame and West-South teams in
their charity tuSsle in Les Angeles.
Yesterday was a day Of relaxation,
with trips to the Pacific Ocean front
taking the edge off a week of hard work
for both aggregations
Coach Hollingbery says he is not dis
turbed over the potentialities of Ala
bama's players.
What betting has taken place favors
Alabama Coach Wade says this is
without merit. He is convinced that
should the weather turn exceedingly
warm-and there are indications that it
will-the result will work i'll effects on
either or both teams.
Chances are that the contest will not
attract a maximum crowd of $4,000.
The advance sale, however, had reached
almost $4,000 Saturday.

T\HE vast temperamental difference
between Jack Dempsey and

TO it.
Dempsey was the final word in ten
sion and explosive force-Tunney the
final word in relaxation before light.
Neither has changed. Tunney is more
than content to settle down to quiet
life, in or around one place. Dempsey
is all over the map-MeXico. California,

have you? He could no more camp in

What Condition Means.

VET these two have one matter in
L common. Both have kept in con-
dition--they weigh but little more,
hardly more than pound or two, than
when they last met back in 1927. They
are at least moving into middle age in
shape.
Tunney was the best conditioned
fighter that every stepped into a ring,
because he gave most of his time and
thought to the matter of perfect physi-
cal shape. There never was harder
or more conscientious trainer than
Dempsey. II think I overdid my train
ing for my last fight" ne says.
It's a fairly certain guess that this is
true. He began hard training in Feb
ruary of 1927 got ready for Jack
Sharkey in the Summer, went back into
hard training Immediately afterward
and kept driving away until he met
Tunney in September i'll Chicago. This
eight-month siege of heavy training for
a man past 80 was more than any hui
man system could stand. Tunney could
rest and ease off in his Work-Dempsey
couldn't. There is certain driving
force in many natures that is almost
impossible to harness.
