her chair scraped and she had
to mention that she was sorry.
Bill seemed to think it was
funny to say Hush" loudly. in
imitation Of her former efforts,
and he did get a responsive
chuckle from Gordon.
Dulcy was forced to admit
that perhaps this piece was a
little long. For his next num-,
ber she would suggest some
thing shorter. She wanted
everyone to have a good time.
Eventually, the piece .came to
an end with a flourish. Dulcy
waited for a full moment Of
silence to make sure that she
wasn't mistaken this time.
Then she rushed forward to
thank him, but Vincent had
taken the center Of the stage.

a languid gesture, he seemed

Lovejoy turned her head and
saw Toms old automobile COM
ing slowly up the street. Tom
was driving it, and beside him
sat Norrie with the baby in
her lap.

Aline. Il certainly wouldn't let

1t struck Lovejoy that she

not want to be pitied.

care what Tom Nicholson does!
I've been seeing a lot of
Steve Oglebay lately, myself.
I'm going my way-and Tom
can go his! If left him,
Steve would take me in a min

She could have bitten off her
tongue for saying that to Aline,
almost as soon as the words
were out of her mouth. She
hadn't meant to tell anyone
about herself and Steve Ogle-

r OVEJOY spent the next day
shopping for a pair of

found a pair of blue crackle

Il suppose I shouldn't have

the way home. Tom says he
is going to be jailed for his

getting the South Port letters
and the ones from Sam Oliver.
There was one of the South

My daily fear Is that Tom
will get hold Of one Of those

their blackened lashes.

Forbes was too dignified to like

He grunted assent, hardly
knowing what he was in for.

Forbes was so absorbed in

OPEN TITLE SERIES
Wisconsin, Joint Holder of

Northwestern.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, January A. Another
Western Conference basket ball cham
pionship campaign will be inaugurated
tonight at Evanston, where Wisconsin
and Northwestern will play the initial
league game.
For Wisconsin the contest will be the
first gesture toward a second consecu-
tive season at the top of the list. The
Badgers shared the title with Michigan
in 1929, winning 10 games and losing
two. Both defeats were accomplished
by Michigan, which lost two games out
of II. Northwestern and Illinois were
the teams able to down the Wolverines.
Northwestern finished fourth in the
1929 race, winning seven games and los
ing five, the defeats including two by
Wisconsin.
In pre-conference games Wisconsin
has kept its slate clean with four
straight victories, against two triumphs
and two defeats for the Wildcats in
their preliminary contests. Wisconsin
defeated Grinnell, Carleton, Lombard
and Iowa State by decisive scores, while
Northwestern engaged in tougher COM

ROSENBLOOM SCORES,
"FOOLING" OFFICIALS
BY JOHN ]. ROMANO.

NEW YORK, January 4.-Maxie
Rosenbloom cuffed his way to a 10
round decision over Leo LomSki at
Madison Square Garden last night and
sort of nullified the ruling of the local
boxing commission that Jimmy Stat
terry and Lou Scozza should fight 1t out
for the right to be declared the leader
of the 175-pound class.
RoSenbloom continues to upset the
calculations Of the governing bodies by
beating those rated above him. Unless
he suffers an official Setback-a reverse
deciSion-the public will continue to
believe that he is entitled to first
ranking.
Against I,omski. RoSenbloom made a
counter fight until he was forced to
take the aggressive. Leo looked far
better than the Slap-stick artist for the
reason that his blows carried more
power.
RoSenbloom does not strike a legal
blow with his right. His cufines are
illegal. Slattery has never been ac-
cused of striking an unfair punch.
RoSenbloom continually cuffed and
pulled Lomski about and made the lat
ter look bad. AS things actually were.
It was the Aberdeen battler who made
the fight and caused Rosenbloom to
look good. Lpmski tore after his OPP
ponent round after round and made
RoSenbloom show more stuff than he
has In long time. II Leo had more
versatility he could have outscored his
opponsnt. but as long as he was willing
to plunge in and have Rosenbloom peck
him OIL and cut him with q sharp left
hook he was destined to lose
1t was hard fight. thanks to I,omski.
RosenblOom won because he fooled the
judges.

BY DUTRA AND GUEST

The last half of the $50 entrants in
the Long Beach $500 open golf
tournament will go to the tee today
for an l8-hole qualifying round to
shoot at the 67-Stroke record hung up
by Olin Dutra and Charles Guest yes
terday in leading the first group.
Indications are that those of the last
half will have to come within five
strokes of Dutra and Guest, Southern
California professionals, to qualify.
Sixty-four low cards and ties will
qualify, but the large number under
the par 70 figure yesterday and the
long list of favorites and near favorites
in today's group of starters gave rise
to fears that any one over par might
be left in the club house at the start of
the final SO Sunday
John Golden, Paterson, N. J., pro-
feSsional, was one over par. and likely
the score will leave him out of the
final.
Clarence Clark. Tulsa, Okla, profess

amateur, with cards of So, tied for
runner-up positions. Nine were tied at
third place with 70S and % finished
at par or better.
Dutra, Santa Monica. Calf, profess
Slonal, scored two eagles and three

The argument for the new rule, which
was instigated by the coaches, is that
it is unfair to penalize an entire team
severely for an error of one man. To
which one might retort little YEARLY,
What is team? Is it an entity, is it
not? Or, at least, Is it not supposed
to be? Then is not a chain only as
strong as its weakest link?"
Somebody in denouncing the rule
says that 1t is un-American. AS
a matter of fact, it is un-Eng-
lish. not to mention un-Chinese You
might go further and say that 1t
is uncivlized and unnatural. In
the English foot ball games, Rugby
or association, the entire team is
penaliZed to the full extent for the
error of one man.
To change our foot ball rules in this
regard rather seems an admission that
our young collegianS are much dumber
than the English and much more prone
to tumble or boot the ball around in
a bewildered fashion. 1t is an aSsump-
ton that they are much slower in the
bean and more uncertain on their feet
than the athletes of any other country.
This might all be true but We ought
to keep it dark. 1t does no good to tell the
world that the young men in the Ameri-
can universities are butter fingered,
knock kneed and bone -headed. Then
again, it will hardly tend to cure these
weaknesses when they are admitted and
full allowances are made for them. Cod
ding the dumb only makes them
dumber.
II this is good policy, the rules
committee should go further. AS
the amendment stands, II back,
in running to the opponents goal
line, should drop the ball into the
hands of one of the opposing team,
he would be penalized by the loss
of the ball at the point where he
dropped it.
This sounds altogether too rash, judg-
ing from the present attitude of the
rules committee. The back who dropped
the ball should not be halted. He should
be permitted to continue as though he
still had possession of the ball. When
he reaches the opponents goal line
with an imaginary foot ball under his
arm he should be credited with touch
down. Otherwise the side would be
penalized most unfairly for the error
of one man.
1.-THE Blighted Careers"
There is another argument which the
coaches used on the foot ball rules COM
