Bout Is Sought

Bp }Hit6d Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-President
w. F. Carey and Matchmaker Tom
McCard1e will appear before the
New York state athletic commission
today in an attempt to secure per-
mission to stage a bout between
Johnny Risko of Cleveland and
Vittorio Campolo, Argentine heavy
weight, at the Garden. Feb. 7.
The match was disapproved by
the commission earlier in the week
on the grounds that Risko was "too
small" to furnish competition for
Campolo, who is feet inches tall
and weighs 227.

OPPONENTS of the delayed Of
W Tense, which, in some instances
and by some fans, is called the
stall" will be interested to know
they have a champion, and an &C
tive one at that. Over at Heldel-
berg university, somewhere in Ohio,
Herman Sayger is the director OF
athletics. 1t seems that Herman is
not altogether pleased with the
trend of modern basketball. Some
where he has picked up a great dis
like for the SLOW breaking, me-
chanical type of hardwood pastim-
ing, now in vogue. So, Suiting the
action to the word, Herman has
worked out a solution, which may
sound plausible to him, but which
to us is an attack upon the very
fundamentals of basketball.
Sayger's idea is this: ANY player
on either side can shoot at either
goal at any time, depending only
on his physical ability to throw the
ball the necessary distance. Think
of all the possibilities that leaves
open.
To keep the game from becoming too
fast players will be allowed to dribble
only one time. If player Is fouled when
not In possession of the ball, he takes
possession of it out of bounds instead Of
getting free throw.
A ND the poor referee. Under
n this new plan, the officials
would be given absolute power. II
the ball falls through the nets dur
ing a heated scuff1e under the bas-
ket, and the referee is in doubt
which side scored it, he rules a
jump ball at the foul line. Looks
like a great season for razz-berries.
q
LoyoIa's zone defense wouldn't be much
good in this type of game. The teams
would be forced to guard the entire floor.
The tip-off also is eliminated under this
plan, the team scored taking posses
sion of the bali out of bounds.
This idea isn't exactly a new one 1t
was suggested several years ago, but this
is about the first time that it has been
considered even slightly seriously.
DACKBoARD's opinion is that
I'D Sayger has started in the
wrong direction. He's due for a lot
of laughs and outlaws. SO was Jules
Verne, though. But to us, elm
mating defensive play in basketball
would be ike forcing the opposing
linenaen to lie fiat on their stom-
achs in a football game, or elm
mating second and third bases, and
having the batter run to first and
back again in baseball.
