must not over-emphasize interna- tional play and We must stress the desirability of more intersectional
 play. We must strive for the great
 est harmony and player cooperation
 on those teams which represent
 this country abroad. AS the repre- sentatives Of this great nation, in a
 broader sense than were tennis players, there must be one hundred per cent amateur sportsmanship and a willingness to sink individual ism for the benefit of the team S success. There must also be q stricter adherence to and enforce ment Of the International Lawn Tennis federation regulations. not only on the part Of the players but by association as we'll Laxity in this respect this year is engaging our attention at this moment.
 Personally, l would go further in restrictive provisions than either the international federation or the Davis cup regulations provide at this time. believe that not more than sixty days should be allowed for the playing of the Davis cup interzone and challenge round ties, including the time necessary for travelling abroad.
 l further believe that no player should be chosen to represent us for more than three successive years, regardless of his playing ability at the close of such 8 period, follow ing collegiate precedent. Perhaps four years service on international teams, not necessarily in succession, may be 8 little less radical, but some move in this direction should be made. When the same player is selected year after year from 1920 to 1880, it puts premium on the playing of the game not for the love of it but because there are collateral advantages to be gained thereby. A great portion of American colleges and universities restrict the parti- cipation of undergraduates in var sity athletics to a period of three years.

WRITER'S SELECT
 ALL STAR TEAM
Lefty Grove of Athletics Is a Unanimous Selection

St. Louis, Dec. 31 Op) - Lefty Grove. pitching ace Of Connie Mack's Athletics, is the star of the | 1880 all-stars.
 Such is the verdict of 22S mem- bers of the Baseball Writers Associ. ation of America, 21S of whom named the southpaw twirler in bal lots returned to the Sporting News of St. Louis in the selection of its mythical club.
 The all-star squad includes six players from the American League and four from the National as fol- lows:
 Al Simmons, Athletics, left field Hack Wilson, Cubs, center field; Babe Ruth, Yankees, right field; Bill Terry, Giants, first base; Frankie Frisch, Cardinals, second base; Joe Cronin, Senators, short stop; Freddie Lindstrom, Giants, third base; Mickey Cochrane, Ath- letics, catcher; Bob Grove, Athletics, pitcher; Wesley Terrell, Indians, pitcher
 Cochrane, Groves battery mate now named as the Sporting News All-Star catcher for the third suc- ccssive year. ran a close second in popularity with the experts. polling PIP votes. Hack Wilson, Chicago's s home run king, was next with 200.
 For the first time since the selec- tions were inaugurated six years ago, Rogers Hornsby failed to place. Another feature of the vote was the strong competition against Ruth in right field. Once the almost unani- nous choice for this position, the Babe received only 80 votes this year, compared with 63 for Hazen Cuyler of the Cubs and 56 for Chuck Klein Of the Philles.
 At first base Terry was far ahead of his rivals with 196 votes to A for Lou Gehrig, next in line. There were in fact no close races for in field positions.
 Of the 16 candidates mentioned for pitching honors, Ted Lyons of the White Sox was closest to the two victors, with Il ballots.

TENNIS ID GROW IN POPULARITY
Younger Players Have Made
 Spectacular Rises in Game
By LOUIS B. DALEY

l (President. United States Lawn
 Tennis Associatlon.)
 New York, Dec. 31 GP}-The year 1930 has been one of distinct pro- gress in the affairs of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, and 1881 gives every indication of accel- erating this constructive pace. l believe that the coming 12 months will witness a growth in the popu- larity of tennis and an advance in the administrative progress of the national association compared to which the records of former years will appear insignificant.
 The past year has been notable for the rise of the younger players to championship heights and the re- sultant interest both in tournaments and in the titular events in which they competed. The records of such remarkable young players as Doeg, Shields, Wood and sutter argue we'll for the continuance of the high plane of tennis play which has made the United States famous through past decades.
 Close upon the heels of players of this calibre comes a host of younger players, to mention a few, Gledhill Vines, Coen, Paret, Barry Wood and Bryan Grant, Jr, many of whom hold equal promise. The entry for the national junior and boy indoor ampionships with more than 200 competitors ranging in age from 12 to IS years, was the largest ever received for these events.
 The United States Lawn Tennis Association has, like all other anna teur sport governing bodies, felt the tendency of the times to commer- cialize sports. I have personally steadily resisted this condition and it has and will be in the future met with the same spirit and ideals of amateur sport which has governed tennis and the conduct of the game by this association in the past. l need only mention one incident dur ing 1880 wherein a prominent play CT was severely disciplined by the L. $. L. T. A. for infringement of the amateur regulations as an in stance of the attitude of this asso- citation in such matters.
 It must not be thought, however, that the association is perfect or that all it's objectives have been reached. We all are working stead ily for stricter enforcement of the rules and stricter supervision Of those who would evade or nullify regulations for personal or financial gain. In my speech of acceptance at St. Louis, I stated that tennis clubs, sectional associations, and national associations must be just as amateur as they expect the players to be. and in this direction we have certainly made progress.
 There must be a continuance of the closest scrutiny in the matter of travelling expenses allowed play CTS under our amateur rule. We

Samy Barry, above, and Dr. Wal ter Meanwell favor elimination of center jump.
 By EVERETT S. DEAN
 Basketball Coach, Indiana University
 During the last few years there has been considerable agitation among coaches for certain rule re- forms. Two departments of play to be affected would be stalling and the center jump play. The rules com- mittee has suggested that coaches experiment with different proposed changes to find out if they merit trial. This no doubt is the wisest method to follow, for if the changes are not satisfactory no resembling will be necessary.
 The proposed change on the jump ball at center is to omit it except at the beginning of each half. After goals, the team scored upon would put the ball in play under it's own basket. Coach Sa1 7 Barry, former Iowa coach now at Southern Cali fornia, has been the main advocate of this change. Dr. Meanwell of Wisconsin also has been quoted as favoring this proposal.
 One reason advanced for doing away with the center jump is to eliminate congestion and contact around the center ring. Another is to rid the game of the undue ad- vantage of the unusually tall center. Tall men in basketball who have brought about this proposal are Murphy of Purdue, Shoun of Fire stone Rubber Co.,, Chadwick of Wa bash, and others.
 Many coaches are still working on the limitation of the dribble. The argument in favor of the plan is to discourage stalling tactics and to speed up the game. It has been sug- gested that the dribble be limited to one bounce. This would make a good style of game but would rob if of the most spectacular offensive weapon.

Speaking of Sports

There was certainly enough action In the second game in the Industrial Basketball league at the Tabs hall last night for even the most rabid court fan. Billed as bitter rivals, the Corbin Screw and P. & F. Corbin teams certainly proved that they were red hot when they clashed last night.

In plenty of cases. the foul shoot ing tells the story at the end of the game and explains victories on the one side and defeats on the other.
New Britain herald., 1930-12-31

Take next weeks game between the Stanley Rule and Corbin Screw. It is going to be a tough job for any referee-we don't care who he is- to handle this game and call the ma Jority of the fouls committed. With two officials in action, it would be an entirely different story. There is food for thought in this matter.
 Dick German caged the most sen- Eational shot of the year last night when he stood with one foot on the black mark of the circle about the foul line on the east side of the hall and sent the ball through the hoop in the basket at the other end of the hall. It was the longest shot of the year. The ball barely touched the rim going in.
New Britain herald., 1930-12-31

There was a great deal of criticism directed at Referee Dan Ahern in last nights game because he either did or he didn't call fouls. He called 31 personals in the second game. However, we are of the opinion that great deal of this criticism is un- fair. Spectators on the sidelines can see plenty of stuff that a referee cannot see on the floor.
New Britain herald., 1930-12-31

We understand that there is ob- jection on the part of some teams in the league to the double official system. We cant understand this because it would seem to us that the game better and certainly clean CT.
New Britain herald., 1930-12-31

The solution of the entire problem In these closely fought games, is a double official system. There should be two men on the floor to catch violations. It is impossible for one man to catch all violators of the rules when there are 10 men on the floor, each trying to pull every known trick of the game over one another.
New Britain herald., 1930-12-31

"Chucky" Wojack, forward for the Gascos, is fast being recognized as one of the best forwards in the league. It is practically impossible to stop him from shooting once he gets inside the foul line. He caged six shots in rapid succession last night in the second half of the game with the Newmatics.
 Fouls played an important part again last night in all of the games played. Landers caged 10 out of 20 free tries while Corbin Cabinet made only four out of 12. Corbin Screw caged 14 out of 23 while r. & r. made Il out of 19. The Gascos put in II out Of 14 while the Newmatics made only four out of 12.

That whatever attracts, detracts, or

That all roads are not smooth, but
the same watchfulness Is required on
good roads as on bad ones.
That you will find people at cross

Did you ever try to lead spirited
hound dawg on leash, or did one Of
them ever lead you? You know the
kind i mean, one of them yankin',
strainin', tuggin', yelpin' hounds with
forward march on the double quick as
their main object in life.
l know lot Of bozos who make
their automobiles act like one of those
restless hounds strainin' on leash
while they're waitin' for the traffic
light to change. They shoot forward
like the leash had busted, and if they
knock down a walker who amt had
time to reach the curb, it's all in the
days fun to them babies.
The red light was showin' on
crossin' in little upstate burg and
cross traffic was goin' by while the
main stem drivers sat still. Among
'em was drivin' fool at the wheel of
six-cylinder hound dawg. He had
sixth sense that could tell him just
three seconds in advance Of when the
light would change. His engine let
out snort like the yelp of hound,
and at the first ray of green he
jumped his bus almost off the pave
ment in his anxiety to be off in
hurry. AS the iron hound jumped, the
dust on the fender just brushed the
skirts of a motherly lookin' old lady
who had got two-thirds or better
across the cross walk and scared the
daylights out of her. She gave lit
tie squeak, jumped, stumbled over
the curb, hit her knee on a piece of
wood with sharp edge, cut bad
cash which resulted in stiff knee
for the rest of her life.
The ornery bozo what done that
trick never looked back. What the
HI would he care? He'd say he
didn't bump her and that would let
him out. What fine idea of fair
play that is, l don't Think
That woman was crossin' accordin'
to rules and regulations. She had a
right to protection. And any guy
that thinks change to green gives
him the right to turn his hound-dawg-
on-four-wheels loose too quick and let
it jump before a decent walker has
q chance to reach the curb in safety
is a low, mean, contemplate hawg
He amt even a self-respectin' hound.
