tradition that demands victory. v. P. I. S

for a great effort to halt University of

The battle is to be the major foot
ball Offering of the year IN Blacksburg
and the final appearance OF. the Cob

When Techs eleven faces the Old Line
team it will be fighting to uphold an
impressive home coming record here
and to avenge continuous defeats
handed Old Dominion teams by Mary

A. A. j IS PLANNING
CHANGES IN RULES
Elimination of TWo-MiIe Run
Indoors, Standing Jumps
Among New Ideas.
YEw YORK. October IS. = More

n YEW YORK, October rs. - More
M than 100 amendments affect
ing the constitution, bylaws
and athletic rules Of the
Amateur Athletic Union Of the United
States, which will come up for consid-
Grafton at the A. A. U. convention In
Kansas City, November Is, 16, II, are
contained in the report of the Legisla-
ton Committee, mailed yesterday to
the 400 delegates of the organization.
Though many of the proposed changes
are of minor importance, several call
for radical departure from the present
rules. One proposal is to change the
date of the annual convention from
November to July, scheduling the ses-
sion for the same city and Immediately
following the National A. A. y. track
and field championships. Another pro-
posed change would eliminate the
standing broad and standing high
jumps and two-mile run from the ma
tional championship indoor program,
substituting one-mile and three-mile
races and the running broad jump.
Another proposed change, called rev.
dictionary, would permit man SWIM
mers to compete in tights and women
swimmers to compete in one-piece suits.
The idea is to produce faster times in
races. The camp counselor, according
to another ruling, would be placed in
the same class with hfeguards, bath
and playground attendants, and athletes
engaged in these occupations would be
ineligible for 80 days after they aban-
don this work
A change in the timing rules would
require timekeepers to have their
watches certified within three days
after record performances which they
clock. Many other changes affect
swimming. handball, water polo and
wrestling rules.

EASTERN REMAINS
IN FOOT BALL RACE
Defeats Business, 13 to 6.
Flynn of Losing Eleven
Is Star of Game.

- ASTERN'S inexperienced yet
H scrappy foot bali team today
was still in the pubic high
schcol title race, following its
1916 win yesterday over E2siness. The
Lincoln Parkers now have won enc
game and lost one. Business has two
defeats against it to no victories and
is resting on the bottom of the heap
Had Business had another Larry
Flynn or so 1t is doubtful whether
Eastern would have been able to con-
quer the Stenogs yesterday. From the
time this burly boy entered the game
at left halfback. In the second period,
the stenogs held the whip hand.
Flynn smashed his way to the lone
Business touchdown In the final quar-
ter, its first, incidentally, in public high
play since 1928, and headed drive
shortly afterward that carried to the
Eastern S-yard line before the Lincoln
Parkers recovered Stenog tumble and
kicked out Of danger.
Seldom does a player come so near
being the whole team as did Flynn.
Almost every time he was called upon
to take the ball--and he was called
upon-until he was rseling from ex-
hustion--he battered his way through
the none too formidable Eastern line.
There are those who think that had
Flynn been started Business today
might be boaSting its first win In the
series since 1927 when the Stenogs
overcame Western, 6 to 0.
Eastern scored its first touchdown In
the opening quarter. Bus Boyd plunged
over from the 4-yard mark after a
S0-yard run by Tony Palmer. Eastern
had recovered a. Business tumble prior
to Palmer's dash. Charles Mades'
placement for the extra point failed
In the second quarter the Lincoln
Parkers added their other touchdown
when Boyd shot pass to Zip Adams
good for 90 yards and the tally. Mades
booted the placement for point this
time. Boyd intercepted Business pass
and ran 20 yards to put the bali in
position for the producing touch
down.

Striving to keep his Wildcats from

was making changes at guard, tackle
