This view was protested, however,

He took the position that court de-

also attacked a provision of the uniform

adopted by several States, which pro-
vides that the owner of an airplare is
responsible for any damage 1t causes,
regardless OF who pilots the plane.
Judge Learned Hand of New YORK
said It was evident the owner OF prop

over his land was concerned, adding
these rights would have to be deter

RABBIT B A | |
GETS TABOO

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-National
League pitchers, bombarded from
pillar to post by long-distance
batsmen during the past 10 years,
heaved sigh of relief today as
a result of the abolishment of
the rabbit ball by the league at
it's mid-winter meeting here late
yesterday.
Experts estimate that adoption
of the new ball, with a heavier
cover and raised stitches, will en-
able pitchers to put so much
more stuff" on the ball that the
home run output in the senior or
ganization will be reduced by
something like 20 per cent. And
by the same token, batting aver
ages are likely to shrink from 10
to IS points. Adjustment Of the
sacrifice fly will cause further
shrinkage of from 10 to Is points.
Action of the league in adopt
ing the neI. ball for the regu-
lar playing season came as a
complete surprise. Advance in
formation was that it would
merely be tried out during the
aiming season.
Whether the American League
will follow the example of the
senior organization remained a
matter of speculation today. AL
though John B. Heydler, presi-
dent Of the National League,
pointed out that the junior Or
ganization always has followed
the example of the National in
matters of this kind, opinion was
divided.
Judge Emil Fuchs, president of
the Boston Braves. and Frank b.
York, president of the Brooklyn
club, expressed the opinion that
the American League would stick
to the old ball.

What type of young man.
hood is going to be attracted
to a college with teams like
that?
The excellence of the foot
ball and other teams is the
sugar coating we have to put
around our educational pill
these days. The system may
not be right, but it's the syS-
tenn popularity in use. Eight
per cent of the colleges are
falling back on this sugar
coating and during its use col
leges have grown and expand
ed and gained fame and for.
tune and success and general
Well-being.
The remainder OF the col
legiate athletic world will sit
back placidly and watch the
noble experiment at Pennsyl-
vania, and in isolated cases,
Pennsylvania'S costly and rad
ical example will be followed
but only in very rare cases
indeed.
why? Because it isn't the
modern attitude to take toward
sports which has become mag
nified and emphasized only in
keeping with every other thing
that has survived the ravages
of time.
The Washington times., 1931-02-04
Won't Be Followed

And because Penn's example
isn't modern it isn't going to be
widely followed, for the simple
reason that youth-which is
the spirit of collegiate life, de-
mands the last step in every
thing. Youth wouldn't be nor
NAL if it didn't demand the
modern. Such is evolution and
it applies in sports as it does IN
anything else.
Pennsylvania finds itself TAX
ing this odd tack in its sports
operation, because it has tried
everything else in order to
make sports tick. A few months
ago it asked a committee head
ed by Sol Metzger to make a re-
port on college sports, including
those at Penn.
Metzger's committee found
many evils in football particu-
larly, but said these did not ap-
ply at Penn. Metzger being a
Penn man, possibly such 1e-
port was diplomatic. Evidently
his report wasn't taken Serl-
ously by President Gates, who
finds Penn stands in need of
effective remedies and readjusI-
mentS.
Wracked and rent by factional
strife within and without the
university, Penn football in par
ticular has been ION the rocks"
for several years. The new
system putting sports under a
professor of the department of
physical education is calculated
to get it off the rocks. We
shall see if it does.

TERN HIGH NAMES FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1881 SEASON
Today's
'Sportorial
BY KIRK MILLER

In his sweeping reorganization
of sports at the University Of
Pennsylvania, President Thomas
S. Gates would give the gate
receipts the gate, as it were.
That is the gist of matters
as they stand at Penn, and no
pun intended.
Few colleges will follow Penn
sylvania's example, because fol
lowing it will mean isolation
from the major football orbit
into which so many of the
lesser colleges have been trying
to rotate.
President Gates would move
back the hands Of time and
run sports on the basis they
we're being conducted quarter
of a century ago.
No other endeavor is today
moving along on plans which
were modern or even desirable
that long ago.
The good president of the
University of Pennsylvania isn't
conducting his other college
activities on so antiquated a
basis.
His classes, his dormitorieS,
his student mess, his courses
in engineering, medicine, law,
science and physics, and up
until now, physical education,
have had to keep pace with
the times. Is he going to dip
into his curriculum and set
athletics back to a standard OF
25 years ago?
He says he is.
