RITES ARE HELD
FOR BELASCO

NEW YORK. May 1S U.S0.
David Belasco went on the road
today-out on the long tour, and
alone.
Yet. truly, it seemed like a
Belasco first night, with masses
OF flowers, sheafs of kilograms and
the throngs of notables from every
plane of life.
Of course you missed the ap
plause at the Central synagogue.
where the services were held.
Even so, there we're intervals Of
intense silence as at every Belasco
premiere.
And when finally Mayor Walker,
Lee Shubert, Daniel Frohman,
William Morris, George M. Cohan
Frank Gilmore, Mitchell Er
langer, Henry Bernstein and
others walked slowly out of the
synagogue, the crowd followed
wonderingly.
But BelaSco did not come out
to take his last bow. Instead, a
squad of motorcycle police swung
ahead, clearing a path to Linden
Hills. When the throng had with
drawn. Rabbi Jonah B. Wise mur.
INJURED Godspeed, and a bugler
who had played at Belasco pro
dUctions sounded "taps."

T%IME and again, this season, the
receiver Of foot ball kickoff
has run practically the length
Of the field. Lou Little says
there Is a reason for 1t. and 1t seems
as if the Columbia coach was correct
Just as the introduction Of the lively
base ball made home runs as common
as noodles in soup, so kicking of from
a heelmark, rather than a tee, has
affected foot ball. That's his theory.
You get practically no high kicks
now. Almost all are fast and low, nat
kicks. The coaches have figured out
that this gives team chance to form
what practically is a flying wedge, be-
fore the tacklers of the kicking team
can get down the field.
When a tee was used, the ball fire.
quently was kicked over the goal line
and had to be returned and kicked
again. This slowed up the game, What
of it? Is college foot ball a game for
the boys who play it, or a gladiatorial
combat for the crowds in the stands?
Any graduate or fan who pays 81 to
see ccllegs foot ball game is entitled
to four dollars worth of space in the
stand and four dollars worth of cour-
tesy, but he is not entitled to one inch
of the field of play. In the space In
closed by the white lines, the spectator
doesn't count. He has no rights there

A. A. U. CHIEF WOULD
CHANGE TRACK DATE
Brundage Says Intercollegiate
and Olympic Trials Are Too
Close Together.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 26.-
Voicing the opinion that the 1882 in
tercollegiate A. A. A. A. track and field
meet and the American Olympic trials
were scheduled for dates too close to-
gether, Avery Brundage, president OF
the Amateur Athletic Union, said he
would recommend a change in date OF
the collegiate championship.
The I. G. A. A. A. A. meet is sched-
uled for Berkeley next July 8-9, and
the Olympic trials for Stanford Uni
versity Stadium July 1916. Such
short lapse of time, Brundage believes,
would work to the disadvantage of those
athletes competing in the collegiate
event who also will try out for the
Olympic team.
While Brundage has no connection
with the I. c. A. A. A. A., he said he
would telegraph officials in charge in
an effort to have the date Of the meet
moved up to the latter part OF June.
