DECLINE OF NIGHT CLUBS
STRANGE TRIUMPH
OF PROHIBITION
By GILBERT SEH.DES-


The disappearance of those helhoes known as night
clubs is of the triumphs of prohibition, yet not
exactly in the way prohbitioniss expected Among the
competing attractions, has been powerful as
the speakeasy which, by now, offers fairly complete
cabaret and two square feet of dancing space to it's
patrons. I dislike speakeases with entertainers, and
like night clubs; another black mark goes down
against the Anti-Saloon League.
Totally un-American
The night club was, I fear, a purely American
institution and there those who protested against
its alien spirit there are Frenchmen who deplore
the cocktail bar in Paris today It's great value was
in fact that it denied two of the duler assump-
tons of American life, beginning with the faacy of
going early to bed and ending with the monstrous idea
that after you have worked you ought not to play-n
order to keep yourself fit for more work tomorrow
The New England farmer used to dance in a barn. but
the New York broker not permitted to dance unless
his wife was taking his daughter to party The cabaret
and the night club introduced sotness and pleasant
ness into urban life.
In Bad Hands
The night club fell into the hands of racketeers fell
into the hands of professionals who put on shows it
wavered between the speaeasy and the restaurant and
it went to pieces Last three types survived the

tertainment lasting about hour the highly personal

supercious looks, maintain that it is amusing It is
certainly unpretentous and certainly superior the mix
ure of vugary and the dull wisecracks of effemnates
which threatened to become the typical night club of
New York year ago.
A New York Oasis ...
The real thing the true pleasure of the night club still
exists at Ell Patio which have mentioned before because
the music of Emil Coleman seemed to me worthy of
wreath of laurel and bay Ell Patio is not harious it

and if they much the better for the upper class
because they are supporting a good thing when they
might be wasting their time at home It is pleasant to
know that spot at least resist prohibition not
by being speakeasy but by being better than speak

Northwestern FIVE
NEAR BIG TEN TITLE
Scores Sixth Win in Row When It
Meets Minnesota With
Race Half Over.

CHICAGO, February 10.-Western
Conference basket ball had reached the
halfway point today, and Northwestern,
co-holder with Michigan of the 1880
foot ball title, was on top; almost be-
yond reach of the pack.
The Wildcats last night thrust back
the challenge of Minnesota, whipping
the Gophers, 50 to 26s at Evanston.
The triumph gave Northwestern six
straight victories, and dropped Minnie
sofa from undisputed possession of Sec
ond place, to tie with Indiana.
Indiana did its part by walloping Iowa,
81 to Is, at Bloomington.
Minnesota, the first team to match
Northwestern in size, led by four points
at halftime, but couldn't stand the pace
and dropped back rapidly. Indiana
had no trouble with Iowa, winning all
the way.
Wisconsin, with an almost entirely
reorganized five, smothered Washington
University Of st. Louis, 80 to 8, at Mad
ison. With co-Captains Ted Chmie-
lewsh and Johnny Paul lost by grad
uation, and Griswold and Tornowski
out with injuries and illness, the
Badgers still were able to score as they
pleased.
Purdue tonight has a chance to hop
from fifth place to third, by defeating
Illinois at Champaign. The Boiler
makers easily won their first engage
ment, and appear capable of giving the
victoryless Illtni another beating.

SHIFT IS NO ISSUE,
SAYS GRID EXPERT
Zuppke Declares Rule Now
Satisfactory and Sees
No Change Likely.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~ HAMPAIGN, ILL.,, February TO-
The shift will not be an issue
and there will be no radical
alteration of foot ball rules,
was the belief of Coach Bob zuppke of
the University of Illinois as he headed
for Absecon, N. j., today to attend the
annual meeting of the Rules Committee.
Coaches feel generally that the pres
ent rule satisfactorily governs the shift"
Zuppke, who is a member of the ADJ
visory Committee, said, land most Of
them think the rules should be left
alone.
"I believe the General Committee
shares this feeling. 1t is likely that
whatever changes are made will be in
the nature of clarifying present rules.
THE Committee on Rules of the
Coaches Association based its report to
the annual meeting on a QUESTIONABLE
sent to coaches generally.
"One hundred and eighty-two favored
retention of the point after touchdown,
while 80 favored abandoning it. More
than 200 coaches favored removing the
power OF officials to award or take away
q point after touchdown for infraction
Of rules, and that the penalty provided
should be enforced. A large majority
also thinks the offensive team should
have the privilege of running with re-
covered ball"
The other two members of the Ad-
viSory Committee are DR.. Jock Suther-
land of the University of Pittsburgh and
Dan McGugin of Vanderbilt.

CAROLINA UNCOVERS
ANOTHER DASH STAR
Has Weisker, Who Runs 100 Under
10 Seconds, to Work With
Farmer on Track.
BY the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, Ca, February 1O.-North
Cardinals Southern Conference cham
pion track squad has another crack
sophomore sprinter to set on the trail
Of the veteran Dixie spsedsters this
year. He's Alex Weisker, who steps on
the century in less than 10 seconds.
In 1880 the Carolinians presented q
polished and smooth dash man in the
sophomore, Charlie Farmer, and this
year Farmer will have Weisker as his
running mate.
Farmer carried the TarheeI colors
to victory in the conference 220-yard
dash last year, but the muddy track
was too much for him in the century
and he trailed Ed Hamm of Georgia
Tech and Smith of Alabama
Farmer now is in training for track,
but WeiSker is spending his time in
Spring foot ball activities, but he'll be
out when the tracksters get down to
earnest work.
Smith of Alabama, who surprised
the crowds gathered at the Birming-
ham 1880 meet by slipping ahead of
Farmer to place second to Hamm in
the century, also win be back to chair
lenge again.
Smith also placed third In the 200,
with 'Shipwreck" Kelly of Kentucky
in second position. Kelly also will fol-
low the cinder paths this season.
For several years Hamm was a one
man track team at Georgia Tech. Now
that he has finished his college career
and Is coaching for his alma mater,
he is grooming Doug Graydon, another
Arkansas traveller, to I'LL his shoes.
Although not as versatile as Hamm,
Graydon is a valuable all-round ath-
lete. He throws the javelin, broad
jumps and steps OF the sprints.

MOUTH BEND, Ind, February
10.-Much comment on Penns
recent action, both favorable
and unfavorable, has been
heard. but little of it has anything
to do with Notre Danes relations
with Penn.
rne consensus In the Athletic As
ISOLATION is that the reform at Penn
viii make absolutely no difference in
the amount of interest in the game
or in the game itself. The convic-
ton Is expressed that the players Of
both teams will be out to win as II
nothing had happened.
Due to the large score Notre Dame
made against Penn last year, 1920,
every one is eager to see what Penn
viii do in the way Of comeback.
No resentment at all Is shown at
PENIS action.
such student opinions as have
been expressed indicate an even
greater interest in this years game
because of the curiosity concerning
the effect Of the new policy on the
Penn team.
While the game is not expected to
pack the stadium, or draw anything
like the 10000 crowd which sew last
years contest, this may be lad to
the fact that South Bend is not a
big city. and that Chicago fans are
more interested, naturally, in the
Northwestern game at Soldier Field
and the Southern California game az
South Bend.

The reforms Penn has made at

A certain element on the campus

majority to be the ideal solution for

LOUISVILLE, KY, February 10.-An-
nouncement by DR.. Raymond Kent,
president Of the University Of Louis
vile, that the schools annual budget for
athletics had been reduced from $500
TO $1,000, left the future of athletics at
the institution In doubt today.
President Kent said 9 plan had been
tentatively adopted that would enable
the school to continue foot ball. How
ever, Tom King, athletic director, said
the reduction probably would result In
all sports being abandoned but intra-
mural athletics. The athletic council
will meet in the near future to discuss
the reduction. ''.,.''. N
DR.. Kent said the reduction was nee
eSSary SO that the money could be ap-
piled to the Law School, which he said
would lose its accredited standing in the

BANKS AND injury
| HANDICAP KELLER
Battling Track Turns and
Bruised Foot Mar French
Runners U. S. Debut.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
N 7 EWARK, N. j., February TO-
M The American debut of Paul
Keller, French 8OO-meter cham
pion, has proved no more of a
success than that Of his compatriot,
Seraphin Martin, world record holder
at the same distance.
Keller, with no previous experience
in running indoors or on an unbanked
track, finished no better than fourth in
a special 1,O00-yaJds event in the
Seton Hall COLLEGE games here last
night.
Lacking knowledge Of how to handle
himself on the turns. where he was
badly jostled and handicapped, in adj
dition by an injury to his right foot,
the Frenchman never was a contender
in the race which Phil Edwards, flying
Negro star from Hamilton, Ontario,
won in the fast time of 2:179-10. Frank
Nordell New York University fresh
man, was second and Charlie Thomp-
son Of New York, third.
Loses Nail of Big Toe.
In an early jam the nail on the big
toe of Keller's right foot was ripped OF,
and the Frenchman was limping badly
at the finish. The injury was painful,
but not serious, and Keller will go
through with the balance Of his en-
gagementS in this country.
The 1,000-yard special was the high
light of the meet, but there were sew
eral other events of more than ordinary
interest. Bill Bruder, Newark A. G.
dash man, conquered Ira Singer, New
York University, and Leigh Miller of
Canada in all three races of the sprint
series: Bernie McCafferty, Holy Cross
quarter 5miler, ran the Waldron 600
yards in TIA 4-10 to beat Eddie Roll,
Newark A. c. and avenge a victory the
Newark speedster scored over him last
year in the same event.
Moore Wins Again.
Gus Moore Of the Brooklyn Harriers,
turned in his sixth consecutive triumph
Of the season in the 2-mile handicap
In which Leo Lermond, Boston A. A.
distance ace, could finish no better than
fourth.
The next big track meet Of the East
ern season will be the Meadowbrook
Club games at Philadelphia Thursday
night. Martin, who finished third in
an invitation half mile at the Millrose
games here Saturday night, will run in
a special 660-yard event.
KeIler's next engagement is in the
mile or the II 900 yards of the Boston
A. A. games at Boston Saturday night.

In the same way Edward Leader,
the rowing coach, took q postgrad-

With O'Connor taking the back
field and Adam Walsh still in as

though the Yale attack next Fall

man can teach forward passing as
an art, in the strategy and execu-

All in all, Yale may be expected

passes to and / is covered so he
cannot .dribble to the basket, a new
condition comes up, different sit

Purdue handles it.
No. has passed to and ! is COW

straight for the basket as soon as
he delivers the ball. Thus, If No. is
guarded by his opponent so No.
cannot dribble to the basket, he
knows what To do. In a flash he re-
turns the ball TO 8, leading so that
8 takes 1t on the dead run, Is able to
dribble and shoot from right, under
