THE SPORTLICHT
BY CRANTLAND RICE

Lcyinskys comment on his Max Baer
party. Among other things, the ability
to take it is also the shortest path Ill
the general direction Of cutting out
paper dolls. Even in the gentle art OF
pugilism it is better to give than to
receive.
There is one point that can be Of
fered about RetzlafI-when he hits
them no interpreter is needed to trans
late the meaning,
A correspondent says he has heard
on the best authority that Harvard,
Yale and Princeton within three years
will be playing only three foot ball
games each a year.
This report has been under way for
some time and there Is no doubt that
considerable thought has been expended
along this line. But so far no definite
action has been taken. The idea is to
have intramural games scheduled up
to November and then play brief
intercollegiate schedule with old rivals.
It might be remembered in this con-
nection that Harvard, for one example,
is already pretty well scheduled through
1885. 1t might also be remembered
that no one yet has figured out way
10 gSJ enough gaze 4tSeIpIS OuG Va ll1 &C
games to pay for full athletic pro-
gram.
And no one is sure yet that any keen
interest in interamural foot ball can be
developed if the intercollegiate program
is cut down to that extent. There is
more than one large problem in the
way before any such drastic change
can be showed through. 1t isn't nearly
as simple as it sounds.

Basket Coach Hits Legality
OF Blocking Plays Favored
By Teams Using Light Men

contact enSueS, foul should be called.
All blocks are fouls.
Some screens" may terminate in
blocking Screening is legal up to the
point of blocking. In game last year
where two outstanding Eastern oppo-
nents participated 81 fouls were called
for blocking or picking-off.
In the East basket ball has followed
the professional style, with fewer plays
but always with set play preceding
the pick-off or block.
The blocking style of play has slowed
the game up perceptibly, has taken
much color from it, with the result that
crowds have become proportionately
smaller where blocking is used as a
system.
The STALL another method Of play
which lessons action and interest to
the spectators, is Immediately used by
blocking team upon gaining q small
advantage in the score.
Doing away with blocks and develop
ing the passing type Of play would in
crease the interest in the game, and,
consequently, increase the attendance.
OUT West, blocking is less prevalent
~ and not so artfully done. Bigger
men are used and the ball Is
passed with the desire to work the de-
fense out Of position more by manipu
lating the ball than by blocking the
men. The crowds are much larger and
the interest more keen.
Many officials fail to detect blocking
plays now used by the coaches, think
ing the blocks are inadvertent bump
ingS Of an awkward or overanxious
player.
So long as block plays are used, little
men will be at premium. Big men
cannot stand the running necessary N
the proper execution Of this strenuous
type of play.

feels awkward on floor. He likes
bridge, but doesn't play much because
he can't find partners to go with his
game. His friends either are too good
or not good enough.
He is willing to admit that luck, per

him to the top of the American tennis
world last Summer, but he wants 1t

good fortune doesn't account for the
tact that he Is good student

job after school hours, was keeping up
his tennis and trying to make basket
ball practice regularly.
AS far back as Vines can remember,
finances have been his chief worry.
He has been offered large sums to turn
professional and he could use the
money. But he is determined to re-
main an amateur and play as such. He
is coming back to U. S. c. again next
Fall to resume his business courses.
Right now he thinks travel will teach
him more than his lessons.
Vines lives in constant fear that
some one will consider him high hat"
He will talk to any one, listen to long
instructive monologueS from persons
who have never had a racquet in their
hands, and he often plays with slight
acquaintance who can scarcely get

R0EBUCK, LEWIS FACE
IN MAT BATTLE HERE
Tuner Matches Big Wrestlers for
Feature Match of Show
Next Thursday. ?

Tiny Roebuck. an improved wrestler
since his last appearance here, accord
ing to Promoter Joe Turner, has been
signed to meet Stranger Lewis, former
world heavyweight wrestling champion,
in the feature of the next Washington
Auditorium wrestling show to be staged
a week from today.
ROebuck, 274pound Indian. has been
receiving his pay check in the vicinity
of New YORK this Winter and has
spilled such matmen as Gino Garibaldi
and Renato Gardini in his last ap-
pearances.
Lewis, who recently joined the
Londos- -championed faction, still Is one
of the greatest mat drawing cards
Unless it Is Londos, no other mailman
packs the color of the famous Stranger,
whose headlocks have carried him to
the top at least four times
Lewis will not be greatly outweighed
by Roebuck. The eX-champ is carry
ing around 235 pounds. He carries an
extra size breadbasket today, but
Stranger never was famous for Londos-
like streamlines.
Turner promises the most colorful
array of natmen of the indoor season.
In addition TO Lewis and Roebuck. he
has signed Fritz Kley. the wrestler
contortioni5t who brought down the
house last week by his ability to souirm
out of any hold Cy Williams chose to
get. He spilled Williams in 51z
minutes.
An opponent for Kley will be an

BY FORREST c. ALLEN.

Kansas University Basket Ball Coach.
~ R. MEANWELL at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin has re-
1 J turned to the use of larger
men after an unsuccessful ex-
neriment in building basket ball team
around small fellows. A good big man
is generally better than a good, little
man. But is he in basket ball? Yes,
and no.
For tip-off plays and basket rebound
work the big, tall man excels. He also
is better on the zone defense, but in the
man-to-nlan style and in block or pick
off plays the little man is better.
Formerly we heard much on the legal
block. There isn't such thing. AT
the last meeting in New York Of the
National Basket Ball Coaches ASSocia-
ton and the Joint Basket Ball Rules
Committee both bodies declared that
all blocks or pick-Offs are fouls.
We should not lose sight of the rul-
ing and the interpretations of the rules
as they now stand, you shall play the
ball and not the man" The blocking
player is playing the man and not the
bali. So long as coaches teach style
of play clearly against the rules the
game will pay the penalty.
A NEW TERM, screening" was ap-
n piled by the rules committee to
play in which the screening play
er passed between the offensive and de-
fensive man much after the fashion
of the pitcher, running across the path
of the base runner, going down to first
base. Even in screening no body con-
tact or body checking is permitted. If

- Ellsworth Vines, jr., is the Ma

probably the greatest court pros
pect since William IT. Tilden appeared,
but he worries more over the formula
for sinking long puts than he does
about scoring service aces.
He marvels at the golfing ability of

his mark in business as well as tennis.
Vines is going to concentrate on golf
with this end in view.
Last Summer this lean, lanky youth
of 20 won more tennis titles than any
other player ever before gathered in a
single season. But to see him draped
over the books of a stock and BOND

the ability that has stamped him the
country's leading Davis Cup team hope.
WINES likes tennis, but the social

SHOEMAKER TO HIS
LAST, RUTH'S VIEW
Is "Nutty" Over Golf, but Not
So Sure He'd Be a Sue
cess as Pro.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

A T a recenC press conference
" with the great batsman,
II Babe Ruth was asked
whether he had any idea
of going in for golf in a serious
way, either as a sideline or as an
aftermath to his base ball career.
well, I'll tell you, I'm nutty
about this game" the Babe re-
sponded, "but I don't know that I
want to get up there and make a
fool out of myself.
MY game is base ball and always
has been and I've never kidded myself
about anything else no matter how
good I thought I might be"
1t was suggested Ruth might pick up
considerable money giving golf exhibit
tions about the country Folks would
like to see him give the little white pei
let long, long ride.
Yeah, but I might get The horse
laugh, too, when I put one o them
slices O. mine on the ball.
ruth Is a golf addict all Winter long,
X whether he is North or South. It's
the one season when he can con-
centrate on this sport without being
bothered by other responsibilities.
During the base ball season it is sell
dom that Ruth even has an opportunity
to play. 1t would be fatal to him to
attempt to play golf in the morning
and base ball in the afternoon, es-
pecially during the hot weather.
Dol,
ever, this Winter has found him trudg-
ing over various portions of the metro
politan landscape, whacking the balloon
ball with prodigious sWipeS. Early in
the Winter he shot 73 at st. Adams,
Long Island, but he has not been under
30 since
The best Ruth has ever done is II
at the Jungle Club course, st. Peters
burg, Fla. That's where he makes his
headquarters annually before and during
the training campaign Of the Yankees.
THE Babe do doesn't ,;.. see e.,,st,,s how the the
American League pennant this
year from the Athletics. He bases this
belief on the steady improvement and
better pitching prospects of the New
York club, plus the opinion that the
AS are getting no better and perhaps
will skid down little.
Grove and Earnshaw are still a
pretty good pair of pitchers, but birds
like Miller and Dykes are slowing up
some They are due to be knocked off"
Ruth omitted to mention that he is
half year older than Miller and two and
a half years older than Dykes, but may
be the Babe has younger ideas, at that.
"Our club should have lot better
pitching" Ruth continued. This
Gomez is a great lefthander. Rhodes
looks like he is ready to come through.
Pipgras and Ruffing should have better
seasons.
II like young Crosetti, the infielder
coming up from the coast league. He
has a great arm. He has bad habit
of not hustling after the ball when he
bobbles one, but he will get over that
and make real star"
