covering the ball from the defensive

DR.. Walter Meanwell Of Wisconsin
long has advocated the one bounce
dribble rule in the back court as an
encouragement to the defensive player
to go out after the ball.
I would not be surprised to see this
suggestion incorporated in the rules
next year. The 10-second rule still
would be. operative
There is no reason why the admin
istration of the game by officials should
be much more difficult this year than
last. We have had for years the S.
second rule on out-of-bounds and the
10-second rule allowed a free thrower
after a foul. All are just matter of
counting.
THIEF among the dissenters over the
~ rule changes are DR.. James Mai

George Keogan, Notre Dame; Ward

7 AWRENCE. Kans. without
/ doubt, the new rules have pro-
/ duced faster basket ball. Having
observed several games in which
the so-callei 10-second" and "3-sec-
ond" edicts were enforced, I predict
that many coaches will be forced to
revamp their offensive play Of former
years.
BY requiring the offensive team to ad-
vance across the center court line in
10 seconds, critics Of the new rule con-
tend that the congestion is too great
for systematic play, that only one-half
Of the court is actually used at a time,
and that the interpretations make the
administration of the game too difficult
Answering these criticisms, it is well
to remember that the 10-second rule
had the unanimous Endorsement Of the
National Association of Basket Ball
Coaches in Chicago last Spring. The
Joint National Basket Ball Rules Com
mittee, in passing this legislation in
New York last April, gave careful con-
Sideration to the coaches opinions.
THERE still is plenty of room for set
i plays to be properly executed in
the offensive half, but the timing
and synchronization must of necessity
be a little finer, due to the smaller area
in which to oDerate. However, the bali
handling will be much more clever.

nj astronomical feat Of Babe Ruth
in devouring more than a dozen

BdCtlOuUlNlCdl lcHI Oh 6dOc HutIl
Y in devouring more than a dozen
hot dogs at one session is a
thing Of the past. The Babe established
himself on q two-meal-a-day schedule
as he started in his Winter training
routine yesterday at Artie McGovern's
gymnasium.
The Yankee star reported to Nc
Govern at the lowest weight he has
ever carried at this time Of the year,
229 pounds, in recent years, and his
nervous system was equally good
entirely relaxed and at ease. Proper
diet and home cooking are the con-
tributing causes, as Ruth adheres rigidly
to a regime that McGovern and Mrs.
Ruth have planned for him.
No longer does the Babe eat when
ever the spirit moves him. He has
breakfast and dinner, but never luncheon
or supper. Although he starts the day
by partaking of the juice Of six oranges,
the Babe confines himself to 5000
calorieS day.
LIE sleeps at least nine hours and
i / even steals an hours nap on occa-
sions when he is On the rubbing
table If the masseurs note that the
Babe feels inclined to stay on the table,
they cover him over with huge towel
and let him rest.
Ruth loses five or six pounds during
each workout Most of this is due to
perspiring. Ruth promptly drinks the
major part of it back, since he con-
sumes close to a gallon Of water each
day But some surplus weight is lost
in each drill and that generally stays
off.
McGovern starts the star each day
with setting-up exercises. sends him
between 5 and 10 miles a day on the
bicycle machine and then either has
him box about rounds or play
modified form of squash hand ball.
This latter game not only is good for
general conditioning but also tunes UP
the Babes batting eye.
Although outweighed by nearly 100
pounds, McGovern is usually Ruth's
sparring mate. Yesterday, however,
Ruth stepped few rounds with John
F. Gilchrist, former transit head and
boxer of note in his younger days.

F[0UTS IGNORANCE
OF AMATEUR CODE
"A. A. U. Chief Hints Greeks
Were Right In Barring
Women From Games.
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO, December "a
Maybe the Greeks were
~ right after all, Avery
Brundage, national presi-
dent of the Amateur Athletic
Union, sighed today as he read
the latest episode of the Mildred
Babe" Didrikson case.
You know, the ancient Greeks kept
women out Of their athletic games" he
recalled "They wouldn't even let them
on the sidelines I'm not so sure but
they were right"
With that he sailed in to defend the
A. A. U. and its rules of amateurism
which have been bombarded heavily
since Miss Didrikson was suspended on
a charge of professionalism and then
reinstated.
I'm tired Of all these charges that
the A. A. U. rules were too ambiguous
President Brundage said. The entire
situation is covered in rule five in two
and half pages. which set up the
whole amateur definition and rules OF
disbarment. Miss Didrikson knew all

athlete Endorsed bats, skates or
similar articles. Later some OF cur star
swimmers started indorsing certain
brand Of cigarettes and the rule was
modified to provide that no product OF
any kind could be Endorsed.
THE whole story of the Didrikson
case has not been told. I regret to say
that she is girl who delights to see
her name in the papers, and she Is at
tempting to capitalize on her present
publicity. She has been badly advised"
Miss Didrikson, the one woman track
team of Olympic fame. who was sup
posed to have arrived in Chicago from
st. Louis yesterday, was among the
missing today. She failed to arrive in
Chicago-at least the reporters and
photographers failed to find her-and
she was reported today to be 'on her

she has become camera shy, and when
she did consent to be photographed, she
made careful survey that the surround

While in st. Louis Miss Didrikson
said she read the rule book of the
A. A. U. for the first time after her
disbarment and was amazed Ito dis

vintage of 1882, demanded full value
for his money and scanned extravagant
claims with critical eye He still was
eager for amusement but he demanded
better quality and cheaper rates.
This turn toward a little discrimina-
tion on the part Of those who pay the
freight was the outstanding develop
ment Of the year in the opinion of many
OF the countrys sports experts. who
contributed to the 1882 Associated Press
poll.
It was reflected, many observers
pointed out. in general scaling down

professional and amateur sports, to
give the public what it wanted
In a general way, the experts called
attention to 10 specific trends in sports
during the year:
l. Better sport shows" meeting
the demands Of more discriminating
fans.
2. General economy in operations
and reduced ticket prices.
3. Rules legislation to safeguard
or improve foot ball and basket ball.
4. De-emphasis of college foot
ball with the accent on team play.
5. Decline Of minor league base
ball.
6. Greater individual participa-

up OF stars selected from outstanding
players who had not made the mythical

Since that has never been done, and
probably won't be, the nearest thing to
a game between synthetic college all
