FORWARD PASS, INJURIES NEW TASK
 OF RULES HEADS
OkesOn and Griffith Will Have Plenty to Do in I933-Passes Must Be LesSened
BY JACK CUDDY


 United Press Stan COrrespondcnt)
 New York. Dec 31-fUP)-Wal- ter R. Okeson. new chairman of the National Collegiate Athletic association's football rules commit tee, faces two important gridiron problems in 1893; curbing the for ward pass evil and reducing grid ion casualties.
 While Okeson and his committee wrestle with these, Major John l.. Grihith, new president of the N. C.. A. A.. will investigate widespread subsidizing of college athletes and try to reconcile college sports to depression budgets.
 These are the outstanding new year tasks which emerged with the two new officials from the associa- tion's annual two-day meeting at the Astor Hotel. Both leaders ex- pressed confidence of progress on these problems before the 1888 Chicago meeting, Dec 29 and 30.
 Okcson, one of footballs most famous field officials and treasurer cs Lehigh University, was handed his problems immediately on elec- ton to the post left vacant by E. K. Halls death. The rules commit tee, through Secretary William s. Langford, embodied in it's annual report surprise attack on the for ward pass, and warning that the game must be made safer.
 Uneven!
 It revealed that indiscriminate use of the forward throw had up- sak hal hnf nt nl o nd defense. It warned that unless nnents in 1893, the rules body would be forced to take action. Okeson will try to arrange volun- cessful, will map plans to curb tho uRfield aerial offcnse.
 The report said that while changes in the football rules had accomplished wonders in cutting down injuries, the game still was confronted with Q "disconcerting" rumber of serious and fatal in- juries.
 Major Griffith of Chicago, who will continue as commissioner of athletics for the Big Ten" Con- ference in conjunction with his new presidential job, was given the substituting problem by s. V. San- ford. president of the University of Georgia.
 Dr Sanford, in the meetings most important address, recom- mended to students on a partial basis of athletic ability. At present the association's 20-year-old rule prevents consideration of athletic ability in such grants.

New Haven, Dec 31-The New Haven Eagles will be confronted by the league-leading Boston Bruin Cubs at the New Haven Arena to- morrow night in what will mark the second invasion of the Elm City this season.

 Manager-coach Eddie Powers has discovered new power In his revived lineups after receiviEe three new recruits, Jack Keating, Eddie Convey of the New York Americans and Bill Began of the defunct Springfield Indians. He reports the team in excellent con dition after a week of strenuous drills prior to the Cub tilt and two important meetings next week.
 Such stars as Jerwa, Lane Cook, Boucher. Harnott, Buckles, saun- ders are included in the Boston lineup and will furnish plenty of trouble for the Star-spangled ag- gregation.

WILEY DEFEATS GILBERT AS GRADS
 LOSE TO CROSBY

Some plain and fancy basket shooting was on exhibition last night with Wilby teams splitting honors fo. the evening. In the Alumni meeting. first on record, Crosby graduates defeated strong Wilby array 32 to 22, but the com merciai high school tea mwon cas- fly from Gilbert of Winsted 29 to l6 in a not very interesting game.
 The graduates went at it ham mer and tongs for three periods only two points sepaarting them at the end of "A minutes of play. Crosby spurted in the final period due to some fast work by Howie Kraft and Harp Dunn, while Bill Tracy and Kern looked good on de- fense. For WiIby, Dan Britoti and Jim Tracy were the big guns. Each squad used more than ten players in the game which may be an an- nual feature, and last night drew the best part of 1000 fans.
 In the high school game, Wilby started early and was never head ed, Gilbert presented loose play ing, long shooting team of medi- ocre ability. The score was 16 to z at the half. Block, Crichton, Ri- naldi and Hallock played well with Moore the visitors best bet.

JASPERS HOPE TO
 USE QUICK KICKS

Miami. Fla, Dec With only two days left to prepare the Man haitian football squad for it's palm festival contest with the University of Miami on Jan 2, Coach Chick Meehan yesterday mapped out strategical plans for the Jaspers. Meehan apparently intends to rely to. a great extent on Clarence Gi- ards bunting and had the full- back practicing quick kicks from short formation in a two hour drill.
 A visit to the Hurricanes prac- tice field yesterday morning con yinced Meehan that an attack built around surprise kicks will aid the Jaspers in piercing the defense that Bob Zuppke and Tom McCann are preparing to stop Bill Pendergast, the Greens dangerous running back.

St. Patrick's Holy

An interesting finish was witt messed by the largest crowd of spectators ever to gather at the St Joe Drives. The featuring att traction took place when Jim naples much to the approval of was very much disapproved by Capt. Mitchell of the opposition. Moore's feat brought his mates 47 ahead. Francis Coughlin follow ing Mitchell also hit 130, thereby deadlocking the game. Anchor man Charlie Keegan cut through with the first and the second through the fans into bedlam maple flew in all directions. A lone center pin remained in posi- ton and by freak luck, two pins, one from each side hit the single on opposite sides, rocking the target. It failed to fall. Summary: Keegan missed a sphere and his club lost the game by four pins. Beat that in your league you and you and you. Proof furnished up- on request.
 Excitement prevailed in all matches. Each respective captain could be heard above the rumb- ling shouting instructions. Ted Hardy did hIs share and the Hardy's defeated Eddie IOftus and his league leadcrss in two games.

BANKING FIGHT
IN CONGRESS

Reform of the nations bank
ing system promises to become
one of the most important ques'
tions before Congress next
winter despite the fact that
specific proposals have thus far
scarcely been touched upon in
the national political campaign.
Congress and the bankers OF
the nation are divided on RENE
dial measures. The cleavage cuts
through both major parties in
Congress with the result that any
legislation likely will be of non
partisan character.
The most important proposals
thus far made to Congress are
that of Gov. Eugene Meyer, Of
the Federal Reserve Board, for
one national system of CONNER
cial banking and the Glass bill
authorizing Statewide branch
banking.
While Senator Glass CD, of
Virginia, reported his branch
banking bill, with many other
far-reaching restrictions upon
banking, for a majority of the
Banking Committee, Chairman
Norbeck CD. of South Dakota,
filed a strong minority report
against the branch system.

RAIL LIST SETS
PACE IN BOND
RETREAT
BY MONROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 G.N.S0.
An overnight accumulation of
selling orders sent the bond mar
ket down sharply today.
The heavy selling at the start
extended losses from fractions to
more than three points.
Rail Lines Hardest Hit
While the trading was broad
and the losses scattered through
virtually every section Of the
list, speculative obligations of
the railroad group were under
the greatest pressure and showed
virtually no evidence of support
on the decline.
Nickel Plate IS of 1882, which
broke more than Is points yes
terday, held unchanged in the
initial dealings today. st. Paul
IS of 1000 eased fractiona1ly,
while the SIS of 1875 sold down
2A.
illinois Central 4As of 1866
broke more than a point, the
Missouri Pacific Is of 1875
dropped 2, and the Southern
Pacific 412S of 1881 declined
3 points.
Foreign List Mixed
Industrial and utility bonds
suffered lesser losses.
The foreign list was generally
mixed, with the ArgentineS
strong. German issues were
heavy as the International 5RS
declined fractionally.

DROP IN GRAINS
CONTINUES

CHICAGO, Sept. 13 GN.SJ.
A continuation of yesterdays
liquidation was in evidence in
grains during forenoon dealings.
Values were "a to 1Ac down at
the outset. Moderate support ap-
peared on the dip and values
managed to recover somewhat,
ruling 1s to Sec down near noon.
Corn was 3s to 1ac off, oats
and rye 1s to 12c down. Sep
tember and December corn de-
liveries scored new lows on the
crop.
Trade continued quiet in the
pits. The weakness in stocks
and commodities and easier
cables were depressing influ-
ences here. September and De-
cember corn deliveries recorded
new lows on the crop.
Liverpool wheat was 12s to
134c down and Winnipeg about
1c lower early.
Canadian weather remained
clear except for scattered show
ers in Manitoba and country
movements again were reported
large.
The Canadian wheat move
ment appears to be the only
purely grain market factor both
here and abroad.
Estimated carlot receipts here
were: Wheat 20, corn 212 and
oats 26.
