FLESTER
To HANDLE
FRENCHA.C.
By SID KATZNELL

What has happened to Bill
Flester, Washington's premier
sports promoter? Many fans are
asking this question.
Flester for years has been
affiliated with various athletic
teams in this city. He was the
organizer of the Independent
Basketball League last year which
enjoyed unusual success. This
season found Bill so wrapped In
business that he was unable to
take active interest in the sport
ing world.
With the basketball season
gradually fading away, Flester
has secured enough time to take
charge of the French A. c., for
merly the Columbia Fire Depart
ment tossers. Last week under
the banners of Columbia Firemen
the team was nosed-out by the
champion Skinker Eagles, 26 to 20.
Incidentally, the Eagles I'VE
has been the only team locally
which has been able to subdue
the Frenchmen in the past three
years. The French A. G. Is
entered in the round-robin series,
which includes the Eagles,
Howitzer Giants, and the Vic
Sport Shop!
The new handler of the French
A, c. has high hopes of winning
the series, as he has strengthened
the aggregation no little by add
ing Colliflower, husky guard, who
has a keen eye for the basket
and is a fine floor man. The
rest of the squad is comprised OF
Travers, Cronin, Ginsmer, CabeL.
Zimmerman, and Brenner.

The Washington times., 1932-02-19

This was the substance of a
Joint answer screeched aloud by
various members of the football
rules committee, coaches and
managers when a group of sports
reporters last December suggested
that perhaps there was a sub
stratum of truth in the charge
that college grid players were
taught the rabbit punch.
Now comes the rules committee
to tell us that the reason for the
new rule forbidding the striking
by a defensive player of his oppo-
nent on the head or face by the
hand, wrist, forearm or elbow, is
to eliminate the rabbit punch
from football.
Writes in Dark
AS a result of this announced
reason, the sports writer's are a bit
muddled. They accepted the De.
cember answer OF various mem
bers Of the rules committee as gos.
pei truth. They still accept it
as gospel truth.
Therefore, it appears the rules
committee has legislated against
something which does not exist,
and never has existed, in college
football. The rules committees
action is on a par with Congress
passing a law forbidding profes-
sors of Greek to referee profes-
sional prize fights staged within
within 100 yards of the White
House, Capitol or any church or
Schoolhouse in the District of
Columbia.
Messrs. Hall and Langford,
chairman and secretary, respec.
lively, of the rules committee.
emphasize the fact CD that
misunderstanding has caused
many objections to the recent
ruling"
Blow to Defense
In other words, members of
the rules committee and those
who unquestioningly agree with
them are the chosen-elect of the
football god, while dissenters are
either dumb or hereticS and can
not possibly enter football Heaven.
If a member of the War Re-
sisters International happens to
referee one of our college games
next fall. and catches one of the
defensive team gently placing
hands on his opponent, the de-
fensive player will be sent to the
sidelines and subsequently to any
Army which happens to be
engaged in a war at the moment.
