ARMS EMBARGO IS BROUGHT UP,
 FAR EAST CASE
British Cabinet Says Na- ton Cannot Act lnde-

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Revival of fighting in the Far East was re- flected here yesterday when the British Cabinet decided that Great Britain could not act independently for an effective arms embargo in that area.
 The British Cabinet members said France, Italy, and Great Bri- tain could apply an embargo by the simple process of refusing h- censes to export arms but the pro- cedure of some other arms produc- ing countries, including the United States, would not be so simple.

Veteran Interior Mining 2 Man Denounces Fake
 Promoters Tn Seattle

Declaring that fake schemes in- 1 yolving Alaskan resources attempt cd to be promoted on a widespread scale at the present time are ma- terially injuring opportunities for legitimate investment, Harry Ow- ems, veteran mining man of the Interior, today suggested to the Chamber of Commerce that a clearing house be established where illegitimate promotions could be ex- posed. Seattle, he declared, is overrun with wild promo tii n schemes based on Alaska miner als, fisheries and other resources.
 Persons without knowledge of the Territory are easily deceived and defuded into investing in pro- jects of no worth whatever, MT. Owens declared. He believed the Territory would benefit largely if these activities could be kept down to an absolute minimum.
 Chamber Will Study Subject
 The Chamber directed the Exc cutive Committee to investigate the subject and see if any action could be taken here to remedy the situation. The Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce, it was pointed out, func- tions to some extent in this con- nection, but probably lacks defin- ite and authoritative data to do the entire job.
 MT. Owens has mined in the in- terior as far north as the Koyukuk region for many years. He has been one of the superintendents of the Fairbanks Exploration com pany for some time, and is in charge of hydraulic camp.
 Seeks Inter-Z0ne Rate
 The need for an inter-zone par eel post rate in Alaska was de- picted by Representative-elect Joe Green Hyder, who pointed out that it was possible to send a pack age by parcel post from Miami Fla, to Nome as cheaply as from Juneau to Douglas.
 Past requests for lesser rates in the Territory, he said, have been met with replies from Postal au- thorities that under existing high rates the Alaskan parcel post bus iness has been handled by the Government at a loss. However, he contended, the Postoffice De- 1 partment has always failed to credit Alaska with the inbound parcel post shipments, creditine the offices of origin, like Seattle Portland and others. This is not the proper setup, he added, as AL askans almost universally pay the charges at the point of origin. Seek Territorial Funds
 There is little hope that the Chambers of Commerce of the Territory can furnish funds for the proposed all-Alaska exhibit at the Chicago exposition next Summer, said M. s. Whittier, Secretary of lthe All-Alaska Chamber. Answer ing a query from his office, most of the member Chambers have mo- Itified him that they are not fi-

W|DMYER ASSET
To OLD DL|NERS
AS KICKER

Earl Widmyer, who is Univer-
sity of Maryland's ace for its
Homecoming day game with Wash
ington and Lee at College Park
tomorrow afternoon, has made a
reputation for himself as a ball
toter, but has been overlooked in
a department in which he is ex-
pected to be more valuable in the
tilt with the Generals.
Widmyer, who is referred to as
the "HagerStown F1ier," the West
ern Maryland city being his home
town, is the fleetest back playing
football in these parts, and due to
his flashy ball carrying, his kick
ing ability has almost been lost
sight of. But, as a matter OF TACT,
Widmyer is about the best booter
hereabout and his toe will be
counted upon heavily by the Old
Liners n tomorrow'S tilt.
Places Kicks Well
He can do all kinds of booting.
except dropkicking, and he not
only gets great distance but places
them along the Sidelines and out
of bounds so often as to make his
punting a mighty asset. And, as
Washington and Lee is not so
strong in the kicking angle OF the
game, Maryland doubtless will use
this means as a big part of its Of
fense as well as its defense.
Earl can also add the extra
point after touchdown consis-
tently. Last Saturday he booted
all three from placement that he
tried against Hopkins, and that
extra marker comes in mighty
handy in a close battle, such as
the clash Of the Terps and the
Generals promises to be.
Maryland Regulars in Shape
Maryland is in the best shape
it has been in this season, every
regular being available, and fig
ures it has almost an even chance
to upset Washington and Lee in
spite of the fact that the Generals
record is much better and that
the invaders will place 10 and pos
sibly II letter men on the field at
the outset of the contest.
The Maryland Freshmen will
play the Georgetown Freshmen at
1O:3O in the morning as part OF
an extensive alumni day program
that begins early in the day and
lasts until midnight, the home
coming dance being the final
event.

SET FOR BIC
STRUGGLE

PHILADELP HIA, Nov. "a.
From the plains of West Point
and the banks Of the Severn
come football teams Of Army and
Navy. They're here for the an
nual service school game on
Franklin Field tomorrow.
The grid squads and coaches
arrived in advance of the cadets
and midshipmen. Neither regi-
ment is expected until tomorrow
morning.
Plans call for an Army workout
on Franklin Field this afternoon
behind closed gates.
Coach Davidson wants his
charges to get what he calls the
feel" of the field of battle. The
Navy doesn't need it, having
played Penn on Franklin Field
this season.
Coach Miller decided today
as to four linemen and two backs
who will start. He also decided
on three other players who will
start if their physical condition
permits. He was undecided as
to his starting tackles Slim
Brooks and George Lambert on
the left and Huff Clark and Slade
Cutter on the right.
Miller said Capt. Fid Murray
and Jimmie Fulp would be at
the ends, Dave Zabriskie, at left
guard; Bob Harbold, center; Ben
Walkup, right halfback, and Bill
Clark, fullback. Dick Burns, who
in the practice at Annapolis

yesterday, will start at right
guard, if able; Larry Becht at

SEEN FOR
FUTURE

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The
U. s. Golf Association today an
nounced the adoption of changes
effective as of January 1, 1884,
in the rules of golf approved by
the Royal and Ancient Golf Club
of st. Andrews, Scotland.
Among the interesting changes
under the heading Of etiquette
are these: No one must stand
behind the hole when a player is
making a stroke. A player must
Immediately leave the putting
green when the result of a hole
has been determined. This pro-
vision bars practice puts, delay
ing following players. All holes
made in a bunker must now be
filled whereas formerly a player
was required to fill only holes
made by himself. And players
must at all times play without un-
due delay.
Disqualification Removed
Under stroke rules more than
two competitors may now be sent
out at a time. If a player plays
one or more strokes with a wrong
ball he incurS a penalty of two
strokes instead of disqualification.
A player now has the right to
change a ball which has become
unfit for play. The penalty is
increased from one to two strokes
where competitor on the putting
green strikes his opponents ball.
Under general rules changes a
player is now permitted to take
his stance outside the limits of
the teeing ground, and a player
may re-tee a ball accidentally
knocked off in addressing 1t on
the teeing ground. When a ball
is dropped it must come to rest
not nearer the hole. New OBJ
structions now recognized are
bridge, bridge planking, seat, hut
and shelter" Unless the ball lies
in Or touches a hazard the re-
moval of loose impediments is now
permitted, even though they are
more than a clubs length from
the ball and even if the loose i'm
pediment lies in hazard.
Must Recall Stroke
If a player on the putting
green plays when his opponent
should have played, the new rule
makes it mandatory instead Of
optional that the stroke shall be
at once recalled.
If a player after holing out
and leaving his opponent with a
stroke for a half incur any
penalty he shall concede the half.
Under definitions, a path and
a bush are no longer hazards and
scrapes and casual water and all
tracks are excluded as hazards.
A Depression
Casual water is now any tenn
porary accumulation of water
and a bunker is now defined as
a depression where soil is ex-
posed and sometimes covered
with sand.
The definition of a stroke is
now limited to the forward move
ment Of the club MADE with the
intention of striking the ball
and excludes "any contact be-
tween the head of the club and
the ball resulting in a movement
Of the ball."
And the definition Of a lost
ball now provides that the five
minute search period does not
begin until the player or his
caddy has begun a search, and
there is also included the ex-
press provision that if the ball
be subsequently found it may
not be played.

Pretty line-play should mark
tonight's game, even if Tom

Unlike as can be, this pair Of
backs, supported by clever block

though Balfany probably will
prove the more spectacular run
