4 ND all during the evening, young
IA sters were coming from behind to
challenge or to win, unknowns
with brushes and paint pots, on their
way to print few new names on the
walls of fame, or at least to splash
bit Of color on the gate posts. Watch
them in the three remaining indoor
meets which occur in the East in the
next few weeks. A champion, at his
particular game, Is the best man in the
world-untn a better man comes along.
These games in the house that Rick
ard built certainly were seen by a noted
bevy Of foot ball coaches. Pop Warner
was there, and Lou Little, Tuss Nc
Laughry, Gil Dobie. Herb McCracken,
Chick Meehan, Dick Hanley, Elmer
Layden, Harry Stuhldreher, w. A.
Alexander and many another. They
had an idea that 1t would be a great
play to give TOPPING the bali and then
lay q track for him. They also rooted
violently for any contestants from their
alma matters or any colleges at which
they ever had coached.

If the Foot Ball Rules Committee
goes no further in making changes in
the rules than will be recommended by
the Committee en- Rules of the Amer
ican Foot Ball Coaches Association,
then there should be little tampering
with the code. The change recon-
mended in regard to play along the
side lines is not as good as might seem
at first thought. It simply would mean
that the whole strategy involved in
position play would be done away with,
as far as the side lines are concerned.
A part Of quarterback's Job now Is
to keep the ball away from the side
lines, and there are many ways to get
the ball back in the field other than
to waste a play in deliberately running
it outside to have it brought back in
is yards. The Coaches Committee
has recommended that anytime the ball
is dead within 10 yards of the side line
it shall be brought out 10 yards from
the side line. incidentally, that change
would result in a dead ball and time
out more times than anybody might
think. Cutting down of the penalty
for clipping from 25 to Is yards is rec
commended, in order to have the pen
atty more frequently inflicted and the
rule thereby more stringently enforced.
The other recommendation involve de-
claring penalty for any ineligible line
man who crosses the line of scrimmage
on a forward pass before the ball is
passed, having no interference on a
forward pass where 4herc is no bodily
contact have time kept on the side
lines, as now is done in basket bali,
and have coaches notified when the
teams have had three times out. None
OF these recommendations II put into
effect by the Rules Committee would
have the least effect on the general
aspect of the game.

RULES COMMITTEE:
MEETS THIS WEEK
Six Adjustments Recommend
ed by Coaches viii Be
Considered.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
vEW YORK, February g.
M The National Foot Ball
v Rules Committee goes into
annual Midwinter session
this week end, ready to study the
means by which the game can be
improved through alterations in
the playing code.
Out u their deliberations at Green
Hill Farm, Overlook, Pa, Friday.
Saturday and Sunday, will come either
revised code or an announcement of
satisfaction with the rules as they
stand.
The chances are that the rule-makers
will decied upon a few minor adjust
ments, but that there will be no such
series of drastic changes as were order
ed at this time last year following the
1881 season when some so lives were
lost on the foot ball playing fields.
THE Rules Committee, in its annual
L report to the National Collegiate
A. A., opposed any radical alter
ations in the code, taking the position
that the rules, as revised, had accom-
plished their purpose of making the
game safer for the players. The re-
port did advocate restrictions on the
ind1scrtminate use Of the forward pass
and this matter probably will be one of
the chief items up for discussion.
The committee likewise will consider
six changes in the rules advocated by
the American Foot Ball Coachers' Asso-
citation. Meeting here Saturday the
coaches suggested elimination Of the
sideline play; recommended that no
lneliglDle man (tackles, guards, center)
Shau oe permitted to pass beyond the
Ilne OF scr1mmage on q forward pass
play until the pass Is thrown: suggested
that whenever an agreement Is reached
between contesting teams, time NAV be
kept on the sidelines by representatives
OF the TWO teams, thus doing away with
| the services Of field Judge; recon-
mended that, in the interests of stricter
enforcement Of the rule against clin-
ping the penalty be reduced from Is
10 10 yards; suggested that coaches be
notlfled by an official when the teams
nave had three times out; and recon-
mended that interference be not called
on a forward pass unless there is bodily
contact.
l0F these, the sideline play represents
~ the most serious problem. The
| coaches recommended that In the
future the ball be brought in 10 wards
OF the side of the field. Under the
present rule, the ball must be carried
outside and a down wasted before the
pail is brought in Is yards from the
sideline. '-s
A number Of other suggested changes
many OF them radical In nature. were
discussed. but no action was taken.

His brown hair stuck out to the circle
Of the compass points and his shining
countenance was brighter than any of
of the new electric lights with which
Madison Square Garden was equipped
for the Millrose games.
What was the idea in hurrying so
In that final heat?" asked one of his
friends. "You had a couple of yards
to spare and there's no use straining
well" answered the New Orleans

isiana, You see Widener had made fast
time In that semi-f1nal, and perhaps
that made me little nervous. I Just
figured" he added, smiling, that I'd
better move right along"
And he certainly did get going, with
his arms moving in that rather peculiar
motion which resembles a furry Of up
percuts-it always seems as II one of
them sometime Is likely to catch him
in the nose-and his legs twinkling
like the blades of propeller.

blond boy from the sun-kissed coast,
had put on bright-colored track pa

over their running suits, and we're
still cooling out, after the manner Of q
couple Of thoroughbred colts.
The second, third and fourth men in

and so was none too well satisfied. The

II certainly have something to learn
about running indoors" said Wykoff.
"As matter of fact, I have lust
learned something. The spring Of q
board track is entirely different from
that OF a cinder track. Fortunately,
there are three more meets and per-
haps I'll do better in the latter ones"
IT would seem that several things
1 were demonstrated in this Millrose
meet, things which appear to be
newly impressed on the human race In
spite Of the constancy with which they
occur. We are, for example, largely a

CHICAGO, which city in the days
~ when boxing was at its height
in this country, boasted of being
the home of many of our greatest
fighters, today retains it's place in
the fistic spotlight not only by hav-
ing the largest indoor fight arena,
the Coliseum, but by having among
its citizens the largest number of
former pugilistic luminaries outside
of New York. Among those the
Windy City harbors is George
Gardiner, former Lowell, Mass,
fighter, the first man to hold the
worlds light heavyweight champion
ship.
Gardiner in those days was trim,
well-built, handsome looking young
man, and today he doesn't look
much different except that he has
put on weight and has become q
little f1abby around the waist. The
title was first established in the
United States in 1908, with Jack
Root as the claimant Lou Hous-
man Put up belt for a battle be-
tween Root and any man who
thought he had chance to whip
him, and Gardiner, under the guild
ance of Jack Curley, now Americas
foremost wrestling promoter, beat
Root in II rounds and became the
recognized title holder That's how
the light heavyweight division was
launched.
Gardiner thereafter developed in
to one Of the finest fighting ma
chimes the division has ever had.
He held his own with the greatest
light heavies and heavyweights Of
his time. One of his best fights
was that with Joe Walcott in San
Francisco, in which Jack Welch, the
referee, declared the affair draw,
although most critics thought Gardi-
ner had won. Other famous con-
tests in which Gardiner was par
ticipant were those with Jack Moi
fat, Jack johnson, to whom he lost
a 20-round decision before the negro
had gained the world crown; Kid
Carter, Marvin Hart, Jim Flynn,
Mike Schreck, Al Kaufman and
Tony Ross.

Winners of three of their first four

Dartmouth's Indians on Saturday.
Neither assignment promises to be

pense of Cornell, beaten four times in
as many league starts.
Yale undoubtedly will be strong IA
vorite against the invaders from New

DARTMOUTH, however, may be a
l. tougher obstacle. The Indians,
although they've gained no better
than an even break in four games,
handed Yale its only defeat of the cam
paign, winning 1928 decision at New

should be even stronger, but Yale, too,
will be much more formidable now that
