TUMBLE AID

MANHATTAN, Kan, Nov. II.
eff any tampering is done with
the football tumble rule it
should be in the direction Of
giving more, rather than less,
protection to the fumbling
team, except in the case Of a
kick"
That's the opinion of Coach
A. N. C"Bo") McMillin, of Kansas
State College, and Colonel Nc
Millin has some sound arguments
to back it up. He says:
'PeOple who want to allow
running with, fumbled Scrim-
mage plays or lateral passes say
it would put more drama into
the game-give more scoring OPP
pOrtunities.
Actually such a change
would have the opposite effect.
Football has gone defense crazy
and if the defense is allowed to
run with a fumbled ball its
going to make the offensive
that much more conservative.
"H you want dramatic, open
football, change the rules so as
to return a fumbled lateral or
backward pass which has been
recovered by the defense to the
team which fumbled it, count
ing only the loss Of a down.
You might do the same on any
Scrimmage play. Then you'll
see some real offensive work.
Teams won't be afraid to try
double and triple laterals, and
the ball carrier can cut loose
without worrying about some
body knocking the ball out Of
his arms"

40 Cents Per Head

Georgetown is going to give
Washington college basketball
for 40 cents per head when the
season gets under way. That is
a step in the right direction.
I think many more football
seats could be sold here abouts
if there we're a greater number
desirable half dollar locations.
All Of the Blue and Gray
games will be played at Tech
nical High School gymnasium
where upwards of 1000 spec
tators may be accommodated.
With the 40 cent Abundance
and a good schedule, backed
by a fast, rangy team, George
towns quint il facing a season
carrying great potentialities.

and no doubt the thing that
has held back hockey's arrival
has been the Wherewithal.
A plant would almost have
to be built from the ground up.
Few buildings which have
served other purposes, lend
themselves to ice hockey be-
cause of the size of the playing
surface, which combined with
a suitable seating area, de-
mands a building approximate
ing 40 by 225 feet in dimen-
SionS.
A quarter of a million dollars
would erect a modern hockey
plant which would be adaptable
to other things out of the
hockey season. It would take
from two to three years to sell
hockey here, but after that
there should be nothing to
worry about financially.

Back of Hoya confidence Is a
Gale of a determination on the
part of the Filltoppers reminis-
cent of the good old days at
Georgetown" when Hoya elevenS
were noted for their ability to
upset the dope bucket with one
well-aimed kick.
For two solid hours yesterday,
Georgetown'S squad practiced in
Ghe final rough going before the
Carnegie game. A scrimmage
against the Frosh, who used
Techs pet plays, indicated that
the HoyaS are prepped to the
moment for the Carnegie fray.
Hagerty Jubilant
So well did the Blue and Gray
stalwarts show in scrimmage that
even Coach Jack Hagerty, usually
reticent. expressed the thought
that Georgetown may win over
the visiting SKlooeS.
'We've got a good chance,
with Georgetown in this frame
Of mind" remarked &C. u.
Jack" as he watched his charges
tear the FrOsh to bits. "If by
any chance Carnegie is a bit
Over-confident, we may come
through to lick the SkibOeS."
Mack Stanley, considered by
many as Georgetown's best back,
will be held in reserve tomorrow
as the game starts. The Hoya
backfield will be composed OF
6averine, quarter, Viskovich and
Heron, at the halves. and Brad
ley, at fullback, when Georgetown
takes the field for the opening
kickoff. Stanley is ready to play,

nothing more than his social
prestige in jeopardy and the in

championship at stake, Barney
Ross, the lightweight titleholder,

Judging from the weather which OBJ
tanned the first two days of the fall
meeting, something will have to be
done about the autumn dates as we'll,
because Bowie nor any other track can't
survive on the meager attendances of
Wednesday and yesterday.
Late November in these parts hap
pens to present as much raw weather
as early April and if the Maryland
racing dates could be so shifted that
the horses would come south two
weeks earlier each fall, just as they
are now coming north two weeks later
in the spring, I believe the result at
the gates as well as the caliber of
sport available to the public would
be greatly enhanced.

 There were 1,201 accidents in the group of cases listed in causation ated too fast for conditions" This these collisions, or accidents. were speeding" necessarily, but that they were proceeding at rates which were excessive for the con- ditions in which the accidents oc- cured. That is cars were going too rapidly when approaching in- tersections, when the road surface was not suitable for the rate of travel their operators elected to proceed, when the course of the highway was such it could not be safely trave1ed at the speeds adopt ed by the operators in given cases and that the progression was ex- cessively fast for the weather or traffic conditions.
 There were 354 accidents, 19 in- volving loss of life, because cars had improper equipment. The prevalence of this condition was the spur which brought on the re- cent careful check by department inspectors and police of equipment of cars in operation. That there is still a danger from this cause is shown by the report of inspectors for January, for instance, which shows that moro than 5000 cars halted by inspectors for examina- tion were faulty in some one or more respects, in 73 of which cases the, laxity in safety appliances was 50 serious in nature that arrests were made.

Hartford, Feb 23.-There are men successfully managing the in- tricacies of motor vehicle operation despite the lack of some one or more physical attributes. None has been discovered, however, who can perform properly and safely under the handicap of q crippled mentality, says the department of motor vehicles in bulletin today.
 Even those with normal minds frequently meet disaster when they fail to devote their entire attention to the task at hand. In fact more accidents are caused year after year through the inattention of op- orators than because of any other single cause. There were 2,391 &C., cidents last year, including 45 fatal accidents, which occurred because operators relaxed vigilance while traffic participants.
 The cause of accidents which takes second place each year, the failure to grant right of way, might be called a relaxation of courtesy. There were 2,098 such accidents in 1882, including 45 in which at least one fatality occurred, acci- dents that came because some who were participating in traffic as op-

 Arthur Evans of Ansonia, many times winner of the.

Morris Kessler of Hartford and Frank Mover of the same city, gave him his greatest battles.
 There were several upsets. Peter Pacereau of Springfield, who has two legs on the cup, and Isaiah Spectors of New Haven who won the cup two years ago, and were looked upon as strong contenders this year, were both knocked out in the first round.

Concert Tuesday Feb 2s By Cherniavsky Trio

The second concert in the Com munity Concert Course of Water bury will take place next Tuesday evening, February 2S, at S:15 o'clock at the Waterbury Women's club. The Cherniavsky Trio, cele- brated musicians will present a program.
 Leo. Jan and Mischel Cherniav- sky have an unusual amount of temperament, and this, rich gift, is greatly appreciated by those who grasp its qualities and power. So well under control is this force that their ensemble work is notable for it's restraint. It's possession, together with the smoothness and the blending of tone of the three instruments, gives a new aesthetic appeal to their music. And that is one of the secrets of how the Cherniavsky Trio has fascinated the people of many lands and has gained the recognition of the music-loving and artistic the world over.
