COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 81
If the preliminaries in the Ma.
tional intercollegiate Athletic
Association swimming meet here
are indications as to what will
happen in the finals today, the
record-keepers will have to set
up new accounting system to
keep track of the records.
Four records went tumbling at
the Ohio State University nata-
torium yesterday in the qualifying
rounds.
Jack Medica, a bespectacled
young man from the University
of Washington, led the record
breakers by shattering two inter
collegiate marks. Walter Spence,
Of Rutgers, and the Yale 300-yard
medley relay team also hung up
new loW-timeS.
Southern California Trojans
and Michigan led the team quail
fiers with eight men each. South
ern California placed a man in
each of the eight field events,
while Michigan's eight qualifiers
placed in six events. Records

All it is going to do now is
change the football itself. a trivial
decision that will not affect the
ball except only its size, shape
and weight.
The new ball, according to the
announcement of Secretary w. S.
Langford, will have a circunlfer
ence at the short axis Of not less
than 21A inches nor more than
2112 inches, as compared with
the old ball that had a minimum
measurement of % inches and
a maximum of 22R inches.
In other words, the 1884 ball
will be smaller by anywhere from
three-quarters to a full inch, a
modern streamline torpedo" that
will sail through the air for pro-
digious distances and perhaps in
amazing directions. It will bring
with it fewer goals after touch
down and, Of course, field goals
in general.
Four Major Results
It also will make forward pass
Ing a Sinecure, even for the short
fingered breed.
That's the version of Lou Little
Columbia football coach, supported
by Leroy N. Mills, recognized by
college coaches as the genius OF
kicking technique.
'I'd say at a guess that the
ball will bring about four major
results" sail Little this morning.
First it will be a narrower ball
and, therefore, will initiate
against accuracy In drop and
place kicking. Second, IL will be
punted further, especially against
the wind, but its lightness and
nsrrOwnesS will place an un-
usual strain on accuracy.
Third, Of course, it will be
easier to pass and it will be
thrown Straighter and further.
Fourth, a punter will be able to
kick much further with it on
wet days."
Four Big Points
Mills, who developed Frank Ca
rideo, among many others, holds
that the ball will be like a stick
Of dynamite-great, if you don't
underestimate it. He says it will
revolutionize kicking because "the
way the average man kicks will
not be possible with this ball"
Among other things he said
it would do were, (A) eliminate
the thrOw-away type Of kicker
and bring out the best tech
nique, which is laying the ball
on the foot, (B) produce great
distances but demand q nicely
of control and direction, (C)
Once it hits the ground, it will
be difficult to "fieId," as he
put it, (D) Revive . great deal
Of the end over end kicking.
"It's a fine thing for foot
ball." he added, "but, until the -.
game gets used to the change,
it will be funny"
What the gentleman doesn't
seem to remember is that the
game has been getting used to
changes for the last IS years
and that they're always funny.
The Washington times., 1934-03-31

In other words, fans, two of the
Griffmen's ION the fence" pitchers
get important tests today-tests
that will go long way in deciding
whether they will be kept by Man
ager Cronin this season.
The New Orleans Pelicans will
be their opponents at Mobile in a
game which was arranged by Pres
ident Clark Griffith earlier in the
week in fulfillment of desire on
the part of Mobile citizens to get
glimpse of the Washington
team which won the American
League pennant in 1888.
5 Innings, If -
McColl will start the game and
go five innings if he can. Chap.
man will twirl the last four
innings. It will be the first start
of the spring season for both
pitchers and it will develop into a
decided test because each man
has difficulties which have made
his training slow.
McColl will be trying out his un,
certain arm which was operated
upon during the winter, while
Chapman will be finding out
whether his lumbago attack has
completely left him.
Naturally both performers will
prance into action to show Bosses
Cronin and Griffith that they
must be figured in the teams
pitching staff selection before the
opening of the regular campaign
only two weeks off.
Prim Seems Certain
Whatever they show will be in.
teresting as it will make Manager
C1onin'S decision that much more
complicated because Of the rating
the youngsters, Ray Prim, Eddie
Iinke, Mark Filley, and Bob Burke
have already gained during the
training grind.
Actually, McColl and Chapman
will be fighting for the second and
third extra pitching job with the
Griffs, as Ray Prim has practically
clinched the number one post
after the regular six Alvin Crow
der. Earl Whitehill, Monte Weaver,
Walter Stewart, Jack Russell, and
Tommy Thomas.
Manager Cronin will use his
regular lineup in the game, in
cluding Ossie Bluege at third
base. He said today that Bluege
would be his third baseman in
tomorrow's contest here with the
same PelicanS.
Mats to Meet Memphis
Crowder, Stewart, and Weaver
will hurl in this game, incident
ally, which means that the rookie
hurlers will be forced to wait un-
til next week before getting into
regular action again.
The Griffs oppose the Pensa-
cola Naval Air Station nine next
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Memphis will be met at Memphis.
Camp will be broken on Wednes-
day. On next Saturday and
Sunday, Chicago will be visited
Three games with the Chicago

Immediately following the Cub

gang to Washington where a full
week of exhibition baseball will
be afforded home fans.

SQUAD.
BY SID KATZNELL


According to the early birds,
Tech will retain the inter-high
track meet championship this sea-
son which will be held May IS, In
the Central Stadium.
They pick Eastern to be the
runner.up; Central to finish third;
Western, fourth, and Roosevelt
last.
, This kid George Began is going
places in the track world If he
continues his present pace.
Wonder Of Team
Began is the 17-year.old wonder
Of Tech Highs track team. He
can dash the 100, in 10 flat, and
is one of the speediest members
Of the relay aggregation.
George is the son of John Bo,
gan, peer Of the bowling foul-line
judges.
Elmer Hap" Hardell, has other
capable performers in his outfit.
He points with extreme pride to
"Runt" Pearson, who can also run
the 100 in 10 flat. The relay team
Of Lynch, Davis, Theis and Bo-
gan is considered by many scho-
laStic followers, as one of the fast
est school combinations in the
South.
Morrisette. who played on the
line during football season, has
oeen heaving the javelin and the
discus around as if they were base
,oalls. Hardell is depending on
Smith to keep Techs good name
in the pole vault competition.
Competent Miller
Lank is a very competent half
miller and Davis is an excellent
miller.
Tech is expecting keen compe-
tition from Eastern despite the
fact it lost Bob Campbell, captain
md discus and Shotput artist.
He was responsible for eight
points registered by Eastern dur.
ing last years interhigh meet.

NEW FOOTBALL
TO IMPROVE
PASSING

Local college football coaches
are agreed that the new speci-
fications for footballs will help
forward passing will tend to
further open up the game, but
probably will make punting,
dropkicking and place kicking a
bit more difficult.
Coaches Jim Pixlee, of George
Washington; Arthur ("Dutch'D
Bergman, of Catholic University;
Jack Faber, Of Maryland, and Wal
ter Young, of American Univer-
sity, seem agreed that, above all,
the new ball will aid the player
with small hands.
Football Reduced
A change in the specifications
of the football was made yester-
day by the football rules commit
tee which reduced the short axis
measurement from a minimum of
% inches and a maximum of 22Ia
inches to a miniu of 81 inches
and maximum of 2112 inches.
"A quarter of an inch differ
ence in the short axis measure.
ment of a football is quite a diff
ference" said Jim Pixlee. "Any
one would be able to pick out
the smaller ball. The new rul-
ing calling for an inch differ
ence should alter considerably
the appearance of the ball,
should aid in opening up the
game, since players with small
hands will be able better to
throw the new ball. However,
the new specification may cause
kickers some trouble"
That the new ball should aid
lateral passing as we'll as the cvel
head game is the opinion of
Dutch" Bergman.
May Handicap Kickers
&C. U. last year worked som
underhand laterals," said Berg.
man. "The smaller ball should
prove a great aid in getting
the play off quicker. There is
no doubt that the smaller ball
will help further to open up
the game, and it should cause
quicker and more acurate lat
eral and forward passing. I am
afraid that punters and drop
kickerS will encounter q bit of
difficulty with the new ball."
The fellow with small hands
materially will be aided by the
smaller ball, according to Jack
Faber.
Heretofore, the advantage in
throwing a football has been
with the player possessing large
hands" said Faber. "'The
smaller ball will give smaller
players an opportunity to throw
forward passes and viii make
pony backs real threats"
Young Dissents
The new ball will prove bene
fit to forward passing and NAV
or may not effect punting and
drop kicking, according to Walter
Young.
4 do not feel that the smaller
ball will hurt kicking, but /
would prefer to withhold judg-
ment until I see the new ball."
said Young. 81 do feel that it
should help forward passing"
Several of the coches pointed
out that while the new ball will
aid the thrower. it may add to
the burdens of some Of the
catchers of overheads since it
should be easier to catch the
larger ball. On this point, how
ever, coaches appeared to desire
actual tests before going on
record.
