UNUSUAL
IN ARMY CHANGES
Number of officers Placed
in Class B Based on Regu-
lar Circumstances.

Now that the task of eliminating
approximately 400 officers from the

accomplished, interest is being taken
in the method pursued by the War
Department in effecting these sep
arations. Chief interest ceHterS in the
number of officers placed in class B,
Considering the great number of sep
arations, it does not appear that any
large proportion Of the eliminated offi-
GERS was placed in class B, perusal
Of special orders indicating that the
majority Of these retirements the past
several months being due to physical
disability after 80 years service and
for statutory age. There may be an
increase in the number of class B re-
tirements for this fiscal year. but it is
not expected that this class Of separa-
tions will be unusually large.

s. 8. Scott and Al Farrier, all Of New

mittee when It meets later this Winter.
Thus the Eastern officials, at least,
sided with the minority Of the Nations
coaches who suggested these same two
changes, and many others calculated
to open up the game and encourage
field-goal kicking as one of the means
Of offsetting the steadily rising popu-
larity of professional foot ball. A ma
jority OF the coaches, and the Rules
Committee itself, headed by Walter
Okeson Of Lehigh, thought no changes
necessary.
Last year." said william R. Crow
ley of Bowdoin, president of the OH
cials' Association, I'VE suggested some
Of the changes adopted last Winter
in the effort to better balance the
advantage the defense previously en-
joyed over the offense This year,
it Is our observation that the offense
needs the benefit Of restoration of
the goal posts to the goal line as an
aid to field goal kicking and the legal
izing Of forward passes from any
point back Of the scrimmage line.
Both changes, we believe, would add
interest and color to the game"

~ ROOKLINE, Mass, December
K 2s.-Virginia Hollinger, IT.
II year-old Dayton, Ohio, tennis
star. gained two national titles
today in the final play Of the 1894
girls indoor tournament at Longwood.
She gained the singles title by de-
feating ElerS Ciccone of Newton,
6-2, 81, before teaming With Helen
Bernhard, tiny New Yorker, and gain
ing "a, 6-1 triumph over Miss
Ciecone and Louise Hedlund of Water
town, daughter of the NJ. I. T. track
coach, in the doubles final.
Miss Hollinger. top-seeded in the
starting field of 81, held the upper
hand against Miss Ciccone from start
to finish. The Newton girls back
hand was unable to stand the Mid
westerner's determined pressure. Sew
eral times during the match, Miss
Ciccone tried to storm the net, but
her game lacked the steadiness re-
Quired for the protection of sudden
tactical shifts.
Miss Hedlund's consistent play made
the first set of the doubles match q
lively affair. Games went to 4-all
before her partner surrendered her
service, and after this break the
New York-Dayton team was never
challenged.
Miss Hollinger was runner-up to
Millicent Hirsch of New York, in last
years indoor final. She is ranked
No. on the girls singles list by the

Figures Point to Duel.

TINE statistics disclose convincingly
how closely matched are the
two teams. In nine games
Alabama amassed 1926 yards and
124 first downs. Stanford collected
$3.50 yards but 1876 first downs against
10 opponents.
Their defensive strength compares
equally well. Coach Thomas squad
allowed five touchdowns, but only
1,035 yards and SO first downs. STAN
ford permitted only two touchdowns.
Its opponents gained 1,150 yards
however and 46 first downs.
On the basis of probable starting
hne-ups, as announced from the
boards of strategy, Stanford's team
has six pounds more weight than
Alabama, due to superior heft in the
backfield.
