RULE CHANGES TO
 SPEED HOOP GAME

Troy, N. r., Nov. l9-A marked quickening of the pace will be no- ticeable in basketball games this winter, according to Coach Edmund Donald of the Rensselaer, Tech bas- ketball team.
 Donald, now starting his 18th year as mentor of the Engineers, bases his prediction on the changes recently made in the rules of the sport.
 The most important of these are the elimination of the center tap after successful free throws follow ing personal foul, the extension of the rule against the bucket" play to bar all members of the of- fensive team from the foul zone after Q three second stay of the new Interpretation of the dribble rule under which 6 fumbled ball does not constitute e discontinued dribble.
 The latter rule will do away with nearly 25 per cent of outside balls along is the prophecy of the R. P. I. coach. The first mentioned change will speed-up play by eliminating the lag between the sinking of the foul and the pumpof since the scored upon team now takes the ball outside underneath its own basket.
 The further restriction on the bucket play will eliminate many fouls and curb the stationary type of play used by some coaches ac- cording to Donald.

WILLIE HOPPE, AT 4O, ,PLAYSFOR
 BILLIARD TITLE.
Balkline Star Opposed By Welker COchran-O One
 Game May Decide
BY WINTHROP LYMAN ynlten Press Staff COrreanNntlAmt

United Press Stan C0rrespOndent)
 Chicago, Nov. 10--(UP)-Willie Hoppe, who started playing billiards when he was eight years old, meets Welker Cochran tonight for the only major cue title he never has held.
 The veteran Hoppe, now 4S, won the hcance to take the worlds ee-cushion title in a single game when Cochran last night suffered his first defeat in the tournament. Arthur Thurnblad beat Cochran, 50 to 37 in 45 innings.
 The championship will be at stake on even terms with both Hoppe and Cochran having records of seven victories and one defeat.
 Upsets
 Expert hree-cushion players went down to defeat during the tourna- ment, leaving Hoppe and Cochran, balkline champions, in the running. Hoppe now holds the 18.- balkline title while Cochran is world cham pion at the 1892 balkline game.
 Coached by his father who ran Q hotel at Cornwall, N. r., Hoppe was able to defeat the visiting trav- cling salesmen before he was 10. He entered his first tournament in New York City at the age of l2 and from then on was the "boy marvel"
 Europe acclaimed him when he still was in his teens and Hoppe today admits he learned a lot about billiards" during his first for- eign tour. In 1904 he won the Mas ters' Tournament in Paris and in 1906 he captured the world balk- line title, also in Paris.
 Hoppe's highest run at 18.1 balk- line Is 243. His best in the three- cushion was 0 run of 25. During the present tournament he has an av- craze of 1.107 an inning.
 Keeps Fit
 Husky and d-shouldered, Hoppe, whose gray hair IS getting thin, goes on vegetable diet be- fore Q tournament. He believes 1t keeps his nerves in shape. An occa- sional beer during the past few years had been his only drinking.
 Cochran held the three- cushion title in 1883. If he had not lost last night Q playof game would have been required for the cham- pionship in the event Hoppe wins tonight.
 There will be playoff for second place between Thurnblad and the loser of the championship match.
 Kinrey Matsuyana, Japan, won his second plpayoff match for fourth place early today, defeating Johnny Layton, sedalia, Mo-, 50 to 46 in 60 innings. Layton lost to Jay Bozeman, Vallejo. Cal, 50 to 3S in 46 innings yesterday and Mat suyama defeated Allen Tall, 50 to 46 in 36 innings.

BANNED PLAYER SCORED POINTS
 IN U.C.L.A. WIN
California Victory Will Settle Western HOnOrs;
 Dartmouth vs Tigers
BY HENRY SUPER

AAA4ANA94 A4AG United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Nov. 19-(U.P)-The 1885 fotball campaign hears the end of the trail Saturday with two en- counters, 5000 miles apart, com manding more national attention than 122 other battles scheduled for the last big day of the season.
 Upwards of l45,000 persons will jam two stadiums ct opposite ends of the country to witness clashes which will determine the western Rose Bowl representative and pos sibly teh mythical championship of the east.
 At Palo Alto, Cal. 9oOoo, are ex- pected to tax Stanford Stadium to capacity to see unbeaten California and once-defeated Stanford close their campaigns in the west coasts annal "big game" A sell out crowd of 65,000 will fill Palmer Stadium, Princeton, N. J., for a scrap between Dartmouth and Princeton, @ pair of elevens who have won every game this year.
 Fine Record
 California will enter its battle with one-gafne edge over the Palo Alto crew for Pacific Coast confer- ence honors. The Golden Bears have won four conference encounters and five on the outside. Stanford won three and lost one-to U. c. L. Az in the division and triumphed in three others.
 Stanford, which played in the last two Rose Bowl games, has every thing to gain and nothing to lose. If they whip California, the Indians may precipitate @ three-way tie for the conference title. U. o. L. A., which also has won three and lost one, faces Idaho next week and still has @ chance to share the cham pionship If 1t and Stanford win their remaining conference engage ments.
 The western rose bowl entry is the one which captures the conference crown. U. 0. L. A., should 1t tie with the other two, will be out because of @ defeat on the outside by Southern Methodist.
 If Stanford wins Saturday, the rose bowl situation on the coast will be high up In the air. Favoring Stanford would be the fact that its lone defeat was at the hands of U. 0. L. A. eleven whose winning points were scored by Ted Key.
 He was not in the lineup when his team lost to California and later resigned from college because he was playing under an assumed name.
 Thus, Stanford logically would be the favored team to play for the west if 1t scores Q convincing tri. umph over It's traditional rival.
 Tn the other classic this week, Dartmouth, the Green Indians, who broke one hoo-doo by halting Yale for the first time in history, face another. They haven't whipped Princeton in five games since 1913.
 Easy Finishes
 Both Princeton and Dartmouth have one more game before either clln lay claim to the eastern crown. Princeton must face Yale, which gave the Tigers their only setback last year, while Dartmouth still has Columbia left.
 The big ten ends the season with 0 possibility of c tie for the title. Ohio State and Minnesota, the leaders, have easy picking in Mich- igan and Wisconsin, respectively, and should deadlock for the crown.

Only five, George Blackwood and Vernon Struck, backs, Captain Shaun Kelly and Emil Dubiel, ends, and Jim Gaffney, guard, are regarded as cer- tain starters.

i'''''' TodayS"''..' Sports Parade
By HENRY McLEMoRE

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Nov. 1o.--(UP)-It seems to me that the proprietors of the Rose Bowl could simplify the selection of the eastern team for their New Years party by sitting down before the start of each foot ball season and drawing up 0 graded list of eligible elevens.
 Qualifications for this list would be simple. They would consist of but two items, namely, willingness to make the trip to the coast if in. vited, and Q schedule of major pro- portions. It wouldn't be @ cumber- some list. The schedule angle would take care of that. The eligi- ble team with the toughest row of opponents to hoe would be given the No. l post, the team with the second meanest foes the No. ? po- sition, and SO on down the line.
 Big Idea
 With this plan in operation the progress of the Rose Bowl candi- dates could be watched week by week, and an accurate check taken. If the No. team came through unbcaten or united, or with Q rec- ord equal to any of the elevens be- low 1t in ranking, there would be no argument as to what club was going out to whoop 1t up for dear old Pasadena O. of 0.
 You'd be surprised how easy 1t would be for the Rose Bowl proprie- tors to hold the eligible list to a workable size. After you have thrown out the Big Ten teams, the Big Three, and the others who have rules against post season games, there aren't many teams left who have major schedules.
 Speaking of the Big Three makes me think of Princeton and its Rose Bowl troubles. Each year Princeton firmly refuses 0 Rose Bowl invita- ton 1t never gets. Wouldn't 1t be more sensible for Princeton and the bowl proprietors to settle the mat ter by an exchange of marble slabs holding the chiselled sentiments of each? Princeton's slab, which the Rose Bowl proprietors could use as e door stop. Could read: We ain't never coming out there" and the bowl proprietors' could read: we ain't never asked you and never will"
 Comparisons
 Princeton's eagerness to snub the trip west this year was equalled only by North Carolina's eagerness to accept. Whereas the Tigers re- fused before they were invited, the Tarheels accepted, with profuse thanks, before they were asked.
 I doubt if the Rose Bowl proprie- tors would look with favor on any plan which would simplify the se- lection of the visiting team. Being as the bowl game is a commercial enterprise, the more complicated the selection is the more then like it. After all, guess they are more interested in getting the right num- Der of customers in the place. than in getting the right team.
