Whatever the reason, the Four

nored the switch at Fourteenth and
gleefully chased a stream-lined Rossyln
up Pennsylvania avenue. In midblock
the conductor, evidently worried. went
forward and made discreet and low

with jerk.

formal conference. Titering passen-
gers joined in. Go around by New

the old turn Is gone" mourned the
luckless motorman. 1t was finally
agreed that the lost car might back up
sufficiently to make the usual turn
into Fourteenth from the Avenue.
However, this was not to be. In the
meantime Friendship Heights car
had crept up behind it, the one-man
operator of the latter grinning broadly
at the sight Of the misplaced Four
teenth and Decatur sign.
The Fourteenth and Decatur was
last seen detouring down Pennsylvania
avenue, its passengers transferred to
other lines.

sell. That means this tie is water
proof, won't show spots, ETC."
Mr.. Johnston could not believe his
ears at first, but there was no escap-
ing it as the clerk hammered further
on the point.
Have you, by any chance, got the
words 'cravat' and 'cravenette' con-.
fused?" he finally managed to ask.
The clerk thought for a minute.
Maybe" he finally admitted,
grudgingly, dropping the whole busi-
ness.

Coach Noyal Walker of HoltVille
high hit upon a new method in
teaching his candidates the art of
football in spring training this year
when he introduced six man foot
ball to Imperial Valley
Six man football was originated
by Stephen Epler of Chester, Neb.,
high school and is exactly the same
as national football as played in col
lege and high schools with the eX-
ception of nine special rules.
The first rule is of course that
each team will be composed of six
men. Secondly the field is 80 yards
instead of 100 and the ball is put
into play by kickoff from the 20
yard line.
Every man on the team except the
center is eligible to receive a pass
on the offensive team. The often
sive team must have three men on
the line of scrimmage. A penalty
of five yards and loss of down is
given for violation.
A forward pass may be thrown
1Olll dlly WlltlC OClllilNI bliC AilA1 Vi
scrimmage This rule makes the
game wide open and teaches the
player to pass the ball accurately
while on the run.
On all running plays at least two
men must handle the ball. Often
sive ball carrier (No. y must pass
the ball to team mate before cross
ing the line of serimmage. The
ball must travel at least two yards
after leaving the passer's hands
and before entering the receivers
hands.
The playing time shall consist of
four eight minute quarters.
On the kick off the receiving team
may place men anywhere behind
the line 10 yards III front of where
the ball is kicked
With these rules, six man foot
ball, enables players to learn plays
and formations that are used in reg
ular football With fewer men on
the team passing is encouraged and
as a result the players become eX-
pert at ball handling and passing.
The rule necessitating lateral
pass on all running plays will en-
courage reVerseS and laterals that
will prove invaluable as ground
gamers in close ball games.

BERLIN, April 6. U.P)-Ameri-
cas- basketball aces will play a
far different game in the Olym-
pics this summer than they play
at home. it became known today.
The Olympic basketball tourney
will be conducted under French
rules. This was decided at the
recent meeting of the information
al basketball federation, despite
objections of most nations.
The decision to use French rules,
it was said. was made in 1884 when
only France and Italy were repre-
sented at the federation meeting.
Most of the countries who will
participate this summer desired
American rules.
The French system, which takes
most of the roughness from the
game, calls for a foul when two
players touch each other-even
when they collide accidentally.
The federation also decided that
the balls will have corrugated
leather covers without seams or
lacing. Two referees will officiate
for each game. Each team must
have at least 20 hours rest between
matches.

Layman, Preece. Murphy, Van Der

The Holtville squad will be
divided into two teams. the Reds
and the Blues Both teams have
their own set Of plays with the
Reds using a single wing back un-
balanced line. and the Blues play
ing a balanced line with a single
wing back.
Both offensives are suited for
wide open passing game. and the
Holtville mentor said both squads
have been instructed TO let go
plenty Of passes in Wednesdays
game.
Every member of the team has
become proficient at ball handling
and both squads have expert pass
snaggers. However. the two squads
also boast strong pass defenses and
as a result the game should be
equally as thrilling as any seen in
mid-season.
Walker has stressed ball hand
ling and pass offense and defense
in all practices because he will
have light team next season that
will have to depend on speed and
accurate passing 10 win games.
