 Opinions gathered from different parts of the country seem to indi- cate a growing sentiment in favor of the elimination of the center jump although there are many who honestly believe it should be re- tained
 We always are willing to try out any good ideas to better the game, but some of them never stand the test. The restrictions on the pivot play in the free-throw zone, under the new rules introduced this sea- son, caused no changes at Pitt, where we combine a fast and slow breaking offensive.

Graphing Coach Would Eliminate
 Riding Tactics

AMES, Ia, Feb. 12.-Hugo Oto- palik, Iowa State College wrestling coach and tutor of the United States Olympic grapplers in 1892, believes amateur wrestling rules should be altered to speed up the matches and make the wrestlers more aggressive, and he has a plan to back his idea.
 No wrestling meet would last longer than an hour and a half" Otopalik recommends in defense of his proposals. Tt is entirely pos sible for a meet of eight weight classes to drag out for two hours and half under present rules"
 Overtime periods for matches ending in ties would be banned under Otopalik's plan, and the time limit on any match would be set at 10 minutes. The elimination of watches to determine time advan- tages also is recommended. The outcome of matches would be de-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-02-12

termined by a point system based primarily on the fight, aggressive ness and ability of the contestants.
 This would make the wrestlers more aggressive and the wrestling more interesting to the spectators, Otopalik believes.
 If the wrestlers know it will do them no good to go into the ring and ride their opponents as long as possible in order to get time advantage, they will be consider ably more aggressive and instill more action into the matches" he declared.

SPORT SLANTS

At this time last year the Cleve- land Indians were the popular choice of the baseball experts to win the American League pennant. Today Cleveland is rated as dark-horse in the 1886 race with cnly a slight chance of upSetting Detrot and Boston.
 The failure of the Indians last season was due to injuries, illness and internal troubles. The Indians mound staff, rated so highly in the preseason dope last year, fell apart when Frank Pytlak's health failed and the poppy little catcher was forced to quit the game.
 The teams internal troubles seem to have been remedied with the displacement of Walter Johnson. Steve O'Neil, Johnson's successor as pilot, is popular with the play CTS and the fans in Cleveland. He has put new spirit into the team. Just look what he has done with Pytlak
 Pals from Toledo
 Pytlak and O'Neil worked together in Toledo and long have been close friends. It just about broke O'Neil'S heart to see the little fellow slip out of the picture last ear. Even ill retirement Pytlak reported reg ularly to O'Neil seeking advice and informing him of the progress he was making in his fight to regain his health, ONeil built up the catcher's spirit with encouragement. The rest was easy. Now Pytlak boasts 13 added pounds and is itching to don the big mitt and chest protector.
 The improved condition of the Indians catcher has given Cleve- lands pennant hopes big boost for in condition Pytlak rates with the best receivers in the game.
 The Indians are also counting heavily on the return of Louis (Bozie) Berger to the form that stamped him as one of the finds of 1885 until an arm injury forced him out late in the season. It was hurt as he made a fast underhand throw and benched for weeks.
 Tt hasn't given me a bit of trouble,' Berger says. "Of course, I haven't done lot of throwing, but there was no pain the few times I threw ball"
 Roland Logan, the Red Sox train CT who spends the winter looking after George Washington Univer- sity athletes in the national capi- tai, is one of Berger's close friends and Bozie says he plans to work out with Logan and let him look over the arm and give it the atten- tion it may need.
 Resting and Hunting
 Berger is enjoying long rest, living with his mother at Rosslyn, Va, across the Potomac River from Washington. He did quite bit of hunting last fall and took in a lot of football games.
 Several afternoons week he de- votes to coaching the basketball team at Fort Myer, cavalry post near his home He was an all- Southern Conference guard during his college days at the University of Maryland and says he gets a great kick out of coaching the khaki-clad lads
 Berger scales 190 pounds. which means that he will have to shed about five pounds in the training period. He fels that he should do better in 1886 with years big league experience under his belt. His confidence, based on last years work, he figures ought to add 40 points to his batting average, bring ing it up to the 300 mark. SPEND WHERE YOU MAKE IT!
