his opponent, Jack Hader.
After scratching his head, Ref

AT this point, Hader rushed at
Baxter, but received hefty boot
in the tummy. However, after con-
siderable exertion on the part Of
;tIader, Baxter was pulled into the
ring.
!, Evidently, Baxter saved a good
deal of his energy during that
brief sitdown strike-for he threw
Nader in 80 minutes. The bout
was a rough and tumble affair,
all ethi"s of wrestling being broken.
Even Referee Bortnick was on the
receiving end of some knocks and

Battle on Floor
Tonight aleu-.

After a five-year lapse, the ath-
letic relations between Catholic
University and American Univer-
sity will be officially patched to-
night, when the two teams clash
in a post-season basket ball game
at the C. U. gym, with the lone tap
of the evening listed for 8:15
o'clock.
The game is attracting a great
deal of interest in this section,
as several innovations that will be
adopted next year will make up
the fundamental principles Of the
game. First of all, the new seam
less ball will be put in play for
the first time on a District court,
and in addition to this, Pacific
Coast Conference rules will prevail.
Novel Rules
Under these novel rules, the
regular center tap will be elimi,
mated following the opening OF
the game. From thence on, the
ball will be put in play from the
"throw.in." OF course, the second
halt will open with the center
jump and then play will continue
from the "throw-in."
Through these rules, the game
is expected to be a speedy affair
and just how the local lads will
take to the game will not be
known until after the final
whistle has blown.
AS for the new ball to be used
much comment has been directed
for and against the spheroid. Some
followers of the floor sport are o1
the opinion that the ball is toe
tricky for regular play. They point
out that the ball has tendency
to fade away" on long passes anc
at the same time drops short or
long shots at the basket.
New Ball in Play
The ball was used in severa
games in the Southern Conference
the past winter and it was heartily
indorsed by players and coaches
alike.
The game will mark the end O.
no less than four dribblers ou
