MT. RelDndTL necessarily Is IN no
hurry In the first place Tech High
has the only reasonable gymnasium
and that it too small to make the prop
osition pay. But in the meantime
George Washington is toying with the
idea of erecting big gym on some
land already bought. There is chance
that fieldhouse to accommodate $500
to 1000 will be constructed. When all
this is done Mr.. Reinhart proposes to
swing into action. George Washington
would meet such as Minnesota in one
half of double header and George
town would play Carnegie Tech or
Pittsburgh. Just like that.
Meanwhile, over at G. w. they
are doing a pretty good job Of
bringing the best in the land
now. Take that Minnesota
team which moves into Tech
High Saturday night. Nobody
else has.
The Gophers- were co-champions OF
the Big Ten last year. sharing the
title with Illinois. They won IA of
20 games, including 10 out Of IL in
the conference This year they are
undefeated and New York cage ex-
perts, after watching Minnesota bowl
over Long Island U. and N. Y. U. in
the Garden this week, are calling the
Gophers one of the finest teams ever
seen in collegiate ranks.
GOpherS Have Veterans.
1T MAY be worthwhile, hangover or
no. to ramble over to Tech on New
Year night. Minnesota's victories over
Long Island U. and New York U. In
Gotham are something that made
basket ball experts sit up and take note.
Dave Macmillan, the old Celtic
player, coaches the Minnesota quint.
His type Of play is similar to that Of
his old teammate, Nat Holman. The
Gophers use the short passing game
and try to work the ball under the
basket. Rarely does Minnesota try
throwing from far points. MacMillan's
theory is that every time his team gets
the ball it should score a basket.
His theory must have worked
out fairly we'll in those New York
games.
The Middle Westerners, who arrive
here today. retain IL of the 13 players
they carried last year. Guard Dick
Seebach was the only member lost,
but now Macmillan has a group of
sophomores who more than make up
for the loss of Seebach. He has 10
or II players Of almost equal ability.
Game Is Faster Now.
RASKET ball is one of those games
most people can take or leave
alone. But now it isn't so easy to
leave 1t alone. It's different game
this year. The rule makers made it
faster -. so fast they now are con-
sidering banking the courts. The CEN
ter Jump is gone. The ball is in play
almost continually and it is estimated
there are 10 or II more actual minutes
OF play in game.
Reinhart, the old Oregon
player, Is one Of the coaches
strongly in favor Of the present
style Of play. Billy was intro
duced to the style 1t Oregon
three years ago.
This Rainhart apparently Is nobody
to take lightly. At Oregon he won

Calls Football . Luxury.
HEY We're told by DR.. John n.
Nichols, director OF athletics at
Oberlin College. that football was "a
luxury sport" at colleges having less
than 1000 students and that the ath-
letic departments at such institutions
should be conducted along the same
lines as any other department-on a
budget responsible to the administra-
ton.
They certainly should not depend on
an overemphasized football program
for their work" Dr. Nichols said. ANY
more than they should depend on
college business men in a small town
who want winning football team to
swell their business receipts"
One Of the changes recommended
by the Rules Committee would bring
the ball in IS yards from the side
lines. instead Of 10, when it goes out
OF bounds or is downed closer than
that yardage to the line. The other
would make a forward pass that In
advertently was touched by an in

mage count as a down instead Of loss

FOREIGN FUNDS
FLOWING T0U. S.
Mild Shift to Investment In
American Securities Hailed
by Brokers.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 3o.-Another
mild inflow Of foreign funds for in.
Veetment In American securities hax
been noted the last few days by
brokers' and foreign exchange traders.
The undeclared war in the Far East
and Britains involvement in the con-
treempS through the shooting of the
Britain Ambassador to China NAV
have had something to do with it.
On the other hand, many observers
believe the recent lethargy in foreign
markets and the technical correction"
that the New York market has UNDER
gone have convinced foreign holders
OF capital there may soon be bargains
IN American securities.
There was little evidence of foreign
buying in last weeks markets, but the
weakness OF sterling indicat d, traders
say, demand for dollars to be held.
perhaps in the form Of bank balances
or Government bills, until the moment
appears to pick up underpriced stocks
with prospects ahead.
one FACTOR IN the situation is that,
with Congress in adjournment. po-
hntlal buyers abroad are no longer
fearsome for the time being of in
creased withholding taxes on their
profits. The prospects of such a PEN
atty. it was recalled, was responsible
IN some degree for the repatriation of
good deal Of capital abroad during
the early Summer.
Another fear was engendered by re-
ports the American and foreign gov
ernments planned some sort of check
on capital movements in an effort to
TAX profits regarded as unreachable.
beiief has grown, however, the British
government would decline to enter
such an arrangement, and traders con-
slder 1t doubtful If others, aside from
france, would find benefit in it.
