Big 10 Accepts
No-Jump Rule
On Floor

CHICAGO, March 15.-Basket-
ball, Big Ten brand, is coming
down to earth.
The conference coaches took a
long-planned step at their annual
meeting yesterday and voted to
abandon the center Jump after a
score is made.
Under the new ruling, to go into
effect next season, the jump will
be used only after the opening OF
the game, the start of the half
and overtime periods and after
technical or double fouls.
At all other times, the ball will
be placed in play from behind the
end line Of the team scored upon
as is now the case after a success
full freethrow following a personal
foul.
The new rule will be tried out
next year and then voted on for
permanent adoption in the an
nual meeting of 1888.
The Big Ten is the second con-
ference to adopt the measure, it
having been successfully tried first
in the Pacific Coast League.
Harold G. Olsen, Ohio State
coach, said past experience indi'
Gates the no-jump speeds up the
game considerably and will make
it more interesting to watch.

Table Tennis Ace
ToPerformHe
In Tourney

Probably the greatest table ten
mis- player in the world. yet one
who never has Won the worlds
singles championship because Of
his craving to please his specta-
tors, will appear here with the In
ternational Table TENS troupe at
Heurich's gymnasium on the eve
ming of March 80.
Laszlo Bellak, the Hungarian
member Of the European team.
three times has been on the verge
of a world title, only to be defeaLed
when he couldn't resist the urge 10
please the crowd.
His first challenge for the title
in 1928 is exemplary Of his SubSe-
ouent antics. In the finals against
a fellow-countryman, z. Mechlo-
Wits, Bellack, playing Sensationally,
quickly won the first two games Of
the five-game match. With the
crowd laughing and delighted at
his somewhat unorthodox style,
Bellak suddenly decided to throw
the third game SC that he could
prolong the match.
The decision cost him the cham.
pionship, for MechlovitS, becoming
as steady as a new machine,
missed nary a shot and capitalized
on Bellak'S tactics to win three
straight games and the title Of
the universe. Since then, despite
his failure to win a final match,
Bellak has proven the delight Of
European crowds. American spec
tators are said to be taking to
him just as jovially as the CONT.
nentals.
Bellak, with standa Kolar Of
Czechloslovakia, current worlds
champion, is representing Europe
against Robert bud" Blattner Of
st. Louis and Sander Glance OF
New York, the Americans, in the
current tour. Here, they will fol-
low the same procedure that they
now employ, playing four singles
and one doubles matches. In the
latter, the Americans apparently
will have an edge as Blattner is
co-holder of the worlds doubles
championship and Glance for
merly shared the same honor.
Tickets, ranging from SO cents
to $1.65, are now on sale at Spald-
ing's. The lowest-price seats are
side-line bleacher rows, while the
highest are side-line chairs on the
court. A few at $1.10 are available

The race is the Louisiana Derby,
$4,000 added money fixtures over
a mile and an eighth which comes
up for decision March 81 at the
Crescent City oval. The horse is
High Lark, deriving his name
from his sire, Blue Larkspur, and
his dam, High Ideal.
High Lark has been doing his
stuff in the colorS of ]. ]. Cough
lin, and doing it well. So keen
have been his performances, in
fact, that he is regarded as one
Of the outstanding prospects for
the Fair Grounds annual classic
for three-year-olds.
In Winning Stride
When High Lark first appeared
under wraps, he fell in winning
stride without fuss or bother.
stepping home in an allowance
event at the Fair Grounds on
January 4, drubbing Honey Cloud,
his nearest contender, by four
lengths. Nine days later, the colt
was stepped up a bit to meet
stronger rivals in another allow
ance affair and stiffened his op-
position to click by six lengths,
with Steel Worker staggering
home behind him. Two weeks
afterwards, High Lark lined up at
the post in his first handicap en-
gagement against nine others and,
with weight of 118 pounds on his
back, drubbed the consistent
Southland Beau by a length. This
marked three straight wins for
an undefeated score. The colt
never ran as a two-year-old.
Doubtful Points
This impressive record is clouded
by only two doubtful points which
have yet to be decided. They are
High Lark'S route-running and
undermining ability. In his three
early triumphS, the Coughlin COL
orbearer Travelled six furlongS on
two occasions and five and a half
furlongS on another, all over hard
and fast tracks. In the third en-
counter when he shouldered 118
pounds, High Lark appeared TO be
more hard pressed than on his
two previous trips to the post
which, it is noticed. he won il
common gallopS.
First At Six Furlongs
On February 6, High Lark was
named to start in his first engage
ment Of over six furlongs, the one
mile fremont Handicap, with a
weight assignment Of lib pounds
but, although the track was fast,
the colt was withdrawn. His first
appearance in mile or over races,
therefore, was shuttled over to
another time.
High Lark is being raced spar.
ingly so as not to burn him out
too rapidly. Trainer r. E. Hefferan
aims to unwind the Blue Larkspur
offspring slowly with just enough
competition to keep him sharp
and ready.

WALPER D. C. GOLF PRO, TO COMPETE IN JON
Charleston
Test Draws
Ace, Too

Leo Walper, Washington pro
fessional who conducts driving
course in Bethesda, has received
an invitation to, and will, compete
in the famous Bobby Jones Mas,
ter Tournament at Augusta, Ga.
This became known today when
a list Of those invited was pub
lished in Atlanta. where Bobby
makes his home.
Before returning home, after a
five months tour Of the winter
golf circuit, Leo also will compete
in the Tournament of the Gar
dens at Charleston, S. c., which
will be staged after the Masters
event.
Competed in Tourney
Walper, leaving here last No
vember, competed in Journeys in
the Carolinas and Florida before
going to the Coast. From the
Coast he went to Texas, and then
to Florida, where he is now COM
peting.
Off to a good start in the earlier
events Of the winter circuit, Leo
was hit with the flu in California
and missed four Of the five major
events. In the fifth, the Los
Angeles Open, he finished tenth.
It was after that event that he
was taken i'll with the flu. He
missed, among others, the Oakland
and Sacramento Opens and the
San Francisco match play tourney.
He recovered enough, however, to
compete in the Bing Crosby
Amateur.Pro, in which event he
finished twelfth as an individual
golfer to take a cash prize.
Leo finished twelfth in the Hous-
ton (Tex.) Open and from the
Texas city went to brownsville,
Ca, for the open there. In this
latter tourney he finished fifth.
After the brownsville event Leo
moved along with the other profeS-
SIGNALS into Florida. His first day
there he strained his back with the
result that he was unplaced in the
Hollywood Open.
Walper moves to st. Augustine,
Fla, for the st. Augustine Open
which starts Wednesday. From
there he will go to Augusta, then
to Charleston and then back to
Washington.
Assured Of Invite
Professional golfers, among
them Leo Diegel, Tommy Armour,
Craig Wood, Johnny Revolta and
Charlie Snead have been high in
their praise of Walper'S golf this
winter. They say he has been
hitting the ball with crispness
and otherwise has been proving
up in such a manner that he has
assured himself of an invitation
to the Masters Tournament.
Mrs. WaIper. who Travelled the
winter circuit with her husband.
has Just returned home and an
nounces that the driving course
will be open today. She reports
increased interest in golf through
out California, Texas, Georgia,
G11G A04 Ou4dSS d44A H4O4A06S
Mrs. Walper says:
'The 1936-'S7 winter season
circuit golf has been the best
we have ever had. Fields we're
faster in every tourney on the
circuit and spectator interest
increased enormously over that
shown in 1886.
ut is my opinion that the
longer winter circuit is here to
stay. Clubs on the Coast, in
Texas, Georgia, the CarOlinas
and Florida, all split better than
even on the Journeys, a good
sign that winter circuit golf
can stand on its own feet as an
enterprise"
