SEES BASKET BALL
SAVED BY CHANGE
Erasure of Center Tap-off
Puts Life in Game, Says
Rules Legislator.

BY the Associated Press.
n ASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 20
Elimination of the center
" jump has made basket ball
A faster and more exciting
game to watch and saved" the sport,
Clement M. Eyler, a member of the
National Rules Committee, said today.
Eyler, dean of men at Milligan Col
lege in East Tennessee, advised critics
not to start "howling" about the
change until it has been given a thor
ough tryout. He said it did not tend
to make the sport rougher.
"Of course, I'll admit that there
will be rough games. But the good
ball handlers and the capable coaches
aren't going to throw the ball from
one end Of the floor to the other. And
competent officials will see to 1t that
the defensive team doesn't commit too
many fragrant violations under the
basket after a goal.

Local Folks Go For Hockey.

SPEAKING of the Redskins, Mr..
~ George Marshall gambled and won
a decisive victory on pro football in
Washington. He spent money and
made money and the Capital took to
the Skins. 1t is to wonder, now, why
somebody hasn't stepped up and de-
cided to give hockey fling here.
Mr.. Sam McCallister, a Baltimorean
who runs the Iceland rink, rises to
wave sheet of authentic figures on
how well Washingtonians like the ice
game. It develops that Baltimore
played Hershey a few nights ago and
AL District customers laid it on the
line to help break a Baltimore at
tendance record.
"Close to zoo of them," reports
Mr.. McCallister, "are regular
Sunday night patrons Of the
Eastern League games"
These figures are not to be laughed
at. Mr.. McCallister, f'rinstance, isn't
taking them lightly. Washington must
like ice hockey, even the minor league
brand. All 1t needs is q rink, q team,
league franchise and, Of course,
somebody who Is willing to put up the
do-re-M and gamble On making
money.

McAbee maneuvered his team cody,

of the finest schoolboy flank play
viewed here this season
It was McAbee and Webb who en-
gineered Monroe's first touchdown
drive midway in the first quarter.
Starting at the All-Stars' 34-yard
line, McAbee whipped pass for 10
yards to Webb before inserting some
deceptive running to advance to the
10-yard line McAbee then rifled a
pass to Webb in the end zone for a
touchdown. ~
