isn't going to be such tough propo-
sition after all.
Greenkeeper Fits has progressed
in his work of arranging the fairway
watering system to the point where
he has outlined the limits of the
water around the sixteenth, and he's
left space Of Is or 20 yards di-
rectly behind the green to shoot at.
Every one had thought the water
in Lake STEVENSON would come right
up to the edge Of the green at the
right and at the back.
An overstrong shot will leave

You'll be likely to lose your pretty
little golf ball. Three tees now are
being built for the new sixteenth hole.
A GOOD deal of the improvement
in Helen Dettweiler's golf game
land there's no doubt it's a finished
article now may be traced directly
to Babe Didrikson, the Texas gal
with whom Helen has been travelling
for the past six months.
The Babe is quite golfer, hitter
with plenty of power, and she's put
punch into Helens game that Helen
lacked last year. The Babe herself
isn't eligible to play in the women's
amateur tournaments, but that doesn't
prevent her from playing and prac-
ticing with Helen.
To this fact and the competition
may be traced the very definite i'm
provement in Helen Dettweiler's game,
an improvement that has put her up
in the very forefront of woman golfers
of the land.

BIG TEN APPROVES
CENTER Jump BAN
Other Changes in Basket
Ball Rules Are Debated
by Coaches.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~H1cAGo, March l5.-Discarded
1 by Big Ten basket ball
coaches, the center Jump was
the main topic for considera-
ton today by the National Collegiate
Coaches Association in 4 two-day
meeting here.
Big Ten cage mentors voted unani-
mously last night to abolish the center
jump for = one-year trial period. The
action is effective at the start Of the
1878 campaign. Permanent adop-
ton hinges upon the reaction OF the
coaches.
DR.. H. G. Carlson, president of the
National Coaches Group, said the
center jump would receive serious con-
sideration at the meeting today.
Keen Rules Debate Likely.
COACHES will view motion pictures
of basket ball games and hold a
general discussion Of the rules, with
indications pointing to considerable
debate on abolition of the center jump
and three and 10-second rules
At the end Of their meeting, the
coaches will make suggestions or def
mite recommendations to the national
Basket Ball Rules Committee, which
will meet here Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Action taken by the Big Ten coaches
calls for the center jump only at the
beginning of the game, at the start of
the second half, at the opening of
overtime periods and after double and
technical fouls
On all other occasions, the ball will
be placed in play in the end zone of
the team scored upon, the same pro-
cedure now in effect after a free throw
scored on a personal foul.
Coast Change Followed.
A CI1ON by the Big Ten follows
- that Of the Pacific Coast Confer
ence which officially eliminated the
jump last Winter
Represented at the Rules Committee
sessions Tuesday and Wednesday will
be the National Collegiate Athletic
ASSOCIATION, the National Federation
of High School Athletic Associations
and the Canadian International Ath-
letic Conference and Canadian ANA
teur Basket Ball Association.

Der of the Social Chess Divan as was
stated formerly in this column through q
most grave error.
1t is not the policy of social chess as
countepanced by the Social Chess Divan
to require obligatory membership as pre-
requisite to participation in any city-wide
tournament sponsored by the Metropoli-
tan Chess Association.
However the overhead expenses In all
city-wide Journeys must be met by a
small cover charge for use Of facilities and
both visitors and players at the divan
shall pay the small cover charge of %
cents whenever the divan is used for
chance or tournament play.
When any city-wide tourney is in
progress, members of the divan may
enjoy all privileges as though no
tourney were On the schedule.
