Vines Is Likely
Golfer Unless
BudgeCoo|s
Don Wins So Easily
Fans Fail to Get
Moneys Worth
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Aasociated Press Sports Writer,

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-ASSuming
that he was in earnest about quitting
tennis and devoting himself to golf
in case he found Don Bulge too
tough for him, Ellsworth Vines has
the permission of 16,725 witnesses to
wire home and have somebody start
oiling up his golf sticks.
For Bulge gave the veteran an
unmerciful lacing in their first pro-
fessional match last night in Madi-
son Square Garden, winding it up in
so minutes by scores of 6-3, Ga,
60, and in the opinion of most of
those who watched the slaughter
Bulge is more than likely to turn
their countrywide tour into rout.
Vines entered the opening en-
gagement an active 3-5 favorite in
the lobby betting. He was conf
IDENTIFY expected to give the redhead
a lesson and NOV him down with the
famous Vines forehand. He came
out of it profoundly shocked by the
evident superiority of his opponent
Vines Sure He'll Improve.
HE was simply much too good for
me tonight" he said. Il guess I
didn't know quite how good Don had
become. However, I'll do better with
little practice"
Bulge, perfectly at home under
the lights, had little more difficulty
handling Vines than he experienced
the past year in sailing down the
worlds amateurs. Egged on by sew
eral bull -throated admirers in the
mezzanine who exorted him to
Come on. Red" he pitched his
game so high that Vines never had
a chance to get started.
Last night, under Budge's wither-
ing fire, Vines backhand went COM
pletely to pieces, his forehand
worked only in streaks, and after
the first few games his vaunted serv-
ice didn't bother Bldge at all. Some
one suggested in the dressing room
that Vines simply had been of his
game.
Crowd Is Displeased.
Sure, he was off," said Bruce
Barnes, a member of the troupe
But it was Bulge who put him of.
Boy, hadn't believed Don was that
kind of tennis player, but sure
believe 1t now"
Last nights crowd didn't come
near getting its 81, ,120 worth, and
didn't hesitate to say so when Alice
Marble tried to put in a word over
the microphone about the bully ten
mis- that had been played.
Vines wasn't missing his shots by
inches, but by yards. Bulge played
just about the same game he has
been playing all along. His back
hand was deadly. as usual, and his
forehand steady. After watching
him work on Vines, it is small Won
der the amateurs couldn't cope with
him. He's worth every cent of the
$4,000.
In the doubles Vines and Barnes,
old partners, easily trimmed Bulge
and Dick Skeen, 6-1, Ga. Skeen
beat Barnes, 60, Ga, in the pre-
liminary singles.

Brewers Will Stick

Development of strictly local tai

IN American Basket Ball League
ranks, today was cited as the future
policy of the Heurich Brewers by

Some of our players still have
not adjusted themselves to the pro-

"but most of them will. That comes
only through long association. We
may add a player of drop one oc-
casionally, but I see no necessity for
going out of town for replacements.

right here in Washington to build

this city will become a real profess
sional basket ball center"

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 4.-The
Commercial Appeal says it has
learned that Texas Christian Uni
versity all-conquering football team
has challenged the University of
Tennessee to post-season game to
settle "the national championship. !"
The story said the entire Tennessee
team, which Monday defeated
Oklahoma in Miami's Orange Bowl,
stood ready to 60 through with the
contest and there is certain to be
some strong persuasive measures
used on Head Coach Robert Neyland.
At Miami, Fla, John Barnhill,
assistant Tennessee football coach,
said a New York promoter had
broached the idea of national
championship" game with Texas
Christian, but the Volunteers had
received no challenge from the
Horned Frogs.
Barnhill said Neyland received q
telegram from the promoter, whose
name Barnhill did not remember,
before leaving on a fishing trip.
Neither school, Barnhill said, had
made any move toward such a con-
test.
At Fort Worth, President e. M.
Waits of Texas Christian University
said he knew nothing of the pur-
ported challenge and oppressed doubt
it had been made.
Leo Outch) Meyer, head football
coach, and other grid officials were
en- route from New Orleans, where
the Horned Frogs beat Carnegie
Tech in the Sugar Bowl Monday,
and could not be reached.

Code Change Seen
As Adding Variety
To Aerial Game
Hitting Ineligible Man
Now Costs Down Only,
Reducing Screening
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Jan.
4.-Football fans probably will be
treated next season to some varia-
tions of one of the games most spec
tacular plays-the forward pass.
Qualified observers predicted that
as result of two minor changes in
rules made by the National Rules
Committee in closing its yearly
session at Broadmoor yesterday
there will be greater use of the
Shovel" or short pass back of the
line Of scrimmage, and far less
screening" on long aerials.
One revision will help the offen-
sive team. This provides that if an
ineligible player is hit by forward
pass, the penalty shall be loss of
down and Is yards, instead of loss
Of the ball.
The other change will aid the
team defending against passes. It
will require that all ineligible players
stay In the 3-yard zone" at the
line of scrimmage until after a pass
is thrown, thus reducing the number
Of players going downf1eld.
There won't be fewer potential
pass catchers, but there will be
fewer to screen" the pass against
opposing players.
Lou Little Of Columbia, president
Of the American Football Coaches
Association, termed the committees
decision "a fine progressive step for
offensive football"
The committee, cutting short its
sessions a day ahead of schedule,
also gave thought to greater safety
for the player. It decreed the foot
ball warrior must wear thicker pads
at thigh and knee, must wear a
headguard at all times and his cleats
must be enlarged to q half-inch In
diameter at the end.
The committees statement, pre-
pared by Chairman Walter R.
Okeson, recommended "cleats be
made of soft rubber, carrying a post
which screws into the sole Of the,
Shoe"
unless some change occurs in the
present cleat construction" the COM
mittee added, which will prevent
cleats from chipping or coming OF
while in use, the above recommends
ton will be made mandatory"
