Two foxes were started, but each

disturbed the pack, which has fine

on both occasions its quarry escaped

-Four miles were covered during
the first run, which lasted 80 min

tinued for about IS minutes with
the field going nearly eight miles.
After the second interruption the
hunt gave up for the day.

is tough in Southeastern Conference
football, and If YOU don't believe 1t,
ask the boys who play.
Five of the six juniors who made
all-Southern honors year ago
were back for another try this fall
but only two made the grade. The
rest were showed aside in the surge
of new talent which attracted at
tention of the conference coaches.
The two who MADE it were main
stays of Tennessee's unbeaten, un-
tied football observation-disclosures
Bob Foxx and Tackle Marshall
Shires. A third Tennesseean re-
peated after a years lapse. Bob
Suffridge, one of the great guards
of the Nation, was all-but- -unani-
nous choice of the coaches for the
all-conference team, regaining the
honor he won in 1888. He dropped
from the list last fall when injuries
restricted his play.
Six Teams Provide Stars.
ALI told, six teams contributed the
top-ranking players of the league in
the eighth annual all-conference
selections for the Associated Press.
Alabamas Crimson Tide matched
Tennessee with three men on the
first string eleven, Mississippi State
was next with two, and Vanderbilt.
Mississippi and Auburn followed with
one each.
Foxx, Tenness .e's combination
wingback and tailback, was placed
on the all-conference combine by II
of the u participating coaches. Sec
ond highest was Suffridge, who was
named by 10 Of the IL, and third
was Shires.
So keen was the competition for
all-Southeastern this season that
Ed Molinski, Tennessee's all-Amer-
lea guard of year ago, lost his
place on the conference eleven and
slipped to second string.
Elrod and Rast at End.
For ends this year the coaches
picked Erwin Buddy Elrod, Mis-
issippi States brilliant flankman,
and Holt Rast, hard-hitting Ala
bama star. With Shires at tackle
they placed Fred Davis of Alabama,
and at guard, with Suffr:- -ge. the
honor went to Hunter Corhern of
Mississippi State. vanderbilt's Bob
Guide was overwhelming choice for
all Southeastern center.
Four triple threat performers were
named to the backfield to make one
of the most brilliant arrays Of talent
in many years. No. spot went to

Fairfax Riders Sport Broken
Up, Two Foxes Find Refuge
IAs Rabbit Dogs Foul Hunt

and the Fairfax Hunt still operates
over Ash Grove in covering the 200
odd square miles of land which
makes up the territory assigned to
it when Fairfax formally was or
ganized by the National Steeplechase
and Hunt Association in 1898.
Recognition by the N. s. Fl. A.
came six years after organized hunt
ing was begun in the area adjacent
to the Nations Capital by a band
OF horsemen and horsewomen who
formed the Fairfax Hunt, one of the
founders and the first M. r. H. being
A. Smith Bowman, ST., of Sunset
Hills, who still is an ardent hunter.
Currently serving as Fairfax's
M. F. H. Is Stewart Freece, an Eng
ishman, who came to the United
States 20 years ago equipped with a
wealth of hunting knowledge and
experience gained with the hounds
of Lord Cowdray in Sussex, and the
Ledburg pack in Freezes native
Hereford. He has hunted with
Fairfax 10 years and became master
last season.
Assisting Preece today were
Huntsman E. M. Mabray, w. Carroll
Hunter, honorary whip, and Arthur
Hale, substituting as honorary whip
in the absence of 1t. Charles Parker.
The pack was brought by trailer
from the kennels adjoining The
Downs, the Preece residence, and 10
couples of Virginia and Walker
hounds were cast upon reaching
Cornwall. Woods on the farm Of
John Laylin were drawn and big
red was started.
Crossing Rixey Smiths farm. the
fox set out for the woods at Great
Falls, 4 miles away. and was put in
there 30 minutes later. Hounds were
boiling" on the fox's trail when
group of beagle hounds piled pe1
nell into their midst, disrupting
them, while the pack was disturbed
further when several rabbit hunters
let go with guns as the fox hounds
were running nearby.
Again the hunt drew the Laylin
woods and again 1t started a red.
He crossed Cornwall to the property
of J. H. Somerville. Hounds were
running close to him when they
came upon another group of rabbit
hunters and beagles. The pack got
its head up and did not get back
on the line for some time, the fox,
meanwhile. going into his den.
Among those in the field were Mrs.
Preece, A. Smith Bowman, jr., and
E. De Long Bowman. sons of Fair
fax's first M. F. H.: Robert Graham,

Maybe you don't know it, but
there are more than 80 changes
in the basket ball rules this year,
but only Is worth talking about
and even those were of minor i'm
portance.
j. Dallas Shirley, secretary of the
District Board of Approved Oficials,
who attended the national interpre-
tation meeting in New York recently,
got an earful of which fouls to
call and when during the round
table talk with more than 100
coaches and officials and Oswald
Tower, national commissioner. Shir-
ley will discuss the rules and the new
changes at an open house Friday
night at the Central Y. M. c. A,
and players. officials and fans are
invited to attend.
As Shirley points out, a mere
word has been changed here and
there in the rules, but the revised
rules may decide the outcome of
game.
One item the national conference
failed to dispose of was the per-
picking problem of when is a pick
of" a foul and when is it smart
basket ball. Tower told the boys
to stick to the rules-which they
have not done-and not agree on one
Interpretation in one sector and
another version in another. This
has been a troublesome item in in
tersectional games particularly, and
one which has bothered District
officials when mid Western and
Northern teams have visited this
precinct.
More Important Changes.
Some of the more important
changes in the book follow:
Fan-shaped boards approved and
elimination of corners will give fans
better vision of hoop.
Scorers must notify coach and
captain Of team when team has
had five time outs.
Man who last touches ball before
it goes out of bounds Is one who is
charged with miscue. previously
a man standing on line could touch
it and not be charged with out-of-
bounds penalty because he was con-
sidered out Of bounds when he
touched ball.)
Referee must hand ball to player

Three Points for Win

Urged by Adams
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 30.-Rotund Jack
Adams, manager of the Detroit Red
Wings, came up today with the pro-
posal that the National Hockey
League award three points in the
standings for q victory instead OF
two. Teams playing tie games would
still receive one point.
1t is Adams belief that If three
points are at stake in q game the
teams viii take more chances than
under existing conditions, particu-
larly when a score is tied in the
late stages.
II do not believe that overtime
periods should continue until one
team has broken the tie" Adams
said. I'VE operate on pretty close
train schedules on the road and an
overtime, say Of an hour, would
cause lots of trouble. Also, 1t would
not be fair to the fans If, for exam
pie, we went an hour overtime in
Toronto on Saturday night and then
put a tired team on the ice in De-
troit on Sunday"

Plan Of Last Years S

To Be Retained
Burrows Named Referee,

OF Fat Prize Fund
By ROD THOMAS.

A big but interesting job at hand,
Metropolitan Washington bowling
operators will meet with representa-
tives of The Star tomorrow to make
final arrangements for this papers
18th annual Yuletide Handicap, in
which all but a few of the city S
league rollers will compete during
the week of December 9.
1t Is expected that no important
change will be made in the setup
of the tournament as of last year,
which proved satisfactory in a big
way for all concerned.
Entry blanks to the number OF
10000 will be distributed among
the operators tomorrow along with
some 500 copies of the rules to be
turned over to league secretaries.
It's Nothing Complicated.
The setup is so simple it may be
stated in a paragraph. During the
week of December 9 every league
bowler, man and woman, who shoots
a set automatically will become a
tournament participant. Handicaps
will be based on 128 scratch for men
and 1l8 for women. Twenty-Five
per cent of the bowlers at each
plant will qualify for roll-off to
be held during the days immedi-
ately after Christmas. In the case
of a bowler shooting in more than
one league, the first set rolled dur
ing qualification week will be
counted.
League officials are urged to have
available the averages of their
bowlers in order that handicaps may
be posted on score sheets. Without
this cooperation, conducting the
tournament would be tremendous
task. Incidentally. averages as of
next Saturday will govern handi-
caps with at least Is games neces-
sary to obtain franked sticks.
Operators Sweeten Kitty.
To a prize fund of $500 presented
by The Star, the operators last year
kicked back q nickel on each bowler
who rolled in the final, boosting the
total awards to approximately 81 900
This plan will be submitted to to-
morrow's meeting at O'Donnels. In
addition to the coin, The Star pre-
sents gold medal to the high man
and high woman in the roll-off Give
games for men, three for women.
Dave Burrows, president Of the
Washington City Duckpin Associa-
ton, has been named referee of the
tournament and Arville Ebersole,
executive secretary Of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress, custo-
