Horse Racing
 Wires Attacked

Washington. January 5. - CUP) - The War Communications Board requests telegraphic and telephone industries to reclaim manpower and facilities now being used for diSsem- ination of racing information virt- ually may eliminate bookmaking in the United States on tracks operat- ing in Cuba and Mexico, racing authorities believed today.
 The board states that there is no justification for the continued operation of domestic communica- ton facilities" for dissemination of racing information. It stressed, however. that the action was not in- tended to prevent newspapers and recognized press association from continuing to use communication facilities flor collecting and dis tributing general news service in- cluding racing information.
 The federal communications com mission supported the board in the move designed apparently to strip racing wire services of their facili- ties.
 The communications board said it also opposed private leasing of any circuits between the United States and foreign points for the collection and distribution of racing informa- ton outside the country.
 Communications companies were asked to report within two weeks what steps had been taken to con- ply with the government request.

Six Football Rules Backed
By GLEN PERKINS

[
 New York, Jan. 5 --(UPD- The Eastern Intercollegiate Football aS- sociation today recommended to the Football Rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic asso- citation the adoption of six rule changes which were used with great success" by the ETA during the l944 season.
 Asa S Bushnell, commissioner of the EIFA. boiled the athletic direc- tors and football coaches of the aS- sociation's 30 member colleges and found large majorities of each group in agreement that the modi- fled playing rules as used in the east last year were highly beneficial to the game.
 The rules were adopted at meet ing in New York last fall, prior to the start of the grid season and were used under "gentlemen's agreement" arrangement in games between member schools.
 They provided for:
 1. Prohibit use of out of bounds kickoff
 2. Permit use of one-inch artifi- | cial tee for kickoff.
 3. Lessen severity of penalties for l illegal forward pass when made be- yond line of Scrimmage (reduce to five yards from spot, down count ing) and when made by team which did not put ball in play by scrim- mage (reduced to five yardS).
 4. Clarify the off-side rule 0. e., return to previous rule, by eliminat- ing provision that penalty be ex- acted in certain circumstances whether or not ball is snapped.
 5. Permit all fumbled balls to be advanced by opponents.
 6. Permit forward passing from any point behind line of scrimmage.
 The executive comIpittee of the ETA also recommended that the rules committee adopt two further alterations in the playing code. Its first recommendation called for more rigid restriction of the use of arms on the offensive by allowing players of the team in possession of the ball to obstruct opponents OiIlJ II lllSh IidAido anu lOACdAHl 3 be held against the body. The rule presently stipulates only that the hands be close to the body. The second recommendation called for easement of the penalties for run ming into the kicker and roughing the kicker by eliminating the auto matic girst down following these infractionS and assessing only the specified yardage.
 The ETA executive committee also went on record as being opposed to the recent suggestion which emanated from the midwest that football games be measured in number of plays instead of in num- Der of minutes available for compe- tition.
 Bushnell said the ETA was con- yinced that the experimentation last fall established as definitely successful the proposed changes.
 The ETA rules produced more enjoyment for players and more interest for spectators" he said, and did so without sacrificing and safeguards for participants and without creating any other disad- yantages, Our association hopes that the rules committee will meet soon to give attention to the needs of collegiate football and that on this occasion it will see fit to adopt the innovations which we have tried and found worth while"

ARNOLD CHOICE OVER
 zIVIC TONIGHT
By JACK CUDDY United Press Stan Correspondent

New York. Jan. 5:-CUP)-In a battle of strange contrasts. Cpl F'ritzie Zivic. former welterweight king. will hammer out his farewell to the ring tonight at Madison Square Garden. opposed to brown skinned Billy Arnold, a Philadelphia high school boy whose youth necessi- tated pairing the bout to eight rounds.
 Zivic approaching 32 and vet eran of IA years of busy leather tossing, squares of against com parative novice who is only 18; but that broad-shouldered. sharp-fea- tured Negro novice is favored at 3-1 to make Fritzie's swan song" dis cordant one.
 Corporal Zivic on furlough from Normoyle Field. Tex. has announced that this will be his last profess sional fight He is hanging up his gloves because he expects to be shifted overseas and because he soon will undergo an operation to straighten his battered nose,
 Arnold the first high school boy ever to fight a main event at the Garden, was favored because the ex- perts figured ancient Zivic had faded too much for his experience to off, set Billy's youth and dynamite. Arnold stands out as the most prom ising youngster in any division. Be- cause of his paralyzing hooks, he has ben called "a brown Berlen- bach" He has knocked out 29 of g professional opponents. Only one draw mars his record.
 Strong Arm
 Zivic squares of for his l4th Gar den main event claiming confidence that his ringcraft and his powerful arms will nullify Arnold'S hooking attack, just as they did with another great Negro hooker, Henry Arm strong. in the same ring Oct. 4, l940 That was the night when Pittsburgh FritZie wrested the welterweight crown from hammer Henry, whom he knocked out in a return bout three months later
 The corporal expects to scale about l50 pounds. probably two more than Philadelphia Billy. Zivic claims to be in excellent condition as a re- suit of his activities as boxing in structor and his eight bouts since joinging the Army nine months ago. He registered six knockouts and took one decision. He lost a verdict to Tommy Roman
 The bout originally was scheduled for 10 rounds; but Chairman John J. Pnelan of the boxing commission ruled yesterday that it must be limited to eight because of Arnold's youth One must be at least 20 to fight 10 rounds in New York state, he said.
 A crowd of 1900 and a gate of $45 900 are expected.
