Wilson Five Trimmed
In Overtime Battle;
Eastern 1riumphs
By George Huber

Experienced players who carried
Coolidge to both the public high and
Metropolitan scholastic champion
ships last year again have the Colts
on top in this years schoolboy race.
| 1t was ability to play calmly under
fire that gave the Colts their 47-A
overtime win against Wilson last
night as Bob Kleinknecht, Stan
King and Dick Taylor, all veterans
lot last years top quint, sank field
goals in the extra session that
capped the double-header program
at Tech gym.
The victory, following Eastern's
1888 win over Anacestia. was Cool
Iidge's third straight in the series and
temporarily put the Colts in first
place. Tech is expected to join
Coolidge at the top after playing
Western In the 7:30 o'clock opener Of
tonight's twin bill, following which

Substitute Ties Score.
1t was Coolidge's veterans who did
all the scoring in the extra session,
but an inexperienced sub, Tom
Boyle, was responsible for sending
the game into overtime His layup
shot only 10 seconds before the end
of regulation time was his first score
of the year and tied the count at
41-41. Before that exciting end the
usual overflow crowd-firemen again
closed the doors before o'clock
was treated to two tight games.
Kleinknecht, Coolidge center, was
hot. particularly in the first half
during which the Colts worked to
24-22 edge, and altogether he tossed
in 81 points for a record so far this
season. Early in the third period,
Pom Snider's one-hand shot gave
Wilson 27-26 lead, and it remained
in front by a narrow margin there
after until Boyle's late marker tied
up the game. Helping the underdog
Wilson quint all the way was AL
Monaco, who scored 10 points last
night and who still leads the in
dividual scoring race with a a.
point total in three games.

Barring Faded Fighters
BY Grading Is n. Y. Plan
by the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The cam
paign to do away with fighters who
wind up walking on their heels and
hearing make believe bells took a
new twist today with a proposal to
have beak- busters graded like race
horses-on proven ability.
The idea came from DR.. Gillian B.
Powell, member of the New York
State Athletic Commission, and was
given a considerable rundown at
yesterdays weekly meeting OF the
commission, which has been cam
paigning pointedly for year on get
ting punch drunkenness and punch
drunk fighters out of the ring.
The plan, it was felt, would not
only be long jump ahead in that
campaign, but would also be large
step toward eliminating those mis-
matches between fighter who can
hit the jackpot and another who
can only get hit.

he observed today that Les isn't

within four weeks.
The Swedish swiftly, who holds the
world l,000-meter record, made his

annual track and field meet last
night and finished tagging third

It was a great triumph for Mac
Mitchell, who was being relegated

A crowd of lG400. largest ever to
witness an indoor track event in

Skins Plan 10 Get Six
|TiIts Here, Including
Irippii' 5 Cardinals
by IeWD r'7NW"HVH
Star S,cff Ceyrsspendsnt

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-At least four
|knotty schedule problems, about par
for the course, faced National Foot
ball League club owners today as
they finally got around to the ls47
program. Crux of the dispute was
Charley Bidwill's suddenly attractive
Chicago Cardinals. Everybody wants
to play them.
The Cards, who will have Charley
Trippi on their side, had only four
games In their home park last year.
This year they will get five or MIR.
Bidwill will scream for the police.
It means some clubs, such as the
New York Giants, who had seven,
will have to give up one date. Art
Rooney,s Pittsburgh Steelers and
the Philadelphia Eagles, who packed
'em in at Ave games, are clamoring
for six.
Marshall Wants Six Games.
How it will end nobody can say,
except that 1t probably viii be to-
morrow. One thing certain, George
Marshall will have six home games
for the Redskins. He's prepared to
sit it out until he gets them. in
cluding one with the Cardinals.
Marshall engineered one of the
several rules changes adopted yes
terday, persuading his cohorts to let
a team decline the 5-yard penalty
when the opposition takes too much
time. He also Is trying to convince
them that the player limit should
be increased from 80 to IS players.
This is an outgrowth of the plague
of injuries that hit the Tribe last
season and wrecked its title bid
Most important changes agreed on
were, (a) a fifth of1icial: (b) call
ing ball automatically dead when
kick for extra point is blocked,
Co removal of some protection for
kicker who fumbles ball on punt
and I'd forward pass incomplete
behind passing teams goal line
ruled loss of down rather than a
safety.
Eight Plays More Per Game.
Shorty Ray, the leagues technical
adviser, said the changes would add
at least eight plays to a game.
Teams last year established a new
record average of 1917 plays per
game, some Al more than the aver
age college games. Ray also re-
ported that league teams averaged
gains of 545 yards in 1916, as COM
pared with 449 in 1886, even though
penalties averaged rs yards more
per game.
The Redskins have signed John
Backlarz, 6 foot 3, 240-pound tackle
from Arizona. His home town is
Ecorse, Mich. =. The Boston Yanks
added Jim Mello of Notre Dame to
their roster. q. . Club owners listened
to a National Broadcasting Co. S
representative outline plans for tele-
vision broadcast of 1947 games.
And also heard an insurance COM
pany describe q plan for injured
players insurance. San Fran
cisco has been guaranteed-in
writing-the next franchise open in
