StIRRIN' ¥ the DOPE By VEDDER QABD

mHE recent agitation concerning the •'stalling” game in basketball has raised the old question of whether or not It would be a good thing to do away with the dribble—or, at least, allow only one bounce. There is no doubt about the “stall” being legal according to present rules. There Is also no doubt about it being unpopular with the spectators. The public must be considered. The larger schools might be able to get along with only students at the contests, but in most instances the outside fans are needed to keep the game going. It would be very difficult, almost impossible, for a team to keep possession of the ball and “stall” if the no-dribble rule were put into effect. It is surprising how many college and high school coaches favor this drastic change. This same question has arisen before, and a number of leading mentors were strong for the innovation. Now the matter has been relived again because of the “stall” angle. This gives the no-dribble agitation another leg to stand on. The main argument for It before was that it would do away with a great deal of the roughness. Most of the personal contact at this time comes from the practice of fast dribbling. It is almost impossible to play the game according to rules, because of the dribble. Two objections, roughness and “stalling,” would be done away with if the rules were revised so that a man was allowed to bounce the ball only once, or not at all. • • * There seems to be something In a name at that. Nurmi, a race horse from the Oreentree stable, won the New Orleans Handicap Saturday and earned his owners $32,000. Tills thoroughbred is not an amateur although he might be called a “Finnish” animal. It was his great courage shown at the finish—or stretch, if you please —that brought victory. * * • rryjOT all the basketball grief I I these da y ß goes to the ofl J ficials. The fans are scattering their “favors” and some of the high school coaches are being told how to run their clubs. We know of two leading teams in which outsiders have been Interfering. The coaches, however, ha ie been sticking to their guns with courage and at present are making some of the critics back-water. Officials are used to the razz and can stand it. It seems almost traitorous, however, for the -townspeople to “get on” the coaches. If they just wouldn’t take the sport so seriously! After all, it Is only a game. • • • The French are perturbed. They fear Mile. Lenglen, great tennis star, will be lost to France if she marries the Duke of Westminster. “That’s just like the English,” says a Paris publication. “They always want the best of everything. If this thing keeps up we’re going to read some day that the Duchess of Westminster triumphed over the \ French.”

It’s just one “M” after another for Molenda, the sophomore athletic wonder of Allchlgan University. "Bo,” as every one knows, was a rip-snortin’ full back. He is starring now in' basketball. Next spring he probably will pitch for the baseball team. He showed great promise as a hurler on the freshman squad. • • • looks as though Coach I J "Doc” Mean-well of WleconL—J sin is going to get his wish. While attending the State high school basketball tournament here l&st March, the noted mentor was reported as saying, "Give me my pick, and I believe I'd take Firman Wampler of Vincennes. He’s a basket hawk of wonderful abilily." Down at Vincennes, the goodlooking, dark-haired youth is working this winter in Coach Adams’ eat shop. He is saving his money and. according to present plans, will enter Wisconsin University next fall. ‘‘Doc” is going to get his wish, it seems, Technical and Manual are playing real basketball these days. Between the two we prefer Manual. If Tech could play all its games on the local- Y. M. C. A. floor the Green and White might win the title. The east side boys sure are tough in that gym. They beat a real outfit when Comiersville was set down Saturday. * * SHE Saturday night Big Ten basketball' games ran true to form with* lowa defeating Minnesota and Ohio State downing Chicago. Both home teams won. It will take a great upset tonight to keep Michigan from moving into a tie for first place with the Badgers. Minnesota, which seems to have one of the weaker teams In the Western Conference race, is at Michigan. The Gophers are occupying the cellar at this time along with Northwestern. After tonigljt they are likely to reign supreme in the dismal depths as Michigan mounts to even terms with Wisconsin at the top. * • • |\ y r 110 remembers way back W "* ien the giants used to Join the side-shows? Now, they become basketball centers. The latest “high-pockets” is “Bones” Theron Jones, former star of Salt Lake City (Utah) University, who has signed with Washington in the American pro league. He is 6 feet 5J* inches tall. Some of these days they’re going to have to raise the baskets.

SEVEN CONTESTS ON BIG TEN BASKETBALL SLATE THIS WEEK

LENGLEN FAVORITE IN MEET Suzanne 11 to 3 Choice to Win Carlton Singles— Helen Wills Entered. HELEN CUTS LOOSE Bu United' Press CANNES, France, Feb. B.—Miss Helen Wills, American tennis champion, electrified fans here today by opening up a sensational brand of tennis with which she defeated Mi*s Ethel Frischer in two love sets in the opening play of the Carlton tournament. Bu UnitH Press ■ : CANNES, France, Feb. B.—By virtue of her victory in the mixed doubles Sunday over Helen Wills, American champion, Suzanne Lenglen, the French tennis ace. Is a 11-to-3 favorite in . the Carlton Club tournament opening today. Miss Wills, practicing during the morning on the partly shaded court with which she already is familiar, said she was not discouraged at the 6*l, 6-2 setback she and her partner, C. F. Aesciiliman, sustained at the hands of Mile. Lenglen and Baron Henri De Morphugo in the Nice tourney. Expected interest in the first meeting of the two tennis champions failed to materialize because of the frequent errors made by botli their male partners. An analysis of the two sets shows Miss Wills apd Mile. Lenglen accounted for 34 errors, as compared to 46 by their partners. The high point of excitement in the match came In the third game of the second set when from 0-15, Miss Wills ran out her service to take the lead, 2-1. She and her partner then played a lobbing style and lost five straight games, deuclng only one. Carlton mixed doubles, but she will play In the women’s doubles.

GRID TANGLE Grange Threatens Pro War With New League. Bu United Press DETROIT, Feb. B.—As the National Professional Football League convention adjourned here late Sunday representatives of eight cities met with Harold (Red) Grange and discussed plans for a wholly new circuit. After an informal meeting, the Illinois star, whose application for a franchise for the New York Yankee stadium was held over for action by the National League until its July meeting at Philadelphia, announced a second meeting of the new league proponents would be held at Chicago a week from next Wednesday. Grange is understood to be piqued over the delayed action on his franchise application. Management of the New York Giants were reported his only opponent. He has leased the Yankee stadium for five years and insisted “we will play, regardless of whether or not we get a franchise from the National League.”

MANY CHOOSE SAVAGE TO BEAT MULHOLLAND

Local Fans Who Saw Jim Box Friday Say He Is Dangerous—Wednesday Show Attracts.

Seems as though George Mulholland, local heavyweight who recently turned pro, is in for a lively evening at Tomlinson Hall, Wednesday, when he tangles with Jira Savage, youthful heavy of Chicago’s west side, in the ten-round main event of the National A. C. show, Many Indianapolis ring fans were in East Chicago last Friday to see Merle Alte battle Doc Snell and Jim Savage was on the same card in a six-round scrap with Battling Gus Brandt. Savage won decisively on points and the majority of the Indianapolis “bugs” present returned home and predicted he would outscore Mulholland.

McCoy was called the world’s worst middleweight. and he had no trouble successfully defending the title. On April 7, 1914, Chip and Mo Coy were matched to battle ten rounds at Brooklyn. And thereby hangs a tale, a tale which has not, to my recollection, been told before. Chip was not originally matched with McCoy. He went in

NEW MARKS Miss Brooks Queen of Ice — Bialis Shines. Bu United Press . MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Feb. 8. With world records in the mile, 440 and 880 and a first in the 220, Miss Leila Brooks of Toronto won the women’s honors at the international skating meet here. Valentine Bialis of Lake Placid won the men’s honors with first In the half and three-quarter miles, second in the five mile and one-miie and third in the two-mile events. Clas Thunberg, Finnish skater, failed by 3 1-5 seconds to lower the 24-year-old world record for the mile in an exhibition race against time Sunday. Thunberg’s time was 2:451-5, compared with 2:42, established in competition at Montreal by Johns Johnson of Minneapolis In 1889. After the Finn’s exhibition, he was presented with a silver loving cup by Commodore R. M. Ross of the Detroit Masonic Country Club, under whose auspices the meet was held.

as a substitute for his younger brother, Joe. It was this way: Jimmy Dime managed the Chips. Joe previously had fought McCoy and had punched him stupid. George, then the champion, never had shown in the New York district. Jimmy wanted to get him started there, figuring he would fight himself into some important dough. So he wired the Brooklyn promoter as follows: , “Joe is sick. Can let you have George, the champion, at same terms.” Naturally the promoter was agreeable. So was McCoy, who had little to say about It anyway, being considered lucky to have a place on the card. What followed was a terrible shock to Dime and an even more terrible shpek to Chip. McCoy, the clown, the impossioie, knocked out Chip, the champion—in LESS THAN ONE ROUND. Call it what you will, a miracle, a whim of fate, or sheer carelessness on the part of a champion,’ but the result brought a legitimate championship to a battler whose

NURSING HOFF TO RECORDS Norwegian Has Pole Vault Mark at Mercy—Higher Each Time. Bu Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. B.—Having twice broken the World's .indoor record for the pole-vault, Charley Hoff, versatile Norwegian, athlete, is ready to do it all on his next appearance, Hoff’s ambition, however, is to achieve victories over American opponents at middle-distance .running. He is so entirely in a class by himself at pole-vaulting that he would like to add some triumphs on the boards before he returns to Norway. The Norwegian • will be here until spring, competing in a number of indoor meets and later outdoors in California. His three months' stay will end in April. It is apparent that officials in charge of the indoor meets in which he is appearing are “nursing" him along with an eye to gate receipts. At the Millroße games the bar was put at 13 feet 1 inch and the Norwegian, without removing his “sweat clothes,” cleared It by at least six Inches. That was adjudged sufficient for one performance. In Boston, two nights later, tho bar was raised to 13 feet I*4 inches, and Charles again cleared It with six Inches to spare. Hoff expressed the opinion that he could clear 13 feet 6 inches, but the bar was not raised. Thus, there will be an opportunity for spectators at the next indoor meet to see the Norwegian again break a world’s record, something that is always a powerful box-office argument with the American public.

skill hardly qualified him for preliminary fighting. There is not much to tell of the fight itself. The knockout came after one minute and forty seconds. Chip immediately assumed the aggressive ami began scoring with light punches to the head. McCoy made awkward attempts to block and aat Intervals ventured a swinging punch that missed its objective by many inches. Wrestling loose from a clinch, Chip cut loose with his first real blow of the round, a left to the Jaw. In some manner or otlyr McCoy, also swinging a left, managed to beat the champion to the punch, and it went home, a solid belt to the point of the Jaw. Chip fell on his back, his head striking the floor with great force, and he was unable to rise at ten. Dime and two other seconds carried him to Ills corner, where he sat, still dazed, for several minutes.
