Recent Charges by College Presidents Reawaken Interest in Problem. By Paul W. White, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Coincident with discussion of possible technical changes in football, poaches and athletic directors of leading universities meeting here this week are faced with suggestions to minimize the importance of football in collegiate life. Whether the sport is commercialized is a question sharing unwilling attention with such problems as whether the huddle and shift plays should be eliminated. Recent charges by the presidents of West Virginia Wesleyan University and Union College that amateur football is tending more and more toward the professional class has reawakened interest in the problem. Curtailment Urged Dr. Jesse F. Williams, professor of physical education at Teachers College, Columbia University, chairman of a special committee, has made recommendations to the society of directors of physical education which provide severe curtail,ment of intercollegiate athletics. Dr. Williams’ survey was spread over a three-year period. His most provocative proposals follow That coaches be made members of factulties. That college presidents and their administration stall's be given complete control of athletics. That athletics be conducted strictly aeeord ng to a prepared budget. That intercollegiate contests between freshmen be prohibited. That ail scholarships to athletes be made public. That varsity participation he limited to juniors and seniors. Dr. Williams said h'e believed, however, that the college game had not been swayed extensively by professionalism. His recommendations for the most part, he explained, were prompted by the desire to have more and more students engage In varsity play. Benefits Listed The committee, headed by Dr. Williams, found that fourteen worthy objectives such as team play, clean living, discipline and hard work, were gained by football playThe meeting today of the American Football Coaches' Association was expected to engender discussion of the proposed new shift riro, which would necessitate a two-second stop on all plays in which a player or players move from one position to another. Although the coaches, in favoring the regulation, cannot make it gridiron law, their judgment usually finds favor with the intercollegiate rules committee which will make the final decision. Effect of such a ruling would be drastic, even more so than a sini ilar rule proposed by the Western Conference. The latter would apply only to the so-called shift plays, while the suggestion made here alsotwould apply to the flying-end, the decoy back, and virtually would eliminate the huddle system of calling signals.

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP By Lefty Leo

Tonight at midnight the final entry for the classic to be rolled on the Century Alleys will have been turned in and on Saturday and Sunday the State’s leading bowlers will compete for many valuable prizes. Webb Wallace is a veteran at handling affairs of this kind and in closing the entry a feW days before the meet starts can carry out his idea of announcing a complete prize list before a ball is shot. This, we believe, should prove popular with every bowler who has entered. In th* Terre Cotta League games, rolled on the Y. M. C. A. alleys, the Pencil Pushers arid Daub Knockis won all three from the Mud Hens and Plaster Shop respectively. Montigue of the Pencil Pushers’ team carried off high single game and high total for three games when he rolled; games of 168, 185 and 207, for a total of 560. In tlie Western Electric league two-out-of-tluee games ruled when the Shop and Grnyhar teams downed the Warehouse and Office boys over this route. Sliertier of the Shop team reached high spot in this loop when lie rolled 211 in his maiden effort. The large Rotary No. 1 League held its weekly session at the Capi tol alleys and the usual "pep" was on tap. The Ester Hr.", Tavlor and Field teams were aide to, take all three of their games from the Lennox, Shafer and Churchman outfits, while the McMurray, Reitzells, Clark and Schroeder boys were winning two out of three from the Henley.

Angst, £lder and Murr combinations. Buschman of the Taylor team was in .fine form and turned in games of 245, 218 and 172 for a total of 635. Sixteen v games of better than 200 were rolled, the 245 of Buschman again being high. It finally has happened. In Rotary No. 2 League tho Emrich team had one lone man on the alleys, the balance, of his team being members of the "blind’’ family. While this boy lost all three of his games, he deserves credit for shooting, at least. The match we refer to is the Weaver three-time win over the Emrich team. The Laird squad also returned a three-time winner in this loop, downing the Carroll team. The results in the Eastern League games were all decided over the •vvo-oiil-of-three route, the Sacks, Fords and Miraclean boys downing the Egan, Eastern and Carr Auto Sales. M. Waren had higli game in tills session vyhen lie reached 228 in his final effort. Tho Automotive League games rolled on the Illinois alleys resulted in a three tune win for the Wallerieh boys, while the team was copping two out of three from the Baxters. The opponents of the Marmon 75s will have to shoot plenty of pins when they roll against their spores later. Wicks of the Losey-Nash team grabbed off all high honors when he rolled games of 178, 196 and 245 for a total of fiJ9.

BREACH OF CONFIDENCE CHARGED BY LEONARD \ % Dutch Says Landis Led Him to Believe There Would Be No Scandal Publicity.

Bu United Press FRESNO, Cal., Dec. 29.—“ Dutch" today stirred up more gossip in tho Cobb-Speaker baseball seand il through his denial that he had been paid $20,000 or any other sum for letters or information concerning the “thrown game” of 1919. Leonard, in his statement Tuesday night, hinted at a breach of confidence concerning his “revel&tions,” saying he had understood from Judge Txindis that there would be no publicity connected with any statement he might make regarding Cobb and Speaker. He charges Judge Landis had broken the "agreement." N ”1 feel that at this time, because certain misstatements and various versions of this affair, I should set right the minds of the public on several points at issue,” Leonard said. Tells of Settlement “When I presented a claim against the Detroit baseball club in Chicago, in June, 1926, to the proper authorities for damages sustained for loss of salary, those authorities after a full hearing determined my claim was just and valid and settled the full amount. I received money from the Detroit Itasebalh Club for this claim only. I never received any money directly or indirectly for any letters or any information in my possession. “On the contrary, I refused re-

ALREADY, thousands of enthusiastic motorists are l advising their friends to use Energee DETONCfX Gasoline. They have tried DETONOX —have used it long enough to know what a marvelous gasoline it really is. Read what just a few of these drivers say:** Non-Detonating: From West Virginia: “I find DETONOX is a strictly anti-knock fuel, and believe me these West Virginia mountains will make most motors knock.” Quick Starting: From a Western Ohio farmer: “I used to have lots of trouble starting my old 1923 Ford—even with my wife helping me; I got some of your DETONOX and now I can start my car in a hurry and without any help.” Lightning Acceleration: From Springfield, Ohio: “The old bus has come to life again; it has lots of pep and a quick get-away. I don’t follow anyone now when I step on it!” Giant Power: From a garage owner in Indianapolis: “I started out from South Bend towing a heavy chassis. I’d heard of this new gas so at Logansport I drained my tank and filled up with DETONOX —I took hills on ‘high,’ with my heavy tow, that I could barely make before, running light. I could hardly believe it possible that there could be such a difference in gasoline!” More Miles: From Pittsburgh: “I get four miles to a gallon more on DETONOX than on other good gasolines”; and from an automobile dealer in Lima, Ohio: “After a thorough trial we are pleased to note that we receive threg more miles to the gallon than we have been receiving on other gasoline. Clean Burning: From Portsmouth, Ohio: “DETONOX Gasoline positively will cut carbon deposits. My big, heavy car climbs Timmonds Hill—all three turns—on high.” I ,j Safe: ■’ No testimony is needed to prove that DETONOX is safe for you and your motor: it is pure gasoline save for a minute particle of harmless red dye. ) The merits which others are discovering in DETONOX we believe you will find, too. Give DETONOX a fair trial—Yow be the judge. Ask for it by name at “Pure Oil Blue” Pumps.

quests of Judge Landis and others to go East to give testimony involving any players in any irregularities. Some weeks after the settlement was agreed, I surrendered those letters to baseball authorities wiien the authorities convinced me of the duty which I owed the Detroit team and the baseball world in general to help verify and clear up certain rumors and informtaion which they previously had in their possession.” . He Was Lending Assistance “I was told, and believed, that by so doing I would be lending assistance in clearing up certain existing conditions, detrimental to the good of baseball and that I could do so without the conditions and circumstances becoming public. “In making this statement I am not calling any one ‘blackmailer’ or ‘Judas.’ Those terms are only uses! when one has no facts to sustain one’s position and hence is forced to resort to epithets of like character. “I refrained from giving these facts, as I feared by so doing I might be injuring the standing of baseball. I feel this is my last statement, as it does not seem to the best interests of the baseball world in general to go into this or other occurrences in any great length or detail.”
