Off the BACKBOARD * By EJtSAACS I

■jl/rUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 27.—Mr. Robert Yohler, that six foot four inch young fellow who performs at center for the state champion Muncie Bearcats, was in fine fettle here Thursday night as he led his team to a 29 to 21 triumph over that always-dangerous Martinsville outfit. Mr. Yohler Wednesday night had “it,” “them,” “those” and a little of “that” as he bucketed nine field goals during the thirtysix and one-half minutes of action.

The other three and a half minutes were used by Bob Parr, the Bearcats’ husky backguard, who elected to stand under his own basket with ball tucked under his arm, late in the last half as the Artesian Ci t y . players waited at the other end of the court and conversed about this.

In addition to building up a defense for expected California passes, Georgia Tech has demonstrated its readiness to meet everything California has shown in past games. The Tech reserves went through the Bears’ plays and seemed to have them down pretty well. The southerners have not revealed much concerning their offensive plans, but what they have used in practice was fast and showed that the Tech linesmen know how to charge.

ping all the night’s glory for Muncie, Martinsville’s Suddith was doing a very good job of convincing the Bearcat followers that his team was quite capable and apt to cause more than a little trouble around tournament time. Suddith is the Suddith of old. He has speed to bum and came galloping down the floor several times here Wednesday ' night like a ton of dynamite. a a a The figures tell the story. Martinsville took twenty-seven shots at the iron hoop during the game and registered eight field goals.

Eubanks, Martinsville's tall younv pivot man, dropped in two goal* Suddith heaved one through the meshes and Williams added another in that same initial session. Those goals added to the Artesians’ four free throws and Muncie’s one gave the visiting outfit a 12-to-ll advantage as the gun ended the hostilities for the time being. a a a Back on the floor trotted those Bearcats at the resumption of play and Mr. Yohler immediately went under the basket on followups twice in rapid succession and Muncie was in the lead, never to be headed. a a a MR.

Grid Leaders to Take Part in Arguments Coaches to Discuss Radical Proposals of Rule Alterations. By Tims Special NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 27. Several important discussions will take place here Friday when the Football Coaches’ Association holds its annual meeting in conjunction with the convention of the National Collegiate A. A. One of the most radical proposals in football history will be brought up by Glenn Warner, Stanford coach ,who is in favor of determining the winner of grid games by first downs. Warner wishes to have each first down registered as a point. Another important proposal will be that of continuing the third quarter where it ended at the close of the second period. A heated discussion is expected to take place on that proposition. One other drastic reform suggested is to have the length of games determined by plays and not by time. A move to bring the goal posts back to the goal lines also is said to be up for consideration by the coaches’ organization. M’GILL DOWNED By I'llilet! Press NEW YORK.

1 2ven to be given a major league try- • out this spring. And thereon hangs a baseball yarn. “Burned Up” Circuit Two seasons ago. Reese and his side-kick in the Oakland infield, Lynn Lary, were stars of the Coast league. Asa snappy keystone combination and hard hitters as well, they burned up the circuit and at least five major league clubs bid for them—and said it in six figures. A year ago the Yankees outbid Will Wrigley Jr., and some of the other loose - walleted magnates among the major league owners, and paid $150,000 for Reese and Lary, the stipulation being that the youngsters were not to be delivered until 1929. Delivery of the Oakland keystone kids was not to be made until next spring, since the Yanks at the time enjoyed the apparently satisfactory services of Mr. Mark Koenig and Mr. Toqy Lazzeri. That there was every chance for the youngsters to crash into fast company, however, was quickly evident, when Lazzeri’s arm failed him and Koenig proved a failure as a big league shortstop. There were times last season when Miller Huggins and his boss. Colonel i Ruppert, wished they had Reese andi Lary on the Yankee bench instead’ of out in California. Watching ’Em Close For such reasons, it may be that Huggins and Ruppert paid more than customary attentioi to the performances of their expensive charges in the Pacific Coast League during the 1928 season. What they observed pained and surprised them. Neither Reese nor Lary played up to 1927 form, and the former went into a slump which gave every dence of having some relationship to a swelled head. Lary did better than his side-kiclß but both were on the bench a gooP bit of the time. Reese fell off ill batting and fielding, and didn’t loop worth his part of that $150,000. even ’ if one assayed Lary at about $149,999.70. The upshot of the affair is that no one is surprised to hear that Reese can stay with Oakland, as far as the Yankees are concerned. He is subject, of course, to immediate call, and if he takes the lesson to heart he may yet make fast company before the end of the 192!L season. Lary is to be taken to St. PeH ersburg and given a trial at base during the Yankees’ training. There is a chance that half of the former Oakland stone combination may step riiffl v into the lineup of the world's chsH . pions, but Jimmy Reese will far away. -
