Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan. 20. THE Intercollegiate Rowing Association has just announced a new set of regulations governing the annual paddling Jousts on the Poughkeepsie. One of the new regulations provides that once the race has started there shall be no recall except for actual breakage of equipment during the first thirty seconds. The purpose of this Is to eliminate the false start, long a plague and a source of skepticism in rowing. The peddlers are thus made to conform to the common law of all sporting competitions which puts every starter on his own after the barrier is sprung, leaving the element of chance to Mr. Sweeney and the whims of fate. 9 • In Uktnff thin l*>nr Mtrrr* action tbc ravine brtti rflortintlr imply tbt lb' fine Bower of eolledate sport roy Dot be totally Immune from tbe poleonooe Influenre of deceit and that It la not wbollv rational to aaaume that tbe roonr men wilt atwar* ,parn an open and legally proper Invitation to Improve their chances •f victory. CERTAINLY in the past it has not been easy to give some of the crews full benefit of the doubt when after a comparatively unadvantageous start the distress signals were hoisted and all the crews, leaders as well as trailers, were called back for a fresh start. The suggestion that any of the young men might possibly slip an oar or catch a fictitious crab at a moment when a restart seemed desirable has always been dismissed as smacking of vile professional tactics and being at variance with the traditions of the concepts of sport for sport's sake WWW THE association also adopted a rule by which a crew failing to appear at the starting line within a specified time shall forfeit Its privilege to compete in the race. Specifically this rule grew out of the excessive tardiness of the Cornell crew of last season, which delayed the start of the race by more than one hour and for no cause which appeared justifiable. WWW n er*. too. the ehongfd regulation Impileg that the YOtinjr men at times mar he dNpoe<J to pi are jufh an extraordinary ralne on Tfetorr a# to distort some of the finer forma of sportsmanship. Heretofore this ha* been a device employed exrlusfvelv bv prtr.e fighters who sought hv delaying their appearance In the rlnr tP nettle and harass their opponents Into m state of ra/re and excitability and thus make the business of winning less Involved. a a a tT Is quite possible of course that I rowing heads harbored no such suspicion in regard t-o the young men and that the revised rule was actuated by a desire for greater punctuality and orderliness, but whether this is so or not it is pleasing to know that in the future the race will be started on schedule time. WWW In the main the conduct of alt college sports from the standpoint of ethical procedure Is beyond reproach or criticism, hut the urge to lead Is a human passion and it fa not surprising to find at times that this agency of real manifests itself on the campus In strange and sinister forms. ana When the star halfback suffers a busted ankle on the eve of an important game it is the quaint practice to roll the other ankle In yards of tape. This is done with the obvious intents of concealing the true position of the hurt. nan I REGRET to report that this stratagem is looked on as a necessity by most coaches because there is a tendency on the part of overeager opponents to capitalize misfortune of this nature by seizing the said busted ankle in the heat of scrimmage and imparting thereto a sharp, vigorous twist. WWW \ ronpl* of *ea*or:' ago a member of the Fenntivb ania back field went Into a big game aimilarly truxeed and after tbe game the aound ankle which had been taped h a decor wax in worse condition than was the unsound one. so violently and frequently had be been wrenched In that region. a a a Os course, all you can say about this is that boys will be boys, the mischievous little brats.

Ben Davis Does Best in County Champions Repeat by Win Over Warren Central in Finals. BY DICK MILLER By a margin of eight points Ben Davis high school basket squad gained its second consecutive Marion county tournament champion ship Saturday night at the armory by defeating a fast Warren Centre! team, 26 to 'B. in the final game of a two-day tournament. Eleven high school teams from the county, Indianapolis excepted, took part in the meet. Warren Central led the Davis team until near the end of the first half when Sagar came through with a couple of field markers and knotted the count at 11-all. The Davis squad appeared to miss the services of their tall center, Richards, who suffered a sprained ankle in an afternoon semi-final game when Ben Davis defeated New Augusta. 22 to 10. In rapid fire manner the Davis boys sank three field goals early in the second half. Although Central came up to within three points, the champions again spurted ahead. Sogar and Uhrig each scored nine points for Ben Davis while Behrman, flashy center of Warren Central, again proved himself the mainstay of the Owls by scoring fifteen of the eighteen points. Warren appeared tired in the final game, having been pushed to top speed to come from behind in the afternoon to defeat Lawrence 24-19 in the semi-finals. Ben Davis likewise was forced to come from behind in the second session in the afternoon after trailing 8-7 at half time. Outstanding players of the tournament were: FORWARDS—Sager (Ren Davtei, Elmer Borgman (Warren Central!, Wlllsey (New Bethel!. R. Murphy (Acton). Roeder (New Augusta). Srhmalfeldt (Southport).

Bv United Press CHICAGO.

He has lost some weight since last year, for he was in a bad way before the medicos got busy and remedied his innards with the knife.
