Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAM3

NEW YORK. Feb. 17—Once more football has been made safe for the players. The solons have sat in solemn conclave and poundered deeply. The net result is a series of alterations in the regulations governing our autumnal Roman spectacles, whatever may be said for the new rules, they at least seem to have the approval of many coaches. Nobody yet has had the enterprise to ask the young men who are risking their life and limb what they think about the changes. At any rate, such of our American youth unfortunate enough to be injured next scson, at least, will have the consolation and satisfaction of knowing that it was legal. Practically every season since It became fashionable for folks to risk pneumonia watching young men risk their lives, there has been tinkering with the rules. Ail changes have been made with a sincere desire to make the game safer for the Players. Some of the changes have done so. The men who made the changes undoubtlv have the best Interests of the Players and of football at heart. Just bcw far their sincerity will carry their oiec.autions remains to be seen. One thing certain is that nobodv had the interests of the officials at heart when the rules were changed. A football referee now has to be a cross between Solomon a Philadelphia lawver and old King Bradv of the Secret Bervlce. If the new rules are to be enforced and lnterpcted to the letter. It is suggested here that they hire Charles Evan Hughes. Harland Stone and Louis D. Braudels as the officials for the next VoltHarvard game. Clarence Darrow might make a go of it as one of the linesmen, too. All the officials will be asked to do next fall, after searching the nlavers for roncealed weapons and other infringements of the new rules on cauipment. will be to decide whether a plavcr had struck another plaver. or merely pushed him. and whether he has left his feet before or after coming in contact with an opposing nlaver’. It’s not officials they’ll need next fall— It's barristers—and good ones. tt st st NEW YORK boxing men consider the King Levinsky match In Chicago on Thursday night a terrific gamble on the part of Jack Dempsey. The old man mauler is taking 60 per cent of an assured $67,000 net, and giving the Kingfish 15 per cent. Quite naturally, Levinsky’s $7,500 guarantee doesn’t mean anything. It follows that the most Dempsey can collect is $30,000. He could clean up close to $500,000 for boxing Max Schmeling. Is meeting Levlnskv good business? Not if vou ask a lot of smart cauliflower merchants, and particularly Yussel end Muscle Jacobs, the hustling manager of the current champion. Jacobs is boarding a Chicago hound plane on Thursday morning. together with his former enemy. James J. Johnston, general manager of Maoison Bauare Garden. Dempsev’s knockout of Chrlstner didn't mean much here or any where, for that matter, but his defeating rn up-and-coming youngster like Levinskv would make the Manassa man’s comeback something of a success. It is with the hope that Jack will stand up that Johnston is going west to be ready to sign him for an early Garden date. The Pennsylvania commission's ;uling that Dempsey must box to decisions has kept the old champion from booking eastern engagements thus far. He undoubtedly suspected that the New York board would take the same stand. A smashing victory over Levlnskv and he might feel so good that he readily wculd accept a short bout to a decision with someone like Paulino. Risko or Poreda. Johnston believes Dempsey and anybody doing most anything would gross SIOO,OOO at the Garden. It Is too bad that the o.'d boy cannot shadow box.

a a a /npHE Levinsky four-rounder is A to be fought with ten-ounce gloves, and no decision is to be rendered. While some Chicago authorities have hinted Levinsky is the kind who chokes up, New Yorkers refuse to subscribe to that theory. The erstwhile fish peddler appeared to have plenty of heart, while Maxie Baer was pounding his kidney here the other night. He can punch like blazes with his right hand, and Dempsey, or anybody else, will go if hit on the whiskers properly with a ten-ounce glove.

Off The backboard

YOU can add your correspondent to the list who believes Mr. Pete Jolly's Muncie Bearcats are underrated and that Pete may have a big string of assorted surprises up his well-groomed sleeve. When the state champs bumped off Kokomo the other night, they bagged fifty-five points, which is a no-trump grand slam in basketball during these days of delayed offense, eight-minute quarters and such foolishness. Part of the credit for the improved play of the Bearcats goes to young Kleinfelder, Mr. Jolly’s long and lean sophomore who has been moved from forward to backguard, a position that had been the weak spot of the Purple machine until he stepped in. Against Kokomo, Kleinfelder grabbed most of the rebounds, played bang-up defensive ball—and is he poison on long shots? They’re his specialty. He dropped in five against Kokomo. Yes sir, friend Pete is going to surprise some people. 000 When Frankfort look a tumble to Lebanon the other night, Mr. Slim nauiiman. the Hot Dogr chef, nulled a flnnessc. ’tis claimed. Evidently Mr. Bausman’s little trick worked two ways. He lost his ball came, and Lebanon took anew lease on life, since they were good enough to beat Frankfort. You can’t tell Lebanon folks Slim wanted to lose that one. Anyhow. Lebanon came back Tuesday nUht and shoved Crawfordsville all over the floor. It was 27 to 11. Meanwhile, Mr. Bailsman's lEot Does continued to make life miserable for Washington's Hatchets. 37 to SO. 0 0 0 Another outfit that is sneaking up into the topnotchers i Urnztl. Mr. Babe Wheeler s charges wheeled out Greencastle on the Tiger Cub court Tuesday night. 13 to 9. And even if Dawson w'*s on the Adelines, it's a very big leather lu the Hed Devils' ledora. 0 0 0 AS a part of his daily toil, your correspondent hopped on the typewriter Tuesday afternoon and opined that Froebel of Gary was the head man up in the north country. All this was occasioned by the Info from duneland that when the sectional smoke had cleared up there, Mr. Johnny Kyle’s Froebel flippers would be riding on top the heap. But Horace Mann, ' whom Mr. Keith Crown, the coach, had admitted as being just fair to middlin’. sneaks up on the Blue Devils Tuesday night and knocks ’em for a row of steel mills. Which made Tuesday afternoon’s efforts just so much wasted time for ole’ Backboard. 000 It's been a long time since Froebel has visited Indianapolis as contenders for the Ihsaa toga, but the wise guvs up there are telling the world that the Blue Devils will march through that tough Gary sectional, bump off the rest of ’em in the Valparaiso regional, and surprise some of the chesty central and southern boys. According to our operatives up that way. the Froebelites have plenty of sire, all regulars touching or passing the six-foot mark. They’ve perfected the hook-pass till It looks easy, and can pcosh 'em up in the hoop. 000 The upstate scribblers have a hard life. Just about the time they ballyhoo a team

Butler in Long Drill Bulldogs Perfect Defense for Notre Dame Rivalry Fray Friday. Facing their hardest tussle of the season and anxious to triumph in their final home battle of the season, Butler's Bulldogs are hard at work at the field house, preparing for Friday’s tilt with Notre Dame here. It is the first of the annual games with the upstate Irish, a rivalry that annually produces the best games of the season. Tony Hinkle, Blue mentor, sent his snipers through a long drill on defense and new plays Tuesday, with another lengthy session carded for today. Notre Dame has triumphed in its last twelve starts, and many cage critics claim the DeCook-Newbold-Krause-Crowe-Burns combination is the best George Keogan has turned out at the South Bend school in several seasons, PETERSON CUE LEADER By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Charles C.

Six Track Aces Threaten Records in Garden Meet

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—An even half-dozen of America’s outstanding record hunters will seek new world marks tonight at the sixtyfourth annual indoor games of the New York A. C. at Madison Square Garden. Some 14,000 track devotees will crowd into the Garden. Gene Venzke, the smooth-striding lad from Boyerstown, Pa., who lowered the world’s indoor mile record to 4:111-5 at the recent Millrose games, heads entries in the Baxter mile, feature event. One of Venzke’s opponents is Leo Lermond, New York A. C. star, who finished ten yards behind Venzke in the Millrose meeting.

sky high something goes phooey. It’s a good bet that Horace Mann will get the posies for a while. Maybe even Mr. Crown will admit he has a good team. Ole' Backboard suspicions he has. • 0 0 0 MR. JOE DIENHART and his Cathedral boys are going to Connersville tonight for the sake of sweet charity and other things. Among the other things, they hope to prove they are better than Tech by knocking off the Spartans on their home hardwood, a trick which Tech was unable to turn down here a few weeks ago. The Irish have been hitting the high spots this season. In their last ten starts they’ve won that many games. If they play like they did against Southport, Mr. Mose Pruitt’s Spartans are going for a one-way ride tonight. 000 Next on the program for Cathedral is Washington, out at the Irish stronghold Friday afternoon. There’ll be lots of fireworks in this one. 000 Muncie is very disgusted with Newcastle. Officials at the Bearcat town offered to let the Trojans and Bearcats play their ■ccond tilt at the Muneie gvm, where they can handle a crowd of 8.000. Newcastle'a gym, including the rafters, aisles and windows, holds 3.000. But Newcastle refused the offer. Mr. Ihsaa might think they were playing basketball just for the monrv. said the Trojan officials. £o the Bearcats and Trojans will settle their little difference in Newcastle’s little gvm. and 5,000 fans will be left In the rain (or snow, or moonlight or what have you.) 0 0 0 Dear Backboard—Southport did not do much de-emphasizing of tne Irish. Cathedral, 34; Southport. 14. That’s terrible—for the Cardinals. And the poor sportsmanship of the Southport fans burned me up. They booed the opposing team when they came out for the first time. But the Southport players were exceptionally clean and sportsmanlike. If the Irish beat Connersville (and I'm pretty sure they will). Tech will wake up to the fact that there is another team in the city besides Tech, a team that could take the Arsenals any day in the week. If you have any money to stake on that Butler-Notre Dame game next Friday night, do not put it on Butler, because the home town boys are going to take a neat trimming from Krause ana company. THE KATHEDRAL KID. 0 0 0 Dear Vern —Cathedral kicked over the ole' dope bucket again. Cathedral, 34; Southport. 14. And we're still five points better than Tech. Next is Connersville, and we'll win 2 to 7 poln’s. So far. our average Is 7 out of 8. And the next time you pick Cathedral to lose, tell us about it first and we’ll help you raise vour average (which isn’t so hot) by reminding you to ride with Cathedral. OSKOSH AND B'GOSH. 0 0 0 Dear Backboard—Here’s the first guess on the sixteen teams that will play nt Butler field house in March, in the order of their chances of winning the marbles. Newcastle Horace Mann (Gary) Vincennes Logansoort Tech ilndols.)

Scozza and Fox Win Verdict of Judges in Legion Scraps

Decision of the judges at the Armory Tuesday night in the feature ten between Larry Johnson, Chicago heavyweight, and Lou Scozza, Buffalo light heavy, went to the New York scrapper, but many ringsiders questioned the verdict. The Times’ scorecard was all in favor of the Chicago Negro, his left hooks to head and body, and aggressiveness, counting heavily in his favor, in the opinion of The Times observer. Johnson held a big advantage in weight, height and reach. He hit the scales at 188 in the afternoon to 171 for Scozza. Larry used to be a light heavy, but that time has gone. The tall boxer possesses a swinging, stinging left that a lot of the town boys could make fine use of if they would copy it.

THE first squad of Chicago Cubs landed m California Tuesday to begin spring training today on Catalina island. At least the boys hoped to start work. It was raining the well-known cats and dogs Tuesday when the ambitious athletes checked in at Avalon. Is Florida laughing? There was little Manager Rogers Hornsby could do about it except respond to interviews and predict the Bruins will have a “fast” team. Rogers admitted he was losing confidence in his own ability to play again owing to bad legs. St tt u Joe McCarthy, pilot of the New York Yankees, has succeeded in reducing his holdout list to four--Babe Ruth, Bill Dickey, Ben Chapman and Lyn Lary. Ruffing, Farrell, Combs and Nekola accepted terms Tuesday. tt st o CHARLIE ROOT, star righthander with the Cubs, has been wintering in California and was supposed to be right in the “pink.” Pilot Hornsby ran across his ace in Dos Angeles Tuesday and advised him to report for work in advance of the other regulars. Root is carrying ten too many pounds. It seems that many pastimers issued a lot of “fooler” stories this winter about “exercising strenuously.” st tt st Old Burleigh Grimes wants to put in two more years on the mound and then retire to his farm or land a berth as big league manager. The veteran spitball flinger says he desires to get out before he is pushed. At the same time Burleigh declares the next two seasons will find him in form, thus relieving the minds of the Chicago Cubs’ officials. tt tt ,tt BUD TEACHOUT, former Hoosier pitcher now with the Cardinals, has landed a baseball tryout for a product of Occidental college, where Bud attended. A1 Dehoog, southpaw, a winner with Occidental last year, will be sent to one of the Cardinal farms this spring. It Is said that altogether the St. Louis club will have about 700 players under contract. Springfield, Mo., will be the chief camp for rookies and 300 candidates will try out there. .1 tt tt a It in rumored that Max Carey, new Brooklyn manager, plans to make a shift in the Dodger outfield, using Hack Wilson in right, Babe Herman in center and leaving Lefty O’Doul in left. The middle garden ; has been Wilson’s favorite spot and ; Herman never has played anywhere in the pasture but right.
