THE GAZETTE, MONTREAL; TUESDAY, FEBRTJATIY 27, 1010. 15 Liberty Flight Wins Bougainvillea Handicap at Hialeah Race Track VOL. CLXIX. No. 50 LESS HUDDLE, MORE MUDDLE SAYS KERR ROBERT, COX MEET IN FORUM FIXTURE M.A.A.A.

TO STAGE TWO TITLE EVENTS GELDING OUTSIDER LEADS SPRINT AGES IN 6-FURLONG DASH Between By HAROLD The Lines McNAMARA Change Meets With Small Favor Among Grid Coaches in Ontario Reds' Coach Sees No Advantage to New Rale Limiting Teams to Three Per Quarter and we chanced to pass a building on which was the sign: "Bowl for health. Makes better citizens. Builds character. Promotes manhood." This sign went on to give several other recommendations as to why we should bowl, the most convincing of which wa. the notice: "Only 10 cents a string." Who could resist a commendation of this nature? To think that merely by tossing a ball down an alley in the direction of a lot of "keils" we would become a better citizen, would develop a healthful and robust body and would immediately be esteemed as a great character.

A moment later found us Inside with our friend. "Shall we try ducks?" he asked. "Why not?" was our reply. "Are they good Brome Lake ducks, fresh-killed?" which drew a laugh, for some reason which was not quite clear. Anywav.

in nracticallv no time at all. we had had things explain ed. "Wait," our friend declared. "I see a lot of fellows I know over here. Let's join them.

They make little side bets but they're, not very good. We should beat them easily." bo eventually we found ourself lined up with seven or eight other fellows who were not supposed to be very good. It looked auite simple. You picked up a ball weighing about four pounds or so and let fly at a lot of pins about 50 feet or so away. Nothing to it.

After throwing 20 of these balls, our pal told us we were getting along fine, although the score of 51 was not quite high enough to win us the grand prize. We were therefore required to dig into our pocket and bring out a small amount of money, turning it over to another fellow who was pointed out as the winner. "He's not very good," said our old pal. "He rot only 176. You should beat him easily with practice." So we tried again.

This time our score- mounted all the way to 65 and somebody took pains to tell us that the idea was to keep the ball out of those little gutters on either side of the alley, something we hadn't known before. Anyway, that's the way It went all afternoon. After two or three hours of this sort of thing, we limped out of the. bowling establishment and borrowed a cai ticket to go home. But anyway.

It sure is great to feel that we are now a better citi zen, in wonderful health and of very fine character. Yes sir, it sure is great. But after this, make ours vanilla. Advantages of the huddle outweigh the disadvantages "by a long way," Doug Kerr, coach of McGill senior intercollegiate football team, said last night. Kerr was commenting on a rule change adopted by the Canadian Rugby Union Saturday limiting a team to three huddles during a single playing period.

The McGill coach didn't think many coaches would like the I "The huddle." he said, "is worth a lot more than most neonle ttunk." Cutting down on the number of huddles "isn't going to speed up the Same an awful lot," Kerr aid. "Teams will waste nearly as much time shiftins around on the field calling numbers as if they went in and out of their huddles smartly." He believed there would be more room for error under the new ruling. Under the system used at McGill, Kerr said there is just one signal given in a huddle and all the players can get clear in their minds what play is coming up. When signals are called, eight or 10 of the numbers are just "cover-up' and the players have to wait for the right sequence for the play. "With the players' ears covered up by the head-gears they're wearing today, the crowd yelling and in a close game, there's going to be lots of room for messed-up play," Kerr said.

Another point in favor of the huddle, he believed, was that it gave the quarterback a chance to see if a man is hurt and to replace him if necessary. Under the signals system a groggy player, with his back to the quarter, may carry on for a couple of plays before his injury is noticed. As for other rules changes, Kerr didn't think any of them of great importance although he expressed approval of the change granting the team against which a touchdown is scored the option of kicking off or receiving the kickoff after the attempt at converting. He didn't believe there would be any change in the interference ruling, "because there's no hope of the west coming in." The rules committee agreed to extend the interference zone from three to five yards beyond the line of scrimmage Now, More I'll rti I ll Imv Mil New Orleans Horse Has Fast Time of 1:10.6 to Pay $20.60 for $2 HIGH ONE IN 2ND PLACE Holds Half-length Margin Over Dunade as Non-Favorites Dominate Event Armor Bearer Is Last Hialeah Park, February 26.

Ted Reeve, who coached Mont real's winless Intcrprovincial Union team last year, found favor with the change, expressing belief it would speed up the game. Reeve safd the rule would be "as fair to one team as another," and "there has been too much abuse of the 20- second limit allowed for huddles." Lew Hayman. coach of Toronto Argonauts of the Intcrprovincial Union, declared: "You can say for me that the restricted huddle rule is a poor one as far as I am con cerned. Senior teams in eastern Canada have none too much time for practice as it is, and it's going to be a lot tougher trying to keep track of signals unless we can get the customers to quit cheering."

TODAY'S RACING ENTRIES Challenger Held as Favorite to Beat Locally Recognized Wrestling Champion Tonight Facing a weight disadvantage but counting on speed to outlast his opponent, Yvon Robert, locally recognized world's wrestling champion, engages one of his most feared opponents when he tangles with Dynamite Joe Cox in the feature of tonight's program at the Jorum. Aside from the fact that the Kansas City matman is regarded as formidable a challenger as Robert has met in some time, the Mont-realer will eflgage the man whom he failed to defeat in a recent riotous match in Brooklyn.

No falls were recorded when the pair last met, the match endine in the aisles as police broke up wnat appeared to be the start of a free-for-all. Cox will likely hold a wide margin in the weights and on his recent showing here will enter the ring a favorite over the local title-holder which indicates that the re- turn match will be a strenuously fought affair. Two brother-acts will be seen in the preliminaries in which one newcomer will appear along with several well kno'wn performers in local rings. Gino and Ralph Garibaldi and Maurice Robert make up the brother acts while Hymle OLsen will make debut on the program. Gino Garibaldi will face Olsen with Ralph Garibaldi tackling Maurice Robert.

Charlie Strack and Bibber McCoy are also billed to match grips. Paul Haynes. now out west on a scouting trip for Canadiens, is not expected back much before the current schedule closes. but only on condition that western teams conform with this and all other rules not later than April 1. OTHER SPORTS ON PAGE 19 Than Ever, Main Floor UMirt Checkers Is Still Good Sport Some time ago this correspondent, in a moment of almost overpowering weakness, inscribed a piece in which he recounted his experience J7 '01 with the grand and noble game of curling in rinks, not barber shops.

All of which is-very well, as iar as it goes. Except that we have been bothered almost incessantly since that time by exponents of the grand and noble game of bowl ing on the alley who wisneo. us to write something about this fine pas- tune. When we protested that we knew absolutely nothing about bowling, these churlish fellows declared so what, we knew noth-. ing about curling either.

Therefore there was nothing to do but find out what that bowling business v.as all about and pass along such invaluable information to our readers, if any. Frank Menke gives some very in teresting data on bowling in his encyclopedia of sports. It would appear that many misinformed people have been under the impression that bowling at pins was derived from lawn bowling, or vice versa, but neither is the case. It would seem that bowling at pins originated not as a sport but as a religious ceremony in ancient Germany. Just what the Germans expected to gain by knocking down a lot of pins i not made clear by Mr.

Menke. But they certainly appear to have been stuck. In ancient Germany, before there was even a mention of Hitler, it was the custom to carry a "pin" which is shaped like the modern Indian club. The pin was used to exercise its owner's wrists and all that sort of thing. The German word fcr this pin was "keil," meaning a pin, pro nounced like "heel," meaning Adolf.

It apparently is from the same derivation as "kegel," which means bowl, the Germans always referring to a bowler as a "kegler." This information blows up one of our theories, which was that a bowler was known as a kegler be cause of the peculiar habit of breaking open a keg of the well known amber and bitter "after a hard match. Apparently, the first bowling was done in the cloisters of the cathedrals. It was the custom of the canons to have parishioners, in turn, place their pins at one end of the cloister. The parishioner then was given a ball and asked to throw it If a hit was scored, it indicated the thrower was leading a clean and pure life and if he missed then a more faithful attendance at services would help his aim. If this same thing applies now, then it must be admitted that your correspondent is in dire need of spiritual succor.

Because we tried that game the other day and it must be admitted that the misses outnumbered the hits by quite a large margin. We would never have tried our hand at bowling in the alley were it not for one thing. We were ambling along with a friend he never reads the sporting pages which is why he is still a friend Costly Ice Cream New York, February 26 (IP) Al Davis, Brooklyn welterweight boxer who meets Henry Armstrong May 10 in a title bout, was served with papers today in a $50,000 suit brought, against him and two other men as the result of an ice cream parlor brawl on January 18.

Montreal Rackets Club member and newly-elected a a-dian Squash Racquets Association president, announced last night a record entry would seek the Cana-d i a doubles crown to be defended by Tim O'Keefe and Joe Atf Powlg Shea of M.A. A.A. Twenty-five teams are entered to date and 32 are expected before the entry list closes.

Chief opposition for O'Keefe and Shea is expected to come from the powerful New York City combine of Stan Gallowin and Fred Alexander, but there'll also be several strong Canadian teams in there to give them trouble. Five Quebec Winter Club entries were received last night with Doug Johnson and Bernard Fortier form ing one team, Jacques Lemieux and Eugene Noel making up another and Jean Bernard, remaining Que becker, teaming with Hugh McKay of A.A.A. for a third duo. The Dominion event wilt open Friday evening and conclude Sun day noon but the provincial team tourney will be only a two-day affair, winding up Saturday arter noon. Sam Tilden.

Clear, last, at the University of Toronto, recalled that the huddle was introduced because of the tendency of the noie of the crowd to drown out barked signals. "Varsity quarterbacks call signals but they do all their calling in the huddles so their mates can hear them," Stevens said. "We tried to do away with the huddle in city senior games two years ago and abandoned the idea because the crowd out-roared our signal callers." "We always have had Quarterbacks calling regular iignals since I have been at Sarnia," said Art Massucci, coach of Sarnia's Ontario Union club. "But we have found that they have to be called from a huddle so that the boys can hear what's going on. Two years ago we tried to do away with the huddle in a game against Balmy Beach in Toronto.

It was an unsatisfactory experiment. Fans on the sidelines hooted and hollered so loudly the quarterback couldn't hear him.sclf." REMEMBER THE FIFTEEN YEARS AGO; February 27, 1925. Billy Petrolle. of Fargo, knocked out Sylvio Mireault, Montreal, in the first round of a scheduled eight- round bout at Monument National. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO; February 27, 1915.

Champion Jack Johnson denied that he had signed to fight Jess Willard for the heavyweight title at Juarez race track. THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO; February 27, 1905. Manager George Stallings. of the Buffalo Baseball Club secured McAllister and Gettman in a deal from Cleveland. He beat the Yankees to the purchase of these two players.
