Thus to outward appearances at least our neighbor institution is practicing some of the princi- pies it has been preaching declared last few years. Athletic Director J. F.

McKale wants this information broadcast. the world know we have to study here, he writes me. Every major branch of athletics was hit in the recent eligibility ruling at Arizona. Dune Brown and Bever were not allowed to enroll in the university this semester and will be ineligible for the football team next fall. Neil Goodman and Ted r.K—i;.,—ft«■ Arizona has taken the lead in demanding higher scholastic requirements for athletes in schools of this section.

And the progress being I made by Arizona itself stamps that i school as a major institution. A three-year participation rule has just been adopted at Arizona. This rule limits an athlete to three years of participation in sports and is a rule used by all big schools. Another new rule in affect there determines the eligibility of athletes on the grades they made in the pre- Diebold were ruled off the basket- vious semester and prevents those ball team.

TALKING FIGURES I ZZY SCHWARTZ, News Boy Brown, Frankie Genaro and a few other flyweights, tho they are the smallest men in the fight racket, can talk in heavyweight figures. Since they have been in the limelight lately a movement has been made by various clubs to bring them here to fight the local champion, Pinky Urquidi. One would suppose from the answers from them that they were heavyweight champions used to making big dough. Their guarantee demands are out of all proportion to what El Paso could pay and for that matter out of proportion to what flyweight fighters draw in big cities. Flyweights are not making big money anywhere.

A specific ample is shown in the gate receipts of the News Boy Brown Izzy Schwartz flyweight title fight staged recently in New York. This fight was a semi windup to a junior lightweight championship bout. The whole card draw anything extraordinary. Fighters of the main event and semi windup were paid a total sum of $9000. J3rown and Schwartz probably get half of that amount for their fight.

Definite assurance from tournament officials that the DeMolays woijld be given a place in the brackets of the cage meet has been received here.

By BOB TWO more thrilling and hair-raising finishes than the last minute victory spurts of the DeMolays and First National bankers Wednesday night were never seen in the City Basketball league before. DeMolays marched to their fourth straight victory in the league by disposing of the Southern Pacifics, 27 to 24 and the El Paso High School Tigers met their masters in the First National Banks, losing 22 to 28. It was the second time Coach Ed Olle's Bengals have been beaten in the league this year. Windup of these two games was as exciting- and packed with as many thrills as basketball games can be. Lazeres Cinches Game Starting the second half with a 12 to 9 score against them, Andy Southern Pacifics made the going in the second period anything but easy for the DeMolays.

With only a couple of minutes left to play Bruce Kattman, the new addition to the railmen, sank a field goal which gave the S. a one-point lead. Irving Lazeres tied the score by sinking one free throw and then gave the DeMolays a one-point lead by tossing another basket from the foul throw line. He cinched victory by throwing a field goal just before the final gun was fired. The Bankers enjoyed their best night of the league season and led the Tigers thruout the whole game, altho their margin at any time safe until the last minute of play.

Bankers Start Out Strong The Money Handlers started out strong by running up 15 points in the first half while holding the Tigers to eight scores. They were outscored in the second half but managed to hang on to a winning margin. Eddie regained the basket eye that made him one of the leading scorers of the league last year and led the blue jerseyed team to victory by making 12 points. The defensive work of Johnny Warden featured. He also made three field goals as did Willie Carson, who dribbled the length of the floor many times past Tiger guards.

Make Many Substitutions. Herron, Martch, Bowman and Sullivan stood out equally as good for the Tigers. Coach Olle made frequent substitutions but could not put a winning combination on the floor. Irving Lazeres and Hoey Rodgers were the stars for the DeMolays while Kattman and Chew played stellar roles for the Southern cifics. HAT the new lateral pass rule will make football more of an excifcng and even game was the opinion expressed by grid coaches and officials of El Paso.

The new lateral pass rule specifies that any backward pass which is thrown a distance of two yards, if it hits the ground is a free ball but is dead at the point of recovery. The rule last year gave the offensive team the ball if it was grounded. Next fall the team on the offense will have to recover the ball to retain it. Coach Ed Olle believes the new rule evens up the game more. he says, offensive team had all the advantage.

This year it will be different and the offensive team will have a more even Luther Coblentz, former High school coach and referee, says the rule puts the element of luck and chance into the game and that there will be less discussion under the new code about the rules. Asa Porter, former Junior College coach, is of the opinion that there has been a tendency in the last few years for too much open football and that the new rule will cause a tighter and better game with promiscuous lateral passing being done away with. Mack Saxon, College of Mines coach, believes the new rule will eliminate much of the lateral passing, cause more plays to be made to insure the safety of the lateral pass and improve the game. Bob Carson, Cathedral High school coach, says that the rule will not affect local teams as much as big college teams and that it will put more sport into the game.
