Guy Chamberlain, the great Cornhusker ball lugger of ten years ago, has every quality of leadership and football Knowledge to fit him for the posmon ot neaa coacn at the university of Nebraska, in the opinion of Dave Noble, the Omaha boy who won nationwide attention as a Cornhusker halfback.

Ajid in addition to his consummate knowledge of the game, his loyalty to old Nebraska is an asset of the sort which cannot be bought with dollars. Noble a. "Guy Chamberlain knows as much or more football than any other coach in the country," said Dave. "Moreover, he haa a faculty for getting the most out of players, not because he is a driver, for he isn't that sort, but because they like him and will do their utmost to please him by playing hard. Popular With His Players "Players want to do things for Guy.

He is considered one of the greatest football players that ever lived back in Ohio, where he has been playing with and coaching the greatest of professional teams. "I spoke to him about coaching at Nebraska some time ago. realizing that it was probable Coach Dawson would lessen his duties. He replied that Nebraska would be the only university in the United States where he would accept a Job coarh ing, but he wduld take no steps toward going after the job. "He has been playing and coaching professionally because he loves the game.

His loyalty to Nebraska discounts any objections wnicn might be raised about his naving plaved professional football. He's a Nebraska man, and that's what counts. Knows All Football Styles. "And his association on the foot k.ii fi.M with the Htars of a dozen all Of Whom have ideas and styles of football that differ in some phases, nas helped him gain a wonderful knowledge of the game.

Arrangements for the three cushion billiard match between Willie Hoppe. ballr line champion, and William Canne fax, three cushion title holder, were completed yesterday when the rivals posted forfeits of $2,600 each, ah amount which sets a record for special matches in which no title in involved. This money represents a side wager, which will go to the winner in addition to 65 per cent of the gate receipts. The remaining 85 por cent will go to the loser. The match will be played, here the week of January 19.

David McAndles of Chiesgo, who recently won the national junior 18.2 balk line billiard championship, announced he had surrendered the title to Tadoa Sagumma of Japan, challenger. Colorado Boy Killed During A Rabbit Hunt BRUSH. Dec. 80. Albert Dobson, 14, was the first casualty of a mammoth drive against rabbits In northern Colorado yesterday.

The accident occurred near H11I roso, where Dobson, with his brother in law and several youths, were riding in a wagon. A rifle lying in the bed of the vehicle was discharged accidentally. The bullet entered the youth's brain, killing him instantly. The drive against the rabbits In northern Colorado, where the animals are so numerous as to be pests, covered more than 100 sq us re miles and enlisted several thousand hunters yesterday. Enough rabbits, which, if laid cotton tall to Jack rabbit ears, would form a fuzzy path to the summit of Pikes peak and back again a distance of nearly 30,000 feet were killed In the Colorado counties as the result of the hunt, declared Governor Sweet.

Grange Twice On Camp's First Team Harold "Red" Grange, mighty halfback of Illinois, is well on the rosd to the establishmsnt of a record for appearance on Walter Camp's "All American" team. He hss been placed on Camp's first for two year and has another season at sol lege. coffe, Ga. Tech. "Big Three" Out In Cold.

Th MA 11 American" football team for 124 selected by Walter Camp, published in tnia weens laau of Collier's Weekly, lists no more than one player from any college in the country ana ignores most of the "Big Three" Yale, Harvard and Princeton. Harvard did not gain a place on either of the three selected teams, whlje Yale won two men on the second team and Princeton one. Almost as surprising, perhaps, Mr. Camn'a decision to place only one Notre Dame man on his first team. Stuhiarener geia in nomination at quarterback, while other "Irish" stars, notably Halfback Crowley and Center Walsh, are placed on the Camp second and third teams.

Weir On First Team. Ed Weir, left tackle and captain K.hruki. who will again lead the Cornhuskers into battle next fall, is the first Husker or Missouri Valley conference grldster ever given first team recognition by the sage of Yale The man who first conceived the "All American" dea. Incldentially, practically every all selection in the country has placed Weir on the first team, so the Camp nomination makes Weirs choice unanimous. Other Cornhusker players of merit, recognized by Mr.

Camp, are Collins, end, and Rhodes, halfback, both of whom are awarded Pf 8 on the honorable mention list. Concerning his choice of Weir, Nebraaka, and McGinley. Pennsylvania, as first team Camp contributes the following comment in Collier's: Taoklea "Ideal," Camp Says. "McGinley of Pennsylvania Is an Ideal tackle for our team, possessed as he is of the necessary weight and power to fulfill the requirements of both modern attack and defense. He has that greatest of assets, consistency.

He has plaed no poor games. Many another star this year has shone brightly upon occasion only to become mediocre in another game. This tendency of the season, both In line and Dack fleld play, haa been the despair or the coaches and has causal many aa ait fixture to be displaced, temporarily at least, by another in the hope of bettering mauma. McGinley has gone serenely on, doing his Job in a wormkanllke manner, always ready, never falling and often doing even more than his own part in emergencies. Weir Fitting Mate.

"Weir of Nebraska is a fitting mate for McGinley. It was largely his work that brought Nebraska to her heights in the last two years. He haa been the keystone in the rK hniater Nebraska's running attack and Its bulwark of defense. Active and powerful, he has reai wtHaii intnitlnn and diagnoses the point of attack cleverly. He is In valuable in opening noies ior mm drives, ss well as having great pace down the field.

Slashing, Powerful, Clever. "Then, as tackles we have Mc nii.v Weir, two slashing, powerful, clever men who have the strength and the Knowieoga nm: sary to clean up the pathway for the runner at the right moment. "Oup two tackles are of the ideal and alashina type that cannot only break through Interference but most important of all today hurry the forward passer so that he will not have time to let his men get down the field. Then, too. both McGinley and Weir are very fast down the field as defense to run backs." Gridiron Czars Think Well of Present Rules NEW YORK, Dec.

80. Football today contains practically every element necessary to the highest type of sport, in the opinion of K. K. Hall of New York, chairman of the American Intercollegiate football rules committee, expressed in his annual report to the National Intercollegiate Athletic association, today. On the whole, Mr.

Hall says, the results from changes made in the rules of 19244 have been gratifying, but the committee undoubtedly will consider returning the point of kickoff to the forty yard line to eliminate the large numbmer of touchbacks which occurred during the past season and at the same time returning to the game one of its most thrilling plays the run back of kickoff. Rap at Crooked Coaches. Major John L. Griffith, high comissioner of the Western conference, advanced a plan at the football coaches' dinner last whlnh raiiaarl anme of the mentor to think deeply. He suggested the appointment or a committee to ruie out coaches who violate coaching ethics and indulge in tactics of unsportsmanlike character In their mad desire to win games.

In the sec si ond round of a bout in New York, I he stopped Geoffrey Thorn, Eng Ikak aniadlenraiffht champion, gave two men cracks at his title Johnny Wilson and Ted Moore and won both battles. Mickey Walker, welter champ, was tickled silly when his proposed decision battle with Benny Leonard lightweight king, fell through. Benny Leonard priised his thumb more than he did a chance to sock Walker and so he failed to appear in the ring in an important fight.

He showed lack of form in the bout he arranged to try out his stuff before the date of the Walker Leonard battle. Johnny Dundee, featherweight champ, abdicated that throne without defending his title. He lost the lesser title, the junior lightweight crown, to Kid Sullivan. Abe Goldstein created the first upset in fistio circlees by deposing Joe Lynch, veteran bantam king. And then Eddie Cannon Martin gave the fans a wee thrill in the late hours of the year by knocking Goldstein from his throne.

Fancho Villa, flyweight champion, was slated to meet Frankie Genaro in a title bout and Genaro's illness prevented that battle. If you can find anything In the above records to cheer about, go to it. We can by the kicker's side. Under thei recommendation the fact that a ball crosses a line of acrimmage eliminates the on side play that waa made by the player from the side not making the kick, putting the ball on side by touching it An attempt was made to include a recommendation that a fumbled ball belonged to the man recovering it, but if it touched the ground before he recovered it that no run was allowed. This was voted down without discussion, the feeling being that such a rule would rob the game of a very important play, many games having been won and lost during the last session by recovered fumbles.

exdek Drafts Amendments. The recommendations were made by a headed by Hugo Bezdek, formerly big league baseball manager and present head coach at Pennsylvania State college. 'The four recommendations were finally put through after Dr. Spears of West Virginia had written an amendment. The report of the committee was that blocked kicks recovered by the kicking side would not constitute a first down unless recovered beyond a point marked by the forward side line stake.

Tentative negotiationa for a subsequent meet with Southern California at Los Angeles have been called off by the Cornhuskers who will compete only against Stanford in accordance with first official and exclusive announcement in' last Sunday's Star.

assistant director of athletics at Nebraska, will represent the Cornhusker institution at the annual meeting of the Nebraska High in Omaha, BY NORMAN E. BROWN Little enthusiasm can be stirred up over the activities of the boxer In 1924. The fight game ml well be said to be in a slightly decomposed state as the new year dawns. Another year like the past and the last sad rites can be. sung over it.

The sad state of affairs is indicated by the general belief that Luis Angel Firpo, a fiszle as a fighter, remained the outstanding figure of tTte year by virtue of his Herculean feat on Sept. 14, 1923 that of knocking the world's heavyweight champion out of the ring. This fame drew him bouts and purses during the past year while movie camera, tripped across the footlights or twiddled their thumb while loquacious managers drove sport writers insane. Firpo proved himself a bust by failing to knock out Harry ills and then losing to the veteran hasbeen. Charley yelnert, who was a white hope when Jess Willard was still a broncho buster.

While Firpo was slipping and cashing checks. Jack Dempsey remained in the movies. Wike McTlgue retained the light heavyweight title. Harry Greb, middleweight champ, Decide At Mew York Session Tht Overhead Football Is Ideal Stuff. Propose Ffiur Rule Changes, But Line Up Strong For Aerial Style.

NEW YORK. Dec. 80. Critics of the forward pass in football are "off side," in the majority opinion of the nation's coaches and eastern officials. Unscathed in its first two battles, the aerial game faces tho meeting of the national collegiate athletic association today with supreme con fidence.

It is so satisfactory to the coaches that the annual meeting yesterday failed to comment on it, satisfying itself with the adoption of suggested changes in other departments of the game. The officials previously had voted their un i animous objection to any tampering with this department of football. Harold Gore, coach of the Massachusetts Aggies, who had characterized the pass aa a "menace," kept his promise to refrain from urging a decision' upon the coaches at this time. He filed his suggestions with the rules committee. Gore would score only three points for a touchdown obtained by the aerial method.

Four Changes Suggested, Few changes will be made in the gridiron code If the recommendation made at the third annual convention here of the American Coaches association carry any weight with the nation rule makers. More than two hundred coaches voted thel confidence in the present code. In their opinion, only four minor changes were needed. The changes proposed were: 1. A defensive offside violation shall be penalised five yards, but the down shall remain the same, unless the ground gained by penalty makes first down.

2. The kick off shall be made from the kicking side's 40 yard line; also that a clay tee not more than four inches high be em ployed in making the kickoff. 3. That the head linesman, in stead of the referee, be instructed to watch roughing the man who makes the kick in the case of a punt or a drop kick. 4.

That a kick blocked behind the line of scrimmage go as a first down to the aide recovering It) that in the case where a kick is partially blocked and the ball crosses the scrimmage line, it be treated the fame as it would in ease the ball had not been touched by anyone. Knocks Out Present Rule. The later is In contrast to the present rule. The present rule reads that if the ball be blocked by a plaver not of the side making the kick "it shall be considered a free ball, and tharelora can bo recovered.
