A BASKETBALL TOURNEY, NORTHWESTERN STRONG ON BASKETBALL BOWLING LEAGUES PUT IN A BUSY WEEK IN BIG TOURNEY Spirited Play Marked the Girls' Basketball Tourney at the Twenty-one to one was the score by which the junior girls' basketball team won the animal interclass tournament at the state university last night. Having won easily over the sophomore team, the fast quintet from the junior class found the freshmen, who had just defeated the senior aggregation, an easy proposition. The senior quint lined up against the freshmen first, and altho they fought hard to uphold their dignity against the underclassmen, the latter began early to score, and succeeded in recording six baskets against the seniors in the first half.

The freshmen were quicker on their feet, and showed a fine variety of team work. In the second half the seniors did their only scoring of the evening, registering a basket from the field and a point on a foul. The freshmen threw two more baskets, however, making the final score 10 to 3 in their favor. Rose Marie Schaller and Irene Dunn starred for the seniors, and all during the last half the whole senior team fought hard to stem the tide of defeat. The juniors were paired off with the sophomores in the preliminary contest, and gained an easy victorv by the seoie of 22 to o.

The sophomores were the first to score, but during the last of the halt had no further chance. The team work of the juniors was superb, ajid at no time was their goal in danger. In the first part of the second half, however, the freshmen began playing with a rush, and succeeded in scoring on field baskets twice. During the rest of the game, however, the juniors scored almost at will, and won by a wide margin. The two winning teams were then paired off for the final championship contest, and contrary to expectations the freshmen had little chance against the speedy juniors.

Each member of the junior team took part in the scoring, and each one played a star game. The freshmen were outclassed in both the basket-throwing and the guarding, altho eight trys at goal on fouls were missed by the 'seniors. The single point to the credit of the freshmen team was made by the captain, Florence La during the second half.

The hall was decorated in the class colors, and each team had a novel mascot. A duck, which was the mascot of the junior team, began to quack at the beginning of the last game, and seemed to presage the victory of the juniors, just as its ancestors quacked once ages ago, and saved the day for Rome.

The teams were all well che -red by their classmates, and several new song parodies were sung. LONDON PREPARING FOR THE BIG MEET Royalty Will Look Over Olympic Gaines in Old Albion. the New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copyright, 1906, by the New York Herald. London, Dec.

The" breaking out from all corners, hoots and groans greeted the winner as he rode on the flat around to his track quarters. Harry Downing jumped from his wheel and approached Folger, congratulated him on a wonderful ride and victory. The sportsmanlike act was cheered to the echo.

Special to The Journal.

Annapolis, Dec. 15.Archibald H. Douglass, star halfback of the navy football team, was elected captain for 1907, tonight. Douglas made a reputation with the eleven of the University of Tennessee, but broke his leg in a game with Princeton early in the season of 1904, his first year at the academy. He played only a short time last year, but this year he returned to the game and did good work.

His long punts and defensive work contributed to the navy's victory over the army at Philadelphia, Dec. 1. Douglass is an all-around athlete, being a baseball pitcher and possesses great physical strength. He is president of the class which'graduates next season. NEW OELEANS BE8UI.TS.

New Orleans, Dec. 15. Charley Eastman, at 7 to 1. won the Test stakes, the feature at City park today. Sam Hoofheimer, a 7 to 1 chance, galloped borne in the- steeplechase.

Today's winners: Rose Mariou, Hoofheimer. Goldjo, Charlie Eastman, 'Debar, St, Noel and Columbia I Philadelphia, Dec. 15.A Chicaigo and Pennsylvania meeting on the gridiron next autumn and five important changes likely to be in football rules when the intercollege rule-makers meet at New York next Saturday, were both predicted by District Attorney John C. Bell, head of the University of, Pennsylvania athletic advisory and member from that institution of the intercollegiate football rules committee. Mr.

Bell, when asked his opinion as to what action would most likely be taken by the rules committee, outlined the probable changes as follows: FirstSubstituting a distance penalty for loss of the ball when a forward pass hits the ground. SecondChanging the rules so as to allow linemen to run with bail provided they are not used in mass plays from tackle to tackle. ThirdLimiting opeiation of 5-yard zone on each side of center so that forward pass from outside may legally cross this zone. FourtljOne more down inside the 25-yard line. FifthExtension of playing time from thirty to tbirty-nve minutes.

"It is quite said Mr. Bell, "that some changes as I have indicated will be proposed and something done along these lines also of course riot necessarily in exactly the abovementioned form. The loss of the ball whefe the forward pass ig missed, at the point where the pass was made, is en- tirely too severe a penalty. It has had the effect of discouraging forward passes and is thus in direct opposition to. the tendencies which the committee wishes to promote.

It is probable that instead a 10 or 15-yard distance penalty will be proposed. Backfield Overworked. "At present the backfield men play practically all the game in the attack. They are overworked. The line men should be given a chance to run with the ball provided they are not used in mass plays from tackle to tackle and it seems to me that this is the sentiment of a majority of the committee.

"It should be possible for a quarterback who has run to one side with the ball to make a forward pass over the now prohibited 10-yard line zone five yards each side of the center. "There is a widespread agreement of opinion that something should be done to strengthen the defense inside of the 25-yard lines. Now a team is practically compelled to resort to old football when near the opponents' goal line, and the handicap of only three rushePto make ten yarda is too great, gbviously the forward pass and onside kick inadvisable here and many games this season have proved that at this point the back needs strengthening. The remedy suggested is one more down. time should be lengthened to thirty-five minutes, as many big games this year have only ninety minutes from first to last.

Want Maroon Game. "Pennsylvania and Chicago are likely to meet in football next autumn. If the game is played it will be on Franklin field. You know we play Michigan at Ann Arbor next November." Mr. Bell would not qualify his statement, neither would he say whether the date of the game had been settled upon.

But it is the unanimous opinion of Pennsylvania football men that the game is as good as assured. Football officials are usually reticent in regard to any game of the schedule unless they Sunday, December .16, TO GET II GAME WITH PENN? Philadelphia Thinks that This Is Assured for Next Season.

And Mr. Bell's statement is regarded as significant that Pennsylvania will play Chicago at Chicago, in the vears when Michigan is playing here, and as these two universities include the athletic supremacy of the west, the movement marks the close alignment fthe red and blue with western colleges. The probable admission of Michigan to the intercollegiate track athletic championships marks another development in the direction, and4 both are movements in college places which will be watched with interest. Chicago played Pennsylvania in 1898, 1899 and 1900. The serise then was discontinued because Pennsylvania did not think the expense and time necessary to iournev to Chicago commensurate with the game.
