The South Parkway basketball team.
fresh from their rest of th last few
weeks, arc again In training for their
big scries with th n.Val B'rlth team.
Both tran.s claim th Independent
championship of th Stat and a satis
factory agreement has been reached to
play a series of three games. The
winner of this series will undoubtedly
be state champions as all other con-
lender hav been disposed of. The
first f lint Is scheduled for March SO.
at the Neighborhood House gymnasium.
The H'nal B'rlth team bis just de
feated Sully's Allstars In two successive
games. Sully's having claimed th right
to play for th championship. This
eliminates Sully All stars from further
consideration and the question of cham
pionship lies between South Parkway
and the B. B. only. There has been
keen rivalry between the two latter
tams all season and the question of
superiority will soon be settled satis
factorily.
South Parkway, although greatly out
weighed. Is confident of winning In a
three-game series. Speed and accuracy
are counted upon to offset the great
margin of weight between the two
teams. The team ta In fin condition and
rapidly rounding Into form. They are
at full strength and are prepared to
put up even a better brand of ball than
shown In the Chemawa game, follow
era of both teams have been anxious to
see them In action against each other
and their wishes will be gratified In
what will undoubtedly be the hardest-
fought gamea played this year.
The first game will tak place on the
Neighborhood House floor and the sec
ond gam will take place on Coach
Faber's It B. floor. If a third game Is
necessary It will be played on a neutral
floor. There will be a fast preliminary
game between the South Parkway
Juniors and probably the B'Nal B'rlth

RULES NEED CHANGE
Illinois Coach Declares Bas
ketball Played Wrong.
SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE
Alterations of Hog-illations. Deemed
Necessary to Gi-re Visiting Team
Fair Chance With Five Play
In; on Home Floor.
The game of basketball as played in
the Big: Ten conference Is wrong, all
wrong. So declares Bob Zuppke. the
famous football coach of the 1'nlverslty
of Illinois.
"Zup" has a 'lot of revolutionary
Ideas about the indoor sport, which
is fast risitifr to a prominence that only
football holds in the Western colleges.
Zuppke is true to his first love foot
ball but he has a fondness for bas
ketball which dates back to his college
career at the University of Wisconsin.
The Illinois mentor could toss a mean
basket In his day and old University
of Chicago fans can still remember
when little Bob Zuppke scored three
field goals for Wisconsin against the
Maroons in the closing minutes of the
championship which gave the Badgers
the right to play Columbia for the
National collegiate title in isui. mat
was in the days when basketball was
not recognised as a major sport and
attracted little of the Interest that has
caused it to forge ahead of baseball as
the second sport in the conference.
Game Declared Klokey.
"Just look at the standing this year,1
Zuppke says. "Not .a single team has
gone through the first half of the
schedule without defeat, and It looks
as though tbe champion might win the
title although losing two. or perhaps
three, games. Teams which have no
right to be up near the top are ranked
with first-class quintets because of the
fluky nature of the game.
"From the viewpoint of the spec
tator," Zuppke said while watching
Chicago and Wisconsin play at Bartlett
gymnasium, "basketball Is an ideal
sport. This crowd has gone clean nutty
But from the viewpoint of the coaches
it is a heart-breaking game. Time and
time again we see a really great team
beaten away from home by an inferior
five because tbe home team is accus
tomed to the peculiar lighting system
of the gymnasium and the resiliency of
the backboard, which makes a world of
difference In the basket shooting be
tween tbe two teams. The home team
has nearly all the luck in the long
shots, while the visitors, although they
may play rings around their opponents
on the floor, are in poor form on their
basket and free-throw shots.
Suggestions Are Made.
"I would make two suggestions for
the good of gasketball," continued the
iconoclast from Champaign. "Divide
the floor into sones and give the team
which works the ball up under the
basket by teamwork three points for
a goal while random shots made from
outside the goal gone should count only
two points If the ball rolls into the net.
I think the score of the two games
played between two teams should be
added and the team with the high total
be given credit for winning one game.
There are other coaches who think
basketball, especially in the Big Ten,
U In need of reform. Pat Page, of Chi
cago, has this to say:
"it is too bad that this, year, when
we have the closest race In the history
of the conference, a championship
should be clouded by claims of other
teams. Indiana plays only six games,
and the Northwestern schedule has been
trimmed to eight. Chicago; Illinois and
Wisconsin are the only teams which
are playing the full 12-game card, and
they must be ranked above some of tbe
other teams, even if they land lower
In the percentage column.

NEW SPORT ON LIST
0. A. C. Adopts Grenade
Throwing for Field Meets.
ACCURACY IS DEMANDED
Present Shot-Pnt and Discus-Throw
All for Distance and Direction
Does Xot Matter, Says Physical
DirectorEvent Popular.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, March 9. (Special.) Hand
grenade throwing as a track and field
event has beendded to the list of in
tra-mural sports at the Oregon Agricul
tural College by Dr. A. D. Browne, di
rector of physical education. The idea
of hand grenade throwing as a field
event originated iat the National Col
Itglate Conference in New York this
Fall. Many of the colleges in the Mid
dle West have already adopted this
sport.
In discu.sMng: hand grenade throwing
a a sport, Dr. A. D. Browne says:
"There is a need of some field event for
accuracy, as all field events, as shot
put, hammer, discus, and javelin throws,
are all for distance. In these events
muscular strength Is called for rather
than muscular accuracy. The present
methods of warfare call for the ac
curate throwing of the grenades and.
the element of accuracy is more im
portant than the element of distance.
This war can contribute another event
to our already popular list, and in view
of the fact that there is considerable
agitation to eliminate hammer throw
ing, hand grenade throwing may be
substituted and made a popular event,
thereby contributing to the military
training of our youth.
Rules for the Western Conference
have been suggested and will be tried
out in the lntra-mural series of track
and field meets and the results will be
reported to the Pacific Coast Confer
ence and other conferences interested.
Coach Jones, of Wisconsin, and Dr.
Browne, of O. A. C have compiled the
rules as they will be tried out in the
intro-mural series at O. A. C.
The hand grenade is to weigh not
mere than 22 nor less than 20 ounces
and is to be made of cement. This
weight would correspond to the weight
of tte military grenade now being used
at the front. The man making a throw
must stand in a four-foot circle and
throw the grenade with a straight arm
overhead movement at a target six feet
by 12 feet marked on the ground with
strips of wood or lime, and at a dis
tance of 25 yards from the throwing
circle.
Each man is given five grenades and
must throw them, one at a time, within
20 seconds. In this event the results
are Judged by speed and accuracy. An
other event is for distance only. In
this the thrower must stand In the
four-foot square and throw the gren
ade as far as he can in a straight
line. 1

Sale or San Francisco Club Will Do
Much 10 Hrlfthten Prospects of
Pacific Coast League, Says
Portland ISuscball Magnate.
That Charlie Graham's purchase of
stock and election as manager of the
San Francisco baseball team is one of
the best pieces of business the Pacific
Coast League has manipulated in many
years, is the expressed opinion of
Judge McCredie.
The Portland magnate has always
been a great admirer of Graham. When
the new Seal owner was managing the
Sacramento team and doing the bulk of
the catching for that club a number of
years ago, the local magnate alwajs
held Graham up as a shining example
of what a ballplayer should be.
Graham's entry into active participa
tion in Pacific Coast League affairs
will go a long way toward giving that
circuit the stability it needs to weather
baseball's stormy seas. The new San
Francisco manager is a thorough busi
ness man and, besides, he knows base
ball from A to Z, having been one of
the most efficient catchers the Pacific
Coast League ever boasted.
Popular Owner Needed.
San Francisco has long felt the want
of popular ownership for the Seals. Not
since the days of Hank Harris has the
Taclfic Coast metropolis been able to
boast an owner popular with the fans.
San Francisco is the greatest minor
baseball city in the country. With such
men as Charlie Graham, Thomas Gra
ham, former president of the Pacific
Coast League; Dr. C. H. Strub and
Tom Stephens at the head of the Seal
management, there is no question but
what the Bay City fans will again rally
to the support of the club.
Henry Berry, who sold out what in
terest he had in the Seals to Charlie
Graham and his associates, was a great
mixer with the boys, but his knowl
edge of baseball was limited. Person
ally, Berry was as fine a person as one
would care to meet.
The rumors that James Coffroth is
trying to break into the Pacific Coast
League by installing a club in San
Diego indicates that there might be a
chance Of swinging a deal whereby the
Vernon team eould be sold to Coffroth
and the franchise transferred to San
Diego.
Two Clubs Not Needed.
Los Aigeles can no more support two
clubs than It can provide good eating
hcuses. Johnny Powers, owner of the
Los Angeles club, would be the hap
piest man in baseball if he could be a
party to any deal whereby the Vernon
club was dispatched to San Diego. The
Angel fans are not strong for contin
uous baseball, and with the Vernon
team located at San Diego, Powers
would be in a position to perhaps pay
dividends enough to at least paint the
outfield fences at Washington Park at
the close of next season.
Cal Ewing is trying to dispose of
stock in his club to the Oakland fans
at $2 per share, all of which tends to
show that outside of the San Francisco
club the remaining cities in the Pa
cific Coast League are a bit wobbly.
With Charlie Graham putting new
"pep" into the P. C. L., it might be that
President Baum's circuit would take on
a new lease of life.
