Seven Changes Made In Prep Football Code Seven minor rule changes have been written into the national prep football rule for 1947 by the National Federation's football committee. No major code changes were made by the committee. The substitution rule, first chanKe of the committee, has been modified to permit two, but not more, members of the same team to enter without penalty when the ball is dead and the clock is running. Proper restrictions will be inserted to prevent delay of the game. The substitution must be completed before the ball Is snapped. When the ball is dead and the clock stopped, any number of subs may enter. This is not a change. However, an official can acknowledge the report by a player of a substitution just . by wave of hand, rather than having the player come to him, as has been the rule in the past. The rule concerning the position of a player on tne une 01 'scrimmage has been modified to bring the rule into harmony with what is considered "good Bums Lose To Cards i By The Associated Press ' Until the Brooklyn Dodgers learn how to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, the Flatbush faithful , would do well to take their pen , nant hopes with a grain of salt. In three starts against the fa 'vorcd Red Birds, the Durocher dandies have played them close " to the vest each time but drop l ped three straight decisions. Their once-healthy lead has now shrunk to two games. Brooklyn's latest defeat, by a ( t slender 3-2 score, last night in St. Louis, hardly comes under J the heading of a major disaster at tli is early date but it could be an ominous portent of things J to come. Ted Wilks, who pitched only J the .last inning after Brecheen , was lifted for a pinch-hitter, took the verdict over Reliefer Art Herring, who was charged with I his first loss of the season. Vacating Cellar The Phillies have won nine of their last 13 starts and three t- en to vacate, the National league J dungeon. A 9-8 victory over the sizzling Chicago Cubs wis the latest J Phil accomplishment. After Hank Borowy had held them without a hit for seven innings, they ral- lied to knock the 1945 pennant t ace out of the box and won the r game in the ninth on Frank Mc- Cormick's two-run double. J Boston cooled off the Pitts- burgh Pirates' fifth place hopes with a 10-5 decision for Ed ; Wright over Preacher Roe and a , brilliant relief job by Bob Mai- - loy saved 'Cincinnati a 7-5 tri- umph over New York. 1 Bosox Pad Margin While the Cards were tighten t ing the National chase, the Bos ; ton Red Sox were pulling away to a nine-game American league i lead over the runnerup New ? York Yankees. Joe Cronin got the first win . of the season out of Bill But- - land although he had to relieve ; him with Karl Johnson in the . late stages to hold off Cleveland, - 6-3. In their last 12 games the ' Sox are unbeaten, boasting 11 ' victories and one tie. Rudy York started Steve Gromek to an ealy doom with a three-run :.. homer in the fourth. Detroit defeated the Yanks 11-3 on Virgil Trucks' five-bit -, hurling and a 12-blow attack. Al Gettel, the f irst of four Yank . pitchers, was around just long ; enough to be charged with his , fourth loss. i Roger Wolff lost a five-hit , game to St Louis when Sam Zoldak parcelled out 11 safeties but downed Washington, 2-1. Chicago nipped Philadelphia, - 3-1. Barron Pockets ; Philly $2500 PHILADELPHIA, June 11 UP) ; Herman Barron, White Plains, . N. Y., professional, headed for Cleveland today and some prac- tice over the Canterbury course s site of the U. S.

THEY ARE BEAUTIES The Gun Store 714 Main 4jp j-l practice. Under the past rule. it is ditlicuit ana impractical lor a player to have one hand and the opposite foot within 12 inches of the scrimmage line without his head in advance of the line. The modification pro vides that if one or both hands are on the ground, it is only nec essary for tlie grounded hand to be w'ithin 12 inches of the line. The present requirement that all linemen of the team in pos session of the ball must face the opposite goal will be retained. The rule concerning the awarding of the ball on a back ward pass or fumble going out of bounds between the goal lines will be brought into har mony with what is done when nnv nav nr fnmhlA i in fliffht or ;s on tne ground and not in possession of any player. In all cases, the ball is con sidered in possession of the team whose player passed or fumbled the ball, unless actual ly in possession of an opposing member of the team. A ball merely touched, kicked, or in any way lost by a player of the other team in an attempt to in tercept it, and going out of bounds after such contact, will be awarded to the original play er, rather than the player who merely touched, and did not se cure possession, of the ball. The penalty for an illegal signal for fair catch will be cut to five yards, instead of fifteen. This foul is a minor technical ity. The ball will be penalized from the spot it was put into play. In snapping the ball, the cen ter will be permitted to raise one end of the ball, under pre scribed limits, prior to the actual snap. These limitations specify that the raised ball shall not elevate the long axis more than approximately 45 degrees with the ground, and that the raising must be done at the time the player first grasps the ball. The player must clearly indi cate, at that time, his intentions of lifting one end of the ball or not Use of a soft artificial tee will be permitted in kicking. Not haying seven players on the scrimmage line will be now considered a form of offside, and the penalty will be the same as for an offside of any kind. The situation is handled the same as when the opposing team does not have five players within five yards of the free kick line when the kick is made. The players are considered too far behind the line. Another proposal brought up and discussed considerably was the fumble rule to permit the defense to advance the bail after it strikes the ground, but the committee voted to retain the rule as it has been only a fumble or backward pass caught in flight can be advanced by the defense. A second rule aired by the committee was the penalty for running into the kicker. At present the rule provides for a five-yard penalty if a member of the opposing team runs into a kicker, 15-yard penalty if the kicker is knocked down or ,the other player is guilty of rough play. The committee voted to retain the present rule. These changes, 'being all minor and work for the offi cials, will not change the game from the spectator point of view. .358 Leads PCL Stick Parade LOS ANGELES, June 11 OP) Slipping downward 11 more points, Loyd Christopher, Los Angeles outfielder, sported his lowest average of the season .358 throueh sames of last Frl. ; day, but it was still good enough 10 ieaa me macule Luast league batting parade.

C, June 11 lP) The bright boys who proved during the war they could pass a tough quiz as well as a foot ball got an athletic break yes terday when the Pacific coast. conference decided to give back the year of eligibility lost be cause they were smnrt enough to graduate in three years. Coach, faculty representatives and athletic directors of the con ference schools, holding their summer meeting here, pointed out these athletes were being penalized for being intelligent. Boys who flunked in naval sci ence or similar war-born courses couldn't finish in three years and retained their four-year eli gibility. Under the new plan, a man i who has earned a bachelor of science degree in a wartime ac celerated course could return for another season of athletic com petition. Every school in the circuit has several such wartime graduates, delegates said. Another idea developed late yesterday was to aid the men who are inducted during their college terms. If an athlete com peted for part of a season and then was inducted, a full season of eligibility in his sport would be restored to him upon his re turn from service. Ortiz Remains Top Bantam SAN FRANCISCO, June 11 OP) Manuel Ortiz, scrappy lit tle Mexican from El Centro, Calif., today is still world cham pion of bantamweights. By knocking out Jackie Jur ich, 1171, in the eleventh of their scheduled 15-round fight last night, successfully defended his title for the fifteenth time. Ortiz, who weighed in one half a pound heavier than his San Jose, Calif., opponent, found the going a bit rough in the early rounds. He lost three of the first four to Jurich's clever boxing.

C, June 11 (PI Jack Johnson, the world's first negro .heavyweight boxing champion, is dead, but probably the controversy which sprang from his scrap with Jess Willard 30 years ago will continue as long as men battle each other in the ring. The ex-champion, 68, died here yesterday of injuries suf fered when his automobile struck a light pole and over turned near Franklinton while en route to New York from Tex as, where he recently had con cluded a personal appearance tour. His death in a local hospital, where he was brought following the accident, was attributed to Oaks Await New Short Br The Associated Press As the Pacific Coast Baseball league approached its player limit deadline Manager Casey Stengel today cast a practiced glance down the roster of his leading Oakland Acorns and picked the left side of his in-; field as the club's vulnerable j spot. To remedy the weakness and! to round out the club for its pennant bid, said Stengel, Oak land hopes to have a new short stop from the major leagues be fore the day is over. The veteran manager did not name the player the Oakland management has in mind but in dicated that Bill Hart, now hold ing down shortstop, might move over to the third sack. Until he gets the new infieldcr, Sten gel said, Johnny Price and Charley Metro will alternate on third. Coast league clubs have to whittle their rosters down to 25 players by midnight Saturday. The Acorns, holding a two-game league margin despite their se ries setback, four games to three, last week at the hands of second ranking San Francisco, have 27 men. Par Stymies 115 Golfers PORTLAND, June 11 (fl -The men's second round of 18 hole qualifying play resumed today for the 1946 Oregon Golf association's championships. Slow greens resulted in many three-putts in yesterday's first rounds with not a single par tallied by the 115 men entered in the top state amateur event. Four golfers reported 74s, but only 33 title seekers bettered 80 on the par 72 links. At the Portland Golf club, the women's 18-hole qualifying rounds ran true to form with Babe Freesc, Riverside, taking medal honors with a pair of 40s. Runnerup was Oracle DeMoss, of Corvallis, who coupled 30 and 43 for her 82. The top 18 were paired for the championship flight beginning tomorrow at the Portland links and moving to Waverly Thursday.

He lost the title to Willard at Havana, Cuba, April 16, 1015, In a battle that ever since has been a source of argument. Born at Galveston, Texas, and christened John Arthur Johnson, he began his ring ca reer In 1899 and ended it in 1928. During that time he par ticipated in 109 major fights and exhibitions. His successful defense of the championship against Jim Jef fries at fono, Nov.. July 4, 1910, was the original "Battle of the Century," which was promoted by Tex Ricknrd and became his springboard to fight promotion fame. Rassle Belt On Display Martino Angclo's coveted Pa cific coast junior heavyweight rassling belt, plus pictures of the Italian mauler himself, are now on display in Dick Reeder's men's store window in prepara tion for a possible exchange of ownership next Thursday night. Angelo, for a consideration, is staking the diadem in a return title match with Strongman Georges Dusette, the fight to go no limit to a finish. The last time the two huskies met, two weeks ago, the bout was for six-rounds and ended in a onc-fall-each draw, although Dusette was able to get away under his own steam while Mar tino was hauled away by handlers. The consideration for which Martino is laying his champion ship on the line is $500 cash, to be given to him when he steps into the ring Thursday night. Owner of the cash Is Georges Dusette. Another lucrative in ducement offered Angelo was the lion's share of the purse, which he will also take, win or lose. A public weighing-in cere mony will also be held Thursday afternoon, probably in the KFLW studio. Weight require ment for the junior heavy title is 190 pounds or less and both grapplers should come under that with ease. No-Hitters Made Easy By Girl Softballer MEDFORD. Ore..
