Coming off the floor he re- marked, "I've tried for two years to get an 'M' and haven't made it so I thought I'd make a bid for a 'Y'." Legality of Jablonski's play re- mained in doubt after the game. Rulings provide that the ball may be taken into the back court only by a player who has intercepted a Pass from out-of-bounds, as Her- man Fishman had done, but by no other. Observers were in doubt as to Jablonski's exact position when he took Fishman's pass to score a basket. Meeting here yesterday in their 12th annual rules interpretation ses- sion, representatives of more than 150 Michigan high schools adopted by an overwhelming vote the new basketball rule concerning a player's remaining in the free throw area more than three seconds. After considerable debate on the advisability of adopting the new rule it was finally put to a vote after a motion to continue playing under the 1984-35 system had been defeated. As adopted the rule reads: "a player shall not remain in his free throw area, with or without the ball, for more than three seconds while the baill is in play and in the possession of hiis team." However, it was also decided. to follow the Western Con- ference's interpretation that the of- ficial should act leniently in the matter, using the so-called "long count." Long Discussion On Change A number of coaches, athletic di- rectors and officials gave their views of the situation. Outstanding were those offered by Coaches Carty and Beebe of Detroit Northwestern and Battle Creek and those by officials Miller and Spurgeon of Kalamazoo An exhibition in the morning at the Intramural Building by the De troit Northwestern five and by St Augustine of Kalamazoo was attended by nearly 1,000 and although pri- marily an exhibition in defensive and offensive styles, it furnished an excel- lent test for the new rule. Other Rules Adopted Other recommendations concerning the new rules were quickly adopted, of primary importance being the ad- dition to the rule concerning putting the ball in play following a success- tul free throw. It rastdecided that there should be no time outs taken by the team scoring on the free throw between the time the point was made and the time the ball it put in play; also that the scoring team should not be al- lowed to substitute during that time. The additions do not apply to the team putting the ball in play. The interpretations meeting was held in Hill auditorium in the after- noon. All those attending tpe an- nual conference were guests of the athletic department at last night's basketball game. A.A *U Fails T1o Mention Owens On onor List NEW YORK, Dec. 7. - (A) -- Ten American athletic stars, including four women, were named today as "finalists" in the annual contest for the Sullivan Memorial medal, award- ed by the Amateur Athletic Union to the individual contributing most to the cause of sportsmanship. The list was presented today to the annual A.A.U. convention by Gus- tavus T. Kirby, chairman of the Sul- livan Memorial Award Committee, as a result of preliminary country-wide balloting. A final poll will be taken to select the winner. Conspicuously missing from the list is the name of Jesse Owens, Ohio State's sensational track and field performer, four of whose world rec- ord performances are slated for A.A.U. approval. Eulace Peacock, of Temple, rival Negro who beat Owens twice in the National A.A.U. track and field championships, is among the candidates for the award. Owens was eliminated from final consideration for the award appar- ently because of the controversial na- ture of his service as an honorary page boy in the Ohio Legislature while performing with the track team. Owens, who broke three world records and equalled another in the Big Ten meet at Ann Arbor, Mich., last May 25, finished among the first five in the preliminary voting to se- lect the final ten. W. Lawson Little, Jr., world ama- teur golf champion, whose omission from the 1934 list caused criticism, is among this year's finalists. Delegates commented on the fact the list includes Jack Medica, Seat- tle's ace swimmer, but not Ralph Flanagan, of Miami. who conquered Medica in the National Outdoor aquatic championships in Detroit this year at 880 yards and one mile.

Bell, new ringmaster of the famous "aerial circus" at Southern Methodist University of Dallas, Tex., moved into the head coaching job behind Ray Morrison and made good immediately. Morrison answered the call back to his Alma Mater, Vander- bilt, to succeed Uncle Dan McGugin, and apparnently took none of the circus props along. Among the coaching assignments prior to his present one were at Texas Christian and Texas A. & M. Dallas' present Public Hero No. 1 left the Aggies to become Morrison's as- sistant in 1934 and moved up to the front office after last season, in which the flying Mustangs won eight, tied two and lost two. -. -- By G EiO. ..

Despite the disadvantage of being unable to specialize, however, Schmieler was good enough to win the 220-yard free-style in record time in the Conference meet of 1932 after he had captured the 200-yard breast-stroke race in the same meet. He swam to victory in the breast- stroke event in the National Collgiate championships in 1931 and 1932, and competed as a member of title-hold- ing medley relay teams at free-style,1 breast and back-strokes. Samson gets Coach Mann's nod as the best captain ever to pilot a Wol- verine tank squad. "Besides being the leader of all college free-stylers at any distance from 50 yards to a mile, Buck was the best leader of men I have ever coached," the veteran mentor states. Distance Star Of '26, '27 At present attached to the staff of the University Hospital, the towering, husky Samson was a double winner in the distance events in the Big Ten meets of 1926 and 1927, and won both the 220 and 440 in the Nationals of 1927. In that year'he received first All-American honors in the 100, 220, and 400, and second position in the 50. "Drysdale, who was co-eaptain of the Wolverine natators last year, holds the unique distinction of never having lost a race while officially rep- resenting Michigan. Competing in 1931, 1933, and 1934, Drysdale won three Conference and three National championships in the 150-yard back- stroke. He is at present holder of the record in his favorite event in both Big Ten and National Intercol- legiate competition. World's Best Backstroker But the tall, slim Drysdale, whose swimming is rhythm in perfection, is by no means a specialist. Many have called him Michigan's greatest all- around swimmer. He is present hold- er of the world's record for the 300- yard individual medley, and was a member of the national champion- ship sprint relay team last spring. He outdistanced Japan's best back- strokers as a member of the United States team in the Orient last sum- mer. KALAMAZOO, Dec. 7.-The West- ern State Teachers court five which met Purdue last year for the first time, will invade Lafayette again Monday night in one of two games slated for the Readmen this week. While Piggy Lambert, Purdue coach, has lost some of his stars, he always can be depended upon to. have a team that is in the running for the Western Conference title. Knowing the material Lambert has at his com- mand, the Hilltop cast is expecting the Boilermakers to flash another great team Monday night in their opener before the home folks.
