Thr tentative plan, ns outlined by llie roaches at a meeting held early this week, provides for the division of the tracksters of the individual schools into three groups. These three groups under the sup ervision of their own gym Instructors, will compete with their school males in six events. A certain prescribed standard will lie set, and any youtli attaining this standard will receive the medal awarded (or this particular achievnieut. According to Ira A. Jones, physical director of the public schools, the requirements will not be very strict this season, and he expects 50 per cent of the students to win bronze medals, 20 per cent silver medals, and 3 per conk gold medals. The coaches will meet Saturday afternoon at a 1 o'clock luncheon at the Elks club to make final arrange ment for the new event and set a date.

WALSH. I\ EW YORK, Feb. 6.—With in me next _ i hours William T. Tllden, rated the greatest lawn ten nis player that ever served an ace, will decide whether the season of 1925 will see him continue as competitor or pro l' i eed w ith the wrlt ^ ins; of masterpieces sfi on and about the gm sport in question. Thi s decision will be made tomorrow following the an nual meeUpg of the United States Unn Tennt association, nt which the new amateur code will b« offered for consideration, and the good word Is that Tildeti will proclaim h|* re tlrei#rnt simultaneously with the adoption of the measure. It* passage is regarded as a formality. Tilden Is a member of the special committer that drafted the compro mise code. Vet it Is understood that he Is so far from satisfied with Its terms that he will withdraw bis name from the lists of America's defenders of the Itavls cup, to say nothing of those eligible for the na tional championship, important to tournaments at which the products of his pen might be deemed essential to the happiness of the reading public. The new rode says. In effect, that no player may "cover" under his sig nature any tournament in which he Is a competitor. He may confine him self to expert views on this and that In an analytical vein, but Journalistic efforts upon the actual play will lie taboo. This provision, according to the champion's friends, eliminates Tilden from Important tournaments almost automatically. Hie articles would cease Just about the time they mlght lie expected to reach their greatest selling appeal. Says Jack Dempsey Needs Ready Cash; That’s Why He Wants Fight KW FORK. Feh.

His real estate deals sre 50 50 with Jack Kearns and despite Dempsey's desire to rut away from Kearns he cannot do that In theft- Investments without Kearns’ consent. Dempsey's expenses are heavy. The champion, with an expensive family and a new wife, can't live on $50,000 a year. He needs perhaps twice that much. Most of the money Kearns and Dempsey have invested in real estate lias hpon put into the Hotel llarhara and the Wiltshire apart ments tn la»s Angeles.

First we have t lie underhand passes. These may be executed with either one or two hands. As a gen eral rule, the underhand pass is more useful with a team of small players than with taller ones. The one-hand underhand pass is short and swift. It is made from the height of tlie middle ot the thigh, with elbow bent slightly. Wrist snap Is used. A tall man has difficulty In receiving an underhand pass because when in motion his knee may hit the ball and cause a fumble. The two-hand underhand pass is used In the short p-'tss style of play. It la slower Ilian the one-hand pass btk more accurate. The ball is brought close to the body, thigh high and released in a sweeping move ment, one step usually being taken in executing it. The two hand underhand pass is j used: J—Aft#*r a pivot 10 para lo a team mate trailing the play. 2— In the short -pass gams when a cries rroas style of play Is used. 3— As an easy way of passing tha ball quickly after getting a fumble or a bounce peas. . , . . . 4— When the receiver has hie bar k to the basket and wlshee to pftsa to an on coming teammate. The pass la hard to guard from behind and the teammate need* e shew, "float,’’ pass to catch with out slowing up. The overhand pass ''in also be executed with nnr* or two hands, being released from a height between waist and shoul ders. In the underhand pas* the arm* and fingers ere turned down, and in the overhand pass they are turned up The one.hand overhand pas* r*n made either *hort or long The short pass Is mad’ with considerable snap and with a long seeding motion of the aim. It la generally made shoulder high, tlie trajectory of the ball being on a fiat downward line Yh» pain) of the hand is in the direction of the throw, fingers pointed up and spread. The two-hand overhand pas* t* usually a short pass. The ball i* held on us sides. pa.hu* pressing In. finger* upwaid and thumb* toward the body. There (s more wrist snap than in the case of the. one-hand pas* end the ball is usually brought i !««#• to the body and released • * ih«» arms are at i a'ghtened. This Is « K< o.t peas for general use and gives *x < ellent control • f the ''all the bes*, In fact, of ell. It ia likewise very casj to teach.
