One Day More of Wander ing in Hudson Bay Coun try Would Have Ended Them. ketball Season. The Red and Black quintet will open the 1921 season tonight, when they take on the Furman basketeers nt the Octagon. Under the tutelage of Coach Stegeman, the team has rapidly rounded into condition and the men are In excellent shape for the fray. As a preliminary to the main at- fair, the Georgia 'Freshmen will lock horns with the team from Tech High school of Atlanta. Coach White has been conchlng the freshmen team and he has developed one that bids fair to send the wearers of the Purple and Geld down Id defeat Although little is known of ths Furman team, that college has an un canny habit of turning out teams that usually spill the dope. Georgia Is picked as the winner, but It is. en tirely within the range of probability that the South Carolina basketeers will finish the game with the big end of the score. At all events, the game will be close. The knowing ones insist thst Geor gla has a team this year that will go through tho season without a single defeat. Whether their knowledge is true or not, time alone can tell, but from all Indications tbo Red and Black team for 1921 will be one of the best that ever threw a ball Into a basket. A large crowd Is expected to turn out for the affair tonight. It will ba the first game of the season and, fur- thormore, a double-header will be staged—something new to university basketball fans, at least In the last efew years. The entire Student body .will, of course, be there and, la addl- ' tion, the townspeople are expected in laren numbers. The tickets for the game went on salo at COsta'a on Friday and are on solo there now. Contrary to what was first announced, the first gnme will bo called at 7:30 Instead of 8 o'clock. Remember this and be there on time. The Georgia line-up will probably be as follows: Anderson, forward: Rawaon oi Ourr, forward; P. Bennett. ■ center: Owens, guard; Cheeves, guard. ber of the National Rules committee and the guiding spirit of the athletlc- pollcy of the University of Virginia. Ur. Lambeth stated here today that In all probability (here would be an attempt to further restrict the use of the forward pass by permitting Its use only In the first down and by not allowing any running with the ball after a forward pass has been com pleted. The abolition of the kicking of goal after a touchdown would probably come before the committee, he stated The Virginia sage is opposed to all of these changes and does not believe that they will meet with the approval of the rules committee. Dr. Lambeth will make another ef fort at the meeting of the rules com mittee In New York In February to change the present rules In regard to safeties and touchbacks. It Is Or. Lambeth's contention that the spec- tutors at a fotobal Igame are never able to tel whiih has been scored. He would make a distinction by bringing the ball out to the forty-yard line fol lowing the scoring of a safety. j-®r. Lambeth Is serving his last year on the national rales commitee. The reorganization of that body at the re cent Chicago meeting made It rotat ing In its membership and Dr. Lam beth drew one of the on# year terms. During his long service on the com mittee be has been responsible for much of the constructive football leg islation. He sponsored among others the change In the rules which abol ished the punting put after a touch down when not scored between the uprights preparatory to the kicking of the goal.
