Instead of the - usual 10 • men,
:'the !Touchtone system calls ' for
seven men on each team—two at
tacks, two mid-fielders, two de
fensemen and the goalie.
"The length of the playing field
' bas•beerl cut from 'BO yards to' 50
. yards in •an admitted -attempt to
~speed •lap. the .game and provide
r greater spectator interest through
higher score totals on each side.
Paralleling recent basketball
legislation, the novel regulations.
provide for - bringing the-ball from
behind the goal after each tally
instead of the ordinary face-off
in midfield, and initiates a time
limit of five seconds allowed to
hold the ball without -moving.

.ed in 10-Minute ',quarters instead

Up Hopes For Mile

11l fortune is still • dogging the
Steps 'of' Gerry, !Karver, ~P epn
State's prewar distance _runner...
The -Boyertown, Pa., youth,
second • lieutenant •in the. 'Army
Air. Corps, had hoped-,to- enter , the
:special mile event at the Penn
'Relays next week-end .but lack
of 'training facilities at Florence,
'S. C., has forced him to give up
the- idea. •
"I.•!•had heart 'set on corn
„ petihg • in. the rspecial mile,” Kar 7
.ver said .in , a..letter to GeOrge
Flarcrey, ;I;iefi track coach, "but
now my hopes are shattered and
I guess I'll have to wait until af
ter the -war .to . compete:again."
AaKver, •-who was „ touted- -as
.coming miler when the war took
him out of . college competition,
recalled in 'his 'letter that - ."bad
-luck -has been on •my trail ever
-since my itiduction-into.the• serv
ice, which, by the way, was only
three days before the 1943 Penn
Relays."
'Before his transfer to South
- Carolina, Karver was stationed at
the University of Chicago where
'he -,, Was able to run 'every -;day.
He • filed i-his entry !Thr• the 1;000-
yard specialty -.at - the -K. , of C:
Games .March 11, but was re
called to • his base less than 24

forfeit 'all three, places -in the -pole

been going on through Out the

dable material for• the post.
'Best bets will be in' the quarter
mile, half-mile, hurdles, shot 'and•
discus, the '220 and' br6ad jump.
Veteran Bobby 'Jones was poin
ted out by Harvey 'as a mainstay
in the 220, quarter-mile •andre
