Will Practice "Takraw" at New York University Ba Yin, described as the "Babe Ruth of Bangkok," has convinced authorities au-thorities at New York university that takraw, the national game of Siam, should he added to the American college's col-lege's athletic curriculum. Professor Hathway, faculty director of athletics, after watching an exhibition staged by .Siamese, announced that he would form a squad to practice the game. The mighty Yin had as teammates in the demonstration Pla, Chin and Con. They produced a six-inch wicker ball, which was tossed from player to player, touching everything but hands in its flight. Hands must not be used in passing, but heads, feet, knees and neck's are permissible. The team mak-lug mak-lug the greater number of passes be-for be-for the ball hits somebody's hands or the floor wins the match.
