1NT r TRYING TO GET
DISTANCE

or three foozles he will relate with I'M
conscious humor what much longer ball
he often gets without hitting half SO
hard.
I That is. of course the explanation.
When not hitting hard it Is much easier
to time properly and to get more work
with the wrists; consequently, although
the physical effort is less, the club head
is travelling much quicker at the moment
of impact and when all is said that is
the determining factor where length is
concerned.
Correct timing, wrist action. fol-
lowing through. head steady and any
such hackneyed advice, If followed, has
the effect of imparting speed to the club
head at the psychological moment. The
novice realizes that the clubhead must
move quickly, but he not infrequently
commences speeding up in the wrong
place. For example. ii is no use trying
to add twenty yards to the drive by mere
ly quickening the movement of the
shoulders. In like manner il is no use
moving the upper arm more rapidly than
the lower. and continuing still further,
IL avails nothing to merely move the
hands. You can drag the hands forward
a considerable distance wnen grasping a
club without moving the head of the club
an inch.
Therefore, to sum up. as we can get al

calls for praise. Had Hampton, Howard
or Shaw possessed Howell, some man
would have been missing in their back
fields to make room for him. ] place him
in fullback for his ability TO make gains
when needed By line plunging.
Jamison, light, but heady. is a lodging
runner-back of a high class. He was
downed only when opponents held him
in a wise and seldom failed to gain when
ca led upon. His forte was worming his
way between adversarieS on the defense.
Capt Oliver of Hampton is given the
other position in the backfield for many
reasons As a runner with the ball ne
was very good. and as an interferer none
was better. He was fearless and hard as
tackling back on the second line of
defense.
This eleven in my judgment would
many times outpoint any other combina-
ton of the players. There are many
players on the teams at Lincoln, Shaw,
Howard and Hampton who are worthy
of favorable mention.

In Maryland are supporting basket bail
teams. 1t is more than likely that the
circuit would be made up of four and
possibly five teams-St. Johns. Maryland
Agricultural College, Washington Col
leSe and Western Maryland are the insti-
tutlonS which would be certain of berths
but 1t Is probable that Mount ST. Joseph S
also would be asked to join, and that it
would accept.
There has been some talk of forming
an intercollegiate basket bali league in
Maryland. Such an organization would
take in four colleges-Western Maryland
ST Johns, Washington College and the
Maryland Agricultural Col eye 1t is not
probable that the circuit will be effected
this year. but it is almost a certainty
that it will exist for the season of 'I4-'1J
All these colleges are now supporting
basket ball teams, something they have
heretofore not done.

greater distance only by moving the club
head quicker, 1t behooves us to see that
We do not put our extra energy into just
swinging our shoulders and arms What
We want to do is to speed up our wrist
action first, then it necessarily follows
that our arms and shoulders will move a
little more quickly in unison, but in the
same way the hub Of a wheel does not
travel SO quickly as the rim. the clubhead
must have the greater speed if our mech
anism is to be effective.
