Nothing better illustrated this remark

for touchdown when the score stood

Business was held for downs on their

However, the wind was against Ray
Wise, the sterling little half back of the
Stenographers, and the punt fell short.
Ochsenreiter was the man TO take adyan-

with the determination of scoring. II
took just four rushes for the Tech marvel

times a player is called upon to make

After FIVE years OF decisionless bouts,
New Orleans has been rewarded with a
law calling for official yerdicts in twenty

Green and Ivory Game.
IDEA TO MAKE s HOLES

New York. Dec. l9.-Golf-pooI, the new
est indoor game. that combines all the
features of the putting green. is getting
to be all the rage at the leading clubs in
town. There is a tournament on at pres
ent at the Motor Club the first Of its
kind ever organized. but the popularity
Of the latest variety of golf game is
spreading, and soon tournaments will be
on at all the clubs where they have a
billiard parlor
The game can be PLAYED on any pool
table, each pocket representing a hole.
Instead of the putting iron, there is the
cue or white ball One other ball is used
and this Is the one the player must
pocket in the least number of strokes.
W. c. Poertner. who framed the rules
for the tournament now in progress at
the Motor Club, has made the game
rather difficult. Even the best pool or
billiard player must practice before he
can make a creditable score.
Each shot at the object bali counts a
stroke in the score. The object ball Is
spotted in the center of the table and
the shooter or cue ball is placed on the
upper spot. The player then starts the
round by trying to pocket the object ball
In the side pocket. representing hole No
l. When he has made the hole. the next
player starts. The object ball is spotted
in the center OF the table. but the cue
ball Is left where II rests after the pre-
ceding player had made the hole. Quite
naturally. the player who has just holed
out will try to leave the cue ball in a
position where II Is difncuIt for the next
man to play the hole. This bring into
play mans ability to play position at
pool or billiards.
Should the cue ball come to rest so
that the object ball cannot be spotted.
the balls are set up again as at the start
of a game.
One of the rules is that in making
a shot or stroke one OF the balls must
go to a cushion. This makes it hard
for a player who Is trying TO place the
object ball close to the pocket so
that he can hole out on his next shot.
1t compels him to put a certain
amount OF force behind the stroke, be-
cause il the object ball does not reach
a cushion the shooter or cue ball must

which is. TO say the least, rather unusual
for high school team.
Tech had an eleven that ranked in
speed. power, Judgment. and fighting
force with any scholastic eleven. Its line
was as good as any in the series. and its
backs were a quartet Of speed and
strength that rarely failed TO fulfill their
ground-gaining mission. In the roster

man as ever struggled for personal glory

other player in winning the title for his
team.

perfection in football rudiments, some
thing which undoubtedly did more than
