May Bring Olympic

written for the United Press.)
New York, Nov. 28-There is a pos
sibil.ty that the next Olympic games
will be held in America. There has
been no change in the decision to hold
the games in Berlin in 1915, but there
are number of reason, and good ones
that might influence the international
committee to decide on a change.
The first and biggest reason is that
Berlin, even should tn war btaoinsh
Berlin, even schould the war beover,
would not feel like entertaining such
a gala occasion, with thousands
throughout Germany still mourning
for the country's losses. Then, too, 1t
would be embarrassing to say the least
for athletes from defeated allied coun-
tries to go into Berlin to compete; If
Germany is beaten in the war, 1t would
be embarrassing to receive athletes
from victorious countries. or course.
if the war is not over, there wouldn't
be a chance for the Berlin games, and
it looks now like the European ma
tions viii continue tearing at each
others throats for another twelve
month
Excepting Denmark or Sweden or
Italy there isn't another country that
could handle the games. Denmark
had them the last time. Sweden and
Italy might be too near belligerent
territory for comfort. Ergo, as Doc.
Munyon might essay, to remark, there
is hope. f4

TWO MEN.
Contributed

(Contributed.)
Bill Skinner owned an auto the
largest in the town; he selfishly rode
all alone up the streets and down. He
never asked a neighbor whom he pass
ed day by day to take a seat beside
him when going along the way. Bill
had swelling of the head, caused from
well filled purse, his haughtiness
made pious men sometimes swear and
curse.
John Lovewell owned an auto, a
measley little Ford, and when he
cranked his engine he called out "All
board" and when children saw him
coming they laughed and loudly cried,
Hello there Mr.. Lovewell, won't you
let us have a ride?" He was sunshine
to the weary. and there never was a
day that he did not scatter kindness
everywhere along his way
John Lovewell made you happy; Bill
Skinner made you shiver; John had
an enlargement of the heart; Bill en-
largement of the liver.-One Eyed
Poet of Bitter Greek.

The art of catching a thrown ball
In the arms began to pass with the
development of tossing spirals. AS
the ball is now thrown it spins rap
idly upon its long axis. and is best
caught in the hands as basket ball is
caught. This is the surest way.
In attempting to catch it in the
arms the hard spinning ball strikes
the chest or stomach. sometimes with
vicious force, and in any event is
liable to bound out from the fingers
and thus be missed.
In 1906, when the forward pass was
first taken up, the old end-over-end
method of passing was in vogue, and
the ball, thus tumbling, was only to
be caught in the arms. as are most
of the punts today.
Not every player, even today, can
throw the swift. straight spirals;
there is a knack about it. Beginners
achieve it by pressing their fingers

against the lacing as the ball lies In
the palm of the hand; as the pigskin
is thrown the spin is thus Impaired
by the fingers. Good forward passers
attain the spin without having to
bother where their fingers are placed.

comes along, spinning sideways,
speeding towards ones arms like a

Spirals can be thrown extraordinary
distances. Mike" Boland of Prince
