Mr.. Justice had been invited to adj
dress the school children and he made
them an interesting "off-hand" talk.
The speaker congratulated his audi
enee upon the excellent facilities and
many opportunities not to be had
when he was a school boy, and advised
the pupils to make the most of them.
He said that while the children could
not properly appreciate their advant-
ages, they could by hard work pre-
pare themselves for a useful life. He
advised them to be ambitious and
"hitch your wagon to a star" He told
the girls that a new era had dawnee
for them, that their opportunities we're
increasing from year to year and that
there are numerous places of trust, i'm
1uence, responsibility and usefulness
open for them to I'LL.

TILDEN DESCRIBES METHOD
TO MAKE FOREHAND DRIVE
Offensive and Defensive Strokes Are Defined
and Examples Given for Benefit of Those
Studying Scientific Lawn Tennis
BY WILLIAM 7. TILDEN, I'd

, by an excessive drop impaired by swing
ing sharply up on II and hitting Il a
glancing blow. Meet the ball fair with
the full face of the racquet. and put your
top on at the end of the shot by laying
over" the ball, as the expression goes,
Thus your whole weight is back of the
shot, yet 1t loses no direction, since you
can hit either side by changing the posi-
tion OF your feet.
Relations between footwork. racquet
and direction of shot will be much moro
closely understood If one looks on their
feet as the rudder which directs the shot
and the shot travels along a line deter
mined by the feet.
To drive down the line from the first
or right hand court the feet should be
parallel to the line with left foot about
10 to Is inches ahead of the right. The
racquet travels with nat face into tho
ball Mt the crest of its bounce, and as
1t meets 1t the weight shifts from the
right foot, into the shot. unto the left,
and the top is put on the drive.
For the cross-court shot the same rules
hold equally true except the left foot
Is advanced nearer the side line and
across the right and there is more pulp
TO your shot and not quite so much
speed.
From the second or left court the rules
for hitting down the line hold exactly as
they do for the right court as regards
footwork. weight and racquet. but to hit
cross-court from the left imagine a line
drawn from your back hand baseline
corner to his backhand baselne corner
diagonally across the court and then ap-
ply the rules for footwork given, namely,
teet should be parallel to it, while the
toes should make right angle with it.
DO not try and change the style of your
forehand stroke to hit to different parts
Of the court. Keep the stroke the same,
but vary your courtwork length and
pace.
All this has been in the light of the
forehand drive as an offensive stroke.
Thus to sum up:
First. Regulate footwork to determine
direction.
Second, Use consistently even. fast
pace.
Third. Do not change style of stroke
as direction changes.
AS defensive stroke the drive needs
comparatively little explanation, since II
should not often be used In that manner,
When so using 1t. lessen your pace and
in general merely play 1t as deep as pos
sible and to your opponents bad hand
That policy, II carried out consistently
amounts at times almost to an attack,
since deep shot is always hard to do
much with.

Second. The defensive:
/. The lob.
., Usually tho chop stroke.
3. Occasionally the drive
Never use your net game defenslvely;
1t must always be the attacking point
With this classification of strokes in
mind we will turn to the forehand drive,
or ground stroke. This is the shot which
is so often miscalled "Lawford." II is
not the Lawford stroke and should be
developed along totally different lines.
We will consider this first from the at
tacking or offensive attitude. This stroke
should be the foundation of every back
court game. It must have: % Direction.
(2 Length distance into the opponent 8
COURT. (3) Pace Ctennls slang for SPEEDY,
(D Top Cthe spin which causes the bali
to drop holds 1t in COURT.
Direction comes from footwork; length,
from experience; pace, from the swing
of the arm and relation to footwork; top
Is pure racquet work.
Repeating from previous article, every
ground stroke Is made up of three parts
in one swing U Speed or pace, that part
of the swing made behind your body (2)
Direction and length combined made even
with your body, the middle of your swing,
and go Top, made just in front of your
body, the end of your swing.
The racquet should swing with very
nearly n fiat face-that is no cut on the
ball-and should meet the ball just about
the top of the bound, as the ball starts
TO fall. The shot should be made with
the weight swinging into it at moment of
meeting the ball, from the right (or back)
foot on to the left (or 'front.' foot. Just
as the ball leaves the face of the racquet
let the racquet lean over the ball, thus
imparting the top. Do not try TO put
drop on tennis ball by either under
cutting 1t, which will cause 1t to rise, or

FOOTBALL BODY
FAILS TO PLEASE
PENN STUDENTS
Pennsylvania, in Editor
ial, Says Support of Un-
dergraduates May Be
Withdrawn

The Pennsylvanian. the daily organ 6
the niversity Of Pennsylvanlu, in an ed
torial under the caption. "Two-thlrd
Request" prints the following:
Six hundred and fifty Of the thou
sand Athletic Association members
who voiced their opinion in the cleo
tion of directors are demanding an
explanation of the constituency of the
1916 football committee.
These men want to know why two
men elected by overwhelming ma
jorltles did not find places in that
body; why another man. overwhelm-
lnSly defeated, is now member OF
that committee.
The football committee. as announced,
was distinct surprise and n dlsap-
pointment to the two-thrds who had
impliedly expressed the desire that
Hollenback and Minds be members
thereof
The meagre report that both de-
clined nomination will not appease
the majority who participated in the
recent election. As a consequence of
the action of the directors, unaccom-
panied by an adequate explanation,
there is open dissatisfaction expressed
on all sides.
There is no doubt but that the Foot
bal! Committee was carefully and
thoughtfully selected. There Is no
doubt but that those who now feel
that their vote has been disrcgarded,
will In time he satisfied to tho con-
trary, and will realize that the action
taken was the right one. But at any
rate, the Athletic Association, by its
lack OF foresight, has antagonized the
majority. Resulting from this antago-
nlzatlon is talk of openly denouncing
the association in the fall
The men thus acting are thoroughly
conscious, but they have been left In
the dark. Where people feel that they
have been openly houted they do not
stop TO consider whether or not their
consequential acts are ethical.
The dissatisfaction growing out of
the apparent failure of the board of
directors to take into account gradu-
ate and undergraduate sentiment can
be allayed by a statement from that
body In making such a suggestion
the Pennsylvania Is not advancing
the cause OF any one aspirant to the
position of head coach. The request
made Is rational one, and as the
matter now stands about the campus,
the otlcers OF the association will be
unwise in disregarding II.
The greatest need of the University
Athletic Association Is the solid back
ing of its membership. II needs the
support of all factions; of every
graduate and undergraduates
The head coach for next year
whether he be Dickson. Folwell BEN
nett or Hollenback, needs this same
support 1t can only be obtained BY
the circumspect action of the directors
in giving all Pennsylvania men an ex-
planation of the recent meeting
