A. A. u. DELEGATES
EXPECT MEETING
TO BE EXCITING
Some Records Made During the
Year May Not Be
Recognized
BY A. c. CAVAGNAR0

Disapproval Of some Of the recon-
mendations advanced by the legislation
committee in its recodification of the
constitution and bylaws of the ANA
teur Athletic Union is expected to
make the annual meeting at the Hotel
Aston tomorrow an exciting one. The
delegates who are TO pass on the con-
templated changes have already begun
to arrive in town, and as the proposed
amendments were mailed 70 them a
week ago they will come prepared to
wrestle with the problems presented.
Although the changes OIL the whole
have for their object the stricter def
milton of an amateur. the effect of the
committee TO strike out the registration
of women swimmers Is expected to be
bitterly fought. In the local associa-
ton, the New England and the Middle
Atlantic-three Of the biggest districts
in the Union-and the Hawaiian Asso-
citation, sentiment is against such action
and the delegates will probably come
instructed to oppose this recommenda-
ton.
II also is proposed to make only anna
tours eligible to serve as delegates in
future.
Following the usual custom, it is be-
lieved that no candidate will be put in
the field for the presidency against
George j. Turner, of Baltimore, the
present incumbent.
Report has IL that William Prout,
president Of the New England Asso-
citation. is eager for the secretary
treasurer position to move to some
other city. This Office has been held
by Frederick w. Ruben for the last
two years.
The acceptance or rejection Of the
worlds and American records estab-
lished during the year will be another
important matter up for consideration
One mark in particular. the l5-mile
walking performance of Eddie REM,
Of the Mohawk Athletic Club, who
was credited with 2:06:063-5 on the
Celtic Park track. will doubtless arouse
considerable discussion. In this in
stance it will be argued by some that
there was gross mistake made in the
timing.
Another walking mark, the rejection
! Of which will be urged by several dele
gates. is the time Of 1887, made by
George II. Goulding, the Canadian, in
winning the senior indoor national
championship in March of this year. 1t
is contended by Herman Obertubbes-
, sing, member of this district, that
Goulding ran the last 100 yards of
the event
In the case of Dave s. Caldwell, OF
! the Boston Athletic Association. who
set new worlds record of 1913 1-5 for
a 600-yard run, it is alleged that the
track was several feet short to the lap.

YALE FRESHMEN
DIP COLORS TO
CRIMSON RIVAL

New Haven, Conn, Nov. lS.-The
Yale freshman eleven was unable 20
withstand the attack of their heavy
Harvard rivals, and went down to a
p to 6 defeat in the Yale Bowl this
afternoon. The Harvard team out
weighed Yale to h man in the line.
The visiting backs were fast and power
full, ripping through for first downs re-
peatedy.
The game was featured by the line
plunging of Horween and end runs BY
Church and Hobbs. Yale TesOrted to an
open game, using the forward pass
with good success, their only tousa
down being the result of series OF
forward passes that carried the ball
from their own 25-yard line to Har
wards 2-yard line. Murphy carried It
over on the first play for touchdown,
but failed to kick the goal.
One of HaWard's touchdowns came
in the fourth period, when Woods fell
on the bal back Of the Yale goal, where
it bounded after an attempted forward
pass from Yaie's 2O-yard line was
blocked. Hadley kicked the three goal.

it was Yale's alertness in the last two
quarters that overlooked no bets and
that rushed to victory each chance Of
iered by the opposition.
Yale played high class football after
she once got her balance. Her line,
led by Captain Black, more than held
its own. La Roche handled punts ex-
ceptionally well and improved his gen
oraiship immeasurably toward the close.
Yale deserves unlimited credit for such
an exhibition when the hard luck she
has suffered all year is considered and
when one figures the rough and-tum-
bic schedule that has brought no chance
to rest.
As for Princeton. the above Is we'll
night sufficient. Her one dependable
point all season had been a strong de-
fence. But this defence was broken,
rot only by Yale's attack. but by her
own errors OF omission. commission
and whatever missions may be left, A
fine defence is no safeguard against
fumbles, poor strategy and sluggish
ness from within. IL is only good to
help cover up a defeat, not 10 launch
victorious drive.
Princeton felt badly enough at New
Haven last year. She felt even worse
to-day. And still there is no light left
against her horizon for the future. III

McCulIoch Makes Only
Score for Violet Against
Heavy Southerners

Maryland State College sprang big
surprise upon the New York Uniyer-
sity football eleven yesterday after
noon on Ohio Field, when they sue
ceeded in defeating the locals by mar
gin Of three points These three points
came in the opening few minutes Of
the first period on long drop kick by
Brewer from the 35-yard line. This
kick proved TO be the deciding factor
Of the contest. inasmuch as each team
scored one touchdown. The final score
vas 10 to 7.
On the offensive the Blue and Gold
aggregation from the South showed its
superiority over the Violet all through
the contest. Time after time the Wis
itors plunged through right tackle for
substantial gains that Melted first
down almost at will. The Violet eleven
frightened up Oil several occasions and
held Maryland for downs, put ii was
chiefly through intercepted forward
passes and recovered fumbles that the
locals stopped the marching advances
of their rivals.
Weak Line BOthers Y. Y. L.
The defensive work of the Violet was
not particularly at fault during the en-
tire contest. Warman, Brinn. Howard
Cam and Carroll seldom let their man
get away from them on end plays. The
tackle position was weak, and hence
the Marylanders could get good start
before the backs had a chance to down
them.
The Violet eleven played splendid
running game from start TO finish. The
entire backfeld put up some real exhi-
billions, encircling the ends for contin-
ual gains. II was on line plunging
and forward passing that they proved
weak. Out of four forward losses at
tempted during the game not single
one was successful. Mackenzie, at
quarterback, showed poor judgment on
several occasions by trying to pierce
the Blue and Gold line. The Cam
brothers proved to be the only efec-
tive men in that capacity.
The first scoring Of the game came IN
the first quarter. Brewer made 3D.

and at the same time continue to hold
his body in an easy attitude, unre-
strs.ined, but at the same time i'm
movable.
There was at no time any effort or
attempt to bunch his shoulder or his
right nip into the stroke, as so many
golfers do.
And then we recalled the putting
manners and methods of Travers,
Travis and 0uimet, three Of the finest
putters golf has ever known.
Their stances, their grips, their atti-
tudes, are not nearly alike. Travis
stands with his feet well separated,
bending over the ball much more than
Travers does, who stands with his
heels only few inches apart. Ouimet
has both elbows extended. differing
from both.
But there is this one point in com
mon-they not only keep their eyes
on the ball, but their bodies never
culver with the stroke-the wrists, the
foreerms and the club do the work.

. The Case of Worthington

Here is case In hand. James S.
Worthington, now visiting this coun-
try, is one of England's leading golf
ers, only shade, in fact, below Harold
Hilton and John Ball.
Worthington is a fine, straight player
from the tee to the green. And once
on the green he IL one Of the finest
putters that ever laid a forty-footer
dead or holed consistently from six TO
eight feet away.
A few days ago Worthington was
playing in a four-ball match that in
cluded well known Scotch profess
sional.
The Englishman, putting wonder
fully well, soon attracted the attention
of one of the contenders.
The man referred to noted at once
that the English player, while putting,
held the forehnger of his right hand
down the shaft of the club. He called
attention 10 the fact at once. as he
tried the system out.
That's the trouble with so many
Of you golfers" remarked the profes-
sional. ,"You see this man is fine
putter and your attention is drawn
at once TO the unimportant part OF his
play. The way he holds his forehnger
or his thumb has nothing at all 10 do
with the case. II you want to find on.
why he is fine putter, watch his body
as he puts. Watch 1t and you will
find that it doesn't move the fraction
of an inch. You will find on the short
puts he uses only his wrists and fore
arms, and that his body is as immova-
bic as rock. Which is one Of the
main reasons that he can putt"

Keeping the Head Still.

The easiest aid to keeping the body
still is 10 first keep the head still. The
head directs the body. IL the head
moves. the body is sure to move with it.
IL has been proved that man can
look at the hole, not the ball. and still
putt very well-provided that in look
ing at the hole he keeps his head fixed
in one place, and. therefore. keeps his
body from swaying out Of line.
A moving head or moving body, in
putting. not only takes the club away
from the proper line, but it brings in
an immediate tendency TO iab or push
the putter.
You may notice on certain days.
when feeling sluggish, that you putt
very well. The answer Is that, not
being keyed up, you are willing to let
the wrists and club do the work. Over
eagerness and over-anxiety is almost
sure TO cause q shift of the head and
body before the putter's blade strikes
the ball

ROUSH OUTHIT KAUFF
BY 3.p0INT MARGIN

Cincinnati, Nov. 1s.-The joke OF
jokes; Ed Roush outhit Benny Kauff
on the season! And McGraw kept
Roush benched, featured and headlined
Kauff and finally chucked Roush in as
"boot" in the trade for Mathewson.
When New York acquired the two
Federal outielders, Kautf and Roush,
many close watchers of the game de-
clared that Roush was the better.
There was no question as TO their rela-
tive outfielding skill-Roush is mile
ahead Of Kauff when it comes to
ground-coyering sure c!utching and ac-
curate throwing.
1t was believed by McGraw, however,
that Kauf would surely hit 60 10 20
points ahead of Roush, and so Kautf
was made circus feature, while Roush
was tossed away. And now, behold /!
Roush hit ,267 to. Kauff's ,26i, and
Roush is counted as the better of the
two almost every way from the jack!

Looking at the ball" is supposed to
be the most important detail in put
ting. Which of course il isn't. II is
better to look at the ball. But the
mar who looks at the hole and keeps
his head still will putt better than
the man who starts looking at the ball
and then shifts his head just as the
ball is hit-which about Is out of 20
do most Of the time.
Good driving is a matter Of rods;
good iron play a matter Of yards; but
good putting is matter Of inches, or
less than an inch around the cup.
Therefore. 1t stands to reason that the
slightest fault, an almost impercept-
lble shift of the body. may bring the
putt slightly TO the right or left Of
the cup.
II the game was replete with golf
ers who kept their heads and their
bodies still while putting. the game
would be replete with good putters.
But there are only few who do this
consistently, consequently there are
only few who are consistently steady
once they reach that smooth and roll.
ing surface that holds the answer TO
golhng SUGGESTIVE bottom Of the
cup.

but the fact remains that it is the
foundation of steady, successful put
ting.
The golfer who takes an easy, COM

his body out of the stroke, is almost
sure 70 be first class putter. And
if he makes a habit of this he is just
as sure to be a good putter in hard,
close match as at any other time.
Putting, of course, is getting the
right line and then getting the ball as
far as the cup.
But the golfer who moves his head
or puts his body into the stroke is
pretty sure to get away from the right
line, and also to be far short or well
over.
There can be no chance for any
delicacy of stroke with the head NOV
ing or the body shifting, and yet nine
golfers out OF ten persist in both
faults-and still wonder why they are
poor putters. Just as If some one ate
