There was n time in football, and 1t
wasn't so long ago, when IL So
called small team defeated an eleven
representing one of the larger colleges
or universities IL would have been
guilty of lese majesty. II was seldom
that II happened. Occasionally, Of
course, one of the big teams came Il
cropper In an early-scason clash, but
for the most part the games served
the purpose for which they were sched-
uled-namely. the mediums whereby
coaches gradually developed their
charges for the feature games of the
season.
Score Over Big Rivals.
But I'm recent years these smaller
elevens have been scoring victories
over their bigger rivals more frequent

Johnson's rise In the athletic world
has been almost meteOric as one of his
home runs or triples that within the

reputation Of being one of the hardest

pastime has been his favorite sport

his ability in 1912.

FANCY STROKES HURT
Woman Tennis Wonder Believes
In Hard Hitting.
Moiia eJurstedt Says Value Of Chop
and All Cut Strokes Lies In Their
Unexpeetedness-Talks About
Her Own Game.

Molla Bjurstedt, the great tennis
champion, who has again won the Ma
tional Womens Tennis championship
ut the Philadelphia Cricket club, has
taken to the pen, too, Just like all other
great athletes have done and are do
ing. And In doing so she endeavors
to discuss various plays. The con.
troversial point of the chop stroke is
discussed ut some length by her In
her book, "Tennis for Women"
Defines Chop Stroke.
The chop stroke, us she defines It..
"hangs the ball In the air on account
of the back spin and drops 1t almost
dead after crossing the net" The
value of the chop and of all cut
strokes, Miss Biurstedt says, lies in
their uncXpectcdness and consequent
disconcerting effect upon the oppo-
nent. The danger of this stroke and
all other strokes which, she says, she
chooses to call "fancy" strokes, Is that
"they absorb the whole of ones
game" The result. Miss Bjurstedt de-
clarcs, Is game I'm which tricks take
the place of straight, hard plays. Fond
ness for the chop stroke she Is inclined
to trace to its efficacy against weaker
players.
Tells Of Own Game.
As to her own game, the champion
says:
II have never used the chop stroke
or stroke with an excessive top
spin. do not know how to play them,
and do not care to learn. Even II
I thought I could learn these strokes
without weakening my drive, am not
ut all sure that I should go to the
bother. To my mind they do not pay,
consider tennis n hard-hitting, placing
game, and l think speed and place
ment must eventually win.
