PENNSY TEAM TO
GO AFTER TIME
Fast Relay Quartet Will
TRY to Break Its Own
Record.

Philadelphia, Feb. 26.-The Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania confidently eX-
nects 10 have another world champion
shin one-mile relay team. From the
form their runners have shown TINS
winter, the Quakers are sure that 'he'r
team can defend the title won las,
year. when il made new world rec
ord Of 3 minutes l8 seconds. Not only
that. but they believe the team will
break that record, if another team can
be found capable of pushing them TO
the limit.
) At the same time, the Pennsyl-
vanians have the utmost respect Tor
and certain amount of fear OF inc
Harvard team. IL was because Har-
ward pushed them so hard last year
that the Quakers ran in world record
time. They expect Harvard TO be
stronger this year, in spite OF tneir
victory over the Crimson runners III
the recent Hartford meet.
There will be one and possibly Two
changes from last year in the 1910
team. The star of the quartet OF
course. will be Ted Meredith. a The
OuakfTS are bbl NOli'th WV
that Meredith has been beaten In haii
of his races this winter. He has done
yerv littls training, and has run more
races than he should under the cir
cumstances. They attribute hs defeat
by DESMOND in the suburban quarter
mile in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening
to the fat that he had run n hard
quarter the night before. and IN addl.
ton had been obliged TO do a lot OF
travelling.
In addition to Meredith last years
championship quartet was made up OF
Don Lippincott, Joe Lockwood and
Frank Kaufman. Lippincott has grad
uated. while Kaufman has not yet
rounded into form. Lippincott's place
has been taken by Tommy Lennon, VINO
has been showing wonderful form as an
indoor runner. Lippincott was handi-
capped last year by a pulled tendon:
and vas always afraid to run himself
out Lennon has proved himself
faster indoor runner than Lippincott,
and il he can do as well on the out
door track he will strengthen the team.
Coach Orton believes that Lennon Will
be able to do 40 seconds. Right now
he is planning to work Lennon IN the
220 and 400 yard dashes.

Hard Matches.

Here is one sidelight well illrstra-
tive of the Travis method. 1t shows
his love Of hard match. even IN
friendly play.
Last fall at Garden City we played
with him in four-ball match against
Old Benny Sayers and Mr.. Temple
Gwathmey.
"We1l start you four up said Wal
ter J. Turning to US he added, This
makes a hard match. We can't loaf a
second or play a careless shot to win.
This is the sort of match | like above
all others. Hard uphill work all the
way"
The match finished all square when
Savers ran down a 20-foot putt on the
18th green.

altered a whole lot. ! have had some

the mixture has made me good and tt

This sort Of a career has given me

dence. When left Paris TO come back

As matter of fact. Moran when he
landed here from France was about as
broke as he possibly could be. Willie
Lewis, the trainer of Moran, weeps
when he tells how hungry they were
during the last few days in Europe and
how he had to shear Noran's hair with
his own fair hands because they were
so thoroughly broke.
~ got absolutely nothing for my
hardest fights" says Moran. But /

human nature. / am going TO capitalize
that now. paid for my experience
with hard knocks, but after all the
hard knocks my liabilities have become
assets"
Makes and Keeps Friends.
One little incident which happened
to come under our notice shows how
Moran makes and keeps friends. I'M
mediatelv after the last Coifey-Moran
fight, which left Frank rich from the
point of view of the average prize
fighter. We saw Moran racing down a
side street through the drizzle. He
was keeping in the shadow, so that he
would not be halted by the hero wor-
shippers.
We demanded 70 know why he was
not speeding somewhere in an automo-
bile to feast and 20 hear the plaudits
OF the multitude.
"I'm in an awful hurry" explained
Moran. 81 promised 20 meet some OF
the newsboys az the hangout tonight
and talk fight with them. I've a lot OF
newsboy friends, you know And he
broke into run as he hastened TO keep
the appointment.
There is hardly another fighter In the
world who could have resisted the
temptation of a triumphal procession
from Madison Square. And Moran has
his little vanties like all of them.
Though ne may seem almost stolid
under terrific punishment in the ring
Moran is very sensitive and tempera-
mental. He has some slight points OF
resemblance TO other prizenShters, in
cluding a right hand punch like that OF
John l.. Sullivan. but on the whole he
does not resemble any big fighter, past
or present
He is proud Of his French and proud
Of his. wide acquaintance with the
works of Shakespeare. If conversation
ever begins to lag with Francis he ia
apt 10 FIJI in the space by spouting an
act or two of Hamlet" at .he defence
less listener. Willie Lewis says that
while he. has never read anything by
that there author Bill Shakespeare,
he has heard everything he wrote a
dozen times or more.
The future Of Frank Moran may be
definitely settled about March 25. II
he should get that championship title
he certainly will make IL as popular as
did John L. Sullivan. Moran has per-
sonaity and he has magnetism, be-
sides genial disposition and kindly
and whimsical way of treating life that
wins friends.
We will soon know whether or not
those Partisan admirers OF Moran will
have the opportunity of hailing him
champion du monde!"

No. Walter j. Travis.

This spring, twelve years ago It was was
generally understood that a golf KING
had come TO rule the Ancient Green
of America for many years to come.
He had won the amateur champion
ship Of the United States in 1900, 1907
and 1903. And in the spring Of 1904 ne
had achieved the one impossible Mir
acle By crossing the water and win
ming The amateur championship OF
Great Britain.
His name was Walter J. Travis.
New-York tribune., 1916-02-27
The Short Came.

Walter J. was the first American
golfer 10 discover the value Of putting
and short approaches and TO give them
their due in his work Travis, Traver,
and Ouimet are the three greatest put
ters this land has ever produced, and
among them they have won eight anna
teur championships and two open
championships i'm sixteen years.
The one shot wherein Travis eXcels all
others in America. Travers, Ouimet or
any professional you might name, Is
the long approach putt From thirty
feet away on an average he will come
closer to the cup than any other golfer
in the world.

Sidelights.

There are more interesting sidelights
to Walter J. Travis than 20 any other
golfer America has ever known. lie
has played greater number Of rounds
than any other American and yet to-
dav he says he is fully as keei for
round as he was twenty years ago. No
living golfer has been through more
hard battles or has won such large
percentage Of his starts.

The Ways Of Fate.

But the ways of Fate are devious and
queer. That was twelve years ago. and
Walter J. has never won an amateur
championship since. lie has played
wonderful golf these twelve campaigns,
but thirteen years have passed since
he finished first in tn. |. 5. q. A.
classic. ,
From 1900 to 1904 Travis ruled
American golf. He has played even
better golf since without winning a
main championship. which is proof
enough of the games wonderful ad-
vance upon this continent.
New-York tribune., 1916-02-27
Differences.

Even in putting Travis Is quite diff
fereut from his two great putting
rivals. Travers and Quimet.
The two younger golfers each have
a pet putter they have used for years.
Travers still uses constantly the same
club he had ten years ago. But II
Travis is putting badly. which isn't
often. he will give his old club a rest.
And unlike Travers and Ouimet. the
Old Man will SHIFT his Eutting stance
from time 20 time. going IN more for a
feeling Of ease and naturainess than
for any set form Anything 20 dis
place rig dity. which he considers a bad
putting fault.

The Travis system.

This shows the Travis system Of
plav. No loahng, no careless shot, but
a steady PRACTICE of CONCENTRA-
TION even in friendly rounds.
Through this fine mental training,
well prepared, not only with the proper
physical skill. but with the correct
mental adjustment. Most golfers, in
friendly matches, are inclined 10 play
carelessly, to loaf along at various
stages and to carry only partial con
centration on their game. I'VE play
mainly for fun" they tell you.
Walter j. also played for fun. but
the only fun he could ge. was in play
ing the right shot in the right way.
lie could never see any fun in careless
or Indifferent play. even with nothing
At stake Which. with his hard prac-
ticc. explains his amazing consistency
through twenty years of golf.
The man who plays carelessly or is
content to loaf in an easy match will
find himself ill fitted for the round
that means a tight from the first drive
10 the last putt. For mental training.
proper concentration. IS as necessary
in golf as physical skill. Many prac-
tise the latter. but few give the former
anything but brief consideration.
