Grand American Handicap
Leads All Sport Events
Have You Ever Witnessed Sporting Event in Which There

Trap Shooters at Chicago Last Year-They Are Expecting
More Then 1000 at ST. Louis Aug q at Worlds Series

tries is still far from being complete.
IL is expected that the entry list will
total more than 1000 trapShooters.
Think of it-l000 shooters In one
event Sort o puts the other sport
classics in the shade
Growth of Sport. .....t......
+ IL has taken the Grand American
Handicap Is years to arrive at its
present stage of development. There
were but "A entrants in the first cham
pionship tournament, held in 1900.
Little by little the tournament grew
for a number of years, but in the past
five seasons the handicap has made
great leaps forward Two years ago,
in Dayton, o., when the handicap had
a few more than 500 entrants, the feel
ing prevailed that trapshooting was
at its height, but last year in Chicago
the entrants neared the 900 mark
and everyone is pulling for 1000 or
more this time.
There was a time when two traps
was a great sufficiency for the &C. A..
H." as it is known to trapshooters-
now 10 are in use. There was a time
when Grand American Handicap re-
sembled a mammoth circus, with all
its tents, but there will be no tents In
st. Louis.
The buildings are permanent There
will be locker rooms, restaurant, pa
yilion for men and a ladies' restroom.
The equipment will be modern. There
will be a grandstand behind the pro-
fessional trap, on which all the special
events will take place. Sportsman's
park is the finest trapshooting park
in the United States-which, in broad
er words, means the world.
The &c. A. H." is being conducted
this year by the st. Louis Trapshoot-
ing Association.

Y. M. c, A, POOL
Feature Events Expected to
Brinu Out LARGE Crowd
Saturday Evening

The one thing of interest that looms
up on the athletic horizon at present
is the big indoor swimming meet at
the Y. NJ G.. A. on Saturday evening.
According to Glenn Jackson. physical
director of the Y NJ c. A., the seats
are expected TO be all sold by the
time the first event is called. and
perhaps before.
According to the swimming enthu-
siasts the crowd will be the largest
ever in attendance at an indoor meet
where admission is charged, and al
ready more than so per cent of the
reserved seats have been disposed
CT The feature events which will at
tract attention are the try for rec
ord in the 500-yard swim, the girls
races, the 100-yard novice events, the
:S0-yard championship, the intercolle-
eiate, featuring Harvard, Yale and
Cornell teams, the 200-yard open

) lay in an attempt to break the
worlds record. l.
Among the swimmers who will ell
ter are Duke Kahanamoku, George
Cunha, Harold Kruger. Clarence Lane,
John Kelii, William Kanakanui, Tough
Bill, Nitric Konawaloff and others.
The girls entries include Lucille Lee
gros, who holds the amateur record;
Rernicia Lane, who won in the last
meet, and Elizabeth Fuller, who is ex-
pected to be one of the future stars
of the swimmers here. Many believe
that she will make a great showing
on Saturday evening, and has been
picked as a favorite by many. So
is a sister of Bob Fuller, the diving
champion of Hawaii.
In addition to these entries Helen
Rosa and Carrie Lane will enter the
events and these feminine natators
are well known to- local enthusiasts.
Gerd ffiorth, MISS Fuller and Miss

ing the last two years, the alumni as
ISOLATION has about made up its mind
TO take complete charge of McKinley's
gridiron athletics, and has gone so
far as to appoint a committee to de-
termine the feasibility OF the project.
The committee is composed of Les
ter Marks, president OF the alumni;
w. Lsdd Rosa, for three years Me-
Rin'ey's star quarterback, and Bob"
Chillingworth, also a former football
man.
New Coach. .>....-.
Rosa has talked over the PROPOSE
ton with Richard Whitcomb, aasist-
ant physical director OF the Y. NJ. G.
A., and the latter has a man in view
who has had considerable football
training on the mainland Whitcomb,
who also is a gridiron expert, believes
that this man and himself will be able
to take hold of the Mckinley team
this fall and coach the players in ey-
cry phase of the game
The whole trouble with Mckinley
Is that players have never known the
inside Of football" says Rosa. In
the past coaches have taken up the
training where other coaches have
left off This Is not the way to train
young players who have just come
out of grammar school, as football is
seldom played in local grammar
schools on a scientific basis"
Rosa coached Mckinley in 1914 and,
as result, Mckinley that season beat
: Punahou for the first time in seven
years. Bill" started off with the
simpler tacticE, such as catching and
falling on the ball, passing the ball,
tackling and general team work. He
gradually led the men into heavier
work until they were able to go into
the field and play scientific game.
Mckinley. clearly showed last year
that coaching In the right way would
have done much. The boys worked
hard. but did not seem to grasp the
plays, and as result the squad made
poor showing in many of the games.

Rosa, Who Coached Team to Victory, Favors the Plan

IS TO have a fast squad, one that will

Two weeks before school starts a
squad of players who will go out for
the team should be rounded up and
given practise at least one hour a
day or perhaps more Throw the
ball around and get the first prin-
ripIes Of football down so that when
the real training starts the coach can
go ahead and work on the real plays
for the year. ..-:..
Preliminary Practise.
II Is not to be expected that the
squad can absorb all the football
tricks in two weeks, and while the
alumni association is working on this
move it might schedule preliminary
practise of throwing the ball around,
working cut plays, etc. before school
begins Every man on the team
should be able to handle the forward

for his team. They can get their
start in August as well as in Septem-

booting The ball over the bar and
through the posts will be of much
benefit. and il the high school can
start the season with a man who can
boot the ball from the 35-yard line,
and boot II consistently, they will
have added much to the offensive
strength
This move by the alumni associa-
