New York Athletic Club
To Lose Water Polo Trophy

Carelessness by two New York Ath-
letic Club swimmers. who failed to re-
rev their expired registration cards, is
almost certain TO compel the Winged
Foot club to return the Metropolitan
Association water polo championship
which IL won recently.
The guilty youths arc Hal Vollmer,
the national champion swimmer, End
Steve Ruddy, VINO were members OF the
team. The registration committee is
expected to take action within the next
few days and order the New York Ath-
letic Club TO retura the prizes. The
disqualification of the New York team
will probably result in the Central and
West Side branches Of the Young Mems
Christian Association playing for the
water polo title.
A crusade against athletes who COM
pete with expired cards has been
started by the registration committee,
ard many arc expected to suffer sus-
pension within the coming week.

ball game where most Of those on the
field at the kickoff were not extremely
nervous as the whistle blew. Most OF
the great players always are, for this
nervousness is merely fuel to be used
later on in the shape Of uncovered
energy. The nervous player, as a
rule. can travel much further on than
the stoIid player can. He can stu
travel on his nerves after physical
exhaustion has arrived. where the
other type has no such outside or in
side aid.
This same system seems to apply
to golf. The most highly nervous Of

nervousness under fair control and
use it as an aid rather than as an

Freaks of Nerve

Phil Carter has one peculiar ner-
vous turn. He is unable to hit the
ball of the tee until he has addressed
it with seven waggles, three longer
and four short. He says that he
would be absolutely unable to make
his swing if he tried to hit before
completing this habit, all a matter of
nervous force. Part of this is due to
self-hypnotism, but this also is form
OF nervousness. There have been
many cases where nervousness has
brought disaster. but this only results
when the nervous system breaks
away from control. A player cap be
keyed TO a high nervous tension and
still have every culver of il held with
an iron grip. You never saw foot

Nerves and Golf

Possession Of nervous system seems
to give one the ammunition for the
extra effort that is frequently needed
at the supreme moment. The stolid
player can move along evenly, but he
can rarely rise TO the heights. Nervous
ness is frequently but another form of
surplus energy seeking TO force its way
out. One Of the most nervous golfers
we have ever seen is Norman Maxwell.
Yet this very nervousness is one Of the
reasons for his fine distance of the tee
and for the faculty he has Of making
brilliant shots at some critical moment.
In q recent match he had with Gardner
White the young Philadelphia star was

The general impression has gone
abroad among golfers that nervous
temperament is distinct disadvantage
to success. and that the stolid type only
succeeds. This impression might well
be characterized as moth eaten or well
out Of focus. For it is certainly wrong.
In looking back over the lists and
studying varying types you will find
that nervous temperament in many
ways is needed TO help one on to the

Hidden Nervousness

as both belong TO the highly nervous
type, Travers especially so. He has
told us Of championship matches where
he was almost too nervous to hold a
putter. where he actually dreaded to
make the shot, and yet many Of these
occasions were exactly where he did his
finest work. At certain other times,
where he felt more or less sluggish
and stolid, with no nervousness at all,
he was unable TO play anything but
mediocre golf.

Chick Evans belongs to the nervous

Gardner. two well known stars.
Bob Gardner, in his match against
Bobby Jones at Merton last September,
admitted TO an unusual nervousness all
the way through, especially when he
found himself down after eighteen
holes play Yet in this match. through
the last eighteen holes. Gardner played
his finest golf. On four holes in sue
cession he made uncanny recoveries on
shots requiring unusual delicacy. just
where one would think that an attack
Of nervousness would prove fatal. In
Gardeners case the proposition worked
just the other way. He had this ner-
vous energy to call upon.
We have seen Chick Evans in hard
matches, where the double champion
found il impossible 10 stand still, walk
ing back and forth and around in high

this never affected his play.
Oswald Kirkby is one of the extreme

hard matches he holds this under fine
control. as his record last season OF
eleven victories in twelve tournament
matches will testify.

How to Enjoy Ironing

If you enjoy ironing that means
that you do it as it should be done.
If ironing is a perfect bugbear in your
house it means that you haven't taken
sufficient time to work out the right
plan of attack. For in reality IRON
ing can be made a very interesting
task. 7
To begin with see that the light is
arranged properly. 1t should be bright
and it should come from the left side.
Then you should never begin ironing
until the kitchen or laundry is In APP

of room and there should be no soiled
dishes to interfere with the work. Next
look to the board. 1t should be COW

can be kept in place by the use Of a
