Cravath and Paskcrt would whip hard

out of the way, make Il feeble stab,

Meeting Nest Week
RELAYS APRIL "a AND rs
By EDWIN J.

IN AUGUST, 1917, Pennsylvania.
L through its graduate manager. Major
Mlylin j. Pickering, made a stand for
the of intercollegiate ath-
letics at a special meeting of the Ma
tional Collegiate Association in wash
ington, when IL seemed that the college
world was against such a policy. Penn
sylvania won.
Next Friday night in New York Penn
sylvania will make another stand for
intercollegiate athletics at the regular
annual meeting of the association. This
time Dean Mcclellan, of the Wharton
School and chairman of the University
council on athletics, will reveal the Red
and Blue policy together with three
other delegates, H.. l.. Geyelin, r. TAFT
Mckenzie and John Brown.
Want Mass Sports
1t is expected that the opposition to
intercollegiate sports will not be as
strong at the melting this year as 1t was
in 1917, when most of the colleges
wanted to quit all kinds of sports for
the big war game. This year there is
a tendency to cut down on varsity ath-
letics n lean toward mass sports.
Pennsylvania is not opposed to mass
sports. To word 1t better, Pennsylvania
favors mass sports, but not at the ex-
pense of intercollegiate athletics.
A meeting of the University council
on athletics was held in the Franklin
Bank Building late yesterday afternoon.
It was decided to continue all sports this
spring at a reduced financial cost. All
nonessentials will be eliminated and
everything held to a minimum.
Football Receipts Small
The football season this fall, although
conducted by the students army train
ing corps, was financed by the athletic
association and the returns were COM
paratively small. This deficit has caused
the new policy of retrenchment.
The winter sports. basketball, wres-
Ting, swimming, fencing 5nd gymnastics,
will be run as usual, but the ~appropria-
tons will be cut down considerably. Bas-
ketball is the only activity among these
sports that has proved to be self-sup-
porting.
1t was decided to hold the relay car
nival on April "a and 25 at Franklin
Field. The spring sports, such as la
crosse, baseball, track, soccer n row
ing, also will be continued. None OF
these sports made money last season
but the athletic association hopes to
make up the loss through the sale of
membership books.

This bit of news will be received joy
fully by the ~Speedboys and with gloom
by the other sohoolboys. Weiner was

MEN in SERVICE
FLOCK TOLINKS
Golf Appeals to Soldiers
Accustomed to a Life
Out of Doors
MANY GOLFING FAULTSt-
By CHARLES ("CHICK", EVANS

BY CHARLES ("CHICK"O EVANS
One Of the most striking things about
the hold which golf has on its devo-
tees is exemplifed in the way soldiers
released from the service or home on
furloughs are ~fioclSing to the inks even
now, when less hardy individuals have
put their bags in cold storage and are
playing their matches around the fire.
place.
To the soldier accustomed to an out
door life there is more attraction in the
golf links at this season. IL It is free
from snow. than at any other, for the
sting or the crisp wind is a kind of
wine which he enjoys and Of which Cen
eral Pershing would approve.
Many Of the soldiers one sees on the
links evidently are having it impressed
upon them strongly that the swing of
the golf club and the handling of a
rifle are two distinctly different occu-
pations.
Common Error
Tn goling fault which many of them
seem to develop after their absence from
the links is, curiously enough, one of the
common errors among. all golfers. 1t
is that of starting the turn of the BODY
for the down swing before the club itself
starts from the position behind the play
er's back. -
Inc eject of this error Is to throw the
swing out badly. The body. arms and
hands are ahead of the club and are
perpendicular with the ball before the
club face meets It. This is very likely to
produce a bad slice or to bury the shot
entirely.
any player who is having this trouble
must remember that in starting the down
stroke 1t should not be separate from the
rest or the swing, but rather the start
OF the complete movement.
Watch the Draw
A player who has a slice wants 70.
make sure that it is due to the way
ne Is drawing the club-face across the
ball-which causes the true sIice-ana
that he is not simply so swinging that
his ball is inevitably shot off in the
wrong direction.
Not a few golfers produce the effect
OF a slice through poor management of
their wrists. The defect seems to be
caused by arching the right wrist so
that the club face reaches tho ball at an
oblique angle, and this, of course, pro-
duces a hot to the right.
1t is comparatively simple to remedy
this fault. All the player has to do Is to
keep his wrists easy rather than rigid.
Men who are doing some golfng now,
after a long absence from the links,
should be on their guard against de-
veloping any bad golfng habits, until
practice brings back the old sense of
ease, rhythm and certainty.
