Witness of
Wrists Wins
In Golfing

Height and strength are undoubtedly
advantages to the man who aims to
be golfer removed from the dub
class, but this does not necessarily
mean that exceptional physical devel-
opment helps in playing the game.
In fact, the measure Of strength
which is represented by abnormally
developed muscles is inclined to be
more of hindrance than a help. A
certain witness in the wrists is essen
tial, but it is not in any way necessary
that they should be abnormally strong.
Flexibility is the power needed, and
exceeding strength is not always con-
oucive to faxibility.
In the playing of all shots in which
force has to be applied height is an
uhdoubted advantage. 1t enables the
golfer to stand well over the ball and
at the same time get all the power re-
quired into the stroke without the aid
of the acrobatic contortions which the
small man often has recourse to when
he considers it necessary to apply a
little more strength than is customary.
The tall man finds the task of play
ing out of rough places much more
simple that does his shorter brother.
In playing such stroke it is neces-
sary that the club should be brought
down vertically upon the ball, and the
man below average height, when en-
ploying an exceptionally vertical swing,
loses power.
y This length of arm enables the tall
player to make use CT comparatively
short club and still impart all the force
he wishes. The shorter man must use
club of at least average length, and
more often than not in order to obtain
sufficient length he has recourse to
club long beyond the normal, which is
always more difficult to control than a
short one.
There are compensations for The
short man, such as the fact that he is
better able to focus the ball on &C.
count of his eyes being nearer the OBJ
ject with which he is dealing; and.
moreover, the man of small physique is
invariably better balanced physically
than his bigger brother.

Practically Every tluntsman
in British Isles Attends
Meeting

The eyes of the horse world next
Thursday will be turned toward Cat
wick Course, about twenty-five miles
from London, England, and on the road
to Brighton. On that patch of kite
shaped sward known as the Horley
Estate the Grand National, or, to be
more accurate, the War National
Steeplechase, will be decided, and it
probably will be more interesting than
last year, when a crowd estimated at
100000 saw the gallop.
Hardly master Of hounds, hunts
man or huntswoman of note in the
British Isles but goes to watch the
race, for among those who love the
horse the National. since its inception
in 1889, has been regarded as the one
great test of the 'cross-country animal.
Totally unlike the crowd seen at the
Derby the National throng is the real
horscy element arrayed in tweeds and
covercoats, with preponderance of
the tailor-made woman and those of
the hunting field turnout.
AS to who might be in the royal
box on among the society element, it
matters little to the National devotee,
as he or she comes to see the race,
and nothing else.
After the declaration of war by Eng
land the Aintree Course, near Liver
pool, was abandoned and Gatwick was
substituted. but it has been claimed
that the going is not nearly so wicked
on the new site as on the old one.
Still, it is said that the Gatwick jour-
ney this year will be stiff enough to
test the mettle of the stoutest chaser,
for the fences have been thickened, and
wherever there happens to be a bit
of water it has been widened and deep
ened to make it perilous.
Water Jump Is Sixteen Feet
The big water jump has been in
creased to the full sixteen feet on
the landing side, while the bush fence
on the take-off side has been improved
to the real Aintree dimensions. that
is, five feet high and four feet thick
The length of the course will be sim

as Gatwick is two-mile circuit, with

ennis Ass n
Sends Supplies
To Men Abroad

Through the Y. NJ. C. A. the National
Lawn Tennis Association is sending
to the military forces in France sup
plies for eighty tennis courts. The
need was first voiced by Dr. j. H. Nc
Curdy, who sent word to this country
that the soldiers want eighty nets, 320
rackets and 160 dozen tennis balls. Sol
Metzger, of the Y. NJ. C. A., put the
matter up to Major George T. Adee,
president of the association, and then
1t was brought before the annual meet
ing.
There the idea was we'll received, but
no money was Immediately available
10 solicit subscriptions or contribu-
tions of supplies might consume MANY
valuable weeks. Moreover, it developed
that there is such shortage of sup
plies on the other side that they could
not be secured abroad, but would have
to be shipped from this country. In
view of the emergency, the suggestion
was made that part of the unexpended
balance OF the tennis ambulance fund
might be devoted to this purpose.
This action having been approved,
DR.. George j. Fisher, director of the
physical work bureau of the war work
council of the Y. NJ. C. A., made the
purchases. acting with representatives
of the association. Because of its
ability to get the goods shipped
promptly and distributed where most
needed in France they have been
turned over to the Y NJ. C. A.
Commenting on tbs transaction.
Julian S. Myrick, as yice-president of
the national association, said: "The
tennis public is glad of a chance to
render this service to our men abroad
Furthermore, the association and all
others interested in this undertaking
wish publicly to voice their apprecia-
ton of the cordial cooperation extend
ed by both the Y. NJ. C. A. and the Red
Cross, without whose assistance the
association could have done nothing"

carrying 1853 pounds. In that race he
was in receipt of eleven pounds from
Irish Mail, to whom he is now giving
five pounds, and was carrying even
weights with Ally Sloper, who now has
an advantage of eleven pounds, so that
on the whole the Captain has not done
exceedingly we'll with the Handicapped.
Ballymacad, the victor Of last year,
has an advance of nineteen pounds,
tie too much for him, although he is
an exceptionally lucky animal over the
Gatwick route. Only a couple of weeks
ago he won race there, a fact which
goes to show that no matter what he
may do next Thursday, he is thorough
ly wound up for the big chase.
Had not fate been, kind to Bally
macad he would not have accounted for

pearances winner, when, 10 and be-
hold, he took croppcr over the last
win comfortably. Carrig Park, now
second in. the weights, with 172 pounds,
was favorite last year, but fell.
Yarmouth has been let down four
pounds since last year, and the shrewd
ones think that it gives him bully
chance, especially as he is now eight
years old, the age which is supposed
to be the grand climacteric period for
National chaser
Irish Mail the Puzzle
Irish Mail is the real puzzle of this
years race, as he is either liable to
win in a canter, or to be badly beaten
A courageous horse and great
"leaper" over the stiffest country, he is
sure to make a gallant fight if he should
go to the post fit and we'll. When
Covertcoat won for Sir G. Assheton
Smith in 1913, Irish Mail was close
second, and in 1915, when the race was
last run at Aintree, Irish Maik started
as favorite, but faded away after clear
ing Valentines Brook the second time
around. He is reported to be doing
we'll in his preparatory work, and a
short price is laid against him.
To pick a winner in a steeplechase

to go en- form, this time it is very like

Golf Unproductive, Reason
Schools Deny Recognition

The question as to why golf is not
recognized as major sport in the uni
versites throughout the country was
recently raised at a gathering of golf
ers, one Of whom made the following
answer: an golf it's case of all going
out and nothing coming in. Football,
baseball, basketball and the track team
are producers, and the admissions
which are paid by the student body
and the public go to swell the athletic
funds of the"various colleges and pro-
vide them with the necessary money to
maintain their different teams, etc.
"The golf team is not producer, and
regardless of the fact that our edu-
Gators admit that it is the greatest
game in the world for teaching self
control, developing true spirit in
sportsmanship, bringing it's players
closely in touch with nature, and I'M
planting in their minds many of the
iGeals which are absorbed, rather. than
taught at many OF our leading colleges.

Harvard Asks Later Date
For Big Triangular Meet

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 16.--The
Harvard track management is making
an effort to have the date of the pro-
posed triangular meet with Yale and
Princeton shifted from May IS to one
week later. The day tentatively agreed
upon for this gathering of the clans
has never been solidly espoused by
Yale, for such a carnival at New Ha-
ven would have to buck big counter
attraction in the Eli-Princeton baseball
contest. But the Blue. like Princeton,
is DESTROYS of taking part in the meet,
and whether the later date will inter
fere seriously with the sch1 dule at
each of these colleges should be known
within a few days.
The Harvard military Office will hold
q regimental field day in May, and
those in charge prefer May 10 for it..
This makes it necessary to try to rear
range Harvard's several schedules. and
the triangular meet is the most impor-
tant Of them. Every member of the
regiment must take part in the field
day, which is to open with formal
review in the stadium. So the track
management has communicated its de-
sire to compete on Saturday, May 25,
at New Haven and is anxiously await
ing some word from it's two rivals.
This same day the Harvard and Yale
freshman track teams meet on the lat
ter's field. This, too, must lie taken
into consideration in arranging for the
triangular mingling.
Prospects for Harvard in track are
pretty SLIM" says Pooch- Donovan,
the veteran coach of the Crimson.

of letter men-a slight advantage, but
perhaps enough to win the meet. The
Tigers appear to have a we'll balanced
team.
NEARLY all the men at Harvard
showing promise are sophomores. In
the long distance runs we have some
who would develop into good travellers.
We have enough material for the
sprints, but what sort of running the
men will do remains to be seen. Har-
ward was never strong in the field
events, and this year is far from an
exception. Some of the regular col
lege events are without a representa-
tive, and we may have to forfeit in
some of them unless unexpected ma
terial shows up.
