WHY GOLF GAME is POPULAR
One Sport Where Individual Is Su-
preme and Mistakes of Opponent
Do Not Assist.

Golf is the one game where the in
dividual is supreme. No matter how
poorly one man plays, the other can
not win unless he himself plays better.
The mistakes Of one player do not
themselves rid the other unless he
avoids making the same or other err
rOrs.
The tennis player scores when the
other player drives out of bounds or
into the net. The football team tai
lies when the punt is dropped or the
ball is fumbled. A dropped fly ends
many Il baseball game when victory
seems sure for the other side. And so
on in every sport but one, and that
is golf.
If the one golfer drives out of
bounds or tops his drive or shoots into
trap the other man benefits not at all
unless he plays better golf.

DO NOT CARE ABOUT WEIGHT
Jim corbett Conceded Thirty-Four
Pounds to John L. Sullivan and
Beat Him by CleVerness.

Corbett conceded "a pounds to John
L. Sullivan and beat him, for the rea-
son that COrbett was so clever the
larger man could not land his famous
knockout blow and was gradually worn
down by the speed of the lighter box
er.
Fitzsimmons was about 20 pounds
lighter than COrbett, but won through
strategy and hard punching.
Fitz gave way much more weight to
rugged chaps like Sharkey, Rubin and
others, but had no difficulty in proving
that the "bigger they are the 'arder
they fall"
At the same time, given two men
equal in hitting and science, neither
can coneede much weight to his oppO-
neERt.

Nothing is more despicable than to
deceive child in any way. Their plas-
tic young minds receive and hold inn
pressions that we can never eradicate,
try we ever so hard. In spite of all
the grownups can say the little ones
never feel the same love and respect
for those who have deceived them.
Even careless funmaking may leave
the scar which nothing can quite eradi-
cate. Do not break promise to a
child, and do not lie to it, even in fun,
for the great tragedy of childhood is
to lose faith.

ROWING OUTLOOK
IS Quite GOOD

CORRECT FORM OF EXERCISE
Both Indoor and open Water Training
for oarsmen Of Various Eastern
colleges-Reeattas Under
Certain Conditions.

Try C. HALsTED MAPEs. Chairman
Board OF Stewards, intercollegiate Row
ing Associatlon.)
While Il Is still too early to state
definitely the outlook for competitive
rowing during the coming season, |
feel confident that the sport will oc'
cupy n position Of Importance In the
athletic activities of the Eastern cCl-
leges in 1918. AS a means Of physical
development and recreation, rowing
has always held deserved prom'-
nence in the athletic life Of the under
graduate. There is, moreover, unGer
the present conditions, an additional
and pressing need for continuation oi
the upbuildTng Of the collegian both
from bodily and mental standpoint
l know of no better form Of exercise
to help TO achieve this than rowing
with its demand for perfect co-ordi-
nation of mind and body In the indl-
vidual oarsman and the crew as
whole.
To Continue Rowing.
That this Is thoroughly realized by
those in charge of athletics Mt the va
rious colleges, which have sent crews
to both Poughkeepsie and New London
in recent years, is shown by the plans
TO continue rowing, even though In
modified form, during the coming sea-
son. There will be both indoor ana
open water training for the Oarsmen
OF rnYnnI Damn CNlN1 niu
Yale, Harvard and Syracuse. Inter
class and college regattas will be held
and under certain conditions there is
possibility OF some intervarsity compe-
tition, although not upon as important
a scale as that which marks college
rowing in normal times.
Interest in Sport.
Fall practice was held at majority
of the institutions which have support
ed crews in the past and reports from
all these centers indicate that the stu
dents evlnced marked interest in the
sport, when the number Of unusual ac-
tlvities which are now a part of regu-
lar college work are taken into con-
Sideration. That this same interest
and enthusiasm will continue through
out the winter and increase with the
coming of spring appears quite certain.
Rowing will be supported so long as 1t
does not interfere with the more i'm
portant duties of the undergraduate in
his relation to his college and the
country at large, and those in charge
of the sport can be counted upon to
see the danger line is not overstepped.
