MAY PLAY WITHOUT CAPTAIN
Michigan's Football Team May 81
Without Leader In 1918-veteran
Material Reduced.

Michigan's 1913 football eleven may
again be captainless. Tad" Wieman
of California, who recently was elected,
has announced his intention of enter
ing the aviation corps. Wieman was
unanimously chosen for captain by the
IS letter men. Last year pat" Smith
of Bay City was chosen captain, but
when war came he joined the naval
forces.
Wieman played only Rugby football
before he came to Michigan. He made
the freshman team, however, and has
been a varsity star for two seasons.
He played tackle In 1916, but was shift
ed to fullback this season. He scored
1875 Of Michigan's 304 points in 1917.
Michigan's great mass of veteran ma
terial for her 1918 eleven Is steadily
being reduced. Sparks, Rye and Wes-
ton have been accepted for the aviation
service. All of these men were stars.

In order to ascertain the after-ef-

dents, DIR. james Naismith, head Of the
department of physical education ut

nOunced statistics compiled after ex-
tended correspondence with former
athletes. In securing his figures, DIR.
Naismith sent his inquiries to football
players on teams prior to 1907, believ-
ing these men should by this time be
able to detect any after-effects Of the
game. The questions were sent to
football men, as that game, he con-
sldered the most violent Of college
sports. To the question, "What injur-
les did you suffer while playing foot.

noses and sprained knees were their
common Affections. All but six stated
they had completely recovered from
their injuries. None was reported Sc

COULD NOT FIGURE
OUT GAME OF GOLF

There Is an amusing story told
of a man who had a clock golf
course laid out on his front lawn.
He was having his house paint
ed, and one morning the boss
painter came to him and said:
Don't you think you had bet.
ter have n real sun dial put on
your lnwn?"
The owner did not quite see
the drift Of the remark, and
asked why he should do such a
thing. He received this reply:
swell, for half an hour this
morning ! tried to figure out the
time by sthat contraption you
have on your front lawn, but no
matter how I figured 1t, I couldn't
make head or tail out Of 1t. So
I thought that you might like to
put up n sun dial that everybody
could understand"

SEVEN RULES FOR GOLFERS
Harry vardon Gives Cardinal Points
to Devotees Of Llnks-keep
the Head Steady.

Seven cardinal rules for golfers. as
set down by the famous Harry Var.
don, are as follows:
1. Keep the head steady and do
not let the left heel turn outward
then the body can only wind up when
the arms go back. ..,
2. Grip firmest with the thumbs
and fOrefingers-they are not SO well
adapted as the other fingers to the
purpose Of taking n strong hold, and
they are the most important Of all for
the purpose of the golf grip.
3. Let the club-head lead, the left
wrist turning inward, the arms follow
ing the club-head and the right hip
screwing next.
4. Don't throw the arms forward
as you start to come down as though
you were moving grass. Rather

Low WEIGHT KEEPS
GOOD JOCKEYS OUT
Shaw, Dugan, Powers, and 9th.
ers Cannot Make Scale.
Old Timers outeIassed Riders Of Pres.
ent Day Because Jockey Club Per.
sists In Racing a Very Low
Scale Of Weights.

Old timers on the turf are prone to
scoff at the ability Of the present.day
crop of Jockeys now riding in this coun-
try. They wall loud and long and
sigh the deepest of signs for the days
Of Slmms, Garrison. Spencer, Sloan
and the rest, who rode in the van
ished years termed "the good old
days"
As rule. there Is little sympathy
with those who continually harp on the
superiority Of athletes Of the past
over the present. Usually there is no
real basis for their contention that
participants In sport have grown less
skillful with the lapse Of years. How.
ever. when 1t comes to the jockey
question the old.timer Is right. The
present rider does not compare with
those Of ten years ago. They never will
regain their prestige, either, as long as
the Jockey club persists in racing Mt
the rldiculously low scale Of weights
now In vogue.
Dugan 10 Back.
Willie Dugan. Just back from Russia,
is great jockey. He has been rid
ing with marked success In Russia for
several years. He was recognized as q
top.notcher here before going abroad.
The war has driven Willie back to this
country. as II did his brother Eddie.
But Willie will not be able to ride
here. He Is no longer n youngster.
He cannot do 40 pounds and under,
and could not get enough mounts over
that weight under the present system
to hold his form.
Dugan is not the only sufferer from
the ridiculous weight scale. Take the
case Of Willie Shaw.
Shaw is a great jockey-greater
than Dugan ever was. In all the his.
tory Of the turf there are not half
dozen riders who can be rated be-
yond him. Shaw is here. ready to ride
but finds he Is too heavy. He has
been riding for years in Germany. He
too, Is out Of employment because Of
the war.
Powers Good Boy.
Then there Is Lincoln Powers. Just
few years ago he was the ranking
jockey Of the country on the fiat. Now
he has to ride over the jumps, be
cause he can't do better than III
pounds. Powers tried to train dowr
this spring and ride on the fiat again
He found the effort too much for him
Here are three instances, not O.
ordinary jockeys, but great riders
whose services would be available I'm
der sane scale. To the list might b.
added Joe Notter, who, although HI
can make 115 pounds, Is able to rid,
only In the big stakes, and Eddie Du
gan, who ut 112 pounds Is on tn,
ground most Of the time.

WINGED MESSENGERS IN WAR
Often When Telephone and Other
Communication Are Cut, Pigeons
Reach Home Safely.

Members of the Quaker City Con-
course association, one of the big ma
tional pigeon-flying organizations, have
expressed a willingness to supply the
government with number Of their
winged messengers for war service.
During the spring 1t Is expected that
thousands Of pigeons will be shipped
abroad. 1t Is reported that OF per
cent of the pigeons released in the
European trenches, often when tele-
phOnic and all other means Of COM
munication are cut off, reach their des.
tinatiOn in safety, thus delivering i'm

SHOULD FIGHT FOR COUNTRY
Prosecuting Attorney Of st. Louis De.
clares He viii Prevent Fighters
Appearing There.

Howard Sidener, prosecuting attOr-
ney, has announced that he will stop
all professional prizetighters from max
ing appearance here.
"The time has come when these men
should volunteer and fight for their
country" Sidener said. dispatches
from the battlefields of Europe tell Of
hand-tO-hand fighting. Professional
pugilists could win real laurels In such
battles, and ut the same time help the
country" II. =.

will not attempt to stop 1t.
