NEW YORK.--Night had fallen over

mo Sportsman" Is Verdict on the German

SpOrtsmen of all kinds, whether or
not interested in racing, are concerned
in this action. The sportsman is the
gentleman of sports. He plays fair.
He is a good winner and better loser.
"All men are equal on the turf and
under it."
The racing sportsmen of England
and Belgium have served notice on
the German that by their standards
he is no sportsman.
This action will be a crushing blow

On With the Dance, Let Joy Be Geometric

cal dancing as provided by the high
school deans association rules.
First. remember these don'ts:
Don't melt into your partners
arms. girls: don't wriggle: don't
writhe. Don't indulge In that Ian
gushing movement"
Now take your ruler and measure
yourself off about six or seven inches
from your mariner. Scale your bodies
with your compass TO see that they
are exactly parallel from head TO foot.
Then. quoting the deans rules again:
Leader places his right hand lightly
between the shoulders of his partner,
keeping the elbows at an angle OF 90
degrees from his body, his left hand
extended, palm up, and clasps his
partners right hand.
Partners left hand rests lightly
just back of the curve OF the leaders
shoulder, her elbow at an obtuse
angle from her body and not resting
upon that Of the leader. A straight
line from these bent elbows would be
parallel with both bodies"
Maintaining these postures, the
couple glides Off into the new geo
metrical dance. It's all parallel lines
and angles.
