The Sudden Change

On one day, in the last British Open,
Abe Mitchell breezes around easily in
a So, Which is to say that he gets his
SO without having to work for it.
But just day later, with the nerv-
Gus tension increased where perhaps
he is trifle over -golfed, he has to
work his head off to get an 83-14
strokes difference with only twenty-four
hours intervening. If such an abrupt
change can assail great professional,
it is easy enough to understand why it
should attack dufer with even greater
fury and with even more disastrous re-
suits.
1t all comes back, Of course, to a
matter of coordination, meaning team
play of the brain, nerve and muscle.
When this team play is working
IN good order miracles may result.
But when it isn't only trouble will
follow
If my head. body, hands and feet
all feel to be one piece of machinery,
| can score" says Miss Alexa Stirling.
"But if my head and feet seem to be
two distinct things, then | know | am
headed for trouble"
Team play is supposed to feature
baseball and football. But how many
golfers ever figure that it is also vital
part of golf?

For High rize
Inv eekly Shoot
Also Wins Leg ON Buer-
meyer Trophy at Traps;
Brown Takes Club Gun

Seventy-fve gunners, the large. field
that has shot at Travers Island so far
this winter, took part in the weekly
shoot of the New York Athletic Club
yesterday. Not only was the field a
record one, but the scores were de-
cldedly better than the ones turned in
each week. The high scratch gunner
was E. D. Anderson, who had the ex-
cellent score Of SO out of a possible 100
targets. He also was the winner of a
leg on the Buermeyer Cup, with full
score of SO targets.
There were so manv gunners on the
firing line that the committee found il
impossible to shoot off for the high
scratch prize and the weekly Travers
Island Cup. These will be decided next
Saturday. The distance handicap. how
ever, was shot, the winners being r. l.
SPOTS and N. Webb, each with a
straight run of 25 targets.
Being the final Saturday Of tho
month, the weekly fixtures all came to
an end. The largest winner was J. l.
ID. Bristol, who took both the Hasiin
and the Monthly Cup shoots. The

New Coach to Pay Particu-
lar Attention to Devel-
opment of Ouarterbacks

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 28.-The
engagement of Tad Jones as Yale's
new long term football head coach will
begin the coming week, when he will
arrive from the West. He has left
Seattle And will take charge Of the
squad before the close Of the week.
Because Of Yalos poor showing in
rudimentary play he is eager to get
the squad at work in the gymnasium,
and some Of the candidates. notably
those for center and quarter, will prob
ably spend three weeks in wording
upon technical details OF handling the
ball before the outdoor season begins.
Jones regards the development Of II
quarterback squad as the keystone of
the gridiron arch, which he is eager
TO construct on a solid foundation be-
fore the opening Of the 1924 campaign.
1t was agony for him to witness the
inferior campaigning Of the last sea-
son. for Jones was himself probably
Yale's greatest quarterback, and one
Of its greatest feid generals.
Of q galaxy which includes Harry
Beccher, Vance Mccormick, George
Adee. Guy Hutchinson and Arthur
Howe, Jones probably shaded all be-
cause Of his greater weight and line
ramming ability, although Mccormick
cxcslled him as a drop kicker.

there are golfers who can keep straight
down the middle with only average
length.
No one minds meeting an opponent
who is long and wild. The one you
have to fear is the golfer who "isn't so
very long, but who is right down the
middle and rarely in any trouble"
Timing is needed to get good dis
tance. But both timing and control
are needed to get direction.
And even with the finest golfers this
sure touch must come and go. 1t is
never constant.
There are days when q good profess
slonal or star amateur can do almost
anything with the ball He can hook
at one hole and slice at the next. de-
pending upon the wind or the approach
to the green. But by the next day he
may not dare to take any such chances,
Douglas Edgar says that he knows he
will have control of any shot he wants
to play if his hands feel thin on that
particular day. In that case he will
work for slice or hook in deliberate
fashion to get his approaches close
But if his hands feel thick he knows in
advance that he won't have the perfect
timing needed to place his shots in such
fashion.

Coach Of Syracuse
Eleven Is Opposed
To oChange Of Rules

SYRACUSE. N. Y, Jan. 29.-"Chick'
Meehan, s. use University football
coach, is opposed to the proposed ex-
ira period in football to play off tie
Meehan believes that if two evenly
matched teams have battled four per
rods to an even score the chances are
pretty slim they will settle the matter
in an extra period or two. In addi-
tion. he cites the additional risks run
by the players in regard to injuries
and for these and other reasons takes
stand against the scheme.
G. N. Bankhart, an official at sew
eral Eastern games, is the author of the
plan,' which has been received variously
by football men throughout the coun-
try.
The possibilities of settling a tie
game in football" says Meehan, care
quite small if you have two equally
matched teams. If they played four
periods to a tie, then it is almost a
safe bet they would not be able to set
tie it in an extra period, or two, per-
kaps.
Then, too, the players would have
to be taken into consideration. Now
there are four periods, and in that
time the men get a lot of action. Il
additional time was allowed it would
mean that the running backs would be
under much greater strain and in
more danger Of getting laid up.
Take the Pittsburgh game
last fall. Both played to tie battle
The running backs figured in most of
the attacks and were being tackled very
hard by the linemen Of both elevens.
Had they played an extra period the
chances are very slim that the game
would have gone any other way, and
the chances Of crippling the halfbacks
so that the teams would have been in
poor coidition for next weeks games
would have been too great.
"The crowds would also have to be fig
ured on. They come to see the big stars
play unless they are alumni. Now il
one of the men gets hurt it means that
he will not be able to show at his best
or even get into the game, and the spec
tators are disappointed. Besides, if the
man hurt does improve for the game he
is lost for the practice during The week
and that tends to break up q smooth
running eleven to a certain degree"

Mild Weather
Has Increased
Use. of Autos
Gasoline Consumption Away
Up Because Roads We're
Open; 100000 More
Cars in Use Than Year AGO

AS result of unusually mild
weather throughout the country this
winter approximately 5000, 900 more
passenger cars and trucks are in serv-
ice than were being used year ago.
Many Northern states which are
usually snowbound during several
months Of the year have had only a
few light snowfalls so far this winte,
and automobile traffic has never been
impeded. The result has been that
thousands OF motorists who formerly
stored their machines at the first sign
Of King Winter have kept them con-
tinuously in use.
The best indication Of the increased
Use of automobiles is given by reports
from gasoline distributing companies
in widely separated sections which
show gasoline consumption this winter
III Northern states is at least 15O per
cent greater than last year, many cities
showing increases ranging as high as
400 or 500 per cent.
The largest gains in gasoline con-
sumption were shown by cities in
northern Michigan and in states along
the Canadian border which usually are
snowbound from fall TO spring No
section of the country reported an in
crease of less than 90 per cent.
Reliable estimates placed the number
of cars in use last winter-which was
unusually severe-at 4,50o00O. This
year it can be conservatively estimated
that at least 100000 are in service
Part of the increase can be attributed
to the larger number of cars owned,
but the favorable motoring weather is,
Of course, the greatest factor.
Tire manufacturers predict that this
increased use Of cars WI, have an ap-
preciable effect upon the demand for
tires next spring and that an actual
shortage may occur as sult.-Travel

He believes it would offer a means OF

The New York State Motor Fedora

that 1t IS easy to get car back

Herreshof's Case

When the late Fred Herreshotf was
playing his best golf and he came to &
hole that called for drive and a short
pitch over trouble, he almost invariably
used an iron from the tee in order to
have longer pitch where he could hit
the ball with greater firmness and not
be called upon to make some 40 or so
yard approach where he had to get the
ball up. 1t was the short pitch of this
type that prevented Jack Burke from
being open champion in place of Ted
Ray
Coming to the seventh hole at Inver-
ness he almost drove the green He
was left with a short pitch over &
guarding trap with his bali only twen-
ty-ive yards away. A four here would
have landed him in front of the field.
But in his keen desire, to be sure Of
clearing the trap, he hit his pitch a
trifle too firmly and overran the green
into trap beyond where he finally took
6. Yet on such short pitch there
is always the tendency to hit the ball
triae too softly and find the bottom
of the guarding hazard.
In any championship test rare con-
troll is needed on this type of shot
where the nerves are taut and a com
bination of firmness and delicacy must
be used.
