art OF hPading, 1t is better that COM
paratively soft ball should be used. 1t
is more difficult to control a soft ball
than hard one, but the fact that it is
soft gives the beginner more confidence,
or possibly less fear that it will hurt
him. Two or more men can practice it,
endeavoring to put the ball to each other
at height and with force sufficient to
enable it to travel the required distance.
Having acquired the knack of heading
the ball a short distance, an effort
should be made to increase the distance
until it can be done with accuracy for
distance of twelve or fifteen feet.
Heading practice should not, in the
early stnges, continue for more than
half hour, AS a headache is apt to re-
suit if continued for a longer period.
In side heading the part OF the side
of the head to be brought in contact is
on line with the front part of the
head and not beyond a line extending
vertically from the front of the ears.
Lateral heading is used more for the
purpose of DETECTING the course of the
ball, while frontal heading IS used not
only for DETECTION. but for propulsion
i'll given direction.
If the beginner will bear in mind how
his hand yields temporarily in receiving
baseball he will get the idea of how
his head must Weld when receiving the
impact of the leather ball.
One thing which must always be
borne in mind by the header is, that
when standing back of an opponent to
head ball intended for him he is not
allowed to put his hands on the oppo-
nent for the purpose of jumping UP to
receive the ball. Another thing which
must be borne in mind is that n man
jumping off the ground to head ball
cannot be charged while his feet are
clear of the ground, and that if an eff
fort Is to be made to stop an opponent
putting himself in position to head the
ball the player is limited in his efforts
to bustling the opponent.
Tomorrow Mr.. Stewart will deal with the
question Of Ofside. point of considers le
interest to all players, particularly those
who cannot understand why they should

TWO NEW EVENTS
IN COLLEGE TRACK
Coach Robertson, of Penn, Ex-
poets to See the Discus and
JaveIin Throws Added

The discus and javelin throws may
be added to intercollegiate track and
field competition this year, according to
Coach Lawson Robertson, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania track team
''At the meeting in New York this
coming Sunday it is expected that rule
to permit these two branches of field
events to be added to intercollegiate
competition will be introduced" said
Coach Robertson this morning. "The
meeting, the annual one of the Ma.
tional Collegiate Association which en-
braces all members of the intercollegiate
association, will probably take up
other important matters, but it Is the
new rule that concerns us the most. In
1917 Penn asked the advisory COM
mittee to eliminate the hammer throw
and to place in its stead the discus
and javeln throws. At that time the
resolution was tabled.
Every college association in the
United States including the Western
Conference and the Pacific Coast Asso-
citation has the two events listed in
their meets and we are anxious to con-
form with them in everything. 1t is
used all over the country, as I have
said, and there is really no reason why
IL SnOuldn DC useu py tne edstern COL
leges.
THE two events are contested for in
the Olympica and have been for many
years. Such an international event
should certainly not be left off the lists
Of the intercollegiate association. While
the resolution may be tabled hope that
the committee will give it favorable
consideration. I am told that several
other colleges favor it and il this is
true, we shall in all probability see
these two events on the program at
Cambridge next May.'
Unless the weather gets much colder
Coach Joe Wright will take two crews
out for an hours spin on the Schuyl-
kill SATURDAY. afternoon from the South
street slip. The coach made this definite
announcement last night. Roth will be
composed of varsity candidates with
the first eight consisting Of the follow
ing: Mitchell or Copeland, stroke

Vic Frank, who played center anC
guard on the football team, last yea

back work in order to graduate in jun

WHEN a champion steps forth to give
" battle It is just as we'll to put the
Vital Statistic on him, in order to be
properly adjacent to all the Why's and
Wherefores Of the case.
On Friday night of this week to waste
no further words, Benny Leonard will

title, devastated France and $40 900,
portant detail. As all signs point to
quite an evening in social and punch
swapping circles, II Is not at all unlikely
that a closer consideration Of Leonard 8
status will be well in order.
The Vital Statistic
TT SEEMS that Mr.. Leonard, being
L born April z, 1895, and knocking out
his first cove, or bloke, early in 1912,
was something of a fistic nectarine
when he was only sixteen years old.
His first victim was Mickey Finnigan,
whom he lowered to the resin within
three rounds.
That first year he knocked out no less
than eleven opponents, showing
punching precociousness that was prac-
tically pure stuff.
A winning starter at sixteen and a
ht tWtutg -Out!
SO while Leonard today Is still a
trife short of twenty five, he is ring
veteran of nearly nine years expert
ence, with a list of battles back of him
that few fighters know out beyond
thirty. All of which burns up just SO
much Of the Vital Flame, although in
Leonard's case the fame is still blazing
brightly.
No Defeats
THROUGHOUT Leonard's nine year
L career we can find the record of no
defeats.
There are long lists of Leonard knock
out and no decision fights. but nothing
else.
In the no decision whirl the record OF
the passing years brings up the name
of johnny Dundee. We started in to
count the number of times and the
number Of rounds Leonard and Dundee
had whiled away many smoke filled
evening. but soon grew discouraged.
They bounced together for the first
time back in 1915 and have been at
il steadily ever since.

SOCCER TEAM SHOULD
HAVE GOOD HEADERS
Ability to Propel Ball With Skull Useful to Euery Player
on Eleren-Pmticulrly Valuable Asset for Full
back-Points for Beginners
BY DOUGLAS STEWART
Coach of the University OF PennsyIvar

tOaCh OF the nNcrsltS OF Pennsylvania
TNHE act of heading the ball is an
l. extremely useful accomplishment for
every man on soccer team. The goal
keeper can sometimes use it, but he had
better not unless he is u wonder at it,
and if he is a wonder at that he is
probably sufficient of wonder to play
in some other part of the field.
The fullbacks have much and fire.
Quent use for it. almost as much as for
their feet. The halfbacks have very
much use for it, together with all the fine
touches of DETECTION and propulsion in
their feeding tactics. The forwards
have quite as much use for it as >the
halves. Its advantage in advancing the
ball is marked.
CuriOusly enough, the best developed
headers ] know are the teams from St
Louis and therCabouts. Good heading
in the forward line has all the advan
tagcs of short passing. with the addi-
tiOnal advantage that the opposing
halves and backs are not so liable to
connect with the ball. 1t is useful to
the shooting forwards in intercepting
high passes and converting them into
shots. 1t is useful to the wing forwards
in receiving high passes which would
otherwise go into touch. and instead OF
allowing the pass to be wasted 1t Is
| collected and either swung in to an
uncovered mate or to n vacant spot
where no opponent can get it before the
player does.
4 center forward can make almost
as much use of the heading pass as the
center half can in feeding and passing
Particularly can the center forward use
| it in his efforts to beat the center half,
who is doing his utmost to stop him
or an equivalent kick. This tusslc al
ways happens when two good teams are
playing.
Where Head Work Wins
The one who can use his head best is
the one who usually wins, particularly
in aerial work.
4 fullback who can head well and car
kick. tackle and block quite aS well i
hard to beat. and only very SkiIlful for
wards can penetrate such defense. II
the halfback line it comes III handy il
interccpting a pass sent just over th
heads Of his opponents by a careful
player, and has the advantage that i
will cause an opponent to play the bal
high in the air just when he docsn'
want to.
1t is just as bad to head high as it il
to kick high, particularly on n wind!

side, and not infrcQucntly of real bcnc
