BY SOL METZGER.

The fan and the public in general
believe that special diets and all that
sort OF thing enters into the train
ing OF a foot ball team. They think
the winning coach has a wrinkle or
two up his sleeve in the way of spe-
cial foods that account for the fine
physical condition of his men. And
they hear so much about strict
training rules that they are pretty
firm in this belief Of theirs.
As a matter OF fact foot ball
training is not very much like the
training the public thinks it is. Win
ming college elevens have even eaten
pie during the week OF big game
and with no disastrous results inso-
far as results were concerned.
Normally the Aim.
And the best of teams drink the
dreaded caffcin nearly every morn
ing for breakfast, just like the rest
OF us. Training today is not what
it used to be, by long shot. And
the proof OF the modern system is
to be found in the results.
The good old days OF the strictest
sort Of diet and all that sort of stuff
have pretty we'll gone into the dis
card. You can't find an argument
today condemning ice cream as a
dessert for star fullback. In fact,
the whole tendency in diet is to-
wards normalcy. II has been found
that the kind of grub mother used
to make for her darling boy is just
about what said darling needs to
keep him fit and fighting.
Gorged in Training.
One year we had one of the best
guards in the country go all to
pieces. His middle torso was about
as disrupted piece of humanity as
a doctor ever faced. Sick? Why
that athlete almost died from pains
under his belt within a month after
practice began. Yet he had eaten
nothing except the choicest of train
ing table menus. alt took two spe-
cialists to discover the cause for his
gastronomic breakdown. 1t was
just a simple case--overeating. Now,
nothing disrupts the stomach like
overlooking it. The ordinary citi-,
zen gets away with this stunt pretty
we'll. But not your strenuous young
athlete. He simply cracks at the
bulge. Human beings were not
made to run, tumble and tackle with
the hull OF their storage room over
flowing with any kind OF food, good
or bad. 1t just can't be done.
Overeating Fatal.
Your expert on food values will
lay out program OF menus guar
anteed to put pep into lunger. But
il hale and hearty boy comes out
for a varsity team, even backed with
IS years OF simple life on the old

In the Duck Blind.

When the big flights OF ducks
come piling in from the north. very
duck hunter has just one ambition
i'll mind--to get into snug blind
and unlimber the old cannon. This
type of water fowl shooting is with
out doubt great sport and requires
the most in bird shooter, as il
takes patience, keen eyes and skill
in the use of the shotgun to get
ducks.
In many parts OF the United States
shooting from blind for open water
ducks is considered the cream Of wa
ter-fowI hunting. However, many OF
us would just as soon bag the NAL
lard, the king OF marsh ducks, as
any bird that flies.
Or the open water ducks, the high
ly praised canvasback is usually
placed at the head OF the list. This
duck favors the open and deep wa
ter and feeds by diving. Great bird.
the canvasback, and TO shoot him is
mighty sporty proposition. After
you get him you have something,
too.
Alongside OF the canvasback can
be placed the redhead, who is not to
be sneezed at when you are talking
about good looking and good eating
ducks. The redhead is not quite as
big as the canvasback. but he is con-
sidered by many hunters the equal
of the larger species for eating. These
two birds are the topnotchers among
open water or sea ducks, and most
any of US would be perfectly satis-
fed to put in few days shooting
them alone
The bluebill is another open water
duck that furnishes hundreds Of
hunters some sport each fall. There
are two things about the bluehill
that are much in his favor. The
birds are plentiful and travel in big
flocks. We have seen them come
into lake in regular cloud. The
bluebill decoys well, pitches into the
decoys without any circling, and is
good eating. A fellow could hardly
ask for more.
Among the marsh ducks the NAL
lard and the pintail are usually
ranked as favorites. Some fellows
can't see anything but mallard
shooting, and you can't blame 'em,
The willy "greenhead" is wonder
full bird and furnishes splendid sport.
The fellow that comes in with a
full bag of mallards doesn't have to

Coach Yost's team set out to avenge
last years foot ball defeat by the
Buckeyes.
The U part Of the stadium is built
of wood, and has been made to join
the concrete stand on the south side
of the field, with the wooden struc-
ture on the north side. This new
section, which is built over the run
ming track, is constructed in such
way that it may be moved over to
the base ball field in the spring as
an auxiliary stand to the regular
base ball stands.
The entire stands have been paint
ed gray, and the new structure is
one OF the most imposing in <the
middle-west. Temporary stands can
be placed near the club house at the
east end OF the field. transforming
the stadium into bowl
Twelve exits have been cut in the
stands, which make it easy to empty
the oval in short length of time,
no matter what the size Of the crowd.
The Ferry field club house is sit
uated on the east end of the field.

Yale Oarsmen Under
Three English Coaches

The greatest year in Yale rowing
is forecast at New Haven. It is
pointed out that no American col
lege has ever before had the advan-
tage of three professional English
coaches working as unit. The great
increase in the number Of men who
have gone into rowing since the. war
has made three coaches necessary.
The analysis emphasizes that
Head Coach Corderey has modified
the English stroke by lengthening
the slide, increasing the leg work,
and cutting down the body swing.
The broader bladed American oar
will be used and the English shells
less and less. The men will sit over
the keelson and not on alternate
sides.

Not PLAY Heayies OH Grid

Legislation to stop light men be-
ing pitted against heavy ones on the
gridiron is favored by John w.
Heisman, head coach of the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania foot ball squad.
In an address recently Heisman
said the public would not stand for
a man of l25 pounds meeting one
weighing 200 pounds in the boxing
ring, and the fact that the same rule
did not apply TO foot ball was one
of the defects of the game.

For Flag Winners

Any major league club wishing to
win a pennant next season should
get in touch with Harry Sallee.
Somehow or other when Slim Sal
gets on a club it wins. He was
with the Giants in 1918, the Reds
in 1919 and with the Giants again
this year. He had to retire couple
of times in order to make it, but
somehow managed.
During the off season he will look
them over and make his pick, then

WILL GRANT HEARINGS.
House Committee Consideration o
Ball Act Promised.

Representative Focht, chairman of
the House District committee said
today that his committee would give
consideration to the bill proposing to
extend the rent act seven months. if
it is passed by the Senate and sent
to the House.
'T have no doubt that the House
District committee will grant hear
ings on the rent bill and give it con-
sideration at the earliest opportun-
ity" said Mr.. Focht
While declaring that the rent act
is drastic legislation, Mr.. Focht in
timated that if the hearings develop
the fact that an emergency still ex-
lists in the housing situation in the
District favorable action might be
expected on the bill.
Mr.. Focht said that he had already
received a request from some of the
real estate men of Washington for
hearings on the bill if it is taken up
by his committee. So far the propo-
nents of the measure have not come
forward with requests for hearing.
The Woods street railroad merger
bill has the right of way in the Dis
trict committee, Mr.. Focht said, but as
soon as that has been acted upon other
legislation for the District will be
given consideration. If the Senate
passes the rent bill on Tuesday or any
day next week, 1T is Mr.. Focht's opin-
ion that there will be ample time to
deal with it in the House before Oc-
'tober %, when the present law expires,
even though Congress takes the pro-
posed thirty-day recess.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, August 13.-"Don't
send your children TO the country if
you want them to be healthy-cities
now produce the most virile men,"
Thus DIR. John S. Fulton, secretary
of the state board of health, explodes
the old-fashioned theory that greater
chance for health prevails among the
green fields and the wooded hills of
rural districts than On the asphalt
pavements and dusty Fairgrounds of
the big city.
1T is not that the strenuous and
sometimes endless tasks of life on the
farm are not just as healthfu1 as
they ever were, but. says DR.. Fulton,
"Cities afford more sanitary living
conditions than the country" and he
pointed out that there were many
reasons why city boys have a better
chance for health than the country
boy.
''In the first place. the living condi-
tions are more sanitary, medical at
tention is more prompt and there are
greater medical facilities. Statistics
show that there is greater proper
ton of healthy boys among city
groups than the country ones"
The theory that country life was
synonymous with health and strength
is still held by many of the progress
sive and advanced thinkers" the doc
tor continued. THE adult death rate
in the country exceeds the city's rec
ords, and the number of cases of con-
tagious disease are always in the as
tendency in rural communities.

PARIS. August 13.-Members of the
American Legion, who arrived here
yesterday, left Paris at 7:i5 O'Clock
this morning for Blois, where they
were to participate in the unveiling of
the statue of Joan of Are, which was
presented to that city by the Joan of
Arc committee of the city of New
York The ceremony. which was to
take place at o'clock this afternoon,
was to follow a reception to the Amer
leans by the mayor and municipal
authorities at the city hall.
Paris welcomed the legion members
with much the same spirit as that
with which they received the PoiluS
when they returned from the great
war. There was a genuine ring OF
enthusiasm to the shouts of greeting
from thousands of persons who gath
cred outside the station where the
Americans arrived from Cherbourg.
1t was a repetition of the reception
given them when they landed earlier
in the day from the steamship George
Washington at Cherbourg.
10000 Look On.
More than 10000 persons later sur
ronuded the Arc de Triomphe to Watch
the American veterans pay tribute to
their unknown cOmrade.
Many of the Americans climbed to
the top of the auto buses conveying
them from the station, eXuberantly
waving their hats and shouting to the
ParisianS, who were quick to acknowl-
edge the greeting. One group passing
the Elysee Palace recognized Premier
BRAND and gave him three cheers.
while the premier bowed and smiled.
After reception at the Interallied
Club. where Ambassador Herrick. j. j.
Jusserand. the French ambassador to
the United States, and many prominent
officials welcomed them, the legionaires
went to the Arc de Triomphe. Marshal
Foch, Mr.. Herrick, NJ. Jusserand and
many regiments with which the Ameri-
cans had fought in the war and COM
mittees of French veterans were pres
ent at the ceremonies here.

as soldier of France, but as our SOL
tlier. Let me bring you a spirit that is
American. May the spirit of America
always cover your soul as the American
flag now covers your grave
When the ceremonies were ended the
Americans gave three cheers for Marshal
Foch. He was much affected, and re-
marked that with soldiers such as
America had sent to France it was i'm
possible to lose the war.

CITIES HAVE MOST VIRILE MEN.
: SAYS DOCTOR, SCOUTING HILLS

There are more doctors in pro-
portion to population in the city than
in a farm community. There are
100000 doctors in the United States.
and over half are city physicians.
The farms are usually extensive. and
the doctor must lose much time in
getting about.
''In the city there is doctor con-
venient in almost every neighbor-
hood, and the sick child may receive
attention without delay. The doctors
proximity enables him to keep the
child under close observation. The
country doctor may be just as
efficient and scientific; his education
is. no doubt. practically the same.
but he lacks the facilities of the city
practitioner"
DR.. Fulton explained that the city
boy has available greater hospital
facilities. Children receive medical
attention even in the public schools.
Their mouths are clean, due to the
attention given their teeth by school
dentists in teaching oral hygiene.
It must be realized that there is no
more important item of good health
like very much to have a hospital in
every rural community" he remarked
seriously. 'The need for such
facilities is great"
DIR. Fulton believes that much of
the movement from the country to
the city can be attributed to mothers
who realize that their children will
be healthier in an urban community.
