MILLER ELECTED
PENN GRID PILOT
Lebanon Star to Captain
Quaker Football Squad Dur
ing 1922 Season
SUCCEEDS REX WRAY

The Penn football players today paid
tribute TO the best player that fought
on the 1921 eleven when Jonathan ~
"Pos" Miller was elected TO captain the
gridiron squad next fall. He succeeds
Rex Wray.
The selection Of the 1922 leader was
made at q meeting of the letter men
early this afternoon. The choice was
unanimous. At the same time the SQUAD
was snapped by the camera man for the
official records of the University.
Miller unquestionably was the best
player on the squad during the season
closed on Thanksgiving Day. he ranks
with the best tacklers in the history oil
the gridiron sport at Penn. lie also
is good offensiyely.
Lights Protege
It is a coincidence that Miller comes
from Lebanon. Pa, the home Of Dr.
Hobey Light, who is rated as the best
defensive player turned out at Franklin
Field in the last decade. The new Penn
captain IA, in fact, n protege Of Dr..
Light. 1t was through DR.. Light that
Miller came to the University and 1t
was his personal tutoring that made
The tackling of the 1922 leader stand out
so prominently.
Ine election or MllleF IuuSL YET US
ratified by the University Council be-
fore it becomes official, but this Is n
mere formality. The ratification will
probably take place at the session OF the
Council called for Friday.
Miller is twenty three years old, five
feet seven inches tall and weighs los
pounds. He is q Junior in the Dental
School and is popular on the campus
as we'll as on the gridirOn. He is a
member of the Phi Beta Kappa, an
honorary society Of the Junior class,
and of the Delta Epsilon Fraternity.
Tmee- Sport Athlete
The athletic prowess of the captain
elect Is not confined to the football field
He now is playing on the Varsity bas-
ketball team and will hold down II guard
position against Ursinus tonight. III
his freshman year, he starred IN foot
ball, baseball and basketball.
In his first year on the Varsity, Mil
Ter called the plays, but later was sup
planted by Rex Wray.. AS Wray grad =
yates in June, Pos in all probability
will be the field general.
Miller will have virtually a veteran
squad to lead next season, provided the
athletes survive the scholastic To- Is. OF
the twenty-four letter men who gathered
for the. picture today, only four will b.

A low punch delivered by the former

Is toward evening, when all who are
playing have left the first few holes Of
the course free. 1t is the only way by
which one can get real practice, for in
playing around, provided you play the
course in about par, your shots are
divided to such an extent that you get
no real opportunity for practice in any
one shot.
The Average.
For instance, in playing round Of
seventy five your shots average about
as follows: Fifteen drives from the
tee, one brass shot, six mid-iron, ten
mashie, two driving iron, four mashie
iron, one niblick and thirty six puts.
Suppose, for instance, that on your
first tee shot you do something radi-
cally wrong; perhaps 1t ie a slice or
top. Before you get to the next tee
you will have played three or four other
shots, shall have watched your oppo-
nent's shots and INDUCED in q friendly
conversation about matters extremely
foreign to golf, 30 that by the time you
are again ready to drive you have for
gotten just what you did to cause the
slice.
If, hotoerer, pou tcere prdct;cin1
that one particular thing you
popld haze Immediately driven
again from the same tee, tcith your
stance, s,oin0, or phdtever you
think caused the slice, altered so
as to avoid il Oh the merit drire.
TF A golfer depends simply on his
l. friendly matches to give him the
practice necessary to show Improvement
in his game, believe he is destined tc
disappointment; and / wish TO impress
upon golfers who play the game not for
competitive honors, but for the enjoy
ment they find in being on the links
engaged in matches with their friends,
that they will find added enjoyment in
improving their games, and this can only
be done by foregoing the pleasure of
companionship in golf all hour or two al
least each week and spending it in
much needed practice in every feature
of the game.

GlRLS IN many OF the high schools in

The Effect of Prohibition.

wishing 10 make a study of the eff
iects of prohibition upon a typical
american city the Survey selected the
city OF Grand Rapids, Mich, made the
study in question and has now an
nounced lis findings. Some Of the
most no able of them are these:
Wages have increased since the sale
OF liquor stopped by approximately 100
Per cent.
A majority of households in Grand
RapidS are experiencing new and
higher level of prosperity.
Unemployment has practically ceas-
cd.
Families spend more time together,
Cnlldren are better cared for. "The
whole Town is better dreSsed.r'
Monday "absenteeism" at the fac
tories has ceased. "The change has,
however, also made restlessness, es
peciaIly among the younger workers,

effort and swelled the labor turnover.

vacations are taken and longer vaca-

theatres have full houses.
There has been marked increase in

number of arrests was cut down from

Bond issues for additional municipal
equipment have been approved by large
maiOrities
Nearly all classes of the Grand
Rapids people have become converted
to prohibition. and are in favor OF a
strict enforcement of the law. "Wit
nesses almost invariably said that the
two most noticeable effects of prohibi-
ton we're the change it had brought
in family life and the fact that the
younger generation was growing I'D

The moral tone of the community
is higher than it ever was before.
while family discipline has some

increased earning capacity of girls
has made for relationship on more
