TT is interesting to calculate what

third-rate players toward lower
ing their scores without the necessity
Of actually improving their skill
If, for purpose of this discussion,
we classify a Grade A player as one
who can play an average course in

Grade c the same course in 100.
Band c players, on the average,
could improve their games two or
three strokes round by the simple
process of the invariable selection
of the proper club.
Fondness for Club.
A surprisingly large percentage OF
B and c players develop a fondness
for particular club-it's human
weakness, l admit--and are inclined
to play that club because of this con-
fidence in situation clearly calling
for a different club. On the other
hand, a Grade A player would fol-
low the proved principles of golf i'll
the situation. For example, B or c
has fondness for a midiron. The
shot, as B or c recognize. probably
calls for driving iron, but because
of the midiron fondness B or c says

Trick Defensive Teams.
There are times when teams OIL
defense will be crossed This has
happened many times aud the victor
has been given unlimited praise. II
the play. however, had not worked
successfully. the offender would still
be criticized by those who follow the
various branches OF sport.
In baseball. with man on first
and no one out, the natural thing is
10 sacrifice the runner to second. pro-
yiding the game is close. On every
pitch the first and second bascmcn
will come in TO cover the bunt. with
the second baseman moving over TO
cover first base and the shorttop TO
look after the second bag.
Smokes While Training.
II has happened many times that
the batter has crossed the defense by
pasting the ball down either foul line
and OH fair ground. 1t has also hap
pcned that fast offensive players, such
as Ty Cobb, have crossed the defense
by going from first to third on a
bunt. Ty got away with it several
times and compelled the managers OF
opposing teams 10 rcarrange their
defense when Tyrus was OH the
paths. ....
Use OF tobacco has always been ia
booed by every successful coach and
trainer. Sam Langford, the colored
tighter from Boston. is an exception
10 the rule. Sam smokes and chews,
and frequently puffs cigar while he
Is dressing for ring engagement.
Although Langford is approaching
the end of his career, he claims he
has smoked and chewed all his life.
1t was not so many years ago that
Langford was rated as one of the
greatest fighters in the history Of the
game.
{. M. Daniels OF the New York
Athletic club, one Of the greatest
sprint swimmers ever developed in
this country, was habitual smoker
When he came to swim in the Chi
cago Athletic association pool in the
carly COS. Daniels would come
TO the edge Of the pool smok-
ing cigaret. When he was told to
get ready by the starter, he placed
the cigaret on the edge OF the pool.
As soon as. his race was over he
picked up the unfinished smoke and
returned to his dressing room.
Earl Eby, captain Of last years
Pennsylvania track and field team,
did not stop smoking during his conf
petitive career. He ran the half mile
and is considered one OF the best men
in the country today over the dis
tance. Eby expects to run under
Cherry circle colors this summer, but
has informed Director S. H. Darwent
he will not stop smoking.
Cites Football Example.
As a general rule successful ath-
letes are not particular about their
meals. The majority state they eat
what their stomachs call for, regard
less of rules prescribed by trainers
and coaches. This is not so much
true of the college athlete as it is
with the professional man, the boxer
and wrestler particularly.

runner must remember to hold his
form and stride. If you are firing
in the race for home, pick up your
knees and don't let your head go
back. Drive your arms as in sprint
ing and your form and stride will
bring you through to fast tinish.'
Body Actions Important.
Arm and body action are very im-
portant because of the length of the
race, which is run at so fast a pace
that the whole action Of the runner
should be harmonious.
A quarter being such hard races,
it has got to be trained for very care.
fully. Very seldom must you go
through the distance at racing
speed. You must, however, cover
the distance and more, too. In cons
nection with your speed work after
taking starts you should go through
the 220 yards perhaps twice week.
Now and then do fast 800 yards,
which will accustom you to the fast
pace at the start of quarter.
Here is a schedule for training: -
Monday--Three starts, 20, 80 and ~
yards; 800 yards at the gait OF a quarter
mile.
Tuesday-Same amount OF starts; 200
yards at quarter r-nile gait: after q
good rest, an easy 500 yards.
Wednesday--same amount Of starts;
then 500 yards. doing the first half at
fast slip and easing up the last 200
yards.
Thursday--ssme amount of starts; 100 :
yards fast: a good rest and then a quarter
mile at fairly good clip, using long. easy
swing, and Flashing Up fast for the last
SO yards.
Friday-Same as Wednesday.
Saturday-A quarter mile under time;
a race il possible
The above schedule for a weeks

THE QUARTER MILE.

The 440-yard, or quarter mile, race
is popular distance in this country.
No other nation in the world can
turn out such galaxy of star quar-
ter-nilers as seen in our meets here
in America. The reason for this is
because the American boys possess
plenty of natural speed, together
with an amount of strength and de-
termination to obtain good form,
which is a big factor to successful
quarter-milers.
The quarter is really dash event.
A quarter run in 4S seconds averages
IL seconds for every ITO yards, so
you can judge the pace set in fast
races. OF course, very few quarters
are run in 48 seconds, but to classify
all event we want to put it in its
proper class as run by champions.
Therefore, speed is a big quality.
All of the best quarter -milers this
country has had practiced sprinting
Meredith has done even time for the
100 yards, q seconds for the 22O
yards and 472-5 seconds for the
quarter. Maxey Long did II Sec
onds for the l20 yards and % sec
.onds for the 220 yards. If these men
couldn't sprint. they could not stand
the fast pace that is set for the first
800 yards of quarter.
Find Distance Too Long.
Many -milers while in prac-
tice or at the beginning of the sea-
son find that the quarter is too long
for them. To obtain the endurance
needed at the end of the race. take
a good jog for a half mile or clip
off fairly fast run for 500 or 900
yards. Do not overlook your speed
work if you have to resort to the
above training for endurance. Get
your sprinting in the first thing you
do while out for practice.
If you find you have plenty OF ell
durance, devote most of your time to
sprinting. Go all the way from l25
to 200 yards at full speed. Then
later 60 about 300 yards at very
fast quarter pace.
Form is a big quality in the quar-
ter. 1t is almost as important as in
100 or 220-yard dashes. Easy action
is the most needed quality pertaining
to form. The best quarter -milers
have long, easy, swinging stride.
A quarter starts fast and is
sprint for at least so yards, but after
that one should settle down to
long, easy and fast gait. This long,
easy swing will carry you into the
stretch. When the stretch is reached
it is up to you TO come home the best
way possible. At this point the
