In the first place, those backing
athletics got together and mapped
out their policy. AS a beginning they
oecided TO accept an invitation to join
the Southern intercollegiate Confer
ence and thereby put themselves un-
der tr, the jurisdiction OF such strict eli
gibillty rules that they would MAIN
tain as high standards for the con-
duct of their athletics as anybody
and consequently be on good terms
with everybody.
Goes Further in Debt.
Then, strange TO say. they decided
to spend more money and go even
further in debt. They did so in the
erection of new stands. thus provid-
ing greater seating space and great
er source Of revenue from foot ball
games. The playing field was i'm
proved. SO that teams would not hes
itate TO play at Columbia because Of
the fintlike nature of the ground.
But in order to draw crowds South
Carolina had to have foot ball team
and it had to develop an eleven on
a sound basis, because the rules under
which it played allowed for no other
way. 1t started out and hired q good
coach, at far greater salary than 1t
had ever paid before, and then started
TO give that coach material by get
ting out every available student who
had any qualification that made il
appear he might at some time make
a good player. And then campaign
was initiated in the high and prep
schools TO advertise the university.
This campaign brought to South
Carolina more and better athletes of
the right type, and~last year South
Carolina had good foot ball team
and next fall expects to have better
one. 1t has a good base ball team,
a basket ball Quint which did re-
mark bly, we'll and a track team. for
the first time SO good that it barely
was beaten in a dual meet by one Of
its greatest rivals by three points.
And then a period of strict econ
omy was inaugurated. Managers
and members Of teams were given
TO understand that they could not
have everything they desired and
that only such things as were real

WILLARD IN GOOD TRIM,
FIGHT EXPERT ASSERTS
By FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK, April LIT was in
teresting news which came today from
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, to the effect that
Jess Willard really looks good.
Ed Cochrane. who is a fight expert of
no mean ability and a referee Of parts,
is quoted as saying he looked the big
boy over, saw him go through his PAGES
rand is satisfied that Willard shows
more pep and fighting instinct today
than he has in ten years"
Those are strong words. but coming
from Cochrane must be taken their
face value. 1t remains to be seen, how
ever. whether the last remaining six or
eight weeks of the intensive grueling
training that q fighter must drill into
in preparation for a big fight will leave
Jess in the same shape he appears to
, be in today. Give the former champion
it is a gift-and merely for the sake of
argument call him less than forty years
old. Even so it is q question whether
the Willard tissues can stand up against
the tissues of youthful Floyd Johnson,
who incidentally isn't such pygmy
after all compared with Jess.
The most significant statement OF the
experts who recently have seen VIII
lard is that his fighting spirit seems
better than ne has ever showed. That
was the big fellows greatest weakness
lack of the vicious fighting instinct,
which must be a part of any man who
fights Dempsey.
If IL is really true that Jess has his
Irish up, the May II battle may be all
that Richards press agents say il will
be.

1t takes some golfers "A long
time to learn the lesson OF the
Opened-up stance for short iron
shots. They can see no reason why
the position OF the feet should be
changed for n short chip shot with
mashie or niblick-and they keep
shooting approaches from one side
of the green TO the other.
The stance Is opened because the
change in the position OF the feet
gives an automatic regulation of
