EVANSTON, ILL.,, November "a
Iowa came off victorious in the annual
home coming foot ball game with North

to II. The Purple and White. defeated
in every game, furnished the surprise
Of their season by uncovering an aerial
attack in the final period that almost
spelled disaster for the Hawkeyes-
At the end of, the first half the score
was to 0, Hancock of Iowa having
scored field goal in the first period.
Capt. McIlwaine of Northwestern
opened up in the third period and by a
series of line. plunges and end runs
opened the way for Destephanno to
score a touchdown. Davis kicked goal
In the next period Graham went over
for an Iowa touchdown, to be followed
closely by Fry for another. Hancock
kicked goal on both occasions
McIlwaine then feaved two forward
passes. one for SO and the other for 80
yards, placing the ball on Iowa's 5-yard
line. from which he plunged through for
touchdown. Seidell kicked goal.
Northwestern began another march
down the field and only the fierce tack
ling of Parkin, Fry and Graham pre-
vented It from scoring again.

The name of Wright goes down
significantly i'll the history of
aeronautics. More significantly,
i'll another family OF Wrights, 1t
goes down and glorihes the an
nails of early American sport.
OF English extraction, the Wright
family began in this country with
a famous cricketer, his two sons
Harry and George-bringing to
base ball that spirit of team play
known to cricket. Georges son,
Beale c. Wright, was champion
tennis player.
1t was through the methods
adopted by Harry Wright. when
he organized the Cincinnati Red
Stockings in lS6S-70, that the
crude game of base ball began
to be revolutionized. He brought
to it more scientific meaning.
because he insisted on the more
articulate meaning of every posi-
tion in the game-inheld and out
field. 1t was great temptation
for the unprofessional player in
early days to play for the benefit
of his best girl looking on, and
not for the ultimate victory of
the club. 1t would have hurt a
good batsman then to sacrifice a
hit for the good of run.
In other words, before Harry
Wright, each player played for
himself. Wright said to his men;
Don't play for hits; play for
scores" And this slogan was the
reason for his invention-though
he didn't know it at the, time-of
the sacrifice hit.
1t was Harry Wright, who, in
1867, faced boldly the rule that
players were to receive mo pay"
He went to Cincinnati with the
idea of organizing an all-profes-
sional nine. He reached out not
only for the best local talent, but

This mistaken policy, this sacrific-
ing the chance of developing ones

match is answerable for the loss of
error that "a promising player can
make. an error that will, If persisted

has been demonstrated that the one
who gets to the very top and stays
there is the one who has no dis
cernible weakness in his game.
Must Perfect His Game.
"a chain is as strong as its weak
est link" might well have been
written about tennis. Every great
player recognizes this and uses every
possible chance to correct all faults
in his technique. r. Tilden, Johnston,
Brookes, Patterson, Anderson, all
have won their places, not alone
through natural aptitude for the
game, but because they have all
labored constantly and patiently to
bring their games to perfection with
no vulnerable points. For them every
match in every tournament is an op-
portunity for practice; every match
lost a valued lesson that will be
remembered
No great player ever has suddenly
achieved prominence in tennis. Every
champion knows that there Is no
royal road" tothe first ranks, and
knows that If he would keep his
place or gain a higher one it must
be by hard work.
1t is possible for every player to
improve his game. The first essen
tial is a thorough and intelligent
understanding Of what constitutes
correct form, and a realization of its
importance.
Should Study and Practice.
Tilden's books should be carefully
studied, especially those chapters on
grips, footwork and body position.
Then a player should analyze his own
game, comparing his grips, etc, with
those given by Tilden. He should
get some good player or profess
sional to point out to him his faults.
Once he understands where and how
he is weak he should concentrate
on those strokes, visualizing him
self as taking them in the correct
manner. AS soon as the weather per-
mits he should at once begin prac-
ticing on these weak strokes. play
