We have not yet gone far enough
over a term of years To determine
whether the policy of assigning GER
tain seats at great athletic contests
in return for subscriptions to ath-
letic funds will work out sattsfac-
torily. Yale used this method in
raiSinG the funds with which TO build
the Yale bowl and already there are
some rumblings of criticism as to the
monopoly Of the best seats by those
who put up the money.
Good Seats Gone for Years.
The West Side Tennis Club at
Forest Hills in building the new
tennis stadium used plan which
allotted seats for a period OF ten
Years to those who subscribed.
These Subscription rights already
have pre-cmpted 1900 of the best
seats. The limitation TO ten years.
however. is 4 saving clause. and
probablv Yale could have secured
her funds with Il tenyear limita-
ton as readily as by yielding up
rights To seats for the lifetime of
the subscriber.

There have been more players un-
der thirty winning championships in
the last decade than above that age;
and thirty is not old for an athlete.
.Iohnnir McDermott. the first home
bred to win the big title. started the
ball rolling with Il victory in this
event back in 1911. when he was not
more than twenty-two, and he repeat
Cd the next year at tWenty-three.
Then came Francis Ouimet, who took
possession of the open championship
at twenty | followed Ouimet with
victory at Chicago when 1 was
twenty-one. jerry Travers was next,
when he had reached twenty-seven,
and Chick Evans followed Travers
at the age of twenty-StX. Then came
my turn to repeat and ] took the
title again when 1 was twentyseven.
Ted Ray Ended streak.
This appeared to be the end for
a while of championships going to
, the younger set of players. Ted Ray
came over from England and took
our title at the age of thirty-eight in
1920. and in 1921 Long Jim Barnes
got into his stride and won when he
was thirty-fOur. This period was
Short-lived. however, and the vet
Grams apparently We're down and out,
as Gene Sarazen annexed the crown
at the age of tWenty-one. and then
this year along comes Bobby Jones,
another twenty year-old cham
pion. What are we to expect next
year? VIII Jones or Sarazen win
again. or will another youngster come
10 the front?
Personally, ] believe that ii golfer
should 80 on winning championships
or be at his best until he is thirty
five or past. | am positive that in
my own case | have not yet reached
my best form. 1t would be difficult
for any one to convince me that ] am

distance that | used to drive, but my
system of scoring is vastly improved.
My drives are straighter and better
placed and my second shots are closer
to the pin.
The average golfer loses his game
because he loses his enthusiasm for
tournament play. When one begins

for this is to play the game as if it
We're worth while. Ii is easy TO get
into the habit 'of sighting shots. No
match should ever be made whereby
the player has an easy time coming
out victorious. One should get into
the habit of hard work, and then
when it is necessary to work hard it
comes easy.
Young men succeed at golf now
more than they did twenty years ago
because they take up the game when
they are youths and acquire the art
/. of the true swing. Most youngsters
lnherit the game now, as they can
point to golf played by their fathers
or their grandfathers. This was not
the case twenty years ago.
The one important thing in driving
a long ball is the suppleness of the
muscles. Older men fail to relax, and
when one begins to stiffen up the
game begins to suffer. If the older
asm of youth, man of sixty by vir-
tue of his great experience. would be
a better golfer than any boy of
tWenty-One.

ARTICLE XII.

A FTER the dog paddle, one
- OF the easiest and best
strokes for the beginner to learn
is the breast stroke. Most peo-
pie want to be told that the
crawl stroke is the best to learn
first, because they have been told
the greatest speed swimmers use
the crawl and the natural incli-
nation is to initiate the out
standing stars.
However. do not consider the
crawl best for a person just
learning TO swim. The breast
stroke \ i, much better because
the 'fr5g kick" is useful for life
saving purposes. One of the
fundamental uses OF swimming
IS to be able to save yourself
and others. Speed swimming
is for those who have mastered
the simpler strokes.
There is another good reason
for beginning with the breast
stroke if you wish to become a
thoroughly equipped swimmer.
That reason is that once you
learn a fast stroke you never
learn slower one, and the
slower strokes usually are best
for endurance. II you begin with
a slow stroke you can progress
from one to the other until you
attain the speed strokes.

The height of the tee should be
determined by the style of play of
the individual, the lay. of the land,
and kind of ball to be used, and
the wind. In driving where there
are few, or no, obstacles, a player
should use medium tee. On
a windy day, playing with the wind,
he should use high tee and stand
slightly behind the ball, this ena-
bling him to hit the ball well into
the air where it will receive all the
benefit of the wind. Against the
wind, low tee should be used so
that the trajectory of the ball will
be on straight, low line.

Americans Are Worst hammered Persons i'm World
Says Gertrude Athert0n, Noted Woman NO1eIist
BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT

BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT
NEA Serrice STAFF Writer
" FEW YORK, March 23.-Ameri-
cans have the worst manners
- in the world. They cough in
your face, they chew gum in public,
they push, they jostle, they fight for
the only vacant seat in a street car.
they shove you away from the ticket
office. they nearly knock you down
and never raise their hats.
So says Gertrude Atherton, noted
woman novelist.
Il have travelled all over Europe
and America" she explains, and.
take my word for it, Americans have
the worst manners in the world.
They have arrogance but no pride.
They personify the Declaration of
Independence gone wild.
E'Men come to dinner in their shirt
sleeves and women cut each other in
public. College students ignore the
faculty and young men refuse to
dance with their hostesses. The steel
magnate outrages the feeling of the
office boy and the office boy passes
on the insult.
The man who has spanned a
continent with railroads grasps his
fork down by the prongs and the
young poetess with a volume of free
verse on the press embarrassedly
counters, 'Aw, where d'ya get that
line when some one hands her a

overlooked. which leads IN the merry
race to the divorce court.
"A woman who would look up
with tolerance upon occasional
lapses from morality can be driven
to desperation because her husband

tolerance when he talks to her with
his hat on and blows smoke in her
face?
