CLASSIC IS ANCIENT

Another American foot ball classic
reocrurs today when I.ehigh and La
| fayette meet at South Bethlehem
Pa. for their fortieth consecutive
game. Although these picturesque
clashes do not date quite so far back
| as do the Princeton-Yale and Prince
tom Harvard engagements, they con-
Stitute one of the oldest of American
college series and, furthermore. one
that has not been interrupted for a
single year
For alumni of both of the rival in
StitutionS. of whom there are several
| hundred in Washington. and for resi-
dents of that section of the country
which contains the two universities,
the struggle offers a great annual at
I traction, especially in view of the
nearly equal records of the rivals
during past decades.
Lehtgh and Lafayette first played
one another in 1884 and from then on
until 1890 the teams met not only
! once every year, but twice year. OF
the first fourteen games each side
won five, while four We're tied affairs
Beginning with 1891, they have played
one game a year. including even the
war period.
Along in the COS Lehigh won prac-
tica!ly every game, although Lafay-
cites record in the present century is
the more impressive. Among Wash
ingtonianS who have participated in
this famous series are Ralph Barnard
who played for Lehigh in 1887 and
| 1883: his brother Clarence. who played
in the middle 90s; Warriner, Senior,
Ordway and Coates, while pat" Wells
played for the Red and White years ago.
Among names of other famous play
ers who years ago wore the moleSkins
for the two Pennsylvania institutions
are Okeson, McClung. SaltZman,
the two Gasses. BALLET, later a
Princeton star. and Mccarthy for Le-
high, and Barclay. Bray. Walbridge.
Rutter. Rinehart. Weidenmeyer, Bach
man, Chalmers. Trout and Spiegel for
! Lafayette. Last year Lafayette, an
overwhelming favorite, won by the
margin of a single field goal. The
same college again is a strong favor

How Foot Ball Is PLAYED
by SOL METZGER-

THERE are many reasons, some

Perhaps the best way to explain
this disadvantage is to put it this
way: Are you as much at home in
your best friends house as you are
in your own home? Well, foot
on a strange field
Strangeness is a hard thing for
people to overcome. A visiting foot
ball team has to overcome strange
ness. Another handicap for the visit
ing team is that it's players do not
rest as well in Pullman berths or
hotel beds as they do in the beds to
which they are accustomed. Change
of food and water also upsets trained
athletes. even more quickly than it
upsets the average person.
Not having the backing of the
home crowd is also upsetting to foot
ball players. especially the newer
players. When a team is 10 be COM

Other points against the visiting
team are the matters of unaccustomed
wind currents over another field and
of the condition of turf. A team is
often fast at home because it has
good solid footing. but is slow on a
foreign field because the turf is worn
off and the soil does not give a good
footing. Nearly all players have two
sets of shoes, one pair with cleats of
average length for use on dry turf,
another set with a long mud cleat
attached at the ball of the foot to
insure a sure footing on wet turf or
on ground that is soft and has no
turf.
A team at home always has slight
advantage One reason is its players
are not under the mental strain of
the visiting team, which has nothing
to distract it from the coming game.

Unless you sre ~zGry careful, the
right hand Will project itself too
much into the back swing OF the
golf club. The left hand must DOM
inate the bnck swing. The right
hand elevates the club to the
proper height, but 1T must not be
permitted to pull back on the
shaft.
Pulling the shaft back with the
right hand as the club goes up is
n disease of golf that a great ma
iOrity of pupils have. This comes
from the instructive inclination to
hit "a thing with the right hand.
The novice golfer goes about hit
ting n golf ball ns he would under
take to strike with his right fist
in his own self-defense.
The hest way to offset the right
hand pull is to grip somewhat
tighter with the left hand. If you
will do this, then put the club
head in front of your right toe and
push the club up few times,
wholly with the left arm, you will
get the feel of 1T. Gripping tighter
with the left hand, however, leads
10 another complication which the
golf student must watch out for.
