constantly improving the park
and it is well worth ones time to
go and see it.

Jug Handled Loans.
This was not the first instance OF
this kind which l have observed.
Loans are quietly arranged, in cases
where a player needs financial as
sistance in getting through college,
and l do not know of a single in
stance in which the creditor has ever
pressed the player for payment after
he has finished school
I believe this practice is increasing.

direct manner, in the old days of
the tramp athletes. The only differ
ence is that the transaction now
wears a fair face.
Naturally. any system which aids
poor boys in getting through college
is to be commended. There can be
no censure-rather there will be
praise-for advancing money to am
bilious lads and then generously
writing off the debt years afterward.
The remaining question is, which is
the more degrading to a boy-a raw,
direct money transaction, by which
he hires out to play foot ball, or an
involved, CLOSED over and idealized
transaction-by which he hires out
to play foot ball?

Should these two contests result in
very close matches. one might be in
c'ined to doubt that climate changes
and long trips tone off players
Should Nurmi break or equal the
mark for the mile in an early con-
test. one could almost say that the
trip and change had had little effect
upon him. But should either of these
games result in such an overwhelm
ing defeat as was demonstrated some
years ago to Ohio State on the 0e-
Casion of its trip to the coast, or
should the Finnish runner be badly
beaten. it would be pretty fair evi-
dence that physical condition was very
much affected in this way.
1t should be borne in mind that
the Notre Dame team will have the
harder job, as the Los Angeles CHI
mate is considerably warmer than
San Francisco. and much more of n
letdown.
Should Nurmi not run within some
seconds of the records and should he
be beaten by any one except pos
sibly Willie Ritola, one could with
equal assurance believe that the trip
and the climatic change was detri-
mental.
So it transpires that interest will
not only be high in the results, but
many keen observers are watching
for an indication of how condition
and performance are affected by
changing climatic conditions.
Caliber of Athletes Known.
All this is no reflection on Pacific
Coast teams or athletes or foreign
runners The Pacific Coast has dem
onstrated its quality in the athletic
line to such an extent as wrestling
the Intercollegiate track and field
championships from the East, and
has sent such star tennis and golf
men and women players on as to fully
convince every one of its eminence in
all lines of sport. But 1t has been
demonstrated fact with the individual
that the change from a warm climate
to one that is colder generally has a
bracing effect, whereas the change
from a cooler climate to a warmer
one is apt to reverse this condition.
And in the case Of a journey of these
two teams we shall have a falr
chance to observe it.
In the case of the Finnish athlete
Nurmi it will also furnish informa-
tion as to whether his tremendous
natural ability as runner Will out
balance the very long trip anu
changed conditions.

know an instance of a sensational
player who was procured by alumni
sf an Eastern State university by
sliding-scale arrangement of pay
mentS based on his attainmentS in
scholarship. At this time the untver-
sity had been assailed for profess
sionalism, and, while the alumni did
rot propose to slacken their activi
lies in getting players, they sought
means of stiffening up the classroom
seaklings.
This boy was no Boris Sidis, and
sfter the alumni had made busi-
hess deal with him they realized they
would have to provide some intel
.ectual prod. They had given him a
srawing account of $1,000. To get
pver the scholarship barrier they
offered the boy increased payments-I
90 not remember the exact figures
based upon his scholarship showing.
He was required to maintain an aver
age OF 20 in five studies as starter.
An average of rs was to bring him a
certain increase, 80 a certain amount
saore and s5 still more.

of the business. Here's the other end
Of it:
A few days ago 1 had an occasion

who has contributed many thousands

DEFEAT WAVERLYS

Foot ball of the old school, in which

effectively by the Apache gridmen,
who triumphed over the Waverly
eleven, 12 to s, yesterday in the de-
Gliding game in this years 150-pound
sandlot foot ball title race.
With Sweeney. Boyd, Gooch and
Mattingly prominent factors in the
Apache battering tactics, Is first
downs were registered against the
Waverly combination that accounted
for five. The Waverly line retreated
time and time again, the Apaches
drawing first blood early in the first
period and getting another tally in
the third quarter.
Waverfy scored it's lone six points
near the end Of the game as a re-
suit of a forward pass, Quigley TO
Swope, which placed the ball on the
Apache 1yard line. S. Colliere
lunged through for a touchdown.
Waverly's open style of play failed
TO make much headway against the
better drilled Apaches.

1t happened that l was in excep-
tionally good form that day. But
what followed thoroughly illustrates
kind of played Nabholtz is.
Going out I did the first nine holes
in 80 strokes, five under par. having
made five brides In the first six holes.
I was four up, but did NabholtZ
break? He did not. I thought he
would be discouraged. but he won
the tenth. Then. after i had taken
the eleventh and twelfth, making me
five UP with six holes still to be
played he won the next four holes
in a row with brides, reducing my
lead to one up, two to go.
That was genuine nerve. For
tunately, I still had some better than
par golf in my system and I won the
seventeenth and eighteenth with
brides. But he had given me a scare
and, incidentally, held my winnings
10 $50 by beating me one up on the
last nine holes.
