Ry BILLY EVANS

In comparing football teams the gridiron expert can only give consid- rration to the known ability of the players,
 Players do not always run true to form. hence the expert opinion is not always necessarily correct. | The breaks of the game, on which the critic has no advance informa- tion, often prove far greater factor in deciding the contest than mere ability.

 Illinois, a great team, beat Michi- gan 50 to IA and Iowa 36 to Q.
 Without doubt Illinois is better eleven than either Michigan or Iowa, yet not as much stronger as the score would indicate.
 In the Michigan game q run of 90 yards on the kickoff by Grange put l the Wolverines out of the running. In the Iowa game a punt that trav- cled so yards-on the fly. taking the ball from under the shadow of the Illinois goal to Iowa's 15-yard line, was the decisive punch.
 Michigan had been instructed to watch Grange, keep him covered. For weeks the Wolverines had been drilled in a system to stop Grange,
 On the very first play of the game Grange ran through the entire Michi tgan team for a touchdown. That lone play decided the issue,
 Michigan never stopped trying and fighting but the ghost of Grange was ever present even when the Illinois star was resting on the sidclines,
 Grange was a mental hazard that Michigan simply couldn't overcome.
 He was constant threat that kept
 the men of Yost upset from start to finish.

Gunnar Lindstrom of Sweden has just broken the world record for throwing the javelin, with a mark of 66.62 meters The old record was 6610 meters, held by John Myrra of linland.
 Myrra won the Olympic cham. pionship last July. Lindstrom was second in the event.
 A iaveln. if perchance you haven't vet met one face to face. is long steel tipped spear and is thrown with swishing arm movement somewhat after the manner of ball thrown from the outfcld. 1 For years the Swedes and the Films have monopolizcd top honors in the event. MyrTa's old mark, for i instance, was made five years ago, Until Lindstrom came along Myrra was considered the wonder man ot the spears The Ty Cobb of that sport.
New Britain herald., 1924-11-10

Liudstrom is probably more re- markahle than the old champion. The Swede is amhide sterous. On the same day he set a new world record with his right hand he flung the spear 46.5j with his left, a two handrd aggregate Of 119.77 meters.
 This indicates. among other things that a man trained for the purpose has nearly 800 inches more throw ing power in his. right arm than his left. Lindstrom hurled the lance more than 20 meters with his right, 4 meter, as you know, is fraction more than 39 inches.
 What would the ambidexterous Swede do in this country as a base hall pitcher or forward passer on i the gridiron?
 What would be the effect on a { batter facing pitcher capable of i throwing a ball with equal power with either hand. and not knowing in advance which delivery to eX.

There have been ambidextrous pitchers in baseball but none of them ever made any marked pro gross. It seems to be no trick at all tor batter to change from right to left, as Frankie Frisch of the Giants does, for example, but it's something else again with the pitchers.
 Of even greater rarity is the am- bidextrous golfer. We have seen Joe Kirkwood play several trick shots left handed but the records ,faiI to di~close any top ranking player who was impartially gifted with either hand. Whether this could be turned into an advantage is a problem.
 i Generally a golfer is reluctant 10 ] fry anything different if he is going well and when diversity does Sug- gest that he make change he promptly proceeds to go worse. ! So maybe that's why we have no right and lett-handed swingers.

HIS CHANGE
ONRUN
Former President Of Harvard
Says He Became Abstainer
in 1917
BY international News Service.

IAN old man loses nothing and
gains something by abandoning
completely the use of intoxicating
drinks"
This is the way DIR. Charles w.
Eliot, of Harvard University, ex.
plains how he came to be q pro-
hibitionist after consuming vino
and beer in any company that was
using those articles" for the greater
portion Of his present ninety years.
DIR. Eliot said he became a total
abstainer in 1917, at the age Of
eighty.three.
The eminent educators explana.
ton was made in a letter to Con-
gresham Emanuel Celler, of New
York, who previously had written
him calling attention to his stand
against prohibition in 1897. Celler:s
letter was induced by DIR. EIiot's
criticism !, of anti-prohibition pro-
nouncements recently made by DIR.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
OF Columbia University.
Much water has flowed under
the bridges since 1897" said Doctor
Eliot. When the results
Of the medical examinations OF the
drafted recruits for the American
expeditionary force were published
with their very disappointing dem
onstration Of the physical incapacity
OF a large proportion of the re.
cruits, and Congress took measures
for the protection Of the camps Of
American troops, ! saw that the
opportunity had come for nation
wide action against the curse Of
alcoholism in the United States"
Replying to the letter, Congress-
man Celler said he preferred to
accept the wisdom Of a statement
made by Doctor Eliot in 1897, in
which he said, Prohibition has, OF
course, failed to subdue the drink
ing passion which will forever
prompt resistance to all restrictive
legislation"

In spite Of this condition certain
