Twilight League Standing
Williams College
Seeks Services
Of Ben HOuser

1t is reported that Ben Houser,
the Bowdoin baseball coach, and
manager of the Augusta Millionaires.
has received an offer to become an
all-year round member of the Will
liams College faculty, his duties to
include the coaching of baseball at
the Berkshire Hill institution. Hous-
err is considering the offer but has
not made a definite reply.
In the meantime Bowdoin men are
active in efforts to retain the veteran
mentor and former big league first
baseman. Houser's position at Bow
doin lasts only through the baseball
season. but at a meeting OF the Ath-
letic Council in the near future,
plans to put "Smilin' Ben" on an all
year basis will be considered.
To retain Houser as coach, Bow
dom must necessarily give him an
increase in salary as this would be
one OF the chief incentives should he
accept the Williams College offer.
Houser's salary has been once or
twice increased since he took up the
reins at Bowdoin a number of years
ago. It is likely that other things
equal Ben would prefer to remain. as
he owns farm in Litchfield, where
he passes his winters. and is COM
fortably settled in the old Pine Tree

King of a sure hit by a clever stop

How can an amateur pick out
a club with a good shaft?
Answered by
BOB CRUICKSHANK

Runner up in National Open cham
pionship. 1923, and the man who, in
1921, defeated Hutchinson, Sarazen,
and Barnes in an invitation tourna-
-nent at St. Joseph, Mo. Runner up
o. in Pttsburg tournament for profes-
sionaI golfers, 1922, being defea.eo
only by Sarazen.
To know really good shaft one
has to be working among them for
years. \ good clubmaker can tell
right away. Therefore ! would adj
wise the amateur to 70 to the pro or
clubmaker and explain to him hiatt
he wants really good shaft. The
hest way to try out the shaft is to
take the club by the grip and press
the sole or toe OF the club-head on
the ground. Do it smoothly till the
shaft bends slightly and 1t should
spring back equally smoothly. to it's
original position. Do not take a shaft
with a very heavy head, as it makes
the shaft too "whippy." 1t will warp
or bend quickly nine times out Of
ten. Just feel" the head on the
shaft so that the shaft has that
spring feel about 1t. IL the average
man would go to his pro and tell him
exactly what he wants he is almost
sure to get real service any time.
