NAVY In LAST DRILL;
STARTS WEST TODAY

ANNAPOLIS, Md, October %
With the completion of the last regu-
lar practice at the Naval Academy
yesterday afternoon, the foot ball
team was practically assured of being
able to put its full strength onto the
field against Michigan at Ann Arbor
on Saturday.
Head Coach Owsley stated that the
lineup was settled, except as to the
center position. Osborn and Hoerner
being the possibilities for that place.
The rest Of the lineup, Owsley said
would be: Left end. Hardwick: left
tackle. Wickhorst; left guard, Lentz
(captain); right guard, Edwards; right
tackle, Eddy; right end. Bernet: quar-
terbaCk, Hamilton; left half, Flippin
right half, Banks; fuIlback, Shapley.
Shapley, upon whom the Navy will
depend chiefly for its ground gaining
against Michigan, was never in better
shape. Yesterday OWsley permitted
his varsity to have a restricted scrim-
mage against Squad B. drilling 1t in
defensive tactics against Michigan
plays and polishing up some of his
own offensive plays. Later the first
string of substitutes worked out along
the same lines.
The only other practice before the
game will be the workout on the
Michigan field Friday. The squad
leaves Annapolis early this aftern0 n
and is scheduled to arrive in Detr lit
at o'clock Friday morning. The
squad will motor to Ann Arbor for
practice Friday afternoon and return
to Detroit to spend the night.

The Harvard varsity coaches made
several shifts in the lineup of teams
yesterday. but the changes are not
looked upon as standing and in some
cases are just to balance up the
elevens. Moseley and McGlone were
both used on team A at quarter. but
Capt. Cheek was pilot on team G.
with Coady also in the backfield and
Bradford at guard.
Sayles, the best end on the squad,
was OH team E, while Braden, re

WHO UOeS II iOHS lllllc Ddu Will III
In Figure l the correct form for
the top of the backswing with the
mashie IS shown. This corresponds to
what would commonly be called half
swing with a wood-or possibly a
three-quarter swing. If the mashie
Is swung back farther than this the
chances are that mistiming will re-
suit. From this point in the back
swing the blade is started forward
and downward. easily and with per
feet rhythm, then the mashie head
is thrown into and through the ball
and as far out after it as the arms
will reach. The maShie stroke calls
for precision, not force.
In Figure Is shown a backswing
with the mashie where the club has
been taken back much too far. Com
pare this with the position shown in
Figure l and see how much better the
one is positioned to hit than Is the
other. Only by accident, 1t can be
seen. will the golfer who swings as
shown in Figure be able to get the
blade at the ball with perfect timing.
Another common mistake among
golfers is that of trying to shoot the
ball too far with mashie. Now and
then, with a long, full backswing
which happens to connect with good
timing, a player can send the ball
ITO to $50 yards with his mashie. but
why strive for such distance? 4
three-quarter swing with a mashie
iron, or q half-swing with q mid
iron, would put the ball in the same
place with much less effort and prac-
tically no risk of mistiminS through
overswinging.
Some golfers seem to think it repre-
sents something of an accomplishment
to bang a ball terrific distance with
a mashie. That Is no accomplishment
at all-in fact, the player who knows
enough about golf never to force his
clubs is really the accomplished play
er, and in round he has little to
fear when he sees an opponent riding
his mashie for shots much longer
than the range Of the club calls for.
Overclubbing shots is worse than
underclubbing them, since the under

at Forksville, and young Grange was
an interested spectator to the feats OF
the older and bigger boys, who held
their track games in connection with
the gathering.
Fails at Pole VauIting.
Filled with that spirit of emulation
which he now arouses in the hearts
of thousands Of boys, he decided to te
a pole vaulter. Homemade standards
were constructed and he tried his art.
The pole did not behave in his young
hands, and he was badly gouged.
Three ribs were broken and he still
bears the scars OF his first athletic
attempt.
1t was the age of slingshots, of stub
bed toes, Of charming irresponsibility
in a world that was a succession of
wonders. His father was over six
feet tall and weighed 200 pounds.
What a dad for boy to brag about.
He was the boss of the lumberjacks.
Young Red was just entering the
dazzling junior court of Boyville when
his mother died. The worst possible
blow that can be aimed at boy or girl
hit Red Grange at a time when 1t
hurt most. Some Of the timfdity and
reticence of later years may be traced
to that bereavement. Yet had 1t not
happened. he would never have come
West, probably would never have
played foot ball.
With two boys and two girls
left motherless, Reds father faced
dilemma. He gathered up his little
family that year, 1909. and went West
to Wheaton, Ill, where he had many
relatives.
The change to that busting ex-
istence of Wheaton was a change en-
tirely acceptable to 6-year-old Red
Grange. The poetry of the looming
hills was gone, but in their stead
came a wider outlook across the fiat
plains of Illinois. Things were hap
pening in the prairie town., and echoes
from the great city Of Chicago were
constant. Reds aunt took charge
Of the Grange menage.
Star at Basket Ball.
School was irksome, but the boy be-
came resigned to 1t because of the
many athletic games that were
played. There was no public gymna-
SUM in the town, but some of the
boys had wonderful barn lofts, which
were fitted up for basket ball. The
future foot ball marvel became an
adept player of the cage game.
In Summer there were church pic
MICS, where the youngsters ran races
and completed in acts Of skill. 1t was
at one of these that Red first knew
the joys of a victor, when he won a
base ball. This base ball was his most
priced possession for some time, and
he still remembers wildly the final
dash Of sturdy young legs which car.
ried him across the line a winner.

and swimming in the creeks.
During that time, from first grade
TO sixth, young Grange made excellent
progress in getting a sound physique.
His father was his strict trainer, and
saw to 1t that Red went to bed at $50,
and received the sleep necessary for
youthful body building.
The usual boyhood bloody noses and
blackened eyes were brought home by
the youthful Grange. His aunt, who
was very religious, was sometimes
scandalized, but his father was only
interested in hearing that he had
fought fairly.
Distant Admirer.
1t was during these days that Reds
latent chivalry toward the beribboned
young things made it's appearance. He
was sent to Sabbath school every
week, and being somewhat bashful
about making advances to the restless
sex, would admire them intensely from
a safe distance. One of the reasons
that he never missed a Sunday session
was a regular fair devotee of the les
sons. She had beautiful curls
sparkling brown eyes and disconcert
ing smile. The young lady lived across
the street from the Grange residence
and the present terror Of the foot ball
field could not be persuaded to use
that side of the thoroughfare. He
never did speak to her. He loved her
from a distance.
Such things as tops. marbles and
bicycles kept Reds mind busy so that
he was able to stand up under the
possible loss Of a love affair which he
alone knew about.
With several other young men. he
set off at this time to make a cycling
tour of the nearby towns, and the
boys were carried away with enthu
siastic pedaling. When they dismount
ed, after their first 10 miles, they
could scarcely walk.
Before the sixth grade was entered
Red, had achieved remarkably
rugged physique. He was a bit long.
legged, but the stamina of good lungs
and heart was apparent. Life outdoors
in the little town Of Wheaton, with its
clear air and healthy surroundings,
had continued the work started by the
nesting hamlet Of the Pennsylvania
mountains.
