Princeton Squad Hit.
Princeton mourns the loss Of some
valuable freshman line material
through faculty action, and the plebes
at West Point would be the richer in
point Of foot ball material If several
college foot ball players had been able
to meet the conditions of scholarship
which are imposed upon entering
cadets.
If roster of qualified foot ball
players who will not be available for
college elevens throughout the coun-
try because Of inability to keep up
with the work Of the curriculum
could be published, the list probably
would occupy a column or so. Little
is said about this, but the melancholy
fact remains and the only bright
aspect of the situation is that it goes
to prove what many critics Of college
sport are inclined to overlook, or
ignore, that after all the educational
institutions of the land-in large part
at least--are chiefly interested in edu-
cation.

tentative eleven
d. PICKED AT HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, September IT.
A tentative eleven selected from
Harvard's varsity foot ball squad was
to get some strenuous drilling today.
Coach Bob Fisher plans to drive his
men at top speed through practice

In spite of rain and a wet field. Har-
wards foot ball players held both their
sessions yesterday. The f1rst team
squad was broken UP into three elev-

players are ranking as the campaign

The three teams started their drill
ing on plays in the morning. and con-
tinued this work in the afternoon.
Nothing like this ever has happened
in Cambridge before on the second
day Of practice or so long before col
lege has opened.
The first team included Sayles and
Doherty, weighing respectively 100
and III pounds, at ends; Pratt, lss'
and Lindner, 1877, tackles; kllgour,
200. and Hoague, 100, guards, and

team aspirants was to enter brisk

Coach McEwan is anxious to get an
early line on the material at hand.

Cdll L tliS SluUllCdu St1ll Ilt
That's the secret of it-you do not
delay the clubhead. Quite the con-
trary. you let the clubhead go free for
its maximum of work on the ball. The
moment you introduce body lunging
or sudden jerks of power you paralyze
the clubhead's resiliency Of flight be-
cause you then are quitting with the
clubhead and beginning with the body
that is, in lunging you try to hit the
ball with your body, not with the club
head.
The most understandable parallel I
can find to illustrate the delayed hit
is the action you would make with a
hammer when driving a nail. You
know exactly how that is done, or
how an AK is swung. In neither of
these would you introduce the least
body action beyond the natural,
rhythmic motions of the body that
follow the swing of hammer of ak.
The same thing identically takes place
with the golf club and the player who
gets onto that fact begins to play
tip-top golf in quick order.

VETERAN MATERIAL
ABOUNDS AT YALE

NEW HAVEN, Conn, September
17.-Poor old Yale! Poor Old Eli! Poor
old Bulldog. Bow! Wow! Wow!
They're shedding copious tears up
here in New Haven. Whenever they
think of the coming of the 1925 foot
ball season, now nearing the threshold,
strong men hereabout break down and
weep. Yes they do-not, They're
quietly making preparations for few
hot times in the old town in spite of
certain and sundry losses and in the
as that Of Penn.
For, balancing up the gridiron
ledger, the Yale foot ball firm still is
one Of the strongest in the East, with
it's tangible assets something like 19
or so "Y" men against 1924 losses
amounting to 8. It's a good thing that
the Government doesn't collect taxes
on varsity letter men.
When Head Coach Tad Jones kept
running in q procession of substitutes
last season, making the Yale after
the-game lineup appear like page
out of the telephone directory, he evil
IDENTIFY knew what he was doing, al
though no one else did at the time.
The motive has just been revealed.
1t was to get ready for the 1925 sea

evident by the number of experienced
players he has ready to step into the
holes vacated by Messrs. Pond. Scott
Uuman, Lovejoy. Bench and Eckart
all of whom have now passed into the
great beyond of memory, taking their
places with Heff1efnger, Camp, Stagg
Black, Jones, Coy, Hinkey, Sharpe and
other heroes of bygone days.
The Eli squad, so in number, now is
hard at work on Yale Field. adjacent
to the Bowl, which will soon be the
scene of string of three games that
will shed more light on the Yale situa
ton. At the present time the outlook
appears to be bright-even brighter
than Yale men would have one be

RADICAL CHANGE MADE
IN BASKET BALL RULES

OCEAN CITY, n. j., September II
R-A departure in basket ball scor.
ing has been taken by the executive
committee of the Eastern Basket Ball
League in the adoption of new rules
designed to curtail fouling.
Under the leagues plan. players
guilty of fouls will take the penalty
shots, rather than the victims of their
violations. as has heretofore been the
practice. If the offending player then
succeeds in netting the ball, neither
side will receive an additional point
But if he fails to make the shot,
point will be credited to the teams
against which the foul was committed,
the ball remaining in play after the
attempt.

Here the feet are supporting the
weight on about equal terms. Since
the mashie weighs only a few ounces,
the player has been able to take it up
to this position, let US say, without any
great struggle with it-that is, his
muscles are free and loose. just barely
controlled, as they would be If he had
an ak in his bands. From this point
he moves toward the ball, arms and
hands first, letting the mashie head
swing in back some. Near the ball.

An eighteen-hoie play-off found Tur-

Such a good showing in his first
match with professionals, and espe-

young Joe. Prior to that they had

the use of his irons, which were then
his greatest weakness. Joe worked
hard, and in due course became a top
notcher.
The story is that at the 1924 ma
tional open at Oakland Hills, Detroit,
which 1 was fortunate enough to win,
Turnesa said to Walter Hagen:
I'm trying to copy you in my golf,
Walter"
To which Hagen replied:
