Coach 'Univer.ity OF California ,aal Olympic
T SAW a lot of healthy boys in
England. In fact, all, except
4 ing a few in the congested sec
tions of the cities, were strong, red
checked fellows.
They're that way principally be-
cause they are brought up on sports.
They play cricket morning, noon
and night.
They have many playhelds in
England, and the, best sod in the
world grows there. Grass fields are
level, very pretty and soft, more
wonderful than any l ever saw. The
English boys play a lot and grow
up strong and hearty as a conse-
quence.
They would be even better athletes
if they trained like the American
athletes do. They're bit lax In train
ing rules.
English athletes have done very well
in competition with Americans, but
they might have done even better had
they trained. If thing is to be done
well, then ones conduct must be SO
governed. and an athlete should train.
No athlete has any business smoking
and keeping late hours. Play the game
all the time, Is my rule.

Sometimes when the ball Is
passed to a player coming down
the court on offense he finds his
opponent charging the ball imme-
diately.
The way to free ones self of this
opponent and to avoid a held ball
at the same time is for the player
to feint to the left and then to the
right, extending the right arm in
order to start a dribble at the same
time.
In this feint the player does not
advance with the ball. He simply
lodges to the side of his opponent
as he starts his dribble, as shown
in the upper illustration.
In the lower illustration such a
player does not know this stunt. AS
his opponent is charging directly
into him he will either lose the ball
or d held ball will be called.

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub It in gently with
the finger tips. By morning, most,
if not all, of your dandruff will be
:. gone, and two or three more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better

when you've reached the highest
point in your jump at center your
tipping arm should be extended to its
greatest height. The free hand may be
used in aiding the jump. Eyes focused
on the ball, please. The tipping hand
should be on the under half of the
ball. This Is important. Some centers
place their hand about midway, which
reduces their tipping ability two or
