let the player pause long enough to
say to himself, Il have it up now"
Then start it back by first moving for
ward through the hips-toward the
left.
While you pause at the top, the
shaft will bend, under the pull of the
clubhead, and then will start to recoil
toward the ball. With this recoil you
start your weight forward through the
hips-the first action in the down
swing. This will let the club 20 about
half way down toward the ball. Then
you catch it with your wrists and give
it throw through the ball. Keep the
right leg firm during all this and keep
your right toe on. the ground clear
through to the finish.
Try it that way and you will sense,
perhaps for the first time, how the
cluhhead really is thrown into the ball
with whip-cracker effect and without
consciousness of body action.
Figure 1 shows the top of the back
swing, where you pause. Figure
shows how the weight first moves for
ward through the hips, with club mere
ly following shoulder turning. Figure
3 shows where the clubhead is thrown
through with the wrists. This action
keeps the unwinding process slow and
in pace with the club.

WORLD BROADCAST
PROVES SUCCESSFUL

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-CP)-Tht
advent of 1926 found civilization more
closely linked than ever before as pow
erful radio stations in London and the
United States broadcast New Years
greetings, news dispatches and music.
The world listened and heard much of
the time.
The program was described as the
most ambitious and most successful
ever undertaken in international radio
broadcasting.
With early reports showing that
music originating in New York and
London was heard in Argentina. Mex
leo, Cuba, Canada, France, the Pacific
coast and even as far as a lonely
freighter off Peru. officials of the
Radio Corporation of America today
compiled messages from distant listen
ing posts to learn the full measure of
their success.
Station 2-LO, London, heard its
own program re-broadcast over the
Atlantic ocean from WGY at Science
tady. N. Y.
The chimes of "Big Ben" in Lon
don, of the Carlton bells Of the Park
Avenue Baptist church in New York,
radio news by The Associated Press
and the voices of John Mccormack
and Lucrezia Bori were features of
the program.

STEERS RETURN
ALL LOADED
FORLObO

An indignant Texas Longhorn,
taken by surprise and routed in his
first attempt to subdue the scrapping
Lobo of Sui Ross Normal. has lowered
his head and is preparing to make
another charge upon the Wolf Pack i'll
the Y. NJ. c. A. court, Saturday night.
IL indications are correct. there will
be packed gallery TO see these two
crack quintets in their return game.
Starting time is set at 7:15.
The Longhorns, on paper one of the
best crews gathered by Texas college
this season but still very green, re-
ceived the surprise of their lives when
the speedy and rangy Sui Ross quin-
tet took them into camp Thursday
night. Shorn of any false illusions
as to the weakness Of their opponents,
they will go into the second tilt loaded
for bear or lobo.
DEFEATS ST. MARKS
The Lobos, already at the peak OF
their form, kept in trim for their re-
turn Longhorn contest by GefeatinG
the veteran st. Marks five, last
years city champions. 33 to 30. on the
~" court Friday night. So close was
the fight, however. and so often did
the lead alternate that the result was
in doubt to the finish.
Friday nights victory marked the
fifth straight win by the Lobos over
local quintets since establishing their
training camp here. They will leave
FOR Alpine Saturday night.
Coach Graves desire to try out his
second-string almost cost the Lobos
their victory against the accurate st.
Marks goal-shooters. He rushed In
his regulars in the second half TO re-
tain the lead. Kell looped four baskets
near the close Of the game to keep
Sui Ross in front.
| FAST GOING
So speedy was the play that Referee
George O'Brien was forced TO cal
many personal fouls.
The work of Fullingim. ST. Mark
guard. in repulsing the flashy Lobe
offensc. was an outstanding feature
of the game.
The lanky Ford. with three field
GOALS. shared scoring h0norS with Kel
OF inP igODOS. NuilC bliithf iouhS'

games. Miller and Engclbert featured

RICE HAS ITS BEST
SQUAD SINCE 1878

HOUSTON, Jan. although the
Rice Institute Owls are by no means
the favorites to cop the 1926 South
west Conference championship in bas-
ketball, Coach Franklin ID. Ashcraft
should turn out one of the strongest
court combinations to represent the
Owls since 1918, when a great Rice
quintet captured conference honors.
incidentally, the 1918 five was the
only championship basketball com
bination the Owls have turned out.
With the brilliant Kingsland the out
standing performer, the Owls in that
year had team tall enough to play
the game above the heads" of the
average rival team. Kingsland was
center. Other brilliant players were
Dodge, forward; Vance and Dor
mandt, guards.
Indications are the '26 combination
will be composed in the main Of
sopbomores. Captain Jack Hopkins,
captain of the '26 team and regular
center of last season, is going to
have a hard time making a first
string berth against the speedy COM
petition of the youngsters. Hopkins
is the only bespectacled player in
the conference. He wears stout
headgear. or iron mask to prevent his
specs" getting smashed in game.
Provided they passed their fall
term examinations, it is likely the
following will make up the first string
quintet. Morris and Billups, for
wards; "Rube" Borschow, center !;
Hank" Grant. and Ralph Nevinger,
ouarda All tho memherc of This com-
bination, with exception OF Morris
are sophomores playing their first
year of intercollegiate basketball.
Borschow should develop into one
of the outstanding players in history
of the conference, if he is handled
properly. He is big. fast, and pow
erful, and seems 10 he natural
basketball player. In 1924, when play
ing for Houston Central High School,
he was named All-State center. New
niger is said to have won all state
high school hOnors in 1923 when play
ing in Illinois.
Former Houston high players make
up about half the members of the
squad. For example, Coach AsEeraft
could form second-string quintet
made up of the following Houston
youths, forwards. Ga,nmcl and Eek
Townsend and Denmann.
Among the other members Of the
squad arc Heavy Underwood. rceu-
lar rrard of last season; Calvin,
speedy forward and lcttec mai; Nc
Kinnon, .Appling, jenkins, Robb,
Joseph and Pye. ,s... -.. -

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-P)-Tex
Richard predicts that American pu'
gilism in 1926 will bring forth four
new worlds champions and two
heavyweight title battles in which
Jack Dempsey will face Harry Wills
and Gene Tunney, in an article today
in the Evening World under his own
name.
The title holders to lose their
crowns, Richard forecasts, will be
Harry Greb, middleweight; Rocky
Kansas, lightweight; Louis (kid)
Kaplan, featherweight, and Charley
(Phil) Rosenberg, bantamweisht. The
first two, hes explained, "must give
way to youth, while the featherweisht
and bantam champions must combat
the handicap of weight-making.'
TWO TITLE SCRAPS.
Il am positive that Dempsey will do
fend his heavyweight crown twice this
year and will take on both Tunney
and Wills" Richard writes. Il ex

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-CP)-A
plea to the clergy of the archdiocese

Total Abstinence Society from oblivion
and to forestall the moral decay Of
boys and girls carrying hip-flasks"
was made by Cardinal Dousherty at
New Years reception in his honor.

drinking of hard liquor now by our
American youth than in former years.

must be reckoned with.
Strong opposition for Kansas, he dc

1t was Richards opinion that Kap

the junior lightweight honors, recently
won by Tod Morgan.
"Kaplan is a champion at heart and
at 100 pounds will be even more tire
less than he is at the featherweight
limit, was the promoters view.
Richard forecast that Fidel la Bar

Committee Uses Publicity
Others were not SO sensible, and the
committee has had to publish the
names of prison-made articles, thus
notifying the public that such goods
are convict-made which is the reason
for their cheapness. The committee
directed attention to the unfair COM
petition, and in other ways secured
the cooperation of the union labor
buyer and those sympathetic with the
movement.
The committee has also secured the
services of noted prison reform lead

speech on the convict labor question
aroused much comment, and resulted
in the printing of more than ten thou
sand copies of the speech which was

Odd Ocean Denixen

One of the strangest of living crea-
lures is the animal lily, specimens OF
which have been dredged off the ocean
floor near the Queen Charlotte islands.
1t was found at a depth of 1.8 miles
below the surface. where it lived in
complete darkness, in temperature
near the freezing point and under a
pressure Of 200 atmospheres, or more
than two tons to the square inch. AL
though true animal, the creature
closely resembles lily in form and,
attached to the rocks, subsists solely
upon particles of food that the slowly
moving waters bring to 1t.
