ball can do those things. Which just
goes to show that you can't start
playing basket ball at top form the
first day out. You need training and
practice.
Last Winter throwing three baskets
out of four may have been easy for
you. But your eyes and muscles were
working together then. They've had
long layoff, and they must practice
to get back their teamwork.
At various times during the last
year you probably could sprint so
yards and then recover your regular
breathing almost instantly. But you
must be in condition to do those
things.
And when you're in perfect shape
you can bend and touch your fingers
to your toes without the least bit Of
stiffness. And when you can't, you
are not in shape.
Soft, supple muscles are necessary
So Is good wind. And so is team
work between eyes and muscles. Let's
start in and get these now.

Is yards for his team. Punters
should aim for the intersection of
the 5-yard line and goal-line on this
play.
When kicking from near ones
goalline the punter should bear in
mind the need of placing the ball
near a side-line-the one his team
is nearest when 1t lines up. Ii they
kick straight up the middle of the
field a fair catch may give the op-
ponents free try for field goal.
No use taking such a chance.
Kick straight up the field if lined
up near a sideline. Your team
mates can cover such kick best
and usually throw the receiver
near a sideline, The weakest posi-
ton for the attack. If such a
punter kicks across to the other
sideline the receiver has a far bet
ter chance to run it back as few
men can cover a punt Of this kind.
Watch the punters in the next
game on these points. If the game
is close the kicker who uses judg.
ment in placing his punts will
give his team a big advantage.

ANOTHER "CASE' AGAINST
1T SEEN in COAST GAME
Notre Danes Victory Over Southern California by
Kicking Lone Goal, After Each Counts Twice,
Is Called Concluding Evidence.

way the contest worked out is that
a decision was reached in an hnpor-
tant intersectiona1 foot ball game.
But there are always two ways of
regarding an argument Of this sort;
there Is the angle of the winning
team and the viewpoint of the losing
eleven. Notre Dame, thus. has no
cause for discomfort over the point
after touchdown rule whereas Cali
fornia has plenty.
No rule, Of course. ever can deal
with perfect balance as between two
rivals; for there is always the team
In whose behalf the rule Is invoked
and the one that must suffer.
But in most of the stipulations con-
cerning gridiron play the team that
suffers has received merited punish
ment through some infraction.
In the case of the score following
touchdown the penalty of a lost point
falls to the eleven whose goalkicker
either has not been as lucky or as
skilful. as the case may be, in booting
the ball across the bar
In any event. the team failing to
gain the extra point is penalized not
through failure in that team effort
which brought about the touchdown.
but because Of the inaccurate perform
ance of a kicking specialist.
Would Abolish Kick.
If the point after touchdown must
remain then let it he scored by a
running or forward pass play in which
an entire team participates in the at
tempt to score and in which the de-
Tending team has a better chance to
prevent the score than it has on a
drop or placement kick.
Now that Notre Dame has braved
the mild California Winter climate,
the Trojans next year must come
north and endure Chicago's chill De
cember weather. 1t will he interesting
to see if they can adapt themselves
to it as we'll as Notre Dame adapted
herself to the warmer temperature of
the golden coast.

M Notre Danes passing attack
VI in the last moments of the
1 game against the University
of Southern California brought
victory to the South Bend eleven.
This was the second time the Tro-
jams have lost by 13-to-12 score, and
the second time that defeat has come
because of failure in goal kicking.
Parisien, passing with his left hand
on two occasions, pulled the play
over to the sidelines. paving the way
for the touchdown that spelled defeat
for Howard Jones' men.

Notre Danes victory was due chief

Bend eleven took advantage of this.
The U. S. c.. outfit showed a lot of
power. but not only was their defense
against passing plays wretched. but
they used little deception in their
running plays-or at least little de-
ception of sort qualified to deceive.
Notre Danes rushing attack was
much better covered.
Yet. when all is said and done, the
fact remains that each eleven made
two touchdowns and that the score
ought to have been a tie. had 1t not

Good punters must be able to do
more than kick the ball high and
far. Their greatest asset is to place
it. When they have mastered
placing the ball they are of great
value. For example, when a team
punts from near midf1eld 1t is far
better for the kicker to drop the
ball out of bounds around the op-
ponents' 5-yard line than to roll 1t
over the opponents goal-line. In
the first case the opponents put it
in play on their 5-yard line. In
the second it's a touchback and
they put 1t in play on their 20.yard

chest shot from the middle dis
tances he's so sure in scoring from,
as there is far less chance of this
shot being blocked by an opponent.
All good shooters who use the
chest shot first learn the form by

for foul shooting.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF

PROCEDURE
eBy A.@oelated Press,

JACKSONVILLE, Fla,
March 25.-The executive
committee of the Florida Ad-
visory Board today announc-
ed the lifting of the railroad
embargo at Jacksonville effec-
tive at midnight tonight. The
action restores the movement
of freight to and from Florida
through Jacksonville to pre-
embargo conditions. The en-
barge was put into effect last
October 80.
Members of the executive
committee said the lift of the
embargo would facilitate the
sending of freight in and out
of florida inasmuch as Jack
sonville is the clearing house
for most of the Florida traf-
fic. Conditions in tne Jack
sonville yards where as many
as 1000 cars had been jamm-
ed at one time last fall, were
now said to be normal.
