WAVERL VS.
THREATEN
TROUBLE

Despite its record Of seven con.

the, season and a total of 1873 points
against IL for its enemies the
Apache Athletic Club football team
is on the short end OF odds today for
tts championship battle in the Grit.
fifth stadium tomorrow with the
Mohawks.
But the odds are skinny. It's a
puzzling match. Some contend that
the Apaches' splendid team spirit
and closely knit combination should
triumph over Mohawk individualism.
Others incline to the thought that
the brilliance of the Mohawks' ex
collegiates and their advantage in
heft will be too much for the
Apaches.
Still others string along with
O bunch that the game will turn
out to be something i'm the ma
ture of . dog fight with football
skill tossed to the winds. Feel
Ing on both sides is tense, more
90 than in any sandlOt game
played here in years.
Like two dogs scrapping oyer a
bone, the Mohawk and Apache clubs
are contesting for the city indie
pendent title. Enters here the COM
mercial. spirit as well as sport
rivalry. The Mohawks' stronghold
is the Griffith stadium. The
Apaches hold forth at Union Park.
The gate pull of title, in your
sandlot football, is important.
Whether the majority Of paying
sandlot fans trek to the Griffith
stadium next season or to Union
Park may depend on the outcome Of
tomorrow's clash.
In the background and of ominous
bearing is the Waverly eleven which
is billed to meet the Mohawks a
week from tomorrow. 1t is an easy
possibility that Waverly will step q.
and grab the prize over which tie
MohaWks and Apaches are SO &c.
nously worked up.
IT is well at this time to recall
that WaVerly whipped the Mo-
hawks, 3 to o, and that the Mo-
hawks later returned the blow,
by u 13-tO-T score: that both
battles were so closely con-

Then, again, the Apaches have

have been warm rivals. The Wa

cIares that he has been unable to

lieve that there is not now and
there never was a player who could
play long spoon shot to a green
as well as Bobby Jones. Because
of it's approaching qualities this
shot needs more variety of play
than the other wooden clubs. You
should know how to hit high ball.
You can get this by putting a
little more wrist into the shot and
keeping your hands back of the
ball at the time the clubhead meets
1t. You want to know how to get
a low ball. You don't have to play
the ball off your right foot in order
to do this. Let it be in it's original
position but have the hands a little
in front of the ball when the club.
head meets it.
OF course, in both of these shots
you want to visualize the course
the ball is going to take and then
you will adjust your individual
characteristics to it. You need to
play slice every now and then
and you can do it by opening your
stance a little bit, leaving the ball
in the same position. off the left
heel, and hitting SO that your club.
head will draw itself across the
ball from right to left.
1t is good idea to bear in
mind that your right hand should
be underneath at the time of hit
ting this shot. Also that YOUR
hands should be a little ahead of
the ball at the time of hitting so
that the clubface will be a little
slanting when the ball is met.
| II you want to hook, just reverse
these conditions. That is. have your
hands little behind the ball wher
1t Is hit, your right hand turning
over a little bit and finishing at
the end of the followthrough with
its right-hand knuckles pointing
toward the sky. Some of the most
beautiful shots l have ever seen
played in my life have been Oft the
spoon. They stand out prominently
in my memory. Bob Macdonald was
a great spoon player. ! beat less
Sweetser once on the thirty.sixth
hole with a spoon shot. NV advice
to golfers is that they get more
acquainted with the spoon.

In creating the Arcadia

physical instructor and athletic
director, John Blick has given
to the Mt. Pleasant section of
Washington section which
incidentally comes as near to
representing the city's center of
population as any we know-an
institution which should do as
much for the proper physical
development of the younger men
who join it.
It will do much also to keep
in body trim the elders who
avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunities which the club will af-
ford.
Equipped with gymnastic
paraphernalia and other trap
pings destined to regulate ad-
vancement in any of the vari-
GUS athletic sciences and with
a competent mentor in charge,
the Arcadia Club provides the
upper reaches of the city with
accommodations which are
found in the Y. M. C. A., City
Club and Racquet Club further
down town.
The venture seems to COM
plete the ambitions of Blick to
