balance the power of the swing is in
variably wasted at points where 1t
does no good. This is the funda-
mental reason why the player should
strive for rhythm rather than ire
mcndous hitting power. 1t is the
rhythm of the body action and the
gradual extension of power until the
correct tension is attained that makes
for power on the ball. Perhaps this
is the hardest Of all lessons in golf to
learn, but the player may as well
make up his mind 10 the fact that be

SOME OF THE RULES

by Belmont as follows:
No training camps or training Ia

are allowed: competition limited &c
three years: a transfer athlete must
attend new school for a year bcfort
becoming eligible; high scholarship
standards for varsity and Freshmen
competition required; professionalism

1913, the only organized athletic con.
ference in the state was the Texas
intercollegiate Athletic Association,
composed of Texas University. Texa-
a. and NJ. College. Baylor. Southwest
crn. Trinity, Rice and Austin College.
Today there are four strong organiZa-
tions. Southwest Conference, Texts
Conference. Il. /. A. A. and Junior
College Association. Each organiZa-
ton has done much to improve ath-
lctics.
"Since I am better acquainted with
working of the Southwest Conference.
/ will use this organization in citing
examples. Every effort is now being
made in the Southwest Conference to
obtain participation of the largest pos
siblc number Of men. In the old days,
little attention was paid to sports
other than football and baseball, but
now the conference ia also fostering
basketball, track, tennis, golf, wrcst-
ling and cross country, with receipts
from football in large measure max
ing possible the widening. Too,
awards in all sports have been stabil-
lied, given the track star recognition
with the football star.
1.-TWO years ago the number of
conference basketball and baseball
games was cut in half, reducing the
number of hours the participants must
lose from classes on out of trips.
Formation Of n directors associa-
ton has been helpful. This assOcia-
ton has made nossible lcssening the
cost of officials and resulted in get
ting better officials. This year for
the first time two officials are being
used in every conference basketball
game"

No new men have been acquired

should hurdle two, possibly three or
four, positions this year.

pitchers are going TO get the most at

the objects Of greatest concern. The
club recalled four recruits late last
season, but Speaker is most concerned
about these two experienced slab
bcrs who were ineffective last year.
Sherrod Smith. Miller. Buckeye and
Karr were fairly consistent winners
in 1929. but need the help Of one or
both of the other two.
