Peace for an hour or two will
be declared between the warning
Mohawk and Apaches tribes when
tonight their council chiefs gather
at The Herald sports department
to lay down general agreement
for next Sundays battle in the
Griffith stadium.
This will be the final as well as
the most important major sandlot
football engagement of the year.
Unless there is a tie it will de.
termine supremacy between the
Mohawks and Apaches in a feud
that is years old. but more than
that, it will settle the championship
of all Washington and vicinity.
Today many figurative scaIps

StantOns. who fell before the
MOllaWks, and the Virginians.

Greater experience on the war
path and a preponderance of heft
made it easy for the Mohawks to
dispose of the ambitious Stantons

TRIP
IN DOUBT

Lou Little. director OF athletics
at Georgetown University and
coach OF the successful football
eleven. today endeavored to get
into touch with st. Mary's Col.
lege, of Oakland. Cal, regarding an
invitation rendered some time ago
for trip of the Hilltoppers to the
coast to appear in an intersectional
game.
THE invitation from st. Mary's
came some time ago." said Director
Little. I'VE paid it little atten.
ton. having plenty on our minds
then. Now that it comes up again,
I'll try and get into touch with st
Mary's.
IF the proposition looks
worth while. Georgetown may
make the trip. However. l
hardly think ST. Mary's can
make an offer that will take
us out there"
Complete mystery surrounds re.
ports from New York that Frank
McGrath. Carl Waite and Babe
Connaughton are to play profess
sional football on a team managed
by Charlie Rogers, this years star
halfback at Pennsylvania. The au-
thorities at the Hilltop have wired
all three members OF the team re.
garding the report. Some informa-
ton is expected some time late to-
day.
while McGrath, Waite and Con.
naughton have played their last
football game, unless a postseason
clash Is staged. it is felt at George
town that they should not spring
at once into the professional ranks

favorites for places on the first
eleven. These men. If one can judge
by such widespread opinion. are
the outstanding figures in 1926 foot
ball.
On certain other positions there
was a merry battle and the first and
second selections were determined
only after the toughest sort of re.
search and comparison OF records.
Such battle was staged between
Hess, OF Ohio, and Sturhahn. of
Yale. for the guard position: between
Baker. of Northwestern, and Flanni.
gan, of Notre Dame. for a half back
post, and between Boeringer. OF
Notre Dame A.. and Butler. of Penn.

In only two cases was there
any shifting of men. johnson.

tackle after receiving consider.
alton for both tackle and guard,
and kaFOw, Of Ohio State. WAS
shifted to half back to make
place for MurreIl. Of Army. who
ran neck and neck race with
him for fnllba"k honOrs.

Feavily in the votes. Sturhahn was
strong candidate for guard. but
finally gave place to Hess. Of Ohio

and sensational back. was unplaced
because he participated in so few
games.

Stance and Grip.
Important In
Golf Shots
BY Charles Chick Evans Jr.

1t is very necessary to have a
slender inner section of your thumb
resting upon the grip of this club.
OF course, believe only in a grip
where the thumbs are down the
shaft. The grip should not be the
one caused by gritting the teeth.
In fact, the finger grip should be
loose enough to feel the clubhead.
I think one should have as nearly
a square stance as possible with
the feet far enough apart to give
a feeling of solidity. DO not feel
that you are doing wrong il you
open your stance a little.
Be sure not to do this too
much. however, for then the right
shoulder is apt to get in the wrong
position. The comfort OF thel feet
has much to do with this shot.
The toes should be turned out. but
not too much nor too little.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1926-11-29

/ believe in a medium upright
position of the body. Try to feel
steady and generally relaxed. There
should be medium bend to he
knee, with an even distribution of
weight on each leg. The shoulders
should be on a line which is paral.
lei to the imaginary direction line
| believe in the comfortable bend
of the elbow at the beginning Of the
stroke. Try to feel good balance
throughout. Avoid the tendency
most players have OF bending over
too much. Try to feel an indepen-
dence Of the arms even to the point
of thinking of them almost detached
from the body.
The clubhead must lie naturally.
Remember you cannot hit with the
wrists turned down. Never let your
eye stray from the ball too far. AS
soon as the clubhead is in position
the motion should be continuous for
the sake of rhythm. Watch the part
Of the imaginary direction line about
q yard in front Of the ball and hit
into it.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1926-11-29

The position of the ball should
be about off the left heel. II
am playing against the wind /
play it nearer my right foot, and
If with the wind, nearer my left
toes. ! stand at a medium easy
distance from the ball; q little
nearer in high wind. | thor.
Oughly believe I'm starting each
hole with a clean ball for II mud
or anything else gets between the
clubface and the ball your shot
may do most anything.

new POLLS WILL
USED FOR STATE
ELECTION MONDAY

New polling places will be used at
the state election on Monday and
progably these same places will have
to be occupied for the remainder OF
the elections this year. The grocery
store of Fred Nudd in Ward which
has been the center of activity on
election day for many years will not
be available for this purpose this
year and citizens of this ward will
70 to the hose house on Liberty street
to cast their vote. The New Mills
School was used as polling place
for the primary election and as Ward
4 is without a hose house or other
public building suitable for the pur-
pose, the opening of school must &c
delayed a day in order that the build
ing may be occupied as polling
place. The store which has been used
in former elections since the hose
house burned is not available this
year.
The voters in Ward l will cast
their polls at Jesse BARRIERS wood
working shop on Highland avenue,
the usual place. The Steamer House
viii be used in Ward 2, the City
building in Ward 3, the New Mills
School in Ward 4, the Liberty street
hose house in Ward 5. the South Gar
diner hose house in Ward and the
Libby Hill School house in Precinct
Z. Interest in the election in Gardi-
ner is not as marked In comparison
with some previous years, and al
though both parties have made their
customary preparations not a great
dearuf publicity has been given out
here. The greatest interest in this
city is probably in the contest foI
high sheriff of the county which will
rival that of the gubernatorial con-
test
