LONDON Feb. l8.-The Filth ave-

its alternating lights has been adopt
ed for Piccadilly from the famous
Circus to Hyde Park corner.
London will not adopt New York's
graceful metal watch towers, for all
the space in this main artery is
needed for the increasing number of
automobiles but signal lights, con-
trolled by an officer in Picadilly
Circus or at the intersection of St.
James street, will stop and start traf-
fic simultaneously along tie street.
This is only one of the many inno-
vations adopted to relieve the con-
gestion Of Londons narrow and ir-
and circuses the one way movement
.of traffic has been adopted with
great success from the standpoint OF
everyone but the pedestrian.

The increasing vogue of the double
breasted coats has caused men or
fashion in London to resort to diet

his best in double breasted suit;
hence the "banting" denial of favor

Haig Rhondda one of England's
leading business women, told an audi

opment of mechanical appliances re-.

formerly done by women, Lady
Rhondda said, and she thought that
as a result there was danger ahead.
In any group where women were
really idle, it would be found that

PARIS Feb. 1s.--The offer of a
prize for the best drinking song in
honor of champagne marks the
latest effort to hasten the return of
Rheims, the center of the cham.

The purchase of military supplies
left in France after the war has
turned out a very poor stroke of
business for France. The amount
France has received by selling these
SO9, 594, 900 francs. This figure can
not be regarded as final, as there
are still a few sales to be effected
and some accounts to be checked. 1t
is difficult to compare this sum with
the price that France undertook to
pay, $4O0O00,OOO, as the sales have
been spread over nearly six years,
during which the value of the franc
has varied considerably At the
present rate of exchange, the re-
ceipts represent about $124,S90,OO0.
English has become the universal
language of the Riviera. One hears
it in the casinos, palaces and prome-
nades, on the street, i'm the theatres,
everywhere. 1t is spoken with the
twang of the Yankee, the drawl of
the southernA states, the sharp ac-
cent of London and here and there
the gutteral tones of Scotland.
The residents of the Riviera have
become accustomed to the sound of
English, but now and then late ar
rivals from Paris express surprise,
and wonder whether this is France
or some seaboard series of resorts on
the North sea or on the coast of New
Jersey.

This is the day set for the basket
shooting contest. and ii is hoped that
every boy who possibly can will par
ticipate. These little contests are but
preliminary to larger affairs that will
be held later.
In handing in the scores the boys
are asked to abide by the pledge.
Coach Paul Prehn of the University
of Illinois wrestling squad is teaching
a hold TO the members of the club
through their column today. Although
wrestling is the bad boy of the com
mercial sports family, il is decidedly
popular as collegiate and amateur
pastime. In college it holds a place
of prominence, while in the Olympic
games 1t is considered one of the
major sports.
Tomorrow the column will ask the
boy to keep account of his physical
development and also show him how.
A few days later We'll have the first
of our base ball talks by the manager
of the Chicago Cubs In the mean
time keep practicing those sprints in
doors. Little short starts will do. Well

RY WALTER NJ. CHRISTIE,
Ir,,vorsity OF California Coach.

THE real athlete in the making
is the boy who likes hard
1 work. This sort of boy be-
comes the sturdiest, the best in long
races and endurance contests. Amer
ica right now is weak when it comes
TO real long distance races. The an
swer is lack Of hard work, lack Of
long distance walking, the best ex-
ercise in the world.
That's the Finn, He walks and
walks. He does plenty of walking to
create stamina and endurance. Per
haps 1t is easier for the little Firms to
do so much walking because they have
fewer rides. Nurmi wasn't spoiled
with rides He walked and walked
chopped down trees and was careful
with his diet.
Now all the little Films are follow
ing Nurmi'S example.
Boys, here is your chance 10 win
back for America some of the laurels
we have lost to the Firms.
II you American boys will prepare
by walking, you will be ready for long
distance runs later on. And when !
saw walk I mean walking to another
town, or far out In the country, and
walking back. Don't run. but walk
briskly.
These little Firms are wonders and
every one of them now Is training to
emulate the great Paavo Nurmi, who
showed his heels to America last
Winter.
Well, fellows, you can write and tell
Mr.. Christie that you're already busy
on the walking schedule and maybe
he'll see some better runners than
Nurmi in a few years And they'll be

CANNES, February 10. - Helen

tinued her triumphant progress
through the Carlton tournament to-

without the loss Of game.
Miss Wills thus advances another

Notwithstanding the ultimatum of

draw from the tournament If all pho
tographers who SO desired were not
allowed to take pictures Of the antici.
pated match between Miss Wills and
herself, the commercial aspect of the
tournament still prevailed today.
The management last night an.

offer of William Blumenthal of New
York and Capt. Ben Higgs Of London
for the exclusive cinema rights. This
was at first taken to mean that all de-

proviso attached to il that all the

The latest announcement is that

and procure an amount equal to that
offered by those who had been given

DO THIS

on certain occasions some play

is that the other team cannot pos
sibly score if your team has pos
session Of the ball.
One Of these occasions is when a
player has worked the ball up
past the center Of the court. is
covered himself. and his teammates
ahead are not clear. Then he
should pass 1t always to a team
mate behind him who is clear, as
pictured in the above illustration,
rather than pass it forward to q
teammate who must first fight in
order to receive 1t, as in the illus
tration below.
Good basket ball is being played
when a team is compelled to pass
the ball into the back court for
the purpose of starting to work It
forward again. Don't ever forget
that.
