MAN 0 WARS SON
CHAMPION OF TURF

For the first time in several years
there was no Papyrus from England
or Epinard from France TO add a
touch of international glamor to the
last racing season but, nevertheless,
it contriyed to enjoy its customary
success. Crowds were as great, if not
greater. than ever before. Competi-
ton was Of the best.
And so were the champions. One
of them was American Flag, son of
the great Man o War. American
Flag had no trouble in establishing
his supremacy as the best three-year-
old of the campaign.
Another champion was Pompey,
which won the Futurity, the Hope
full and most of the important stakes
for two-year-olds.
Pompey was beaten only once,
Flight of Time getting the honor, but
there was no doubt that the former
was entitled to be hailed the leading
juvenile of the year.
American Flag won the Belmont,
the Withers, the Lawrence Realiza-
ton and other big stakes, but didn't
start in either the Kentucky Derby
or the Preakness.

The novice golfer invariably lifts
his wood clubs upwards. The par
golfer never lifts one up. Until the
player learns not to lift his club he
will make little progress in the sport,
with scoring, but the reverse Of this
also is true, so that as soon as he
schools himself TO put the wood behind
him, his scores will drop and his
drives will lengthen.
Since most golfers break the club
back from the ball with a wrist ac-
ton, let us observe a club so started,
and then trace what should happen
with it as against what often does
happen. In Figure 1 we see n wood
club which has started in the back
swing and, being about half way back,
is at the point where golfers intro
duce the lifting habit. This lift
causes the club to start straight up
from the point 12-B, on the chart.
so that the head goes in the general
direction of point 2-J. Instead, it
should progress from point LIB di-
rectly on around, toward points Sand

TWO CHANGES LIKELY
IN FOOTBALL RULES

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 6.-CP)
Two possible changes in football rules
for next season are discussed by Will
liam S. Langford, secretary of the foot
ball rules committee, in the Yale Daily
News today.
There may be some discussion about
the restricting or limiting of the for
ward pass. he said, and the point-after-
touchdown ruling probably will be
brought IN at the committee meeting
for revision.
Mr.. Langford does not believe the
football season can be shortened any
more than at present and expresses
the opinion that the Big Three agree
ment not to start practice until Sep
TENDER Is is dangerous. Teams are
played, he points out, which have four
weeks training. while those bound by
the agreement have only two.
He criticises the "cash value being
placed ON football by the betting which
is so generally carried on by the alumni
Of the various colleges and universe
ties" and characterizes the worst fea-
turc of football at the present time as
THE demand for victory"

HAS
DEVOTEES At
TEXAS j

AUSTIN, Jan. 6.-[P)-Handball
is so popular a game among Texas
University students that four new
courts are now being built for their
use. The courts will be ready within
the next few days. Their completion
will make available nine courts in the
mems gymnasium, capable of accom-
modating maximum Of SO players.
As the game has at least 200 regular
devotees, even the addition Of the four
courts will not take care of the de-
mand.
While there are some capable hand
ball players among the student body,
the most expert players are in the fac
ulty. Unquestionably the three ablest
players in school are L. Thco Bell
mont, athletic director, generally con
ceded the best player in Austin. if not
in the state, Roy Bedichek, director
of the Texas University Interscholas'
tic League, and Roy Henderson, ath'
letic director of the league.
For years, Bellmont's hobby has
been to take on the university stu
dent champion and administer a SOUND
defeat. He has been playing the game
for Is or 20 years, and his anticipa
ton of opponents shots and genera
court strategy are masterful. Bell
mont, Bedichek and Henderson arr
not young men, but they can outlas
and outspeed athletes many years
their junior.
Berry Whitaker, intramural athletic
director; Clyde Littlefield, varsit!
track coach, and Shorty" Anderson
assistant football coach, are all capa
bic players who compare favorabl,
with the trio first named.
Some of the hardest fought game;
played on the university courts are
played by Walter Fisher, Texas Uni
vcrsity three-letter athlete of 80 years
ago, and Lutcher Stark, Orange, chair
man of the Texas University board Of
regents. They are both splendid play
crs and bitter rivals on n handbal
court. The chairman of the regents
thoroughly enjoys the game, ant
whenever he and Mr.. Fisher enter {
court large crowd gathers to watcE
the fierce play and laugh at the loud
good-natured squabbling.

natural inclination of the arms, will
elevate the club sufficiently.
This gets back to tide oil drule: Get
your wood club in back of you. The
players main concern should be to
that end, not SO much toward getting
the club up above him.
In Figure is shown what tops
the ball when the club, lifted up in
stead of being swung back, is brought
down TO the ball. Obviously it trav-
els away inside the path it should
follow--the path it will follow if you
force it in behind you--and comes
down on top of the ball, or at best
it so smothers the ball that poor
hit results. Usually the ball so hit
merely hops along the ground for 100
or 200 feet.
In the correct swing, where the
club is swung back behind, the club
head comes back to the ball with a
sweep from in back of it and meets it
squarely and s0lidly. Watch the left
arm in the backswing and make this
arm pull the shoulders around rather
than lift the club upward.

some UTILITY Jobs
FAR FROM S|NECURES

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-To the un.
Initiated the job of utility man on u
big league ball club is about the ulti-
mate IN soft snaps.
Nothing to do but ride around the
country, see ball games, draw the
weekly stipend and have all expenses
paid. Sometimes that's true.
For instance, there's the case of
Mike Gazella. In 1924 Mike was with
the Yankees. He came to the club in
midsummer, played in two ball games
sat. on the bench through the wor!l
series and then drew his salary. plus
5000 rs full share of the winners
funds.
But not all utility men are Mix
Gazellas.
Some of them are like Earl Adams
of the Cubs. for instance. Adams
measuring scant five feet two inches.
y the smallest man In the major
leagues today. And the peppiest. He's
a utility man, but with him the job
is no sinccurc.
When Maranville hurt his les
.tdams hoped in and played second
hen he jumped over and cavortc !
around the short field; In several
games he stood guard at the hot cor
ner, and he even proved his worth as
an outfielder in a pinch.

True. Mr.. Tony Latone is what
they call professional, and the ALI
Americaners are supposed to be anna
tours. l repeat they are supposed TO
be amateurs. There is no supposition
about Mr.. Tony Latone. He is an
out-and out professional, and he plays
football for the do .re-mi.
But | claim the right to name Mr..
Tony Latone on the ground that all
All-Americaners have picked Mr..
Grange, of Illinois, and Mr.. Ncvers,
of California. They are professionals:
There is no doubt about it. And
what's more, Mr.. Grange was picked
by the All-Americaners after he ha.
turned professional. and Mr.. Ncvers
was picked by some after it was gen.
orally understood that he would turn
professional.
My Mr.. Tony Latonc. of Pottsville,
Pa, is therefore, entitled to be picked
by somebody despite his professional
ism, and / think that all who have
seen him play football will agree mat
he is Non-All American timber.
l find that the All-Americaners have
another system in determining their
selections which is us follows:
If n collcger has another year or so
to play football and they are in any
doubt as between him and u fellow
who is through playing. they pick the
latter on the ground that the other
chap can be picked next year.
In the meantime. this chap may be
the victim of some circumstance that
prevents him from showing his real
form the next year, so he never gets
picked.
And there you are.
