Coach at BAYLOR University.

Most basket ball players starting to
learn the game take their eyes off the
ball and try to find" the basket
before they catch the pass This is
over-ea gerness to get the aim. Better
to keep your eyes on the ball until
it actually is in your hands and then
locate the basket. You have a gen
eral idea where it is, anyhow. Catch
the pass, locate the basket. jump and
then shoot.

MACKENZIE.
IN FORM
BY ROSS L. CONKLIN

Roland Mackenzie, the halo OF
the Columbia Country Club, will be
a far different golfing machine in
the national amateur championship
tournament at Baltusrol in Septem-
Der. Take the word of one Freddy
Mcleod, a wise old head at the
ancient and dishonorable Scotch
game for that.
Freddie usually speaks several
mouthfuls whenever he says any
thing. The main trouble is to get
him to talk He is naturally reti-
cent and unless he is in 'home-
made company he is usually more
silent than the proverbial sphynxes.
Therefore, It behooves most OF
us yearlings to hearken and heark-
en- well when Freddie speaks.
"When Roland came home from
the Walker Cup matches, he was
all played out. So was !. We
both needed about a week Of solid
sleeping, but with the open at
hand neither could rest.
'T had promised to play in the
open and I tried to quit after 10
holes. They wouldn't let me, and
went on. Boy, was sick that
afternoon. Roland was just the
same. He had a tired. carewOrn
feeling and he lacked the pep
and fire that he usually has.
'He played the open when he
should have been resting up. and
then he came back here and played
| in several more tournaments and
all the while he should have been
resting. Those Walker Cup matches
and the incessant rounds of enter
tainment had him groggy.
Right now, though, Roland is In
splendid condition. He is well
rested, has fought his way back to
his natural game, and should be at
his best at Baltusrol."
All Of which conforms to what
has been said about Roland for the
| past month. He is game kid, and
he didn't like to withdraw from any
tournaments around these parts for
fear OF disappointing some one. He
| played at Sherwood when his every
action showed that he had a dis
| like for the game. He was sluggish
all the way through.

there was no suitable opposi-
ton and that this commission
and that commission wouldn't
let him fight whom he pleased
or that there were too many
lawyers on his trial and too
many writs hanging over his
personal effects for him to
think of fighting, but if those
boys and girls, if any, are COM
mensurate with the current
crop in intelligence, they will
give their old man a vociferous
razzberry that will have been
equalled only by the shot at
Lexington which was heard
round the world.
Jacks, or William Harrison
Dempsey's, desire to become the

OF course, having no heir at
the moment of either persuasion,
Jack is not in a precise position
to fathom the questions which
will be put to him when such
happy moment arrives that ne
shall have a son and depend
ent. but who can say it is not
the duty of all fathers extant
to warn Mr.. William Harrison
Dempsey of the probable ques-
tionnaire which he must face
should the worst come to the
worst.
It's another thing for Will
liam Harrison Dempsey to dis
count the intelligence of the
current crop of fight fans by
expecting them to swallow his
sentimental gush about desiring
to be the undefeated heavy
weight champion of the world,
but he must understand that his
Junior relatives will want TO
know what makes the moon
come up, who hangs the stars
in the skies every night, why
the beetles sing at evening and
who puts the sandman to bed
after he puts all the little chill
dren to Observation-Disclosures

was doing between 1928 and

lively, of Mr.. T. S. Andrews
1926 edition of his worlds
sporting annual wherein the
records of their father to date
is indited, it will not be a ques-
ton of what became of the
title, but of "what in the ell,
dad were you doing all the time
between the Firpo and Gibbons
things of 1923 until the Tunney
affair of midsummer 1922"
1t Will be with a somewhat
shy and ashamed" look that this
question will be propounded to
the elder Dempsey, because the
cross-questioners will also have
had access in the meantime to
the records of men like John l..
Sullivan, James J. Corbett,
James J. Jeffries and the lads
who fought at the least excuse
The lads who weren't for
ever holding out for someone
to guarantee them an enormous
sum, but who fought for the
sheer love of fighting!
If William Harrison Demp-
sey, therefore, is worrying
about his sons being pointed
to as the kids of ought but
the undefeated heavyweight
champion of the world, he is
giving the generation of that
day little credit for the ordi-
nary alertness which attaches
itself to American youth, for
he will have to answer no
questions about the fight of
1925 until he has accounted
for all his time during the
three previous years.

good twirling the Griffs romped

Crowder held the foe runless for
six innings. Then. having nine-
run lead, he seemed to let up a bit.
and in the last three frames the
visitors banged him for eight ais
and six runs. However, the former
Birmingham star was never in any
