BOYS CLUB

Then the game starts. The object
of each boy is to unbalance the other.
Force the other fellow to move his
feet or fall.
After a spirited bout of pulling with
the right hands reverse the positions,
with left feet forward instead of right,
and lefts clasping instead of rights.
The object is the same in this exer-
else.
In addition, in the second exercise,
where left hands clasp, try using the
right hand on the chest or shoulder of
your opponent instead of keeping 1t
behind the back. Make false motions
TO puzzle him and then suddenly pull
him off balance.
Another method teaches the ability
to push your opponent backward and
keep him off balance. Left foot for.
wardy left hand on opponents neck.
Right hand wherever it can be used
to best advantage. Feet wide apart
Lean forward throwing weight on OPP
ponent. Then force him backward.
Keep feet apart to maintain own bal
ance. Never cross them.
These exercises develop your
strength and are the first lessons to
learn in wrestling.

If it does not do so.

wins in as many starts and western
is just one game behind with three
victories against one defeat

the start of second-round play. Bust

Western tossers yesterday est9h-
lished themselves as Centrals sterneSt
foe for the crown when the boys from
Georgetown registered decisive VIC
tory over Coach Jack Collins Bust
ness entry. The tossers in Red, eX-
pected to encounter in Business
strong foe, showed marked superior
ity over the Stenographers from the
outset. At the end of the opening
quarter Western held a l5-to.2 ad-
vantage as the result of n relentless
bombardment on the Business basket
and a defense that the StenOgra piers
found well-nigh impregnable. Dan
Ahern'S protegeS maintained their
fast pace all the way, with Business
never in the running.
All of Westerns players showed
true eye in caging the leather from
the floor and fast and clever team
work 1t was a much more polished
Western combination than that of
earlier series games.
Bob Wilson, Woodworking guard,
was the ace of the Red team. In adj
dition to playing a bang-up floor
game, he found the cords seven times
from scrimmage. Capt. Charley
Qeewee) Walker, Sam Coombs, Alton
Buscher and Don CARRIER also showed
sturdily for the victors.
Revelle Jones, rugged forward, and
Charley May, at guard, were Bust
ness most consistent performers.
Tech today is eliminated definitely
from championship consideration as
the result of losing to Eastern yester-
day in a game that was stubbornly
contested all the way. Neither five
ever held q lead of more than few
points. Led by Capt. Cy Hogarth,
who played his usual brilliant game,
the Light Blue and White finally wore
down the game Manual Trainers in
the last moments. Return of Louis
(Besiel Berger to the Tech lineup
helped the Maroon and Gray cause
measurably, and this clever boy, play
ing forward instead of center, not only
kept the Manual Trainers in the run
ming with his basket sniping, but gave
stalwart defensive exhibition. Ber-
ger was ably supported by Weigel,
Capt. Terneak and Galotta.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Miss

the only athlete who appeared as

1t was not until the golf asso-
citation had ruled against her as an
amateur player that she consented
to do any active work in reporting
golf or tennis, although she had
been contributing articles. on sports
to magazines.
Miss Browne is one of the most
