SAN FRANCISCO. October s.
There was bound to be trouble con
cerning officiating as a result Of the
changes in the foot ball rules. But
the writer has encountered more com
plants upon the Pacific Coast than
elsewhere.
1t appears. for example that out
here some officials have the habit of
penalizing violation Of the shift rule
by imposing the five.yard penalty for
man In motion before the ball Is
snapped. The penalty for failure to
pause full second in the shift is Is
yards.
The writer gets the idea that the
officials on the West Coast think that
the 15-yard penalty is too drastic and
therefore use the flve-yard penalty
which by liberal Interpretation of
the rules they may do. But inasmuch
as the pause In the shift Is very i'm
pyrtant 1t would seem that officials
who are lenient in this respect should
be made to impose the full penalty

| especially IL ln0 CLId1IIPIou Ao
| i professional and In some line
of sport which makes it pos.
sible for him to earn sufficient money
to live in comfort and more or less
luxury.
| Virtually every professional athlete
has nothing in the way of worldly
goods when he starts his climb. He
has been brought up without much
comfort and no luxury. and has lived
a simple life.
After a man has become champion
the scene changes. He has more
money than he ever expected, an un'
limited number Of friends and admir-.
ers, all eager to entertain him and
keen him up late at night. He eats
richer foods, sleeps in softer BEDS
and attends late parties.
Unlike the amateurs, who Tor the
most part have business to attend TO
and must be up and about their work,
the professional athlete has little TO
do but play his game, and he mas
much time on his hands and plenty OK
money to spend.
These circumstances cause the cham
pion to soften. Long before the first
Dempsey.Tunney fight ! predicted
Tunney would win because he was on
his way up the ladder, was hard as
nails and thinking Of nothing but get.
ting that championship. l saw a good
deal of Tunney in Florida the WINTER
before he fought Dempsey. and !
realized he was doing everything 10
get himself in condition.
Dempsey, on the other hand, had
been champion a number of years.
He had completely changed his mode
of living. In the old days Jack lived
a rough and tumble life, and was
"tourh" customer. But for some time
before the first Tunney fight he had
been softening. He may not have
realized this himself, but no man can
live in ease over a period OF time ana
fail to soften.
Effects of Easy Living.
A champions associations all tend
to take the toughness out OF him, ana
no matter how hard he trains he can
not entirely eliminate the effects,
physical and mental. of the years OF
easy living. Where before he looked
upon life as a struggle. his viewpoint
changes, and no matter how many
medicine balls he tosses about. or
how many times he works out in the
gymnasium, he is a different man,
and not so good.
So it takes a remarkable person
to lay aside the fruits of victory and
to continue along the same road he
followed on his way UP. Another
thing that counts is that the old in.
centive is not there. After six trips
to the British Isles to compete in the
British open golf championship, do
not feel the same thrill and the same
keenness I did the first time / stood
on the sand dunes at Deal, on the
Kentish coast of England, as a start
er in the championship. may try
to kid myself into thinking I am as
keen, but am not.
doubt very much if Jack Dempsey
can ever feel again as he did in Toledo
when he stepped into the ring with
Jess Willard with the heavyweight

championship at stake. / doubt very
much If Gertrude Ederle could ever
again get herself into that frame of
mind which enabled her to muster IN
the courage to be the first woman to
swim the English Channel.
The deductions I have made apply
much more to those forms of sport
which call as much upon the athlete g
mental stamina and keenness as upon
his skill. Willie Hoppe ruled the roost
IN balkline billiards for years because
he had such overwhelming skill he
outclassed the field.
At one hundred holes Of medal.play
golf, Glenna Collett would beat the
woman players Of American by manv
strokes, but in an 18-hole match play
game. other women have a chance to
peat her. The same holds true with
Bobby Jones. This was demonstrated
at Mlnnikahda in the recent amateur
championship when Maurice McCar.
thy. .jr.. had Bobby down and holes
to play.
Mental keenness Essential.
So for an athlete to come back he
must have all his old skill and pbvs.
ical stamina, which is asking a lot.
ana ne also must have the same men.
tai keenness, which is asking even
more. D.. .
w. o. Mcclellan says foot bal,
players live only once in the land
OF illusion" and that that period ia
when they are playing intercollegiate
foot ball. DIR. Spears, coach of Min.
nesota. declares this theory is all
wrong, and that men will work harder
FOR money than for anything else. but
as a professional athlete am inclined
to agree with Mcclellan.
All athletes, amateurs as we'll az
professionals, must live in the "lan !
or illusion" to be at their best. When
an athlete is striving for the heavy.
weight championship or for the Brit.
ish open golf championship or for =
cross Channel swim, he must have
some inspiration other than a purely
financial interest.
l have found in years of. comreti.
ton that 1t never took any strokes Off
my game to concentrate on the cash
a certain victory might net me. but
that In the heat of conflict a deter.
mination to beat the opposition counts
not only more than the cash prize at
stake, but sometimes more than such
skill as may possess.
