With only the Huskies and then STAN

He was assured of plenty opposition
as Washington, although losing in its
last two games, had the added incentive
of meeting a traditional foe on home
coming day. Rainy weather threatened
to handicap the teams.

CHICAGO, November 10.-Whatever
the outcome of today's foot ball game
between the Universities of Chicago and
Wisconsin, the railway receipts from
the student-alumni exodus to Madison,
Wis, are not what they should be.
Three robbers last night ransacked
the safe of the Chicago g. Northwest

proceeds from the sale of hundreds of
student and alumni tickets to Madison
were included in the loot.
Ordinarily there would be from $4,000
to $4,000 in the safe from days ticket

Ernest H. Waterstreet, chief clerk,

PLENTY OF THRILLS SURE
In GRID CONTESTS TO-DAY

Dame has lost two games. which is sew
eral for a Rockne-d drilled out to lose.
Army must travel at double time to
win.
The game at Columbus should be a
stirring affair. There Ohio State will
dispute the championship of the Middle
West with Iowa. When those little two
ton centers, Barrett and Cupid Brown,
face each other the collision should be
worth writing home about. That Ohio
flash, Eby, will have plenty to do to
outshine such Iowa backs as Armll,
Pape and McLain.
The NaYy-Michigan engagement, at
Baltimore, is always highly colorful
game. This year the contestants look
so evenly matched it should be a thrill
ing contest Both teams got bad
start, but both have improved steadily
and now seem to be travelling full speed
ahead Winning this game means a lot
to each.
Georgetown and Carnegie are battling
to see which remains unbeaten. George
town supporters say that against New
York University the eleven was not able
to show its powerful attack, the f1eId
having been wet and slow. Lou Little s
pupils offense depends largely on speed.
If Georgetown gets dry field today, 1t
feels its backs will be able to take ad-
vantage of it. But Carnegie is strong
eleven with good line and a great
quarterback.
The South is rightfully excited over
the Georgia h-Vanderbilt game. Here
is another contest which every real foot
ball fan would give a lot to watch. 1t
is another in which two unbeaten teams
meet. Each team has brilliant backs,
and each has a flaming desire to win.
This should be a great game.
There is no section of this country
today where the fans cannot get plenty
of excitement for their money. Good
foot ball games are as plentiful as rocks
in Vermont.

TOUCHDOWN GOALS
BECOMING SCARCE
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

In tabulating the number Of goals
kicked following touchdowns in Sat
urdays important games the writer
checked down 16 failures and 2 sue
cesstul attempts. Then he stopped.
The emotions engendered by a showing
so paltry was not conducive to safe
blood pressure.
Primarily, of course, the point after
touchdown should be eliminated from
the playing code 1t is not fair rule,
nor a sportsmanlike rule; all 1t really
does is to pay off debts. tie following
a finely played, gamely waged contest
is not so unsatisfactory as the rules
committee would have us think.
If Princeton had won that Ohio game
through O successful try for point, or
If on the other hand Ohio had won
1t, there would have been bitter taste
In the mouth OF all unbiased spectators.
AS the game was played 1t should have
been tie and nothing else.
Evidently there are two reasons Toy
the failure to place kick goals The
first is mental, the second physical.
And both are related Players are in
timidated by the fact that the goal post
are set 10 yards back of the goal line
They have a mental hazard which seems
to bother them frightfully. And then
the greater distance over WHICH tne
ball has to be booted lessons the chanceF
of success.
A drop-kick sent for the goal by an
! expert drop-kicker is surer than a
/ place-kick If only because the man
holding the ball for a place-try, as well
as the kicker, has his part to play.
But because of the moving back OF
| the goal posts, the art of drop-kicking
| is dying. has in fact practically
| perished. Why the writer can remem-
| ber a Princeton team--it was the 1922
| eleven--which had six sure-shot drop
| kickerS in its flrst-string lineup. And
one of them was a guard, another a
| tackle.
The goal posts should come back to
| the line, or at least the crossbar should
be over the goal line. And the point
after touchdown should be kicked out
of the game.

BY SOL METZGER.

Jack White, who putted his way
to a British open championship and
who now makes golf clubs, made a
thorough study of putting in his
youth. Resolved on mastering this
stroke. after several unfortunate
appearances in title events, Jack
devoted a long time to analyzing it
and to practicing.
He came to several conclusions in
addition to pointing the back of the
left hand toward the hole, of taking
the club back with the left and
stroking through with the right.
One was that for short puts one
must crouch more over the ball than
for approach puts. Such a stance
permitted more certain sighting.
one point that stands to reason
which White advocates is for one to
select a putter with a blade long
enough so he can be certain its face
is at right angles to the hole when
addressing the ball. A stubby put
ter will not permit this unless ones
sight is quite keen.
But the main discovery of Whites
that resulted in his stroking such a
smooth putJ was the bending for
ward OF the WrlStS DelOIe SCIOhHlS
the ball. In other words. he found
that when his hands led at contact
the ball followed a smooth and even
course. This wrist press really re-
suits in overspinning the ball bit,
which is what good putters aim
to do.
To cure habit of slicing you must
first learn the cause. Sol MetZger'S
Ieaflet on "SIicing" takes up in de-
tail the causes. Send stamped, ad-
dressed envelope to Sol Metzger. care
