~ TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf,
December 23.-The Army's grid
iron warriors, with O retinue $50
~ strong, were in Stanford today,
ready to open a period of inten-
sive training for their battle New Year
day with Stanford University.
A special train of IS cars on which
the Cadets crossed the continent, ar
rived here shortly before midnight, 8
hours behind schedule. Several hun
dred Stanford students greeted the Wis
itors, and Coach Glenn Warner was on
hand to see that they were given the
welcome of friendly enemies.
The entire West Point delegation was
taken Immediately to Banner Hall, on
the campus, which has been prepared
for its exclusive use until after the
holidays.
Heinecke Is III.
A stiff workout, composed mostly of
track work and signal practice, to take
the kinks out Of train weary backs and
legs, was planned for today by Coach
Lawrence "Biff" Jones of the Army. For
the rest of the week, Jones said his
charges will demand privacy while they
perfect their strategy for the New Year
day classic.
Coach Warmers Cardinals will pursue
the same routine. A varsity team COM
posed Of the same men that started
against California, with one exception,
has been practicing a defense against
the Army passing attack for several
days. The lone exception is Percy Tay-
lor, who replaced Walt Heinecke at
center. Heinecke is In hospital with
cold, but is expected to play Saturday.

N YEW YORK, December 23.-That
~ two-practice-a-day plan which
BiR Jones will apply to his
4 Y Army foot ball team at Palo
Alto, beginning today, will be
more feasible there than 1t would be.
say, at Los Angeles, where 1t wouldn't
be at all feasible.
They are Just on the edge Of the rainy
season In Santa Clara County, where
there Is probably the most delightful
climate In the world. The rain may
hold of so as not to bother the Cadets,
and then again 1t may not. II the
dreamy, delectable conditions Of the
late Spring and Summer and Fall con-
tinue this week the Army foot ballers
will indeed be in luck.
They will need all the fine weather
they can get, for their migration thus
far has been attended by great dis
appointment. That Middle Western
blizzard, causing the train to fall some
IL hours behind schedule, could not
have come at q worse time, so far as
the West Point cause was concerned.
Train stiffness and mental flag develop
on q transcontinental tour and when
delays occur these conditions are griev-
ously accentuated.
Throughout the journey the Cadets
had just two opportunities for practice
and one Of these afforded the players
mere leg stretching.
Two practices sessions daily at Pale
Alto may not work out too well, since
foot ball Is rigorous game and too
much Of 1t Is hardly better than none
at all. So 1t remains a very great
problem just what will be the condition
OF the Army men when they are called
upon to face Stanford next Saturday.
Frankly, the writer is inclined to
pessimism. On the other hand, every
thing may work out all right and the
day Of the game may see West Point
very much on her toes and itching for
action. The temperature, at least, rain
or shine. viii show none Of that ardency
which might be expected to the SOUTH
ward, and this win help Q lot.

of Cornell's play is here shown.
No / is free and takes q crack at
the basket. He's forward. AS the
ball leaves his hand the other for
ward, No. 8, drives in with him for
the rebound. Note that No. 2, usu-
ally the center, lays back near the
foul line. Why DOESN'T he rush in,
tee?
It's like this: If either No. / or
No 3 get the rebound, they are in
too tight a situation to have an
other shot because of the press OF
opponents. So they shoot the bali
back to No. 2. No. 2 is the man
who acts as the relay point for re-
coveries. When he gets the ball,
another attack is launched for a
closeup shot. Or No. himself, II
not covered, takes shot from the
foul-line.

All MANAGED II easily. enough.

AL managed 1t easily. enough.
The trick, he explained, was to
"cock" the wrists so the head Of the
club was pointing as straight UP as
possible.
otherwise, the head Of the club
hits the ground before you can
bring the end of the shaft against
the ball, and that bounces the shaft
upward and over the ball." said AL.
You are supposed, Of course, to
keep your knees as nearly unbent
as possible, and to strike the ball
fairly with the end of the shaft in
the direction in which you would
putt it II using the club in the usual
manner.
Al had a lot Of celebrated pros
trying the little stunt at Winged
Foot, but I didn't see anybody do
It at the first attempt.

OF course the spin is impaired by the
blade. But it cannot be so impaired
unless you play the shot with crisp
ness.
This is one reason why you do not
overswing to play an iron. If you
did you would hit the ball forward as
in driving. The idea is to hit it
crisply from shorter backswing. In
short. to cut the legs out from under
it. Roger Wethered, former British
amateur champion, is an expert at
imparting stop even In short pitches.
To secure 1t he hits through crisply
and forces the clubhead to follow
through after the ball.
The pivot is the least understood
phase in golf instruction. Sol Metz
ger has prepared a leafiet on the

It looks to the spectator as though
every missed basket results in a

reality nothing like that occurs when
two well trained teams meet in baS-
ket ball. We have seen how the
defense attempts to get the ball
when a missed shot occurs and how

tense to attack. At the same time
