Business used two combinations, both

Capt. Matte Newman, clever little for

from the lineup, as he is employed dur

halfback.
The Red Knight" of West Point has
been one of the most widely publicized
young men of foot ball in the last two
years. Much has been written of his
uncanny ability to elude would-be
tscklers; his brilliant passing from the
dead run, and his all-round Lon
CLANCY maneuverings on the field. In
short. his Far Western audience will
not be surprised today If he changes
into foot ball and makes the winning
touchdown.
A year ago this month Stanford

Tuffy made his first New York APP

dribble If free.
Last year as he neared the foul

for him at an angle from the rear,
said opponent headed to meet him
closer to the basket. Slap, both feet

To Help Pitching
BY SOL METZGER.

Dewey Longworth plays his pitch
shots by pressing his hands forward
as he addresses the ball. This
causes the shaft to slant upward and
forward from the ground toward the
green he is approaching. The result
is that the ball is met by the club
head as it Is descending. II must be
struck or punched crisply in order to
force the clubhead through the turf
after contact.
The idea uppermost in playing a
pitch in this manner, rather than to

there is an atmosphere of restful.

softly tinted walls which blend har.

the room.
