Leader Of Big Ten Is Striving
To Settle Track Sport Status

the writer knows the majors letter to
Ferris under date of February 8, which
is really a QUESTIONABLE designed to
get the A. A. u. officer on record as to
the precise claims of his organization
as supreme governing body over
amateur athletics In the United States,
is the only development In the situation
thus far.
y Whatever eventually happens. track
authorities In various parts OF the United
States do most fervently wish that the
three bodies who conduct track athletics
In this country would SO far bury their
differences as to agree upon a set OF
uniform rules governing the conduct OF
track meets.
=. AS conditions now exist there are
three sets Of track rules, one set
recognized by the National Collegiate
Association. another by the A. A. u,
and still another by the I. G. A. A. A. A.
This means that in meets where
representatives OF these bodies compete
affairs go at cross purposes. argument
arises and coaches and athletes are at
loss. For example, under the A. A. u.
rule there Is a penalty for a man who
starts ahead of the gun. In the
", e, A. A. there Is a penalty only If
the starter withholds his shot. And
so 1t goes. And there are variations
In the order of events. One would
think that discrepancies such as these
could be adjusted easily and simply.
with no less Of prestige or authority
on one side or the other.
One pleasing note I'm Maj. Grifith's
letter to Ferris Is his desire to make 1t
clear that differences of opinion regard
ing certain questions relating to ath-
letic administration may not logically
be construed as personal differences.
While Maj. Griff1th thinks it is emf
nently desirable to conduct debate
regarding the amateur athletic situation
in this country, he can, on his part at
least, see no good reason why any
thing In the nature OF personalities
should enter.
If the A. A. u. feels the same way
and 1t Is understood assurances as to
this are not yet in hand--it might well
be that Maj. Grifiith's initiative will be
attended by excellent results, results
beneficial to tracks, throughout the
country.

the federation's campaign to do away

Two-thirds Of the principals expressed
their disapproval Of interstate tourha-

tournaments has increased to such an
extent as to constitute a menace to. the
educational system, and that there is
little justification for interstate and
intersectional tournaments which in

BY SOL METzGER.

We will soon find that President
Hoover differs from his immediate
predecessor In method. In golf a
like difference Is noted in the means
used by various players to gain Ger
tain ends. There Is as vide differ
ence in the way each player drives
and puts as there is In the sketches
showing wild Bill Mehlhorn at
the top for his drive and Miss Joyce
Wethered at the end of her back
swing for her putt.
Obviously. there is a marked diff
ference in the position of each play
er for these shots. One should rec
ognize them, simple as they are, to
play correctly. Here We can see two
great players set to play the two ex-
IRENE shots of golf-the drive and
the putt.
Mehlhorn has made his extreme
pivot in order to get his full weight
and swinging strength into the
drive. But note that his balance is
perfect and there is no tenseness in
his position. Only thus can he gain
distance without sacrifice OF direc-
ton. which is paramount.
Miss Wethered is perfectly bal
anced and at ease. No pivot. The
point OF similarity is that in each
case ease and balance predominant.
