was all year with the first string at
work.
One of the Best.
THIS MISREPRESENTATION California
i meeting should bring about one
of the best contests of the season, dat
ing back to last October. Southern
California and Notre Dame finished
only point apart. Pittsburgh is better
equipped with reserves than Carnegie
Tech was, and reserves are needed when
Howard Jones begins to feed in his extra
men. who are just about as good as his
regulars.
Neither team will have any advan-
tage in this respect. Sutherland has
Clarke and other fast backs ready to
replace any tired athlete on a warm
day, and he also has two or three high
class line reserves. although none of
them can match Montgomery and Dr.
moleo. If this pair happen to play
up to form the West Coast will look at
two of the best guards in foot ball, on
par with the PoSt-Robesky combina-
ton Stanford sent into action q year
ago.
West Coast fans have been hearing
about DocheSS, the Panther end, for
three years. Naturally they want to
see how he compares with Tappan, the
Trojan star, who was also picked on
many teams.
They want to see how Saunders
compares with Uansa, the fast,
elusive Panther back who ran his
way into eight touchdowns on gall
lops over so yards.
They also want to get line on
Montgomery, as compared to Bar
RACER, an early season star, who
slumped and then came back to his
top form.
There will be enough all-star COM
parsons to keep comment buzzing for
some time. But lot of things can
happen in one foot ball game that might
not happen week later. as the breaks
must play big part when two such
we'll matched teams happen to bump
head on in the same corral.
So far as combined weight, speed and
power go, no one field has shown more
to date than the Pasadena field will
SHOW on Wednesday. But you can gam
bic that it will take a lot of foot ball to
beat the Pittsburgh team of 1929.
First call for arnica to apply to
crooked resolutions for 1880.
About 100000 golfers should resolve
to throw away their old swings and try
new set of calisthenics for 1880
They know any change could not be
for the worse.
Horton Smith seems to have his tour
nament game grooved around 280 for
70 holes. Which is eight under even
As. Which also is too swift for most
Of the boys to follow without getting
dizzy down the stretch.
Nineteen twenty-nine's bid for histor-
ical fame is that it refused to bring out
any heavyweight champion to act as q
bulwark against lettering civilization.
Now the world knows that great TRACE
dies can take place without speeding up
the decline of the race.

witnesses of Harrison'S feat who
can speak with authority say it
is doubtful If a more brilliant ex-
hibition of duckpin bowling ever
was given. His accuracy and not
breaks due to peculiar alleys, they
say, was responsible for his heavy
pinfall. But if the alleys were
not regulation this would be all
forgotten in the future and Har-
riSon's marks, If accepted, would
ever be under a cloud.
A year or two ago Ray Won Dreele of
Baltimore rolled 756 for five games In
a doubles match, a score AZ pins better
than Harrison'S, yet Won Dreele's mark

quite aware that Won Dreele doesn't
foul once in hundreds Of matches, and
refused to accept his score, even with
af1davitS by witnesses that he didn't
foul on this occasion.
It was hard medicine for Won Dreele
and for the congress authorities, yet
they took 1t, and the reaction was
healthy.

George ISemann, secretary of the

records.

Farrell Mastered Iron Play
By Controlling Wrist Roll

AS matter of fact it was my greatest
handicap.
When I learned the cause of my
trouble. set about correcting it, did
this by taking the club back with a
rigid left arm, and not allowing my
hands to go any farther than on a
level with the right shoulder. This
eliminated the wrist roll and gave me
more Of a hit and less of sweep
stroke 1t also gave me the feeling
that the club was under control at all
times-a most necessary factor.
1t took hours of practice to eliminate
my bad habit. When you get used to
doing thing it's hard to break away
from it, and when it's a bad habit it's
even harder.
1 worked hard at correcting that
fault. For dozen strokes I'd keep
that wrist roll away, and then when
let my concentration diminish I found
myself doing 1t again. But the proper
sort of practice will correct anything.
Soon I found myself hitting the ball
properly without consciously thinking
of it. and then I knew I had won the
battle.
You can't afford to get discouraged.
1t takes a lot of sticktoitivenesS to be-
!. ONE a good golfer. Every one develops
aults. Even the greatest players make
Dad shots at times. Truly, golf Is an
'umblin' game, but the troubles that
crop up can be corrected by intelligent
diagnosis and hard work.
II you are having dif1lculty with your
iron shots see II the cause isn't the
same that bothered me. Try keeping
the hands no higher than the right
shoulders at the top of the swing, and
with the left arm straight. I'm con-
WINGED you'll get better control and n
crisper shot by doing this just as I
did.

| with greater effect with round than
with square cutters.
The Washington bowlers we're well
| pleased with their treatment by the
Hartford fans. and particularly with
the ovation given Harrison after his
1877 game. This was the winning punch
in the team match, but Ollie Pacinis
pinch bowling at the finish, when VIC
tory was in doubt, called for a share of
laurel. Ollie got fat spare in each
of the last three frames. Up to that
point he had been struggling.
The Hartford drives are older, and
therefore probably inferior to those on
which the Washington games will be
rolled-the teams and doubles at the
Coliseum and the singles at the Lucky
Strike. StrangenesS of the alleys. how
ever, was not much, If any, handicap
to the Washington bowlers, because the
drives were strange, too, to several OF
the New Englanders.
Howard Campbell in the singles was
hampered by loose board. It was on
the spot where he drops his ball regu-
larly, and he was forced to loft over 1t.
An effort was made to nail it tight,
but 1t persisted in protruding.
Next Saturdays games will draw the
seasons record crowds, no doubt, with
the singles at the Lucky Strike at $3.50

at 6 o'clock, with the team match i'm
mediately following.
Tourney Resumed Thursday.
Bowlers in The Washington Stars
| tournament at Convention Hall seem
to approve unanimously the scheduling
of two to an alley instead of five, as last
year. According to Arville Ebersole,
secretary Of the Washington City Duck
pin Association, who assisted in hand
ling the 1928 tournament, there are
fewer scratches in the current event,
which will be resumed Thursday night.
The second half of the field will go
to post hopefully. There are 20 prizes
for men, and thus far only six sets in
the 500 class have been rolled There
are 10 prizes In the womens section,
and only four sets better than 300 have
been made.
1t is safe wager that Tony De Fino's
632 won't stand up for first place, al
though powerful score. Last year the
winning total was 654. Tony's would
have got him second place
BeSs Ackman has probably q better
chance to win in the women's class.

Rena Levy. The girls have 282 to beat
to get within the prize list.

~ people have said repeatedly this
n last season that Pittsburgh had
much stronger team than
even the scores showed, and most of
the scores were decisive enough.
The point has been made that Pitts
burgh won most of its games quickly
and then rushed in reserves without
attempting to show full strength for
more than 20 or Is minutes an after
noon.
No other single team had as many
men mentioned on various all-America
selections, the list including Donchess
at end, Uansa at halfback, Parkinson
at fullback and Montgomery and DIM
oleo at guards.
Pittsburgh now has its chance to
prove its full strength, for Southern
California is as stout test as any
team could ask to meet, especially so
with better climatic conditions for the
training needed to get shaped up for
the Eastern invasion
Pittsburgh hasn't played a game
since Thanksgiving day and has had
little decent weather in which to
work out doors. Southern California
had hard game with Carnegie
Tech in December and is now all
set with at least two first-class
teams.
Southern California has a big, fast
line, two fine ends and a flock of
star backs, headed by Saunders, Duff
field and Musick.
And Southern California is naturally
anxious enough to put a few of Pitts
an-America entries back in line.
Timing is big part of foot ball, and
1t remains to be seen how Pittsburgh
can hold her timing after more than a
months inaction in actual play. Pitts
burgh'S timing on attack was a big
part OF her seasons success, and it may
be that so many veterans can still carry
out the old order. If they can, Pitts
burgh should win, for there have been
few foot ball teams as strong Extensively
and defenSively combined as Pittsburgh
