MAY RESIGNS POST
 WITH PAWNEE TEAM
Claims That Players Failed to Co., operate With Him-ToO Many
 Bosses on Eleven

Billy" May has resigned his po- sition as manager of the Pawnee football team. He claims that he was given poor cooperation at prac- tice and during the games by the players. MT. May was also disap- pointed in the physical condition of the players for the game on Sun day.
 Due to the fact that Uncle" Con- ley, coach of the team. could not follow the eleven on Sundays be- cause of his connection with the New Britain aggregation, everybody has tried to run the team with the result that no progress was made ill the right direction, May says.
 According to Mir May, he was dis gusted with the way things were going, so he decided the best thing for him to do was to leave the team. The Pawnees are looking around for a new manager.

Harvard Coach Pays Tribute

Even the vanquished joined in praised of Bromberg. 'Eskie' Clark, line coach of the Harvard team, took occasion after the game to stress the fact that Marsters was not the whole Dartmouth team. He said that Booma, Andres, Sutton, Wolff and DrombCrg were "plenty good enough for any ball club ; Bromberg is the only lineman in this quintet, the others mentioned being ends and backs.
 Clark went on to tell about the play on which the former New Brit ain high school player scored: "Bromberg, the Dartmouth guard, who has stood out all season for his interfering work on offense. got his reward by breaking through the right side of the Harvard line and going right up the alley to block Joe Potter's kick and run for the third Dartmouth score. The kick was good in every respect, but Bromberg was too good for his op- ponents and deserved that score. He is a great lineman.
 Which, coming from late "eno- my" is real praise.
 Bromberg's work impressed all | the newspaper men covering the game, and one Boston paper yester- day had a cartoon captioned "Brom berg gave the Harvard backs a couple of big hands and show ing him tacklinG an opponent SC hard that the unfortunate fellow is moved to eXclaim: Stew late ter make me will.'
 Must Stop Booth
 Dartmouth will appear in tho Yale Bowl this Saturday, and Brom, berg will face stern opposition from the Yale line which hammered holes through the Army this past week In fact, the New Britain youth vii have a chance to match his tack. 1 ling ability with the elusiveness o Albie Booth, great Yale back, fol Booths charging drives are usually directed through the left side of tho opposing line. It will be d great tes for Bromberg, and hundreds of New
 Britain fans will be present in thu bowl and pulling for him to conn
 through this test with as much glor.
 as he won against Harvard.

VILLA FAVORITE ID BEAT CHRISTY
Bristol Boy Slated to Meet More Experienced Batder

Hartford, April 24-Pancho Villa of New Bedford is picked to defeat Nick Christy of Bristol in the star bout at the Foot Guard armory to- morrow night, but the rugged and aggressive Christy is expected 10 give his more-experienced Bay State opponent a real battle. Villa has never been seen in these parts and this prediction that he will best the Bristol sensation is based solely on what the writer knows of the New Bedford boy, Some time ago he defeated the veteran Chick" Suggs. one of the clevcre st boys the featherWeight lewiston has known and he has defeated several other featherwcights with good rec ords.
 Christy has beaten every boy he has faced i'll the professional ranks; 14 times he has answered the bell and IA times he has been returned a winner, with most of his victories carrying the impressive trade mark of knockout But he is virtually a newcomer in the rough and rugged business of professional boxing and he has lot to learn.
 He is fast, aggressive, game and stiff puncher, but he is not. as yet. skilltul boxer. He beats down his opponents by relentless attack and he is punching away every minute but he is inclined to wildness and Villa, good boxer should outpoint him.
 However. there is always the chance that a hard and persist ent puncher like Christy may land a kayo punch on a more experienced and cleverer opponent such as Villa But the writer does not expect 10 see it-Villa should be the victor
 The rest of the card is attracting almost as much attention as the star bout
 There is a novelty in the double semi-tinal. In one bout, Frankie Bush fights Johnny Curcio. the for mer of Manchester. the latter of Boston; in the other, Frankie kon- china of New York battles Eddie Ellie of Springfield. Both these bouts are eight rounders.
 Joe Zotter, who has won ten of his last l2 bouts, meets he best boy he has yet taken on in Mickey Fla hive of Atlanta. Sundulfo Diaz of New York boxes Jimmy pcfcar'ii of Boston in the four-round opener.

BY VERNE WILkHAM | One of the most disa greeab,e
 golfers to play with is one who Is always back handing his short puts
 into the cup.
 He takes everything within three
 feet, but generally h. won't give you three-inch putt His fayorite trick is 10 back hand a three-foot putt carelessly toward the cup. If ! 1t, he says-"You fellows would
 give it to me anyway, so I'll take it."
 In match play competition il IS
 good form 10 putt out all puts.
 In medal play it must be done. If you start giving q competitor
 short butts early in the match
 and then toward the end when the
 score is close you make him hoe
 a short putt, he brands you as q poor sport. In reality, you shouIi
 have been making him putt them all out. Don't give puts. Cham pionships have been won and lost through missed 1S-inch putts. Putt
 them all out.
 In medal play. you can bc dis
 qualified by giving yourself a two inch putt.
 Another bad habit in ordinary
 play is putting your hand in tn" cup and knocking the bali into /.
 In competition medal play there Is a two-stroke penalty for doing just that.
 If tennis ball just missed go-
 ing over the net; if q baseball Were
 just two inches out of the foul lin., if the sprinters were almost even at the finish-hoW foolish it Wo1i,1
 be if the same practic" Were used
 in other sports. A hole is nfv'r
 completed properly unless the ball
 is strokei into the cup.
