It was learned today that some
transaction may be expected any
time now.
The identity of the player, or
players. sought by Washington
could not be determined this
morning. But, it was obvious,
some trade was hanging fire.
The above non-draft loops, it Is
understood, will be unable to talk
business with the majors after
December /, that is unless they
capitulate at the Montreal meet
ing, beginning Dec. 8. Originally
these leagues, particularly those
Of Glass AA ranking, refused to
accept the draft in any form.
After trying their own pol
icy a year the nOn-draft or
ganizatiOns, unable to get
along without the support Of
their big brothers, agreed to
the limited draft.
Recently the leagues mentioned
once more turned thumbs down
on the draft in any form. Even
though the majors boosted their
rate from $4,000 to $500.
AS it stands the five circuits
apparently believe that the big
leagues are bluffing. According
to those in the know such is
not the case.
Either these leagues must
accept the major draft stand
ard or do without their sup
port altogether. Which means
that their players will remain
in virtual bondage - since
they would not be subject to
promotion in the annual
shuttle.
Players and magnates alike
save those of the opposite classltl-
cation-are pulling whole heart
edly for the unlimited adoption
of the draft. They realize TOO
well it's all around benefits to
pass it up casually.
President Joe Engel OF the
Chattanooga Club, and his new
manager, Bert Niehoff, were Wis
itors during brief stop-oVer here

Marjorie Bradt Smith is head

nearest rival, with Margaret Milt-

Pauline Ford and Bess Hoffman

behind Mrs. Miltner. Bess Hoff-
man surprised the spectators by
pounding the pins for 141 in her

Another surprise was Lorraine

In Amusement, the bidding went higher and
higher. Finally Don Harker got the box for
&210, and a ripple of excitement ran around the
room. Everybody was wondering whose box
1t was.
A few minutes later the last box was sold
and all eyes were on Don as he paid for his
purchase and looked around for its owner. sim
almost in q daze, Dorothy walked up to him.
You got my box. DON" she said in a shalxy
voice. 1T looks pretty bad I'm sorry"
Sure got it, said Don with grin. leading
her to a couple Of chairs IN a corner. I'm not
50 dnmbl And what do we care how it looks?
I'm interested in the contents"
And when they opened the box, his interest
was justified, for the fan had done little damage
TO the food. Thus began the most pleasant
evening that Dorothy had ever experienced.
The party was a huge success, and the mere
her made her the most popular girl in the room.
She was still bewildered with happiness when
they started home in Dons car.
Il had a simply wonderful time" she said to
him they stood on the porch. 1T certainly
was lucky chance that you got my box"
Don laughed. You mean it was q lucky
chance that happened 10 know which was
yours" he replied. you see, was around be-
hind the car tonight when you passed it going
IN, and saw you stumble and drop your box.
So just watched for one with mud on it."
Dorothy was amazed "Ohl" she cried Then
she made confession. "And ali the time
thought you got mine by mistake, thinking it
was Faes"
Don made q little motion Of his hand. IT
knew what was doing" he said. "And to show
you I didn't want your box just because YOU
are gooc cook. would you like to go to the
senior class dance with me next month";"
Dorothy hesitated, her eyes shining I'D

in many contests kicking Is a very impor-

Many game has been won by good punting,

For the kickoff the ball should be placed on

toward the opponents goal. player holds the
ball by placing his forefinger lightly on the tip.
Maximum distance is gained by hitting the bali
with the toe about inches from the ground,
the kicker's leg and ankle being rather rigid.
lower and faster ball can be obtained by tit
ing the BAN forward, higher and slower kick,
by fitting 1t backward and kicking it close to

the end Of the first half when time does not
permit the scoring Of a touchdown, and near
the end Of the game when team is behind, or
in Tie score and time is very limited.
TO execute drop-kick. the kicker holds the
BAH lightly Ia the tips of the fingers and as
close to the ground as is conveniently possible.
The bali should strike the ground in a vertical
position I'm front Of the right foot, and maxi
mum distance is obtained by kicking the bah
just below the center as it strikes the ground.
Because speed Is important the kicker should
take only two short steps before kicking; short
right and . normal left step viii give him an
easy, rhythmical swing. The leg should swing
Tree from the hip, and the toe should follow the
bali until the leg is parallel with the ground.
The great toe should be placed against the roof
Of the shoe, for the foot should be perpendicu-
lar to the leg at the moment of impact. Sti1,
solid shoes give added distance
And here IS very important point: The
kicker must keep his mind and his eyes on the
ball. temporarily ignoring the exciting game the
goal posts and his opponents charging down
upon him.

warriors are waiting for warmer weather
before attempting to play the match.
E. j. Swift, the genial editor Of "The
Tee" Official publication Of the wash
ington Golf and Country Club, bursts
into print with the announcement that
good golf Is easy. AS soon as some OF
his golflng associates read what he had
to say about good golf, an endless bar
rage Of questions arose, the main tenor
Of whose observations were, How
should Bunny know?"
But with customary suavity Swift
went on TO explain that bad golf Is
hard work. Have you ever noticed"
he said, "how tired you are when you
come In from bad and nerve-wrAck-
ing Gay on the course? Last Sunday
Charley Doing remarked on this fact
after he had q tough day"
And Swift continued with this OBJ
serVation: when we are having
bad time with our shots we are apt to
be working too hard. Everything we
do Is tense and unnatural. Our grip
is tight, the body stiffens, there Is little
flexibility in our wrists. Too much
effort - too much tension - too much
anxiety. The good golfer forgets him
self, swings naturally and lets the club
head do the work" Which is advice
about as good and as concentrated as
any professional might give.

~ ALEIGH, N. c., January A.
- Gus Tebell, the foot ball and
basket bail professor from Wis
consin, who is shooting at his
second straight Southern Conference
cage title at North Carolina State, hopes
his sophomores are as hot as they were
as freshmen.
They'll have to be hot, he reasons,
because sophomores will make or break
the Wolfpack title hopes. Last year
they were good enough to snatch the
State freshman championship from an
array of promising contenders.
The Wolves will miss Frank Goodwin,
high scoring ace of last season, and two
other stars who finished their college
caging when State breeZed through the
conference tournament, spanking Duke
in the final tilt.
So the sophs and three veterans will
do the snarling for the pack. The vets
are Capt. Maurice johnson, a senior,
who plays either guard or forward:
Gus Wright, husky guard, and Larry
Haar, a forward.
The most promising sophonores are
Jimmy Brown, ace of the championship
freshmen last Winter; Waring, q 6-foot
4-inch center, who is being groomed
for Goodwins place; Woodward and
Gaylor, forwards, and Ellington and
Morgan, centers.

INTERNATIONAL GOLF
TOURNEY FEE IS $3.50

A world record for size of golf entry
fee has been set for the so-called tour
nament of the centuries" to be staged
by two transatlantic steamship lines over
five famous British courses from May
to June / of 1880.
The entry fee for the tourney is $780,
but thi~ includes all expenses of trans
portation and accommodations, with all
details of travel and play to be arranged
by the tournament committee. The
chief prize has been put up by one of
the shipping companies, and is said to
be valued at $1,000. It will be awarded
to the player with the aggregate low net
for all the courses. The tourney will
be run Of on a medal play handicap
basis, individual handicaps to be ad-
iusted from day to day on the basis Of
the previous days play.
One Of the unusual features of the
tourney, in addition to the size of the
entry fee Is that it is open only to MEM
bers of registered golf clubs having
handicaps Of not less than 20. In the
announcement of the event, its sponsors
say that golf Is made possible for the
expert only by the enthusiasm and CO.
operation of the higher handicap play
ers. The tourney will, in fact, be a
buffers event, and 1t seems that Guy
Mason'S idea exemplified in high ham
dicap tourney at Congressional last year,
Is to bear fruit in an international way
this year The courses over which the
tourney will be played are: Cruden Bay
