Collins Thinks Kickoff Tee
Would Lessen Cridiron Danger

= HOULD the Foot Ball Rule,
Committee decide this Winter to
decree the use again Of the
tee in kick-offs, many injuries
in scholastic foot ball games here will
be avoided, in the opinion of John
Paul Collins. president and treasurer
of the Interhigh Athletic Association
and assistant principal of Eastern High
School.
Collins points out that the few Sc
we're injuries suffered in the 1881 pub
lie high school title series occurred on
the kickoff play as the result Ct the
wedge formed by the attacking team.
Use of the tee would mean a higher
and longer kick making formation Of
the wedge impossible most OF the time
he says.
One Of the objections to the use of
the tee was that the ball was fire.
quently kicked over the goal line, but
Collins believes that this might be
remedied by kicking of from the as
yard line instead OF the 40.
With the tee in use the scholastics
would have to master the art Of block
ing, enc of the difficult things Of the
game to learn, Collins points out.
J. Kip Edwards, prominent in sports
circles here and close student of
foot ball, has an interesting idea on
this kickoff business. He believes that
it should be eliminated and that cne
team should be given the ball on its
20-yard line at the start of the game
and the other the oval on it's 20-yard
stripe at the start OF the second half.
If st. Adams School next Fall is to
turn out a foot ball team comparable
to the crack eleven which represented
it this year, the coaches will have to
do much rebuilding, as of the IT

NEW FIGHTER SINCE
HIS HANDS HEALED
Singers Opponent in Title
Bout Gives Up Mauing
for Long Range.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n YEW YORK, December IL
N Those who have not seen
i Y Christopher Bat Batta-
limo in action since he
turned back Kid Chocolate and
Fidel La Barba are likely to get
something of a shock when the
featherweight king opens hostili-
ties with AL Singer in Madison
Square Garden tonight.
An afternoon in the old st. Nick
gymnasium in Hartford, Conn, where
he put on the finishing touches to his
training. supplied evidences that new
and even more formidable Battalino
will 60 to the post against Singer.
Rather, the old Battalino. who knocked
every one silly as an amateur and then
seemed to lose his wallop after lifting
the featherweight crown, from Andre
Routis, has come into existence again.
The Battalino who mauled his way
to victory ever Chocolate and La Barba
has turned into a murderous puncher.
His sparring partners hate TO hop in
with him, even though big gloves are
used.
There is a reason for the return Of
Battalino's punch. 1t may be recalled
that he smashed both hands on Rou-
tis' hard head the night the title
changed hands.
TOR time it appeared that the Bat
i never would be able to throw an
other punch. A series of compli-
Gated operations, which resulted in ia
stitches being taken in his hands, were
required to patch up the broken maui
les. That was more than two years
ago.
After they had healed, the hands
seemed as good as ever, but after every
fight they we're very, very sore. Always
In Battalino's mind was the fear that
he might crack them up again He
became a mauler. No longer did he
turn loose those murderous punches
for the chin. So it went until last
Summer, when the champion finally
discovered that he could drop a punch
on an opponents chin with every ounce
of his power behind 1t without any
damage TO his hands.
So Bat began to let them go again.
He dropped Freddy Miller twice in their
fight in Cincinnati. He put Earl Mastro
on the floor three times. He knocked
out Bushy Graham in the first round
after Bushy previously had taken 8
decision over him. His "cannons" are
loaded again.
YITITH his punch returned to him.
Wv Battalino is a different fellow A
year ago he was rather sour sort
unless you knew him well. All an in
terviewer could get out Of him was a
QTllnted yes or no Now he is an "ear
bender" full of CAB
The champions style has undergone
O sweeping change. Instead Of rushing
to close quarters and mauling away in
a determined but not very entertaining
fashion, he has become something Of a
long-range sharpshooter. Bat still likes
70 smash away at an opponents body
inside, but he takes a fun cut at the
other fellows chin, too, as he goes in.
He has resurrected his cid shift, out of
which he fires heavy left to the head

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Repression.

One Of the most interesting of all
the ways of the mind" is the one
known as repression. The interesting
point about repression is that it tells a
story of infantilism. We all carry our
infantile minds with us, no matter how
long we live. We all tend to become
childish, when the going is rough. when
our daily problems and disappointments
become unSolvable or painful. The one
sure way to get away temporarily from
our worries is to revisit the mental
scenes of childhood. In those days
some one usually helped us out Of our
troubles: That's the why of repression.
We do most of our regressing while
we sleep. Sleep itself is sort Of
nightly return to happy days, even in
a physical sense. In a mental sense,
the dream is childish fancy. AS We
grow older, we are, Of course, able to
regress farther. That's why adult
dreams seem so queer, SO childish, so
out Of touch with adult experiences
Children, of course, do not regreSs so
much. They are already living pretty
close to the beginnings of mind-stuff
and mind methods. So children dream
about the things they think about dur
ing the day. 1t is often hard for a
child to distinguish between his waking
thoughts and his dreams. The unset
tied matters of the day become subject
matter of dreams for children.
In the case of adults repression is
the method of establishing a contact
between reality and wishes 1t is re-
erosion that causes most of our adult
dreams to appear as sh-fulhllment.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

I'VE are planning to give an enter
tainment to raise money tor our girls
camp and we thought it would be good
plan to have a tea booth with some OF
the girls dressed like gypsieS telling tea
leaf fortunes. Can you tell me where l
can get book telling how to tell for
tunes this way?" l.. i.
In a large public library you VIII
probably be able to find some reference
TO this old-time fortune telling. But you
ought not to have trouble Is working up
a system of your own-slnce your
guesses are as good as any others. The
usual procedure is to have the tea
drinker drain hsr cup Of all but table
spoon or so of liquid. She then turns
it around three times with her left hand
and makes wish and puts the cup up
side down on the saucer. The reader
takes the cup in the right hand and
slopes it toward her as she looks IN. A
single tea leaf on the near side means
a letter with good news, one on the OPP
pcsite side means slight worry. More
leaves on the near side than on the lar
side means very good luck.
A leaf Of triangle shape or a number
of leaves forming triangle means a
change in the family. On the near side
the triangle means social conquest
Leaves round the edge OF the cup mean
a journey. Anything that looks at all
like horses head means good luck and
success. A rose shape indicates happy
lover. Glover indicates good luck. A
fish means money, the nearer the top
the larger the amount.
A pointed tea leaf suggests an enemy
and a dog a faithful friend. A star
shape means good health. A heart
shape means a love affair-happy il
near the top, and not so happy If near
the bottom. Straight lines mean jour-
neys short ones pleasure journeys and
long ones business Journeys. A square
may indicate misunderstanding. A
crown indicates distinction. an umbrella
means charge of residence. The wish
will come true if there are three small
leaves or dots in a row. 1t will come
true shortly if near the top, not so soon
If in the bottom Of the cup. These are
just some Of the old signs. from which
you can make up more elaborate sys-
tenn of your own.
