provision that no person shall burn

But, he lets kids have their fun.
The youngsters realize their
own shortcomings. They see the
need for special instruction. They
realize the desire of the coach to
give them the much needed
special instruction. The youngsters
learn all about themselves, gain
confidence in their respective
abilities. They realize that they
have a. chance to make" the
varsity. But, they have fun.
Most of all, the spring practice
candidates realize that this game
of football is great. They know
that it can be made into a med
ium for fun, and lots of it.

Those who feel the present is
time of crisis for college foot
ball froWn as word trickleS
through that modern gladiators
of the gridiron are starting to
polish up on their technique.
Days of Recreation
Those who look with satisfac-
tion on the game of football as
a medium for wholesome fun and
play smile as they hear that
spring practice has started.
Those who seek the destruction
of football are hard at it search
ing for more material on which
to base contentious that the
greatest of American games
should be discarded forever.
For the most part, these days
Of spring practice are days of
great fun, and play, and reCrea-
ton for varsity candidates.
Serious Work In Fall
For the most part, the days of
regular fall practice are days Of
seriousness, hard work, aching
limbs.
During these spring practice
sessions the youngsters relax.
Play is more or less informal.
There are no crowds, and, there
fore, there is no tension.
Jack Smith meets Tom Jones,
and they become friends. When
Pete Brown misses tackle every.
one laughs, and Pete laughs, too.
Coach Catches Spirit
What real sport is left in foot
ball, in these days of Big Busi-
ness, is on tap in spring practice.
It's fun now, real fun In the
fall it will be business, serious
business.
The coach in spring practice
seems to catch the spirit of the
youngsters. He smiles as he sees
his charges really ENJOYING
football. Secretly, he wishes it
could always be this way. How
ever, the imperfections of an i'm
perfect world crash in to spoil
his dream of football for fun,
and play, and recreation, and
sport.
The coach makes note of his
material, out of which he is to
build a winner. Now he has the
time to give special instruction
in the all-important fundamentals.
He must get a line on the ability
of his players. He must outline

SHORE SCHOOL.NAVY LOOKING
SCORE LEADER To VETERANS

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 2.-De-
feated but one time in IL sea-
sons of hard intercollegiate COM
petition, and also very successful
in retaining team honors in the
meetings for intercollegiate cham
pionships at the end of many
campaigns, the United States
Naval Academy boxing team next
Saturday night embarks on a new
year of conqueStS when they meet
the Louisiana University mittmen.
The match will be staged in
the gymnasium at 1880 p. M, and
the boxers will step into the ring
in which Gene Tunney won the
heavyweight crown from Jack
Dempsey at Philadelphia in 1926.
The Navy team is as strong as
most Navy boxing teams have
been at the opening meet of the
season. Coach Spike Webb,
backed by considerable personal
ring experience, and gleanings
from training such great boxers
as Gene Tunney, Jackie Fields,
Fidel LaBarba and frankie &C.
nero, has taught his pupils plenty
of ring skill and also how to wade
in and punch. Since Webb came
to the Academy Navy has had ag-
gressive, hard fighting teams.
The Middies start the 1882
schedule with only two veterans.
Archie Wright, who starred in
last seasons meets, will again
box in the 115-pound class, while
Herbert Fulmer. who won the
intercollegiate lightweight cham
pionship by knocking out Capt.
Dug Crosby, of the Western Mary
land College team, will represent
Navy again in this weight. The
rest of the team will be fighting
their first bout for Navy.

4GNATES MAKE MANY CHANGES IN TEAMS DURING WINTER
LAP GREAT
HORSE, SAYS
DONOGHUE
"Phar Lap is a wonderful ami
NAL. He's what we in England
would call a grand horse"

"Phar Lap is a wonderful ami
NAL. He's what we in England
would call grand horse"
Thus claims Steve Donoghue,
veteran of the British turf, hailed
'as England's champion rider,
with six Derby victories to his
credit-three of them in success
sive years, an unprecedented feat.
DOnoghue May Ride
Phar Lap, which Donoghue may
ride at Aqua Caliente, is the
Australian wonder racer. seeking
new honors in America after win
ming 36 out of so starts in Aus
tralia. earning $279,745 for his
owners.
Phar Lap holds the Australian
record for the mile and one-fourth.
He made it in 2:0212. Continues
Donoghue:'
Zone of the finest horses I've
ever seen. A great walker, full
of character, wonderful dis
pOSitiOna 1 haven't seen any
more powerful thighs and hind
quarters on my other thorough
bred in my experience.
Il don't think I've ever seen
his type in America. He is
more like our big English
horses. He is well over 16
hands, has plenty of power,
good length and a most intelIi-
gent head. He walks like a
gentleman and he certainly
looks the part. 1 think he has
an excellent chance of break
ing the jinx that caused those
European horses, Papyrus and
Epinard, to lose when they
came to the States"
The suggestion that Donoghue
would be an ideal rider for Phar
Laps first race OH the American
continent was made by the stew
ards of the Aqua Caliente track.
Returns Next Month
Donoghue, who was presented
with a golden whip by King
George in 1918, and who now
rides for Sir Victor SaSson, ia
nous British sportsman, is due
back in England early in March
for the races at Lincoln and Liver
pool.
