gloom when nothing will &c

1t isn't a physical matter, for such

when one physically feels at the peak.
And one often plays ones best golf
on a day when one is physically be-

The golfers "off day" Is largely

This is hard to explain. But there
1t Is There are days when one can
concentrate easily. There are other
days when one can't concentrate at
all.
The mental attitude for the day
Is. however, a big factor. Any out
ways. It Is impossible to be thinking
Of some outside matter and still play
good golf.
Why is 1t that one may feel At and
still have an Off day? 1t is quite pos
sible that on such day one may be
too keen, with the nervous system too
tense. But back Of 1t all is that
matter of subconscious action which

From the same dope Juggling source,
which happens to be our old friend
H Pierpont Edwards. comes another
mythical team made up wholly OF
athletes, including five Griffs, who
have contrived to do pretty well in
their chosen life work without the
benefit of book larnin', as follows:
Pitchers - Crowder, Whitehin.
Grove, Gomez, MarberTy.
Catchers-Dickey Rick Ferrell.
Infielders-Cronin, Bluege, Lag
Zeri, FoXX. Melillo.
utfelders-Manush, Simmons,

CAPTURES CROWN
IN STIRRING TILT.
Conquers Central, 81 to 81,
as Series Ends-Roose-
welt Downs Western.

r ASTERN today is back on
- the public high school
basket ball throne after
- a years abdication. The
Lincoln Parkers won the 1884
title by conquering a furiously
struggling Central team, 1921,
yesterday.
1t was luscious victory for proteges
of Coach Mike Kelley, as it was Cen
trail that won the public high pennant
in 1898, in spite of losing one Of its
games to Eastern. The latter, which
later in the campaign defeated Cen
tral in the Washington and Lee tour
ney for a second time, was convinced
it had the better team and should
have won the public high flag. And
it never changed its mind.
In the other game yesterday, which
marked the end of the series, Roose-
velt won its second game Of the title
set, defeating Western, 44-33. to beat
the Georgetowners out for the cellar
title.
EASTERN won seven games and
III lOSL one 10 WIN the CnalnDlO1-
ship this year. Its lone loss
came in its first series start, when it
bowed to Tech in 34-30 battling. Tech
finished second, with six victories and
two defeats, Central was third. with
five wins and three losses; Roosevelt,
fourth. with two triumphs against six
setbacks, and Western last, with nary
win in eight games.
Eastern now has won the public
high court crown in clear-cut style
four times since 1917 when the title
series was started and twice has tied
for the crown, each time with Cen
trail The latter leads over the years
with six undisputed championships
and two ties. Tech has won the
crown outright five times.
Central, routed by Eastern, 40-l5,
in their f7rst-round battle, gave East
ern rousing fight from the opening
gun yesterday. Led by Cliff (Bits)
Keyser, who returned TO center after
being out with an injured hand and
ran wild to ring up Is points, Central
battled the Lincoln Parkers on a
point-for-point basis throughout the
first half, which ended with Eastern
leading, 1914, after it was ahead. 7-6,
at the end of the first quarter. Then
the inspired charges of Coach Bert
Coggins stepped out at the start Of
the third quarter and, led by Keyser
and Buddy Nau, gained 24-19 lead
1t appeared Central was to win and
the series was to end in a three way
tie among Central. Eastern and Tech.
But Eastern lashed back at this stage
and Nolan. Basin and Edelin, found
the hoop before Central was able tc
score again. AS the quarter ended
the Lincoln Parkers were clinging to
1924 edge.
