"HAT'S the reason for the inten-
sive practice lickS now being put
in by one of the two outstand-
ing amateurs around the Capital last
year, and that's the reason Roger
Peacock is going to be better player
in 1884 than he was in 1888 and 1882.
You can get away with low flying,
long-running shots on golf courses
where the fairways are not tightly
trapped and where the carries are
not severe. But when you try to play
the same shots on tightly trapped
layout, where running hook will find
the depths Of bunker and where
some of the carries are longer than
normal, you are apt to run up your
score.
Roger Peacock has found that out
and he is on his way toward quail
fication in the amateur championship
OF 1884, with better than vague pos
sibility that he may do some upset.

tournament opens at Brookline, if he

Roger is a product of Indian Spring
AiICio AC oVdil lco do Cduuic dLlO
there he learned the game which has
placed him at the very crest of the
local amateur brigade. But there are
no very severe carries at Indian
Spring, the fairways are not narrow
and are not tightly trapped. It's a
course where a rolling hook is very
good type Of shot.
Let those fairways be narrowed down
. trif1e. let the rough grow up to 2
feet in height, pull some of those
fairway bunkers in a little closer and
the course would at once become one
for the high carry from the tee.

Out to Regain Laurels.

WHEN Roger transported his low
wv flying tee shot out there to
Cincinnati and found course
where the carries were severe and
when the running hooked tee shot
found trouble, he resolved to change
his game. He Is now in the throes
Of the change.
It isn't easy for a man who has
grown up to hit rolling hook to
change his swing around to hit high
carry, but Roger, with his knowledge
of the mechanics Of the game and his
fine golf swing, can do and is doing
1t. He is going to be hard nut to
crack this year, for Peacock at MS
best, is good enough golfer to go
long way in any company.
It was a severe shock to the young
ster to drop his District amateur title
to Dick Lunn over his own course
last year and since the coming sea-
son promises a flock OF merry little
scraps between Peacock and Lunn,
young Roger is getting himself in
shape for it-by learning to hit the
ball up in the air.
He is looking forward to good
wear; to a successful defense OF his
Maryland title and to recapture OF
the District crown he wore in 1882.
II determination will do 1t, Roger is
as good as in.

Before this" Robertson continued,
they have been thinking of the mile
In terms or times of 4:12 or maybe
4:l0. Few runners believed that any
one could hold up for a 400 pace.
But when Lovelock and Bonthron
both beat 400 in one race, that
showed the possibilities on ahead.
You know there's more than you

Yale Coaching and Foot Ball.

Yale Coaching and Foot Ball.
SHORT while ago I asked
~ Harry Mehre, Georgia's coach,
n what Yale foot ball man would
have the best chance as Yale's
head coach. Mehre's answer was
"Ducky Pond"
asked Mehre because he knows his
trade and because his Georgia teams
have been playing Yale for several
years.
Pond" he said, "is not only
high-class fellow. but he knows his
share of foot ball. He has been
scouting us for some time and I know
him we'll When Ducky starts north
he has picked up almost everything
we have. He is keen, intelligent and
a natural foot ball man"
Any first thought of Ducky Pond
goes back to the rainy afternoons at
Cambridge and New Haven, where this
Yale back must have thought he was
romping on a dry track. Extensively
and defensively, he was foot ball
player.
What Yale needs is a coaching
staff that will give a real spirit to
Spring practice-to the sound in
struction OF such fundamentals as
blocking, tackling, passing, pass re-
ceiving and kicking-plus the ground
work along offensive lines.
This will be no gift from the gods.
It means hard work for five or six
weeks in the right spirit of foot ball.
There is no high-class coach who
won't tell you that Spring practice
is not only important, but vital-one
of the main answers to a seasons
failure or success.
Yale foot ball has grown slack for
some time past. 1t has not only
missed the old Yale fundamentals, but
it has lacked the old Yale keenness-
the old Yale love of the game-which
includes practice as well as play.
good big part of it-most OF 1t
must be up to a coaching staff that
can build up enthusiasm in a squad

ROBERTS FAVORED
FOR N. Y. j. BERTH
Held Likely Successor to
Cam, Who Quits Gridiron
Job Under Fire.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N yEW YORK, February g.
M For the second time in
l Y three years, but for
totally dissimllar reasons,
New York University was forced
to look about for a new head
foot ball coach today.
Howard G. (Jake) Cam, appointed
to the post in January. 1882, as sue
cesor to dynamic John F. Chick
Meehan when N. Y. U. decided to de-
emphasize the game, resigned sud-
denly last night after being subjected
to heavy undergraduate fire for
months. He retains his post, however,
as basket ball coach and assistant
professor and director of physical
training.
Indications pointed strongly today
to Arthur N. (Archie) Roberts of
Holyoke, Mass, as new head coach,
quarterback on the great Meehan-
coached teams of the Ken Strong al
Lassman era, freshman coach Of bas-
ket ball, foot ball and base ball since
1929. Roberts is immensely popular
with players and alumni alike.

nation with deep regret" an
nounced it had no one under consid-
Grafton for the job at present, it was
known that several members of last
seaeon'S oft-beaten team had pressed
for Roberts appointment.
Cams letter of resignation gave no
reason whatever for his action, but
there was no doubt it was in response
to undergraduate dissatisfaction with
N. Y. U. foot ball showing the last
two years.
The student body. which had hailed
his appointment as assurance that
the high-pressure methods Of the Nee
han era would be eradicated, began to
mutter when the Violets dropped de-
cisions to Colgate. Purdue and Ford
ham in 1882. It became decidedly
vocal when the 1888 eleven opened
its season by losing to West Virginia
Wesleyan and then went on to suffer
defeats by Colgate. Georgia ano

beating only Lafayette and Carnegie
Tech.
