IAGOYA, Japan, September 12-
~ Americas transforming track
and field team captured IL first
places against second-rate japanese
opposition in a 13-event meet here

The effect of the golf swing on
swings of another sort is hard to
gauge. There are several base ball
managers who argue violently against
golf for ball players.
They contend that the verti-
cal arc and the movement of
the shoulders and hips will
throw an ivory chatteI OFF his
batting form. They place
reasonably strict ban on golf at
all times.
On the other hand, you have gents
like Mr.. joe Mccarthy who permit
the boys to indulge in the Spring
and on off days. Mr.. Mccarthy would
have tough time banning il. because
most of his wards are slug-nutty about
golf. Mr.. Foster is in more or less
the same position. He has a golf
he can do about it.
And, anyway" said James
McLarnin, golf is a good form
of exercise for a fighter. 1t gets
him out, and it keeps him NOV
ing, and he enjoys it,"
With Mr.. Ross observing in decent
fashion the Jewish holiday of Rosh
Hashanah, McLarnin will hive a hea
start in the postponement train ng
period. There seems to be a Slight
switch to James in the betting. but
the betting is not heavy enough to
make any difference in this fight. The
gambling boys are not sure who
will win.
In this respect, they differ sharply
from Mr. Ross and Mr.. McLarnin,
either of whom can give you the an
swer to the problem in one 1rrd.

CARDS AND TERPS
WILL SCR|MMAGE
Planning to Meet at Least
Four Times Before They
Start Campaigns.
BY III. c. BYRD.

~ ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY and
4 Maryland have arranged an
other series of practice scrim-
images for the next two weeks,
system Of helping each other get in
shape to open their foot ball schedules
that has been employed by them for
the last several years.
According to present plans the
squads will get together four times
before they begin formal play. The
dates for these scrimmages have not
yet been settled and probably will not
be announced.
Last Fall Catholic u and Maryland
hooked up in three practice scrim-
images and the green Maryland squad
prohted immeasurably. This Fall
Maryland is stronger and should help
C. U. a good deal, besides prohting
itself.
The'factor in such scrimmaging that
makes it much more valuable than
anything in the nature of a scrlm-
mage between teams from the same
squad is that it more closely approx
mates actual game conditions, with
strange signals, different types of play.
and a much more spirited defense
against which to try out plays It is
the kind of practice that tempers the
steel in a team.
TT is doubtful if any other foot
ball squad in the country is prac-
ticing this Fall with so little en-
couragement as Johns Hopkins The
Baltimoreans have announced that
they will not have team in 1885, and
that in itself is enough to chill en-
thusiasm.
The squad is very small, numbering
just about two full teams If any
other coach has a less bright outlook
than Ray Van Orman he is not known.
Navy is arranging a schedule for its
'B" squad, planning to have that team
play at home on dates the varsity is
away. From the Navy's B squad it
gets many good men, as it is used as a

the upper stories of the young grid

Looks Minnesota Year.

II Asst years great backfield, Lund,
Alphonse and Beise, with La
Wore and Seidel alternating at
quarterback, is intact. 1t will be
hard put to stand off the challenge
of two spectacular performers from
the frosh team, Dollarhide and Clark
son. With a veteran line, led by the
great Larson, in front of such back
field, it looks a Minnesota year.
At Ohio State Coach Schmidt, newly
arrived from Texas, favors a single
wingback and short punt system of
play The Ohio State line of last year
has been riddled by losses, and excel
lent requirements do not seem abun-
dant. The fact that Merle Wendt, the
most promising freshman back, has
been shifted into the line would seem
to indicate this. While Ohio State has
a great array of backfield men, Coach
Schmidt in his first year in the con-
ference will do well to stay in the first
division.
At Purdue the standouts of last
year, Purvis and Carter, halfbacks, will
be back Purdue, however, has lost all
its line except the center. 1t faces
about the same problem as Ohio State
and will present the greenest team it
has had in years. 1t may slip into the
second division, but believe that the
excellent coaching staff-Kizer, FL
ward and Mackay-will be able to fash
ion strong running attack that again
will keep Purdue well up in the race.

Tuning Up" Counts.

TN THE case of these big cup boats
there is not much difference
among them as to speed or IN
the skill and alertness OF their
handling.
When such boats, sailing over 30
odd miles of water for about four
hours. more or less, reach the finish
ing line only a few seconds apart, as
they have done repeatedly this year.
the margins of difference, either in
the boats or in the handling, are very
slight. Consequently. it is the refine
ments of handling and of tuning up"
the boats that count in these races.
AS starter to the process OF tuning
up a boat, she must be made to bal
ance; that is, when she is sailing close
hauled, as near the wind as she can,
she must practically steer herself.
A good boat carries slight weather
helm; in other words. when a pun Of
wind strikes her sails she naturally
and easily turns her bow toward the
wind as she feels the breeze.

carrying ability of his running backs.
There are six seasoned ball toters who
have carried College Park colors into
battle before. They understand
pretty thoroughly what to do with
the leather oval when it comes to
evading a pair of outstretched mitts.
Widmyer Is on Job.
Several yards of slush could be
rolled out with ease about Earl
Widmyer and his flying Mercury"
propensities, and Norwood Sothoron,
the lacrosse star, who has forced the
foot ball critics to admit his prowesS
as a ground gamer. Dick Nelson and
Joe Crecca have more than earned
the gold Ms awarded them for their
groveling on the gridiron for the
glory of the Terp. George Sachs and
Buddy Yaeger, two more letter men,
contributed much yardage in various
ways last Fall, but they are not top
notch when the opposition is in pos
session of the ball and all steamed up
over the idea of going places with
that article!
That's it! Coach Jacks dilemma
is aired at last! Secondary defense.
Any team, no matter how rampant it
may be in rushing the ball, is likely
to take shellacking if it can't throw
a monkey wrench into the enemys
attack. To run up several touchdowns
in brilliant end dashes and line bucks
still will leave the home town boys on
the short end of the score if the visit
ing Elks are given the key to the goal
posts.
Lessons on Defense.
So in this period of pre-scheduled
bruising Faber and his staff are CIV
ing the Old Liners serious lessons on
the subject of defensive foot ball. Al
Woods, former Maryland grid star, is
showing the backs how to make a real
tackle. The TerrapinS could have
looked far and yon for man better
qualified in this department of play
than Chopper" Woods he gained
fame cutting 'em down!
Looking to the development of a
satisfactory secondary defense, the

Should Be Steered by Sails.

IDEALLY, a racing sailboat should
be steered by her sails on any
angle of sailing, with the rudder
used only occasionally as corrective.
A rudder used constantly acts not
only as a guide to the boat, but also
as a brake.
Once the boat is balanced the
skipper has to learn how to make
her go. A boat is as temperamental
as race horse that has sung in grand
opera.
Only the skipper can tell whether
the boat is really going or not, and he
can tell only by the sensitiveness of
his hand on the tiller, by the feel"
of the boat.
To him the boat may feel sluggish
as if she we're tired out, or walking in
her sleep, yet there does not seem to
be anything the matter.
Most races are won or lost on the
windward leg. Taking boat up
hill' is the real test of both skipper
and boat.

glance at the foot ball squads
y Of mid-Western institutions
indicates that all along the
line, with few exceptions, teams this
season will be bigger and better than
ever and that competition is getting
keener. With indicated improvement,
this section should be able to add to
the laurels it has won in the past.
In the Big Ten last year, Michigan,
Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue and
Illinois finished in the first division,
in the order named Michigan'S S
championship reign of years seems to
be seriously threatened this season,
as it has lost eight regulars, among
them its main defensive cogs, Ber-
nard, center, and Wistert, left tackle,
and also its offensive aces, Fay and
EverharduS, halfbackS.
However, Regeczi, the Nations best
punter, and Renner, a great passer,
will be back. Add excellent material
from last years reserves and some
sterling freshman performers, mix
these we'll with Coach Kipke's sound
system, and l think the result will be
a typical Michigan team, well up in
the first bracket.
Minnesota, second last year, should
move up a notch this year. The only
major loss was Oen at center. The
rest of a great fighting team is back
intact, with splendid reserve strength
and a better than average crop of
freshmen for additional reinforce
mentS.

Long and Short of 1t.

TN CONJUNCTION with this pro-
Il gram of preparing his charges to
cope with the best laid enemy
plans, Comdr. Faber early rec
ognized the need of two spare ends
who would be more than a couple of
uniforms to rush in as substitutions
The long and short of it (pardon the
trite Roman saying) is that in Vic
Willis, 6-foot- t-5-inch soph from Del
aware, and Bill CARROT, 5-foot-6-inch
former Washington Central High
player, he may have the two extremes.
Both are looming considerably past
the mediocre mark on the College
Park horizon. They appear to have
something more than sweat of honest
toll under their helmets Charlie
Keller, a boy who never played foot
ball before, also is very much on the
wing.
