- HICAGO. January 10.-Each
athletic year is very much
like the ones that have gone
~ before Changes in college
athletics are usually Of an evolution
airy rather than q revolutionary ma
ture.
Yet there are few outstanding
features of athletics as developed In
the colleges in 1885 which might be
mentioned. First the attendance at
college foot ball games was improved
over the attendance in 1884. In all
sections Of the country capacity
crowds were reported at important
games.
Free scoring was very much In evi-
dence, too. Whether or not this Is
because the coaches have pretty much
standardized the technic of defense
and still are devising new methods
Of advancing tee ball, an unusually
large number of high-scoring games
were recorded.
Some have suggested that more
athletes playing on college teams
were paid by the college or by outside
individuals or groups for playing than
was true in other years. There is
no scientific evidence on which this
statement can be affirmed or refuted.

alumni, most of whom are tremen-

It may be assumed that some Of these

Present Goal Never Achieved.

HOLDER of all other champion
= ships, Hoppe has never been able
to annex the ee-cushion crown.
His greatest fame came as balk-line
champion. He is present title holder
at 1871. Hoppe seemed in fair way
today to realize his ambition in win
ming the three cushion title, judging
from his performance in the two open
ing blocks of the 360-point match.
Cochran held the lead only once in
the first block and in the second sat
in his chair and watched Hoppe build
up q lead that the San Francisco cue
star, twice three-cushion champion,
was never able to overcome.
As a result of his victory last night,
Hoppe has q total of 100 against 90
for Cochran. Cochran won the cham
pionship in the world tournament held
here in November. with Hoppe earning
the right to challenge by finishing as
runner-up.

Hoppe, still called Willie and the boy

any man since the game was invented.

most players think in terms of re-
suits and not in terms of correct
swinging. After all. it is the brain
or the mind that directs the action
of the muscles. If you are thinking
of bunker up the fairway-a pond
to be carried-trouble on ahead-you
can't also keep thinking of the right
way to swing.
THE average golfer almost
never thinks back Of the ball.
"He Is thinking ahead of the swing.
This is one thing always have to
fight. I lost a Canadian open once
with a big lead when suddenly won
dered where the ball was going at
the top of my swing. From that point
on couldn't hit a shot. My tip is
to concentrate on correct swinging
and let nature take its course"
Horton Smith: II know one Of the
most common faults In putting is
this-still wondering about the right
line and the speed of the green while
making the stroke. The thing to do
here is to pick what you think to be
the correct line first-then decide on
how keen you think the green is and
then think of nothing else after that
but smooth stroke.
"This will prevent head lift
ing, one of the main faults TN
approach putting, and stabbing
the ball.
you'd be surprised how many good
golfers make their putting stroke while
still trying to guess the line and how
hard to strike. When this happens it
is almost impossible to keep the
smoothness needed around the greens.
This same thing applies to chip shots
If you are thinking of the right thing
at the right time you won't make many
mistakes"
In the big $4,000 L. A. open, now

We may look back upon the year
1885 in college athletics as a year
which showed some improvement over
the year before and as one which
presages an even better year in 1896.

mon and hurtful of all golfing faults. v
Eddie Loos: I'm my opinion, one
of the most common faults is a bad
grip. I mean that the club too often
is held in such fashion that both wrists
and forearms are frightened. 1t isn't
gripped enough in the fingers to give
one a feel of the club head and to
loosen the wrists and forearms."
Walter Hagen: There are so many
faults in an average golf swing it isn't
easy to name public enemy No. l. A
bad grip means little chance to get
anywhere. Another common fault Is
planting both feet and stiffening both
legs.
"This locks the lower part Of
the body, resulting in a shoulder
sway In place of body turn.
There must be feeling Of COM
