Has Even Chance
His name is John Spirida. And,
also, believe it or not. he has an
even chance of developing into
another Cliff Battles, if your ears
are attuned to the CAREFUL words
Of an old maestro, Cleo O'Donnell,
who besides being ultra-conserva-

John Spirida played halfback

son indicated, and tied Holy
Cross, thereby practically knock
ing the Crusaders out of a Bowl
game.
John, who looks and acts a great
deal like Cliff Battles, is s feet l
inch tall and weighs a bit more
than 100 pounds. He's fast. agile,
clever. He's a ball-toter, a broken
field runner. an end-runner, a line

even more unorthodox than Nc
Grath. He produces his backhand
with his left hand Gin effect a
forehand drive) while his fore
hand is made with the racket
gripped in both hands off the
right wing. He usually serves
right-handed, but he is ambidex-
ferrous, since he can serve almost
equally well with his left hand.
Bromwich, like many star lay
ers before him, is tall and lean,
with long, stretching back muscles,
the muscles known in boxing as
"the hitting muscles" He moves
catlike about the court, even if
his feet do look bit large. He
has speed, plenty of it, but, &C.
cording to him, he first mastered
fundamentals before he undertook
to develop his speed.

And Care
OF Hands
Apply Cuticle Cream
and Good Skin Lo-
ton, Then Massage.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

HANDING yourself beauty as you
bridge the seasons isn't exactly
an easy task. There are all the hand
marks of an active, sporting Sum-
mer -. a deep coat Of tan, no doubt,
which is no longer fashionable this
Fall rough skin, broken cuticle. split
nails, callous spots from maneuvering
oars or tennis rackets.
The first thing to do is to soften
the hands. Here's an excellent treat
ment: First, cleanse your hands thor
oughly. Instead of using your usual
soap, try pore cleanser in the form
Of soap-substitute grains. Moisten the
skin, wash with the grains and rinse
thoroughly. You'll find that the lit
tie dead cells, or scarf skin, are readily
removed and the hands are left look
ing so much lighter, cleaner and
softer.
Then apply your cuticle cream to
the cuticle and your hand lotion to
the skin, massaging in firm, rotary
movement.
One of New York's most famous
experts in hand care and nail color
has developed several exercises which
she calls gymnastics for hands to
give them grace and glamour. One
is called the piano player: Place
hands on table, with fingers touching
dc
separately five times, holding the
other fingers firmly ON the table.
Another: Hold hands out, palms
down; keep them perfectly relaxed,
then swing them around in circles
from wrist, clockwise and counter
clockwise. Repeat 10 times.
Third: Grasp left hand firmly with
right hand and rotate at wrist clock
wise and counter clockwise 10 times.
Repeat on other hand.
Fourth: Make q tight fist, fling
fingers out, fan shape; then relax COM
pletely. Repeat each hand 10 times.
Fifth: Bend hand at wrist, holding
fingers backward ~ far a. possible:
dip fingers down, initiating the dive
OF swan, and move forward, con-
tinuing the motion. Repeat each hand
10 times.
This expert returned recently from
an extended trip to England. She
says: "One thing strikes me particu-
larly in comparing English hands with
our American hands: The English
woman holds her hands beautifully in
respose, whereas here the art of
gesture is paramount. Repose VS.. rest
lessness." Something to think about
and practice.

However, local shops have done
their best to make this task an easy
and pleasant one by providing ideas
galore, and sufficient variety in school
clothes to suit all concerned. For
the first warm days of Autumn the
younger crowd will stick to washable
frocks, but they will want them to
be fresh, bright and new. They like
small-patterned prints with swing
skating. These dresses usually have
white turnover collars of pique or
linen; some are buttoned from neck
to hem. Stripes made of tiny flowers
are nice on a brown cotton with
tiny green belt. Polka dots continue
and plaids are as numerous in cot
ton dresses As they are in the woolens.
They are always particularly youthful
and their gay colors are especially
suited to the season.
For this younger set We found an
unusual wool knit dress with its own
little sleeveless bolero boasting an
applique design in cut velveteen. 1t
was shown in warm, cozy cinnamon
brown and had distinctly new and
different look.
SWEATERS and skirts are standby
of the schoolgirl Of all ages. Tables
are piled high with these, in every
color and in every price. For the older
girl who is looking for something a
little better than the usual type Of
sweater and skirt combination we
have found shop where they have
