most of the guys get just about that
for a seasons salary" Benny
Friedman, the authority in such
matters, says that Columbia's Sid
Luckman is not first class forward
passer because he sings, rather
than throws, the ball. Says that
slung ball lands in the receivers
arms with a heavy impact and is
difficult to hold .. George Conway,
War AdmiraPs trainer, walked all
around the Laurel track looking for
holes before he decided to start the
colt.
University of Maryland friends
say that Keller, the Newark outfield
ace, was paid bonus of $4,000
when he left the campus to lead the
International league in batting last
summer Long before he be-
came the New York Jockey clubs
racing secretary and Handicapped,
Jack Campbell was cotton broker
down in Louisiana People who
should know insist that Yale's Clint
Frank is just as good on the court
as he is on the gridiron. Back home
in Evanston he was one of the
schoolboy basketball stars of the
Middle West but, possibly because
the football authorities do not wish
to take a chance with their meal
ticket, he has not mingled with the
basketball boys at Yale While
Man O. War is responsible for War
Admiral, the leading money winner
of the year, he is second on the list
of those string the most winners.
The Porter heads that list for 1887
=. Bert Baroni, who raced his
stable in the East this season, is
already in California waiting for the
Christmas day opening of Santa
Anita.
Walt Kiesling, 25o-pound guard
who plays for Pittsburgh, is the old
est veteran in the National Football
league. Although he is only thirty
two years old this is his twelfth
season The fOndest recollection
of Clarence Tuffy Thompson, Pr
rates halfback, is those two kick
offs he ran back for Minnesota
touchdowns against Michigan :.
Dave TObey, the basketball official,
is in favor of the new rule elimi-
mating the center jump but suggests
that it can be modified to better
please the customers. Instead Of
putting the ball into play immedi-
ateiy after field goal T0bey recon-
mends a five-sec0nd wait SO that
the fans can have opportunity to
applaud a spectacular play or goal.

Harvard Has Given
Exceptionally Good
Account of Itself
g New York Post.-wNU Service.

DEFINITELY that "a to score
that Harvard rolled up against
Princeton when the Crimson defeat
ed the Tigers for the first time since
1923, by the biggest margin the
Cambridge boys ever recorded over
their New Jersey rivals, gives some
indication as to the football trend
for the next season or two.
How can the man write such
things, you ask, when everybody
knows years have elapsed since the
nation permitted members of the
erstwhile gridiron trinity to set it's
styles? Right you are, save that
am not claiming that Harvard and
Yale, which have been operating on
similar lines all season, have any
exclusive formula. i merely am
noting that two institutions, usually
five seasons back of the latest de-
velopments, happen to be up in the
forefront for once.
Football has overlong been doc
tored with quack nostrums. Wher-
ever alumni suffered from too many
defeats some lOng-haired medicine
man was called in to prescribe a
touchdown restorative. Naturally
these panaceas, for all that they
were Ornamented with fine soothing
words, were as useless as the aver
age run of such things. Since they
merely titivated the patient pleas
urably for a while without getting
at the basic ailment, there in
variably was relapse.
That is where Harvard has benefit
ed by the presence of Doc Harlow,
a healer of the old school and a gen.
tleman who previously had made
the nation sit up and take notice of
patients at Penn State, Colgate,
Western Maryland and few other
clinics. Using the same common
sense remedies which made John
Harvard such a robust football fell
low from 1908 to 1916, he : has
achieved results which might even
have satisfied Percy Haughton.
Haughton, it may be recalled, was
no fancy oOn OF a f00tDau coach
even though he may be listed as one
of the five all-time greats. Aside
from the unbalanced line, with
which others were experimenting at
the time, it is difficult to associate
him with any contribution to the So
called science of the game.
He tauoht his Hardwiclxc and Pen-
nocks to block and tackle. Wendells
and Bradlees were taught how to
slant off the tackles, sweep around
the ends or smash through the CEN
ter. When he had a triple threat
such as Mahan so much the better.
His teams then could kick opponents
back to the goal line, make them
struggle to gain on the ground what
had been lost in the air.

Famous HYMN

The recent sale of the original
manuscript of Onward, Christian
Soldiers" recalls the manner in
which that stirring religious hymn
came into being.
Some Yorkshire (Eng.) Pupils,
years ago, planned to make q
Whitsuntide procession to neigh
boring church. They asked their
young curate, Rev. Sabine Bar
ing Gould, to write them march
ing song. He sat down, composed
the hymn in a few minutes.
Originally sung to tune by
Joseph Haydn, its music now is
that of Sir Arthur Sullivan. He
composed the music as the result
of a sudden inspiration.-Washing.

Where Fashion Leads
We Trail Like Sheep

n EAR Mrs. Post: Will you please
- explain about the wearing of
wells in the present day? Mother in
sistS that they were never intended
to be worn after dark and can
hardly believe she is right because
why would SO many of the hats
bought for street wear have wells
attached to them?
Answer: It is impossible to at
tempt to limit fashions. Perhaps
women will wear wells around their
wrists or around their necks next,
for whatever fashion says to do we
all, like so many sheep, follow after.
OF course they didn't used to wear
wells in the evening. Of course they
didn't used to 60 without backs in
their dresses either, nor did they
play tennis in panties! At presen.
they do wear stiff little ruff1e trim
mings on the hats and call them
wells, and also call some of the hats
they grace evening hats. AS for
the large circular evening wells that
are dropped snugly over the hair to
keep it in place, and then flare
smartly at the bottom edge, which
are Illustrated in the fashion maya
zines, they are perhaps legitimate
children of day before yesterdays
"faScinator."

NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:


REY met at Baker fed while
= Columbia was rracticing. Nat.
urally they talked about football and
finally their subject became drop
kicking. Both of them agreed that
there wasn't enough of it nowadays.
Undoubtedly they knew what they
were talking about, too. For al
though neither of them knew the
others name, one was Ralph Hew-
lit, probably the greatest kicker
ever developed at Columbia. The
other was Charley Brickley, who
booted five field goals one after
noon while Harvard was beating
Yale Hewitt, by the way, says
that the greatest back he ever
played against was Al Marsters of
Dartmouth. The best lineman was
an unSung tackle from Virginia. 81

was a total stranger. Stays cut in
on us frequently and l stood out
most of the evening. Could 1 have
cut in on other girls whom l had
not met?
Answer: What your friend should
have done would have been to take
you up to some of the girls first be-
fore you and she went on dancing.
Then the next time she was cut in
on you could have cut in on any of
these girls to whom she had in
troduced you. To leave you not
knowing person in the room was
showing very little social tact on
her part.

~ for parents to handwrite an an
nouncement of a baby's birth on
plain white cards? 1 think some
thing simple like "Mr. and Mrs.
