Attention. Begqners Here's Hints Art of Figure Skating

AS you glide forward, lean in
very slightly toward the center
of the circle. Continue giving
yourself gentle pushes with your
free foot, keeping it off the ice
for longer and longer periods,
until you have made a decent
curve in one push.
ARE YOU READY?
Now you are ready for your
circle? Take a deep breath,
push off gently but firmly, al
ways with the full side of the
blade. not the point. Keep your
free shoulder well back, as well
as your arm and hip, until you
have completed nearly three
quarters of the circle, then slow
ly swing your torso around until
the free foot is out in front. By
this time you should be ready
to go forward In the same man
ner on the outside edge of the
free skate, which then becomes
the tracing foot on another out
side, forward circle.
When you have finished, look
down and, il what you have In
scribed on the ice is not q pei

yourself to blame.

between them and the ice to
break the fall. But skating on
the outside edge leaves nothing
between them and the hard,
glistening surface Of the ice.
Best advice to those who have
never tried the edges of their
skates is to go on the ice with
a professional or q very staunch
friend and get him to hold your
hands while you wtggle BACK
wards on ice.
Soon you will find your skates
and yourself making wider ana

your feet gently, one at a time

it alone.

BIG TEN CONFAB
TO DECIDE FATE
OF CHICAGO U.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS

CHICAGO, Nov. 30 Q.N.SO.
University Of Chicago's future in
football, at least insofar as West
ern Conference competition Is con-
cerned, will be clarified when Big
Ten directors of athletics and
coaches meet here tomorrow, to
draft schedules for 1912.
The MaroonS are booked for
conference games through 1941
but any intention to tighten
schedules beyond the year must
be declared at Thursdays meet
ing. No cancellation of games al
ready scheduled is anticipated
since that could be accomplished
only by mutual agreement with
opponents.
Even If Chicago is desirious Of
continuing its traditional Big Ten
competition, it may find difficulty
in arranging games. Continued
poor attendance at games played
on Stagg Field makes the Maroons
an undesirable opponent for home
and:home competition to the ma
jority of conference schools.
It is understood that Ohio State
is one school certain to continue
football relationship with Chicago
in case it wants conference games.
It was Amos Alonzo Stagg who
argued the Buckeyes cause when
they applied for admission to the
conference in 1918 and almost
single.handed overcame opposition
to their admission. For that rea-
son Ohio State always has been
friendly to the Maroons and is
willing to continue meeting them
on the gridiron. Michigan also
has enjoyed a long series with Chi
cago and, with Fritz Crisler, q
former Maroon star coaching the
Wolverines, may not drop the mid
way team.
