citation serving as both judge and

While many coaches believe that
the use of hard and unyielding
equipment constitutes the greatest
danger in football, it is not likely
that changes in that equipment will
be drastic. 1t is argued, and rightly
SO, that the very cause Of many
gridiron accidents is also a protec-
tive factor which keeps many a
player from serious injury.
Almost all coaches are willing to
change football equipment providing
requirements are satisfactory. They

promoters have always been wary
of all Negro bouts, and have al
ways had curious prejudice
against them. Chief among the rea-
sons is that a large percentage of
fight fans stayed away out of sheer
Indifference to the outcome. Any
thing that lessons the gate receipts
is naturally arsenic to promoters.
There are other reasons why it is
unusual to see top Negro fighters
throwing leather at each other.
Far too many mediocre white
boys have advanced a long ways
through regulations built up by fixed
fights. Negro fighters, facing inferi-
or white fighters, have been forced
to 60 into the tank in order to earn
the most meager living. Exploited
as reputation fodder, they were
forced to play ball with all types Of
promoters and racketeers.
However, the abandon with which
two Negroes fought led those pro-
motors to believe that they had lost
their hold on the managerial strings
stretching to the fighter.
Louis has cleaned up the white
field, and Lewis is now his out
standing opponent. It's a break for
John Henry, because his style is
best calculated to bother Louis,
much in the same manner as did
Bob Pastors. Lewis, too, can use
the money. The ight-beavyweight
championship was not as lucrative
as it might have been.
And John Henry is aggressively
confident. That is a tremendous as
set in his favor.

doubtedly call for several changes.
Particular fault is found with the
type of shoe cleat which screws on
to metal post, extending from the
shoe sole. When this cleat is broken
off and the post exposed, it can
easily become the cause of deep
cuts or painful abrasions.
When less dangerous protective
equipment is found, equipment that
will afford safety to the same de-
gree as does present equipment,
then both coaches and players will
welcome it.
Elmer Layden of Notre Dame has
devised what is probably the best
football helmet from a viewpoint Of
safety. The Layden head guard has
a soft leather top, cushioned with
foam rubber on a sturdy fiber case.
1t will be used in many colleges
during the coming year.

Fuel for the Debate

STATISTICS regarding shutout
- games in the two major leagues
last season merely furnish addi-
tional ammunition to baseball fans
who argue the relative strength of
the two circuits.
There were 100 shutout games in
the two leagues, SO in the National
and Al in the American. That still
doesn't prove anything to league en-
thusiasts. National league support
ers have the shutout records to
back up claims that their league
exceIs in first rate pitching. Amer
lean league fans argue that there
are more p0werhOuse sluggers in
that league, and have the same fig
ure to support their contention.
Meanwhile the argument con-
tinues, with both sides using the
same statistics to prove their case.

His name-James A. Naismith.
The game-basketbaH.
Back d 1892 young Naismith
merely wanted a game that would
supply proper exercise to athletes

borrowed some rules from rugby,
lacrosse and hockey. A loosely knit
game to begin with, it was often
played with as many as 40 players
on a side.
At first the inventor experimental
with a circle on the floor for his
basket, but the goal tender parked
himself in the circle, and scores
were impossible. He then tried a
hockey net, but too many points
were tailed. Finally the balcony
caught his eye, and he decided to

Lesson No. Z.

This diagram is the first actual
cut shot and break.
To make this shot requires abso-
lutte accuracy in striking the object
ball Us right. In order to keep your
cue ball from hurdling or jumping
the table, keep continually alert
on holding your cue level. Since
striking a cue ball below the center
will keep it on the table, would
advise that you strike your cue ball
slightly below center. The most
glaring fault of novice players, when
the object ball is near a cushion, is
to elevate the butt of the cue. This
in the majority of cases causes the
cue ball to leave the table.

CHAPTER V-Continued

AS might have been expected, the
bolt was tight in its well, but it was
not cemented in, and after another
ten minutes I managed to wheedle
it out.
I then took the mallet from Her
rick and tapped the rise. At once
the side I had tapped retreated be-
fore the blow, but the other side
started forward out of it's place.
"Pivoted," breathed Herrick.
''It's hung on spindle, just like
revolving door,"
One hand on my shoulder, Eliza
beth lowered her torch.
There was now before us a gap,
where the rise had been. This gap
was split into two by the rise itself,
for this had simply been turned and
was now presenting its edge, in
stead of its face. The torch i'm
mediately showed that the gap on
the right was void-that is to say,
on the side on which the rise had
retired: but the gap on the left was
framing block of stone. And sunk
in the face of this stone was ham
die, or rude, iron dog
$50 on" said Herrick. "Pull it.
If genie appears, so much the bet
ter. I've quite a lot of orders to
give"
laid hold of the dog and
pulled
At once the block slid forward,
after the way of drawer that you
pull from chest. And, as you may
pull a drawer clear, so I drew the
block out of its housing, over the
tread of the step which lay, like an
apron to take it, in front of the gap.
The block was immensely heavy,
for it must have been IL inches
deep, and, when I had drawn it
clear, it was all ! could do to lift it
out of the way and on to the tread
above.
To do this, had to stand up and
lift it between my legs; but the
others stayed where they were.
AS laid it down
''Do you see it, too?" said Her
rick.
''I-I don't understand" breathed
Elizabeth. 81 mean, how can that
be there?"
''What is it?" said I, and stepped
back to so down on my knees.
"It's time we went home," said
Herrick. That's what it is. When
I run into black magic, that's where
get off,"
Never had idle words SO specious
a warranty.
The block which I had withdrawn
had left behind it no room.
Though ! make fool of myself,
at least will make this clear.
When you pull a drawer from
chest and lay it aside, you leave in
the chest a space which is very
slightly larger than the drawer
which you have removed. But,
though I had drawn out the block,
there was no such space left. In
fact, the gap was now framing an
other block of stone which resem-
bled exactly the one had taken
away, except that it had no handle
by which it could be withdrawn.
And when I presently touched it,
the same indefinable tremor told me
it was not fixed.
"Can you beat it?" said Herrick,
shortly.
"On the face of it, no." said I.
''But there must be some simple
reason for such a thing. I mean,
these doings are ancient: there's
20 machinery here"
''There can't be reason" said
Herrick, "uniess you're a conjurer.
If you pick brick out of a wall,
you've right to expect a recess.
Well, there's the brick you picked
cut: but where's the recess?"
