Strong efforts are to be made to get the colleges In this section to enter their squads. At least two already have signified their intention to put in their full teams, and strong pres- \ sure is being brought to bear on others. Some of the schools which have dual meets scheduled are being importuned to cancel them and enter their teams. This is the case with the | Hopkins-Navy dual meet at Annapolis that day; prospects are good that both schools will agree to call off the event and enter their men here. Has Gotten Fine Start. Charley Swan, who is handling the managerial arrangements for the games, says indications are good for the best outdoor meet ever held in the south. “If attempts within the next six weeks to get entries are as pro- ductive as in the last two,” says Swan, “we'll show meet. the people here a real One of the feature events we o put on will be a_special hun- rd dash for the championship of the south.

If confidence is half the battle, Babe mready has most of the American League pitchers headed for the show- ers, and is on his way to making a mighty dent in the Yankee colonels’ bank roll at the rate of $500 for every four-base clout. “Why, man.

Ruth was asked if he thought other ball players were worth salaries ap- proximating his own. Without put- 1ing it just that way, Babe refused to be_invidious. “A man who works for another is mot going to be paid any more than he is worth, you can bet on that,” Teplied Ruth. ~“A man ought to get what he can earn.

Ruth smiled. He didn’t think he would burden himself with the re- sponsibilities and troubles of a mag- nate at any time in the very near future. Perhaps the Babe thought there might be some $75.000 a year salaries coming home to roost. “Well, what next in life? That are you going to do with all your imoney?” Babe was asked.

Experience helps you a lot in this game, just as in any other.” Ruth had a reason for saying that. While he has confidence in his natural prowess to_drive the pill out of the lot, the Babe has been interested in the scientific side of sport and has been studying some slow-action mov- ing pictures of his golf swing. They have shown his entire body In ac- tion during the stroke. Ruth's swing is not a perfect one, from the pro- fessional golfer's point of view. The camera shows him up on both toes as he hits the ball. This is “bad golf form,” but it tells something of the hidden power behind the bat the battler wields. (Copyright, 1822.)

Some scheme whereby the central board of officials | could be made a mare efficient body is just as important as an expedient designed to jack up the officials themselves. In the Lehigh-Lafayette zame last year, for example, two prominent ofil- cials arrived at Bethlehem not know- ing which was to referee and which was to umpire. As it happened both were specialists in the refereeing de- partment and had little or no experi- ence at umpiring. Originally Lehigh had named one of the two as referee, but had received no sanction from the central board. As a consequence the hour immediately preceding the game was marked by a deadlock, neither man wishing to serve as umpire. The situation was saved by the sporting expedient of tossing a coin. Suggestions to Act Upon. As long as nine years ago a stand was taken against the goal from touchdown as a useless and unjust appendage to the game. The rules committee ignored this. But even tually an alternate suggestion that the ball be kickeq from a point di- rectly in front of the goal post was adopted. The project to eliminate the feature altogether probably will be discussed at the present meeting, but the chances are discussion Wwill be carried over into the next few years before the kick from placement 1s done away with. In the meantime teams carving out touchdowns through splendid en- deavor and yet failing to kick goals will Jose to less accomplished outfits that have scored shoestring touch- downs and kicked the pucceeding goal and other unfortunate unfair{ nd unjust workings of the present| rule will be noted. Probably the suggestion—from out- side—that the ball in the third period be put in play from the spot where it Jay at the end of the second period wi]l be ignored, although in this wa: a game of foot ball would offer con- tinuity, whereas now it amounts real- 1¥_to two games.
