The Midshipmen outfit this season is below the average of Navy| teams, well below. On the other hand, eastern foot ball men who fol-!

They say that if the Navy aggregation is to defeat the northerners it will not be by straight foot bal' and line plunging.

OPPOSES QUALIFYING IN JUMP AND VAULT NEW YORK, January 1—What amounts to the elimination of quali- fying rounds in the intercollegiate high jump and pole vault has been recommended to the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A, by the Association of \llege Track Coaches of America. Under the existing scheme quali- fying rounds in these events are con- ducted on the first day of the annual eastern college track and field cham- plonships, and_the final rounds on the second day. The coaches would con- ne high jump and pole vault com- petition to a single day. J It was pointed out that qualifying competition in the two events differs from that in all other field events. In the high jump and pole vault the qualifying marks do not hold good for the finals, whereas in the broad jump, shotjut. hamer throw and other field events, the individual marks made in, the qualifying rounds’ stand to the credit of the contesiant until and unless he surpasses them in final round competition. Llnside Gol By CHESTER HORTON: INTO SAND ABOUT TWO INCHES BACK OF BALL* When the ball in the trap lies in very loose sand or is, say, partly buried in such sand, the player ix called upon for the max- imum of mental discipline called for in any golf shot. Also, he must understand that here he plays the sand rather than the ball. x Practically a full swing i used, competitions of international character, and declares it must The adoption of the resolution real- ly was due to a clever stroke of poli- tics in athletics, Harrassed by ver- bal and printed assaults and se ing a trend against it in public opinion due mainly to widespread discussion of the case of Charles Paddock, University of Southern California sprinter, the Olympic committee was anxious to find a means to compose the differences be- tween the A. A. U. and the young fed- eration. Recent publicity revealing the par- tlal domination of American athletes in international competition by for- eign interests through the A. A. U. provided an opportunity. The reso- lution purporied to come from the Olympic committee and was adopted unanimousiy by the federation. Rexolution Attached. There was considerable discussion of it before a vote was taken, how- ever, Gustavus Kirby. former A. A. U. president and a delegate to the ronvention from the Playground and Recreation Association of America, vigorously defended the right of the A."A. U. to control the selection of Olymplc team athletes for the sports the older organization fosters. Gen. Palmer Pierce, president of the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Assoc tion, a constituent member. of the federation, and Dr. Leslie J. Aver, a delegate from the University Washington, as well as Col. Wait C. Johnson, the Army’'s delegate, who introduced the resolution, were not loath to point out the necessity of its adoption. >, Although ‘mach business was ac- complished by the convention, it was not done without almost continual comment on the Paddock case. The cause of the Pacific coast runn v has been suspended by the for unauthorized particip: games in Paris last summer, many champions. Considerable mis- information evidently has been broad- cast concerning this issue. At the morning session of the con- vention, Col. Robert M. Thompson, chairman of the Olympic committee, defended the action of the A. A. U. in suspending Paddock, declaring _the law in the case justified the action. He stated that the games in which Paddock appeared were not authoriz- ed by the French Athletic Federation nor conducted under collegiate aus- pices, In the afternoon, however, Gen. Plerce declared that Paddock was not representing the A. A. U. but the University of Southern California, in France; that the university sanction- ed his participation in the games, that the French Federation had authorized the games and that they were strictly of an intercollegiate character. He offered documentary evidence in suhport of his statements. Evidently some had not been fully informed as to the case before yester- day’s meeting. Support Is Pledged. The federation was addressed by a number of prominent government officials who pledged their support, among them being Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby, Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, Maj. Gen. Hines and Ad- miral E. W. Eberle. Lengthy reports of progress‘in the work of the wom- en’s division of the federation were i by Mrs. Herbert Hoover and Miss Lillian Sherttler. Col. Henry Breckinridge, president of the feder- ation, also reviewed the work of the organization for the past vear, specifi- cally mentioning the mission of the fed- eration and emphasizing that it dealth with the constituent member and not the individual. b A resolution calling upon Congress to provide for a national memorial athletic stadium here was introduced by Maj. C. Eugene Edwards of this city and unanimously adopted. Sev- eral organizations were admitted to membership in the federation and an alliance formed with the Phillipine Athletic_Federation. with the feet planted firmly in the sand. A wsort of ‘“squeese play” is mow ecalied for—in whick the clubhend squeeses the ball out and up. The binde must hit directly into the xand about two inches back of the ball, and it must hit kard—so hard that the impact of iron ngainst the sand will force the ball up so that the binde, passing quickly through, will eatch it and loft it up and onto the green. S The great trouble ‘that players have with this shot is due to iack of mental discipline. They fear some of the sand will shoot into their eyes. It will—but the player must learn to disregnrd that, and the head must be kept stationary throughout the stroke. Be care- ful never to lose the sense of com- plete relnxation at the beginning of this shot, which perhaps more than any other requires delicacy and precision in the back swing. (Copyright, John F.
