U. gridiron teams. Not only will practically the entire squad of 1923 be intact, but there are available several very competent players from the 1923 freshmen eleven and also a big squad of incoming freshmen who will be used in the great majori Two notable acqui back and quarterback and the latter v of the contests. ions are DuFour and Adams, the former a half- a quarterback at Georgetown a year ago. And even if these men were not available, plenty of other good vet- eran material is. A glance over the t of last year's men who will be in uniform shows that from them alone two good elevens could be formed. And when are added to these the freshmen from the 1923 squad and the freshmen of this year, who, by the way, are said to be exceptionally promising and certain to beat out some of the old men for regular berths, it may well be realized that C. U. has an exceptionally good out- look. Veterans who are ready for practice this afternoon are: Fitzgerald, Moni- han and_ Lafond, cente Tobin, Regan, Fagan, Dornish, Gallagher, Bickinsen, guards; Aspoas, Vosanger, McGann, White, Shields, tackles; Donahue, McCarthy, Keale, DuFour, ends; Brennan, Adams, quarterback: DeNault, Dunning, Garvin, Moore, Failey, Hardig, halfbacks; Connell, fullback and captain. Two men were los who will be missed— Lynch. At center and fullback both were brilliant. Any athletic team which loses the services of two such players is sure to find difficulty re- Placing them. Tom Gormley, who starred as a member of Villanova, Catholic Uni- . versity and Georgetown eleven ' also on many professional will have as his assistants in coac ing Dr. Jack Hegarty and Ed Lynch. Dr. Hegarty coached successfully at North Carolina_State College for three vears, while Lynch has just grad- uated and_has had no coaching ex perience. Lynch is expected to prove exceptionally valuable in the general handling of the squad. by graduation erts and Byrne ‘and Brogan are much sought members of the Georgetown foot ball squad, now in_training at Orange, Va. Bvrne, a dependable back, and, incidentally, a Washingtonian, not vet reported for practice, while Brogan, regular tackle, has made himself conspicuous by his continued silence. Practice for the Blue and Gray outfit so far has consistetd of little more than drills in fundamentals, but if reports are taken at their face value some of these drills have not been child’s play by any means. At least the bruises some of the candi- dates complain of indicate that. Dick Hurley, who formerly was a member of the Central High School squad, is trying for a place in the backfield of the Western Maryland College eleven. According to Coach Shroyer, he is expected to make good. After a week spent trying to find somebody who gives some promise of making 3 center, the University of Maryland squad is no nearer a solution of the problem of finding somebody to fill Pollock's vacant shoes than it was when it began last Tuesday. Five men have been doing nothing but practice on those things that have to do with playing center and they have had the entire atten- tion of one man, Pollock, last year's pivot, but the progress made seems to be along the lines that nature effects her changes—with extreme slowness. All five of the candidates picked as possibilities at the start of practice welgh more than 170 pounds, with the exception of Lewis, who tips the beam at 138, but play- ing center does not seem to be the strong point of any of them. Ward, one of last year's freshman tackles; Inside Golf By Chester Horton. The wood clubhend is thrown = through the ball with the hands the same as the iron, but the swing, being longer, re- quires a longer degree of control over the clubhead. The throw ex- tends »o far, from the top of the back swing down to and through the ball, that rhythm is more difficult to obtain. For the purpome of maintaining rhythm it has been found that the wood eclub throw is made with a somewhat slower pace. It thus becomes a awing, while with the iron the throw 1s more of a hit. The player perhaps can better understand this if he| couples it with musical terms. Thus ‘the wood club swing is made in some- thing akin to walts time, while the fron rhythm is more in one-two march time. The average player usually swings his irons pienty fast, and his trouble is that, swinging his woods the same way, he is too fast with these clubs. The point in this is slow down the back swing with the wood. Make it rhythmic.

FINAL SWIM MEET . SET FOR SATURDAY Washington's leading aquatic ath- letes will compete in the final 1924 swimming meet to be held in the Wardman Park pool next Saturday. The first event will start at 2 o'clock. Only two events are listed for women, the 60-yard back-stroke and the 90-yard free style. The men will compete in the 60-vard back stroke, 90-yard free style, 240-yard relay and fancy diving. D. C. TO HAVE LACEY’S LOSS HURTS BRITISH POLO TEAM - NEW YORK, September 8.—Louis Lacey, back and recently named cap- tain.of the British team in the in- ternational polo series, will not be able to play in the first game against America tomorrow, because of an at- :inck of shingles, it was learned yester- ay. . In the absence of Lacey, Maj. E. G. Atkinson will be at back, Maj. F. B. Hurndall at No. 3, Maj. G. Phipps- Hornby at No._2 and Maj. T. W. Kirk- wood at No. 1. It is likely that Maj. Hurndall will act as captain, the position he resigned to Lacey last week. Lacey, considered the star of the invaders, has been prevented from playing in the practice contest by an injured shoulder, which, however, had responded to teatment sufficient- 1y to-'permit of his participating in the -first contest. The English lost a practice game Saturday, by 8 goals to 5, to a quar- tet ,composed of Karl Hopping, J. Cheever Cowdin, Maj. Phips-Hornby and Capt. Guest. O'NEILL ADDS NET HONORS IN DOUBLES Maurice V. O'Neill, for two years singles champion of the Municipal court tournament, added additional laurels yesterday, when he shared in the doubles triumph with H. C. Trigg in the final match of the 1924 tour- tussett and McConnell were downed, 6—3 5 O'Neill and Trigs advanced to the final round by defeating Garnett and Wilson, 6—1, 6—2, while Russett and McConnell eliminated Van Pelt and Coe in the other semi-final, 7—5,6—2. Louis I Doyle, who directed this year's Municipal court tournament, is arranging an intercity champion- ship match between,Washington and Baltimore. Doyle plans to stage this event next Sunday at the Tidal Basin courts. Play will start at 2 o'cloek. THREE MEN IN PRO TITLE GOLF EVENT ready to begin practicing W will leave Washington this week for ITH one of the qualifiers from this section already in the West, in preparation for the event, Fred McLeod of Columbia and probably Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase, French Lick Springs, Ind., where the championship of the Professional Golfers’ Association will start next Mon- day. Leo Diegel, who finished in a tie for fifth place at Chicago in the Western open championship last Saturday, already is in the West. McLeod plans to leave Washington Friday for the scene of the championship and Barnett has not been notified as to his right to play. Decision in the Barnett case hinges on the edict of Ernest R. Anderson, secretary of the P. G. A, as to whether Mel Shorey incurred a two- stroke penalty by smoothing the sand in a trap at Columbia on August 25 while his ball remained in the hazard. If the two-stroke penalty was incurred Barnett goes to French Lick, while if the penalty is not im- posed Shorey will go. Opinion of the pros seems to be that the penalty will be imposed. Clarke Corkran’s victory in the gold mashie tournament held at T. Suffern Taylor's private golf links at New- port yesterday places him in the list of formidable contenders for Max Marston's amateur crown, which will be in jeopardy ten days hence. In winning the gold mashle by a shot over Jess Sweetser, Corkran defeated a field of several of the leading ama- teurs of the nation, including the Present champion and last year's amateur champion. “Ducky,” as he is known ‘to his many Washington friends, has lefeated Marston several times in match play in and around Philadelphia in the last three years. Columbia jumped into first place in the interclub series yesterday by a decisive 14-to-3 victory over the team of the Indian Spring Golf Club at Columbia. Another scheduled match— that between Washington and Ban- nockburn at Washington—was post- poned. Indian Spring won but three matches, with F. E. Lewis and S. R. Speelman winning their individual matches. A summary follows: K. F. Kellerman, Columbia, defeated H. A. Knox, Indian Spring, 4 and 3; De Vere Burr. Columbia, defeated J. V. Brownell.

LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN NEW GOLF BALL NEW YORK, September 8.—The new type of golf ball under considera- tion by the United States Golf Asso- clation has been given a tryout at the national links of Southampton by members of the British Walker cup team. A tournament yesterday re- sulted in the discovery that there f: only 6 yards difference in the dis- tance it is possible to hit the present standard ball and the new ball, which is larger and lighter. The ball used in the tournament was 1.68 inches in diameter and weighed 1.65 ounces. The present standard ball is the 1.62-1.62. Cyril Tolley, captain of the British team, with a favoring wind, made a drive of 274 yards with the new ball and 280 yards with the standard size. Against the wind he got 264 yards vvlllih the new and 270 yards with the o ‘Tolley’s score with the new ball was 77, compared with the 76 in the qualifying round of the invitation tournament with the standard ball last week. Yesterday’'s tournament was won by Eustace Storey, with a 78_as the result of a handicap. W. C. Fownes, former United States champion, said the new ball did not respond to half-hit shots like the one in general use now. All the players noted greater height with the new variety. Making him handy in his slow paces. Making him handy in his quick paces, Breaking him to stick and = ball. Teaching him polo. He should first be made familiar with the stick be- fore a ball is struck from his back. Use a mevere bit at first, easler ones as he is trained. Teach him to turn to right and left by haad and pres- sure from the leg. Now' ride him in large, wide curves lessening the cir- cles until he can do the smallest cir- cle at his fastest speed. The best practice for a palo pony is the “bend ing course,” which is made as follows: A line of sticks about seven feet high, about an inch square, with rounded edges, should be set up eight yards apart, perfectly straight in the ground, but' not too deep as it should be easy o knock them down. Cantor your pony zigzag between the posts, at first slowly, accelerating the speed as the pony becomes familiar with what Is desired of him. When it is possible a second line ot posts should be set up exactly oppcsite the first line, and 20 yards from it, so the pony can zigzag up one line and down the other. It is of great advantage to practice the bending course with another pony as the competition is interesting to both animals. When he can do his bending perfectly, at a good speed, the pony is about made. Polo is a means of encouraging in- terest in what was a stanch friend to man In the past. It would be sad, indeed, to see a horse in the future only in museums along with the dino- ur and other prehistoric animals. THIRD ROUND IS ON IN FILIPINO TENNIS Play in the third-round singles of the second annual Filipino tennis tournament was to get under way today at 4:45 o'clock on the Monu- ment courts. C.

Three doubles matches are expected to be completed today—Soriano-Luna vs. S. de Leon- Ortega, Acantilado-Santos vs. A. R. de Leon-Guevara, jr, and Lansang- Coronel vs. Orozco-Rivera. A. Luna, who took the measure of L. Coronel, 3—6, 6—3, 6—1, won the right to compete in the semi-finals, together with A. Lansang, who downed M. Acantilado, 6—1, 6—3. Yesterday's summary: First round—P.

MITCHELL IS JUNIOR CHAMPION IN TENNIS Duley Mitchell's tenacity, his de- termination to carry on after drop- ping the first two sets to Robert Elliott, enabled him to capture the singlos championship of the junior schoolboy tennis tournament yester- day at Chevy Chase. The scores were 3—6, 0—6, T—5, 6—4, 6—4. Elliott seemed certain to win after he had taken the first two sets in such easy fashion. Leading the third set, 3 to 0, Elliott from then on fal- tered and Duley forged to the front in brilliant style. After he won the third set, Mitchell continued his good work, while Elliott tired consider- ably. Mitchell is a Western High School athlete and is considered one of the best netmen in the high schools. Elliott was the singles victor last year.

D. E. (Ned) Sawyer Tells: The Best Play I Ever Made. I ever played. T HE best play I ever made came during the-hardest match in which It was in 1916 at the Midlothian Club, Blue Island, IIL, and the occasion was the Western amateur championship. In the second round I was pitted against Robert Markwell of the Lake Shore Club, Chicago. Things went so badly with me that with only nine holes still to be played I was 5 down. Plugging away, I cut down this in 4. Markwell, a bit upset, needed lead, but with only three more holes | three putts and I squared the match. to go was still 3 to the bad. Then We halved the first five extra holes. 1 captured the 34th and 35th, and,| Then, on the 150-yard 6th, he pulled playing the 36th, had my chance to haul alongside the obdurate Mark- well. ‘The 36th called for an iron or spoon shot of 180 to 200 yards after a| good drive. Markwell's second car- ried him past the flag, but left him on the green, a few feet from the edge. Unfortunately, for me, and when I came up I found the ball in a hanging lie on the bank of the trap farthest from the green. Th uation looked ¥ bad. Markwell halved the hole, win the match and put me out of the tournament. As for me, it seemed that I would be lucky even to get a halve. Using my niblick, I picked my ball off that bank and laid in 8 inches from the cup with enough backspin to keep it there. Thal let me down be4 mine | went into a sand trap at the right.| he would | his tee shot into a bunker and took two strokes to get out. I was on in one and won the match, then and there, mighty glad that it didn’t run past 42 holes. But the next day John G. Anderson put me out of the run- ning. This tournament brought me an unusual experience. In the first round I plaved against Bobby Jones, then but a bit of a lad in his 14th year, but showing every promise of becoming the greatest golfer of to- day. 1 won from him 2 up and 1 to go.
