Elght games will be played by the local team, the schedule being a stronger one than last year's, even though the number of opponents re- | mains the same. Newcomers on the list are Colum. bia, Haverford and Richmond.

Obviously this is highly important. The Oakland Hills course I found to be one of the most treacherous I ever played. The greens were particu- larly difficult.

INVALID TO GOLF CHAMP Cyril Walker’s Own Story of His Rise | | | i One's | It is better to have some weight to lose | Stamina is necessary, but the sort|{down-hill putt you found it almost impossible to control its length. I made it an invariable practice to play short of the flag on every green. | This left me with chip shots or putts uphill which I could control. The falrways were fast, too, and, because of high winds it was often essential to hold down the length of | one's shots. I soon discovered that it many cases it was better to use a brasaie or a spoon off the tses. For instance, @t the dogleg sixteenth hole, although the water hazard was 275 vards from the tes, there was danger of getting Into it if one used a driver. On this hole I alwavs em- ployed a lofted brassie from the tee. It was my play on the sixteenth which finally won me the title. Another example. Although the twelfth hole measured 575 vards, it was possible to get on the green with a driver and an iron shot. But to try for the green on your second was a very dangerous procedure. The ap- proach was narrow and guarded with doep pits on both sides. I didn’t want to get into those plts and I didn't. I used three strokes to get to the green, content to obtain & par five. The re- sult was that I.never ran up any sixes or sevens. An Innovation fn Training. As to my training, in this I used an innovation.

Inside Golf By Chester Horton. Next to carelessness. thoushtless- ness and laziness ms enemfes of the golter, we find nervousness standing in line to collect his toll of incor- rectly made and poor result shots. The nervous golf- er is better off than the careless, thoughtiess or lazy player, how- ever, for the rea- son that his fault cured. When the golfer is mervous ho is simply per- mitting the con- ditions of play to have an effect on him that thewe cunditions do not call for. He per- mits himself to think something s at stake that is not at stake at all.

EW YORK, January 7—"'They were two easy races.” This terse statement came from a lithe, unassuming youth who had just con quered America’s best athletes in two events and had established three world records on the board track at Madison Square Garden i the Finnish-American Athletic Club games last night. Paavo Nurmi, sensation of Finland, explained, through an interprete: that he did not intend to belittle the efiorts of his opponents, but rather to make plain that he suffered no mconvenience in capturing the mile race, in which the little blonde Joie Ray of C go broke his own world record only to be beaten by the invader, and the 5000 meters, in which he ran step by step with Willie Ritola until the last moments and ther left him far behind. “America is 3 “Its people have treated m somely, and I appreciate the tre- mendous ovation sccorded my per- formance.

The | Finn broke two records in_the mile run, finishing in 4:13 3-5, a full second ahead of Ray's former time. Ray also beat his own record, but his effort was not anough, for Nurmi was three yards aheed. The Finn in the same race established a mark 3:56 1-5 for 1,500 meters, anoth record formerly held by Ray. In e last event the invader romped away from his countryman, Ritola, a new world mark of 14:44 in the 5,000 meters, 10 seconds better than Ray did in 1919. It was Nurmi's night; that could not be denled. There was another on the floor who established two world records and shattered another, but for him thers was no throng of devotees. A native of the United States, and with his ability being tested on this same battleground, Loren Murchison, marvelous dash man of the Newark Athletic Club, ran in form. He cut a fifth of a second from his own 220-yard figure, for 250 meters and ¢ seconds for 30 meters. Then Alan Helffrich of Penn State raced to & mark of 1:03 4-5 in the 600-meter event, ths sixth record- making pe rmance. From the tlme he appsared for warming-up exercise gefore the events of the evening started Nurmi was a hero as tew have been.

DILG, President, lzaak Walton League of America. LL fishing requires long practice before any is acquired. thing like real proficiency What seems to the average observer a simple affair |runners were forward. is in fact the result of experiments and experience of anglers for hundreds of years. Trout fishing requires the most shallow water as a rule, and because of the clearness of the water, skill. Trout live in very clear, cold, vhich makes them easily visible, and because of the invariable nearness of the banks, they have for ages been constantly on the qui vive. The little fish seem to be far awny from home—thls little ribbon of water wandering through the woods seems, ltke & goldfish globe, to have lured the flsh far from a decent sized body of water. makes it necessary for the angler to unfallingly practice the most daretul movements. One of the first mistakes the novice makes is to fish from the banks of the stream. Thie at firét seems perfectly natural, but an enalysis shows the futility of {t. When you approach the stream, you are in sharp relief against the sky—and the trout always has half an eye on that bank. When you loom up liks & glant on top of a mountain, the trout scurry for cover—run under overhanging banks or dive into the ever-present water cress or other ma- rine vegetation. And thes come out for the best fly in your kit. The way to do it, then, is to wade the stream—the one way of fishing which to the beginner seems like the least practical. When you wade right into the trouts’ home, 1t does appear = vinch that they would then, if ever, make for cover. But this is not the case. Bvery- body knows that fish which live in surprised me, my game in the Metro- politan, which I now declded to en- ter, gave me even more of a shock. The Engineers course is extremely diMcult. But at the oud of the first day I was leading the fleld. A 73 in the morning and a 71 in the afternoon had given me a 144, one stroke better than Willie Macfarlane. A 74 on the third round allowed me to maintain a tie for the lead, but on the last round I slipped a bit, taking a 77, and Mike Brady, coming This_is the inclosed type furniture delivery truck which has been the choice of the ‘Wm.

This circumstance, 8o surprising in view of my lack of preparation, leads me to two conclu- slons: First, that too much training is not advisable; second, that condi- tioning vourself for a big tournament is extremely essential. In my month of enforced idleness 1 probably had not had enough regular exercise and so slipped a little on the home stretch.

They do this becaute their food consists largely of things that float down on the surface of the water. They like to gst near a little eddy where the floating flies and bugs whirl around for a minute, or where several gather to- gother to make a real mouthful. Thus the angler can with (m- punity walk upstream in the creek, casting his flies ahead of him and letting them float back a few feet on the current. The angler with part of his body submerged is not highly visible—at least not so bie as he is when he stands towering on the bank. The trout are facing away from him, and he can get fairly close to them Why it is that the trout do not take alarm from the crunching of the stones under the angier's boots 18 a matter not easily understood. To the human ear such sounds under water are pronounced. But when you come to think about it, deer, moose and other harmless animals have for centuries waded the streams without hurting the fish, and this may account for the apathy of the trout, provided they can hear the sounds. \ o ANOTHER ONE A very practical equipment.
