Kinnan, The plan provides for the division of trotting or pace events into three dashes, cach heat to be a race. The first dash would be at three-quarters ef @ mile, the second seven-elghths and the third any distance over a mile. It is optional with the driver whether he starts his entry of the first heat im the two succeeding heats. Purses will be hung up for each neat, apd will be disthibuted among the first, second and third horses after each dash The new system, Mr. Kinnan be- leves, will make “laying up” on the part of drivers impossible as no au tion pools will be sold on dash events.

Familiarity with the ideals and principles of these members would lead one to| rightly choose the Webster aggre-| gation, representing the Murjorie Webster School of Expression and Phys- ical Education and the Mets of the| progressive Metropolitan Club. The importance of physical exam- ination is being recognized through- out this country, and in all modern communities the world over. Accu- | rate thinkers, people of foresight and vision are urging physical vigor, not as an ultimate end or goal, but as an immediate objective, as a means to other ends and high ideals. The body is & chassls, an Instrument or means through which the owner's self finds expression in all his or her work and thoughts. It is therefore important to keep this body ready to tune in with the impressions and expressions of the outside world. In the ferti 20i1%f the nermal mind and body 4 rected by an understanging coach | with high ideals, athletics will keep in tone or recreate the individual, or in an unfavorable environment, will destroy and dlssipate the resistance of the individual. Athletics, as other potent forces, embodies tremendous power for good or evil. Contrary to the popular belief that telligent mind s most foeund In a frail body, a presented at Columbia Uni- versity In the Spring of 1323 showed the reverse to be true. Another knotty problem faces the couneil and one which again and akaln comes up iu in- formal discussions on the side lines of the present basket ball series is the matter of coaches. Once more the majority supports the stand taken by the women's division of the National Amateur Athletic Feder- ation, that of limiting coaches as well as ofMcials to women and preferab! to those women trained in technical knowledge and possessink worthy objecti When this has been ac- complished one may look for basket ball and other sports on a higher plain in the catalogue of human in- tercourse. The Marjorie Webster- Metropolitan ‘game is & good example of what might be expected. Both teams are coached by women, vet that game will stand out this Season as one combining steady and clever playing with the highest type of sportsmanship. Junior High Field Meet. Now that the basket ball season is well under way the directors of phys- ical education of ‘the several junion high schools are looking forward to thelr Spring program. The ma'n point At {ssue is the annual Intér-Junior High Spring meet. The nature of the occasicn automatically determinas upon which gports the most stress will be laid both in olass time and in the after-schoof period, for it is in these hours that the giris are coached for the “grande finale” and it is In this situation that the aims and ob- jectives are found. It s the hope of these directors, by anticipating this event, to present to the girls a meet differing from that of last vear's, a meet {nvolving higher objectives. The inter-scholastic fiekl and track meet of last June was the first'in the nnals of the District junior high schools.

On the whole it was the same kind of track meet that would have | been produced for girls in their early teens 10 years ago, the kind that was evolved for the college youth and euitable for that closs. In the light thrown on present day athletics by the collaboration of physiologists, puvchologlsts and educators, that type of track meet is as out of dn}l» as a program of physical education de- voted to German and Swedish calis- thenice and apparatus work. However, the responsible parties were aware of what was transpiring and realized that it was a means to an end, that of actually getting to- gether the junior high schools. In the first vear of existence for three of the tlien four junior highs, there was too much on the tables for the personnel in guestion to evolve a new type of field meet. In the realm of athletics as in every other depart- ment of the junior highs, there is much ploneer work to be done. The Junior High teachers physical education are at work on a new type of Spring athletic meet to replace the model now in use. By she middle of March they hope to submit a set of very definite plans for the approval of Dr. Rebecca Stoneroad, supervisor of girls’ physi- cal education for the public and for the approval of their respective prin- cipals. At their meeting last Thurs- day at the Columbla Junior High these teachers decided to resolve the Spring event into a field meet.

And so we had gone until the last half of the twelfth, Then we got a start when Gowdy missed a foul fly from Ruel's bat only to have Muddy cpme back with a two-bagger. Walter, who had afmost won the game himself when last at bat, came up again. He slashed into a bill which Jacksoni, in his eagerness for a try at a double, fumbled. This meant two on and one out, but it took a safe hit to stow the old game away. It was like a picture from Frank Merri- well's life or a -setting which some great novelist had arranged.

He managed teams in the American League—New York and Boston, but he was not successful with either of them because he did not have the players necessary to de- velop success in the circuit. Chance was a catcher when he be- gan to play in the major league and the fact that he could handle pitchers well unquestionably had much to do with his success on the Chicago club. He knew when his pitchers were in good condition and was a fairly good judge as to when they should be taken “THe Distilled MOTOR OIL _ Is Golden® Softly, silently—not even the low, regular breath- ing of the motor is heard.
