TENTATIVE ELEVEN . PICKED AT HARVARD CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 17. —A tentative eleven selected from Harvard's varsity foot ball squad was to get some strenuous drilling today. Coach Bob Fisher plans to drive his men at top speed through practice during the next week. In spite of rain and a wet field, Har- vard's foot ball players held both their sessions yvesterday. The first team squad was broken up into three elev- ens, thus giving some idea of how the plavers are ranking as the campaign begins. The three teams started their drill- ing on plays in the morning, and con- tinued this work in the afternoon. Nothing like this ever has happened in Cambridge before on the second day of practice or so long before col- lege has opened. The first team included Sayles and Doherty, weighing respectively 165 and 177 pounds, at ends; Pratt, 195, ‘and Lindner, 187, tackles; Kilgour, 200, and Hoague, 190, guards, and Adle, 170, at_center. Adie, Sayles, Hoague and Lindner played in the Yale game last year. Lindner, how- ever, was the only starter at New Haven. Sayles and Doherty both were transferred from the -backfleld squad yesterday. The line averages about 183 pounds in weight. The first choice of backs included Stafford, at quarter, and Coady, Maher and COaptain Cheek. Coady weighs 195 pounds, Cheek 177 and Maher 164. Coady began the Yale game at tackle last year, and both Stafford and Ma- her were starters. During the after- noon session Miller replaced Coady, adding about 10 pounds to the back- field welght. Ned Mahan had a Kicking se for Coady. Ellison and Maher. Capt. Cheek joined after a time. four appear to be the best punters Rob Fisher has this year.

NEW YORK, September 17.—The ranks of a formidable contingent of foreign challengers in the national singles tennis championship had thin- ned to a Spanish star and a French star today after a series of sensational struggles with a determined American host in the third round. Rene La Coste of France was called upon today to meet the youthful Olym- plc and national doubles champlon, Vincent Richards. Manuel Alonso of Spain was bracketed opposite Amer- ica’s- No. 2 player, Willlam M. Johnston of California. The latter match was scheduled for 3 p.m., one hour before the La Coste-Richards en- counter. The defending _champlon, William T. Tilden, had as his oppo- nent & fellow townsman, Wallace Johnson, chopstroke veteran of Phila- delphl, who eliminated the Australian, James O. Anderson. Jean Borotra, hero of France's gallant fight to an- nex the Davis cup, was eliminated yesterday by the former champion, R. Norrls Willlams. Borotra_ won only two games in each of the three sets. Howard Kinsey of California, by putting out Jerry Lang of Columbia University, earned the right to oppose Williams today at 2 p.m., one hour after the start of the Tilden-Johnson contest. THREE SANDLOT GRID CLUBS WILL GATHER Three sandlot foot ball combina- tions, the Wintons, St. Peter's and St. Stephen’s, will hold their first meet- ings tonight to plan for the Fall cam- paign on the gridiron. The Wintons, winners of 25 out of 30 games played during the past three seasons, will gather at Twelfth and E streets southeast, at 8 o'clock. Denny Southern, coach of the St. | Peter’s eleven, will meet all candidates for his team at St. Peter’s Church at . Stephen’s booters have been staging outdoor practice sessions and will talk things over tonight at 7:30, at the St. Stephen's fleld.

Practice was somewhat extended yesterday, the military drills being called off for the day. The extra time available gave McEwan and his as- sistants a much-needed opportunity to do important work. The kickers had a long punting drill, Yeomans, last year's quarter, getting good distance and height. The scrimmage was light. Trapnell's good work in_the backfield continued to please the coaches. Harding was driving the varsity backs at quarter during most of practice. An extended workout. VETERAN MATERIAL ABOUNDS AT YALE NEW HAVEN, Conn., September 17.—Poor old Yale! Poor Old Eli!_Poor old Bulldog! Bow! Wow! Wow! They're shedding copious tears up here in New Haven. Whenever they think of the coming of the 1925 foot ball season, now nearing the threshold, | strong men hereabout break down and weep. Yes they do—not! They're quietly making preparations for a few hot times in the old town in spite of certain and sundry losses and in the face of a schédule almost as bristling as that of Penn. | For, balancing up tne gridiron ledger, the Yale foot ball firm still is one of the strongest in the East, with its tangible assets something like 19 or so “Y” men against 1924 losses amounting to 9. It's a good thing that the Government doesn't collect taxes on varsity letter men. When Head Coach Tad Jones kept running in a procession of substitutes last season, making the Yale after- the-game line-up appear like a page out of the telephone directory, he evi- dently knew what he was doing, al- though no one else did at the time. The motive has just been revealed. It was to get ready for the 1925 sea- son. How well he succeeded is now evident by the number of experienced players he has ready to step into the holes vacated by Messrs. Pond, Scott, Uuman, Lovejoy, Bench and Eckart, all of whom have now passed into the great beyond of memory, taking their places with Hefflefinger, Camp, Stagg, Black, Jones, Coy, Hinkey, Sharpe and other heroes of bygone days. The Eli squad, 60 in number, now is hard at work on Yale Field, adjacent to the Bowl, which will soon be the scene of a string of three games that will shed more light on the Yale situa- tion. At the present time the outlook appears to be bright—even brighter than Yale men would have one be- lieve, LM SIDATE T Walter Koppisch, all-American half- ack, will play professional foot ball this season. EASTON TOPS SHORE LOOP IN ATTENDANCE EASTON, Md., September 17.—A careful study of the books of Claude D. Wheatley, secretary of the Easton Base Ball Club, reveals that the local the Eastern Shore League series, prob.- ably leads the circuit in attendance and did much to maintain the league nancially. age attendance at each game was 750, a fine tribute to a team that was in the cellar practically all the time. Last year the total attendance at games plaved at home was 33,203. This year it was 32,999. During 1926 Easton paid $4,339.95 to visiting clubs and received from other clubs while playing away from home only $3.- 663.12. These figures show that Easton pald out $696.83 more than was received. The stalwart support of the home fans was shown by the fact that in nine of the games at the local park the attendance exceeded the thousand mark, while this mark was only reach- ed on two occasions when the team played away from home, These ex- ceptions were a holiday clash and the opening game at Dover. Crisfleld gave the poorest support to Easton and Salisbury perhaps the best. Cambridge, ultimate winner of the champlonship, was the biggest gu‘tslde drawing card at the Easton eld. POLO AT PHILADELPHIA TO BE RESUMED TODAY PHILADELPHIA, September 17 (#). —Soggy flelds due to heavv rain caused a postponement of the polo matches scheduled for yesterday at the Philadelphia Country Club and at the Bryn Mawr Country Club. ‘The semi-final match between Rock- away and Fort Leavenworth in the national intercircuit championship and the contest betweén Bryn Mawr and Fort Oglethorpe for the President's Cup will be played today. is explained by its unique construction. ‘Woven on a curve, of ; single yi‘;'m of stur- ly, smooth, multi.ply fabric.

Quite the con- trary, you let the clubhead go free for its maximum of work on the ball. The moment you introduce body lunging or sudden jerks of power you paralyze the clubhead’s resiliency of flight be- cause you then are quitting with the clubhead and begining with the body —that is, in lunging you try to hit the ball with your body, not with the club- head. The most understandable parallel T can find to fllustrate the delayed hit is the action you would make with a hammer when driving a nall. You know exactly how that is done, or how an ax is swung. In neither of these would you introduce the least body action beyond the natural, rhythmic motions of the body that follow the swing of hammer of ax. The same thing identically takes place with the golf club and the player who gets onto that fact begins to play tip-top golf in quick order. Figure 1 shows the golf club at the top of the back swing—a mashie. (The wood club should be swung back only a very little more than this) HE hit with the head of the gol gathered for the maximum wall can I delay the clubhead and still hit f club is delayed in the forward swing arms, body and flying clubhead are lop on the ball. “But how the dickens with it2"” the golfer well may ask. Here the feet are supporting the weight on about equal terms. Since the mashie weighs only a few ounces, the player has been able to take it up to this position, let us say, without any great struggle with it—that is, his muecles are free and loose, just barely controlled, as they would be if he had an ax in his bands. From this point he moves toward the ball, arms and |hands first, letting the mashie head | swing in back some. Near the ball, the pendulumlike action of the blade naturally increases its speed so that it catches up and clicks snappily into the ball and through it. If any pres sure of the body is exerted to hurry this club any in its natural swing, it immediately becomes obstinate and will do its work poorly. That is be- cause pushing on it causes arm, wrist and shoulder stiffness, which, in turn, rob the swinging clubhead of all its speed and resiliency. Figure 2 illustrates how you hit directly down into the ball rather than stralght out through it. Hit down, and the follow-through will take care of itself. (Copyright, 1925.) CYRIL WALKER TELLS Surprise Turnesa Gave Farrell and Costello J ago through the interest of members Joe, as assistant to Jock Dowling, the Scarsdale professional, had shown pretty good form, and the members conceived the idea of pitting him with Dowling against Johnny Farrell, the famous Oak Ridge professional, and Louis Costello, then of Quogue Field, but now the professional at the Milburn Country Club, in a best ball match. They evidenced their faith in young Turnesa by putting up $500 for the match, which was played in 36 hole: Farrell and Costello knew that Tur- nesa was a likely fellow, but had no idea he was as good as he turned out to be. 1 Nor were they upset by the developments in the early part of the match. Johnny and Louis established a lead of 5 up at the end of eight holes. 3 It was this time that Joe Turnesa placed in evidence an educated putter that gave an entirely different light to the case. That putter has re- mained with him to this day, he being team, while finishing in last place in | For the season just closed the aver- | especially efficient in approaching to the cup.

An eighteen-hole play-off found Tur- nesa again holing his long putts. If I remember aright, he and Dowling finally copped the $500 purse, Such a good showing in his first match with professionals, and_espe- clally against such cracks as Farrell and Costello, both of them experi- enced tournament contestants, natu- rally attracted Johnny and Louls to young Joe. Prior to that they had looked on him only as a kid. They pro- ceeded to give him good advice, Cos- tello particularly instructing him in the use of his irons, which were then his greatest weakness. Joe worked hard, and in due course became a top- notcher. ‘The story is that at the 1924 na- tional open at Oakland Hills, Detroit, which 1 was fortunate enough to win, Turnesa sald to Walter Hagen: “I'm trying to copy you in my golf, | Walter. | To which Hagen replied: “Don’t copy me: I'm a dub. “If you're a dub, to be a dub. too.’ BANKERS OPEN SEASON ON DRIVES TOMORROW Commisioner Fenning is to roll the first ball tomorrow .night at Conven- tion Hall alleys when the 14 teams of the Bankers’ Duckpin League open their seventh season.

What significance this will have in terms of foot ball success at Ithaca this season remains to be seen, but the outlook, once bright, now seems veiled in leaden clouds. Princeton Squad Hit. Princeton mourns the loss of some valuable freshman line material through faculty action, and the plebes at West Point would be the richer in point of foot ball material if several college foot ball players had been able to meet the conditions of scholarship which are imposed upon entering cadets. It a roster of qualified foot ball players who will not be available for college elevens throughout the coun- try because of inability to keep up with the work of the curriculum could be published, the list probably would occupy a column or so. Little is said about this, but the melancholy fact remains and the only bright aspect of the situation is that it goes to prove what many critics of college sport are inclined to overlook, or ignore, that after all the educational institutions of the land—in large part at least—are chiefly Interested in edu- cation.

Mrs. Stephen F. Colladay, another of the ranking golfers, succumbed in the opening round. There is a strong probability that as a result of all this the low score for the tournament may be turned in by a member of the consolation squad, should one of the fallen stars find herself and show up in her top form. Up until yesterday Mrs. Tilley and Mrs. Willam Freeman held the honors, each with a low 97. Mrs. Freeman was eliminated in the second round by Mrs. H. A. Knox. Mrs. Tilley is one of the consolation semi- finalists. Yesterday, however, Mrs. Lawrence Steela of Indian Spring turned in a 96 as she advanced to the semi-finals of the title play. Many of the dopesters now pick Mrs. Steele as the winner in view of her consistent play over this course, which is conceded to be one of the most difficult in the city.
