After I learned the right posi- tion of the feet T made better prog- ress than before. The rubber s practically in the center of the dia- mend. It is of whitened rubber (hard like home plate) and measures 2 feet long and a half foot wide. You can make the rubber out of board as well. It must be level with the surface, but may be on a gradual- Iy sloping mound, making it higher by perhaps 16 inches than the home plate. The pitcher must always stand with at lenst one foot on the slab when de- livering the ball You've seen the game stopped while a protest was made on the position of the pitcher. And it may be a pitcher who has worked for several years. So start right. It not only is an incon- venience to the other players and um- nires, but it will retard y ment In base ball. Get a good grip with your shoe plates, for your feet must hold your body while your body is in a powerful twisting and revolving motion. In de- livering the ball one foot must remain on the rubber.

Swarthmore students home for the holldays report that Washington ath- letes at the college, although few in number, are showing allaround abil- ity that speaks well for their early training under local high school coaches. Arthur Baker Stabler and Bert and Ray Garber more or less in the limelight at pres ent and between the four of them are making marks in seven sports. Ray Garber, holder of the District scholastic record for the pole vault, while only in his freshman year, is a member of the varsity track squad and has just completed a whirlwind season as guard on the varsity bas- Iet ball quint, after playing regularly on the junior varsity grid eleven. He clinched a position on the court team after the start of the schedule and played in only nine games, but headed the list of scorers for those nine contests, in addition to taking third honors for the season. Adelman, another freshman, held the goal position on the junior var- sity soccer eleven, played at center on’ the frosh basket ball quint and now s slated to hold down the cen- ter fleld job on the varsity base ball nine, which opens its schedule next weck. The home folks may get @ look at him when ‘the team encoun- ters Navy at Annapolis on May 22. Arthur Baker, a sophomore, who holds the local scholastic marks for the shot put and the discus throw, tossed the plate far enough in his first year at Swarthmore to set a Middle Atlantic collegiate record of 139 feet 6 inches. ally, he hopes to improve the distance this season Swimming, soccer and lacrosse are included in the atheletic program of Bob Stabler, a third . fills the goal berth on the varsity soc- cer combination and has the substi tute role at the same position on the lacrosse team Two college swimming records are credited to him, both of them being for the back stroke.

C. TITLE ‘Washington's unlimited basket ball crown changed hands last night at the Arcade when the Anacostia Fagles, for thres years champions of the 150-pound class, handed & 23-to-17 set. back to the Aloysius club. A major part of the credit for the victory is being given to Ralph Ben. nie, former Kastern High court luminary and right forward on the Eagle quint. He tallied from the floor eight times and earned one point on a free toss, leaving only six points to be divided among his teammates. Julle Radice got four of thess with a pair of goals from scrimmage, and Smory Mader registered the remafi- ing two. Lee Cardwell, George Madi- gan, Morris Clarke and Bert Thomp- son completed the winners’ squad. Lee Fitzgerald, hign scorer for the Aloys when the Birds were defeated in the second match of the three-.game serles, was held to a total of three points. Birthwright contributed six counters to the losers’ score and Col- lins accounted for four tallles. The first Jewish Community Cen- ter basket ball series ended yesterday, with the Kanahwas taking the titls in a game with the Rialtos, the count heing 38 to 18. The Rialtos outplayed their rivals during the opening period but at Intermission were tralling, 11 to 7, and from then until the final whistle were out of the running. Abramson of the winners led in the scoring, getting a total of 11 points. De Boskey was best for the Rialtos with six counters. Spurting in the second half, the Epiphany Juniors, winners of the 140- vound South Atlantic crown, trim- med the Eastern Preps, 22 to 12, in the preliminary to the Eagle-Aloysius scrap at the Arcade. Schloss and Banta headed the Epiphany scoring column, while Scruggs and Zambreny were best for the Preps.

In a previous article it was stated that the athletes who race from a quarter mile up should learn to run with the body slightly inclined forward at the hips, as it keeps a man well over his stride and forces him to step out to keep up with his tnclined body. In the illustra- tion on the left the runner has the correct position Some runners who have this cor- rect position develop a fault which tends to impede their breathing. They unconsciously stralghten the neck so that it is perpendicular to the ground instead of on the same incline as their bodles. This should be avolded, as any such position which slightly interferes with breathing leads to tuo quick exhaustion.
