URMI IS AS TALKATIVE AS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE By the Ascocioted Press BLSINGFORS, Finland. Dec 29.—Paavo Nurmi, Fin- i running marvel, who never has been loquacious, is described as even more ret- feent since he returned from his tuor- of the United States last year. The sports writers take every op- portunity to tease him about this, and sone writer says that “while it may be right to emulate President Coolidge’s reserve when visiting him in Washington, it is not proper to accord silent treatment to the Presi- dent of Finland.” Nurmi's first meeting with President Relander of Finland, on returning trom the United States, is said by the m- newspapers to have consisted of the following dialogue. “How did you rica?"” “Well.” “What impression did President Coolidge make upon you?” “Yankee.” “Didn’t you tire of establishing new world records?” like your stay in “What did you think of the request to sit for a bust of yourself?” “Clever idea.” Jow do you like the bust?” “Why? “‘Because.’ The President, according to the newspapers, then gave up in despair. My 25 Years on the Gridiron BY WILLIAM A. ROPER, HEAD COACH PRINCETO IVERSITY XXXII—My Play at Princeton. ' I entered Princeton in the Fall of 1898. None of the colleges had first year rules then and any freshman was eligible to play on the varsity team. 8o the squad, the, first day college opened, had a large number of enJ thusiastic freshmen -on it, one of whom was myself. One of the traditional Princeton sustoms wag the cannon rush between the members of the sophomore and freshmen classes. Before the rush started, junior and senior members of the foot ball squad carefully in- spected the freshmen ranks and yanked out any foot ball men whom they thought had shown any ability on the field. While this inspection was going on T was torn between &on- flicting emotions, I wanted to get in the rush and yet I hoped my showing on the foot ball field justified my he- Ing considered valuable enough to be saved from the slaughter, I finally was taken out of the ranks just be- fore the rush started and was told I could get back in it as soop as the first impact was over. This appraisal of my foot ball ability did not seem to me particularly flattering. Survival of Toughest. T never will forget those first two weeks of practice. The development and selection of the team was largely & survival of the toughest in that the Idea of the hardening .process of the early season consisted mainly of en- couraging severe hodily tests which were suppos-d to eliminate the weaker candidates and strengthen the more rugged. They accomplished the first half of this aim very thoreughly and a week or two of practice used to be enough to drive most of the lighter men to the side lines, with a fair percentage of the heavy ones too. One of the commonest methods of hardening men during my playing days, and it has stubbornly c! rng to » place in even modern practice, was the grand old plan of falling on the ball. T think we spent more time dur- Ing the first few days in this particu- lar exercige than in anything else. At ts best, it always seemed to me par- ticularly useless practice, and one of the most dangerous forms of early season training. Even In spite of the stress lald upon falling on the ball, Princeton has been very fortunate in winning many a game bpeause some member of the team refrained from falling on a loo~e ball and picked It up instead. Back in 1895, lferman Suter ran yards ugalnst Harvard after picking up a toose ball. In 1898 Arthur Poe scored the winning touchdown against Yale by doing the same thing, and again John Dewitt picked up a loose ball and won the Yale game in 1903. Other Instances Cited. In the Yale game at New Haven in 1907, E4 Booth made Princeton’s only teuchdown by recovering a loose ball in midfield. Sam White won both the Harvard and Yale games in 1911 by refraining from falling on a loose hall and picking it up fnstead. Joe Scheerer made the winning touch- down against Yale in 1819, and How- ard Gray recovered a fumble against | Chicago in 1922 and ran over 50 vard: for a touchdown it seems to, me 1 have good lu'horlh for saying it is a mistake for any coach to waste his ume tca(hlng his players to fall on the bal And l regall falling on a ball my: self in the Yale-Princeton game of 1899, which luckily did not cost us because we were able to ds afterward and Arthur o6 was equal to the emergency with his fleld goal in the last minute of play. This particular instance is ex- Ny vivid, because I could have cked up that ball more easily than fell on it and 1 could certainly have made several s and perhaps a touchdown, 1 distinctly remember that as 1 lay on the ball it seemed like w full minute before anybody dropped on me. Probably it was all of two or three seconds in actual fact Searching through an experienee of more than 25 years of pretty close contact with. the game and a fairly wide study of its records, I cannot re- call more than a few scattering in- # gtances in which any real advantage resulted from falling on a loose ball except when this occurred behind the opponents’ goal line, where, of course, there was no nged of any further gain. .

Representatives of manufac- turers of sports goods were at the an- nual meeting of the American Foot Ball Coaches Asociation today to dis- play silk foot ball pants, weighing 3 to 4 ounces, in a score of colors. The silk pants, resembling fine lin- gerie, must be worn, over harne furnishing protection from the falls to be expected in the course of afternoon’s play. The harness, how- ever, is lighter than an old-style pair of foot ball’ pants Shoulder pads and_headgear also have been lightened. Time was when a foot ball player carried 15 pounds of equipment. Reduction to a minimum will send 1927 models Into action with not more than 8 pounds excess bag- age. e coaches started thelr annual meeting with a recommendation from the board of directors that a halt of 2 seconds be called on line and huddle shifts. The rules committee will be asked to impose the time limit of the shifts. ERRAS ST TR S NAVY FIVE EXPECTED TO SET A FAST PACE ANNAPOLIS, December 20.—With a December record of four victories, ineluding one over Calumbia, last vear's intercollegiate champlons, the Navy hopes to achieve a record in hasket hall on a par with the fine per- formance of its foot ball team. Basket ball, as foot ball, is' being handled by a new coach this year, John Wilson being in charge. Wilson, for a long time one of the most highly regarded persons con- nected with athletics at the Naval Academy, has for the first time taken charge of a varsity team. Wilson was the plebe coach in three sports, foot ball, base ball and basket ball, and has for many yvears been the chief Navy scout against the Army team. For two years he has been an assistant varsity coach for foot ball. The team has not assumed its final form as vet, and the two players most certain of plages are Capt. Ham- ilton and Graf, the guards, the Navy leader having been taken from cen- HERMAN SUTER, ‘Who' Distinguished Himself by Grabbing a R Dk {or'a Touch- Gown in 180, stead to intensify the training in the actually easfer matter of picking up a loose hall and getting away with it. 1 do not believe in teaching a player to fall on a ball at any time, because in the heat of a game some one will certanily do it at the wrong time and cost us yards or a score. In my own case, I remember wish- ing that I dared disobey the positive orders we had been given and run with the ball instead of falling on it. 1 prefer to take a chance of losing an occasional fumble for the sake of get- ting a chance to score an eccastenal touchdown and to eliminate the risk of hurting a player in an exereise which is far more dangefous than it looks. AllL this aside, however, T did the work gsked of me and made progress. in my second year I played in many important games and was a lar thereafter. My position was end rush. (Copyright. 1926.) ¥ PETE VAUGHN. Basket Ball Coach at Wabash College. The push shot from the chest is hetter than a low underhand shot, be- cause the latter has such a low start- ing point that a guard could stop progress of the ball with his hands. The push shot is shorter, too, and ! therefore more accurate. When vou shoot for a goal follow the shot by going high into the air after the ball rather than walting for it to come down as you stand flat- footed. You get hoid of the . ball sooner and can shoot or pass with- out being blocked, the In the push sh works nicely in thers is power the whole body tr; (or basket n:;d as accuracy \ull in practice and in games, and {n. the effort to cage the ball. This is ter and placed in that position. Dennett, C. L. Miller and Schuber, the last named the foot ball back, are in the lead for the forward positions. F. Smith and Lloyd are fighting it out for center. Both are tall fellows, the latter being the fleet end of the eleven. Hawever, Smith, a great pla\er around the basket, seems tn have the lead.

Some players use the low underhand shot with good effeet, but it is not the one that nearly all of the goaches of good teams insist on today. The push shot may be practiced in your own backyard, or in your own old barn or shed. Every boy should have his own basket ball and his own basket and then he can practice many of the coaching lessons he gets in The Star Boys Club every day. He need not wait for the whole team to p<t together. The push shot requir much practiee, as Coach Vau hn points out, and this practice the may have on his own time, The boy who practices the most will become the greatest star. And every boy, besides wanting his team to win, wants to be a star. Tomorrow — Center jumping by University of Illinois eoach. (Copyrixht. 1926.) il ot 0 ENTERS CATALINA SWIM.
