Francis Ouimet, former United States open and ama- teur titleholder, has been an Amer- fcan standby in these international affairs, “Nibs," as he is called by his friends, 1s a master of his mashie. He uses an interlocking grip and a slightly open stance. This open stance is common among star play- ers for iron shots. The reason Is that it permits them to better v ualize the line to the flag. The point he stresses in mashie play is to hit the ball firmly and crisply on line. Most of us know how ‘futile many tuch approach shots are. The majority take a full swing for a shot requiring a half swing. ‘Then we try to soften up and gain but half the distance. Ouimet believes in cutting down the backswing, if anything. and in_hit- ting hard and firm. His experience is that a ball so pitched will never fall short, ) Why continue to slice when the fault can be absolutely cured by fol- lowing a few simple inswwctions?

In this group are Charley May, Revelle Jones, Bernie Jones, Henry Gallotta, Charles Silverman and probably Charley Rich. Jackie Lewis, Harry Altemus, Duryee, Farran and Marks are among those of the 1927 squad expected to be at_hand again. Dan Ahern, who tutors Western High clevens, also will have to find succes- sors to highly capable performers. Out- standing members of last Fall's Red and White combination which have been lost are Bob Wilson, Cox, Doyle, | Schneider, Park, Mitchell and Garber. | Most of these boys also were depend- | ables on other athletic teams, in addi- | tion to foot ball. | Eddie Brownfield, dashing little half- back: Cunningham, Hunt, Cook, Owens, Seeds and Fletcher are among those | from the 1927 Western squad that are | expected to be at hand next month. | It is not likely that Western's new | athletic field will be ready for use b | the foot ball squad as much work to be done on it.

August 30— Specially designed light-weight foot ball pants will be issued by cadet managers to 72 varsity and 74 plebe candidates for places on the A, B and C Army squads. Two complete sets. one for practice and the other for games, will be issued cach man. The game set weighs 7'2 pounds and the practice set 15. The new pants have been specially Biff Jones, head coach, and Frank Wandle, the trainer. They weigh only 3 pounds and are made from material similar to airplane cloth. Pants used in practice weigh 7 pounds. Both pairs are custom made, all cadets on the A and B squads having been measured last Spring. ‘While the game pants are 31 pounds lighter than those used for practice, Wandle stated that no safety factors have been reduced and that each player will have the maximum amount of pro- tection from injury. Headgears and shoulder pads also were specially designed by the coaches and trainers of the Army teams. Jones expects that the 50 per cent re- duction in weight between the game and praetice equipment will speed up his men.
