Pixlee, former directo! reorganization wil to its intramura lege, Missouri, and for the next four years, at least, the head of ath- letics and physical education at George Washington. Pixlee left here a few days ago, after a visit of three weeks, dur- ing which he had conferences with almost everybody of real impor- tance at George Washington. He spent his time here going in' he expects to find it when he takes ing his plans accordingly. After several conferences with President Marvin, Pixlee talked with members of the faculty, with endeavor to find out just what Kin He left here with the opinion that also much encouraged because of he encountered on every hand. “There's no doubt I have quite & problem on my han sald Pixlee just before leaving, “as it scems very much as if we shall have to begin to build from the ground up. Jetic field, virtually facilities, and there been very little sy the vears to la strong system of athletics.” Everybody Helps. “One factor about the though, that has pleased me immensely | is the spirit of co-operation that seems to pervade the university. Everybody | 1 have talked to apparently is willing to help in any way that is possible for | them to help. Not one seems to expect | much at the beginning and that will | be a big help in getting under way. It| is a big job and a hard job, but I be- lieve we shall get somewhere with it and build up something that will be worthy the name of the university.” Pixiee, while a foot ball coach, does | not intend to coach the varsity eleven this fall. He expects to start his own work from the ground up and will coach the freshman team. He plans to hire a grid coach to take care of the varsity’s interests this year and beginning next year will himself take charge of the varsity and continue to coach from then on. “It_is useless for me to waste time this Fall trying to build up a good var- sity eleven. Most of the men will be playing their last year, all the work I do with them would be lost and I would have to begin all over again next year. For that reason. it scems to me to be | the intelligent thing for me to devote my whole time to this year's freshman | squad so that I can carry them right | through when they become eligible for the varsity we will have them fairly well schooled in the kind of foot ball we want them to play.” That George Washington is going to give Pixlee full support in his plans is shown by the apparent intention of the university to supply him with whatever no dressing room apparently has assistants he may need to carry out i ‘Tales of a Wayside Tee By GRANTLAND RIC . ‘There is one shot, among a list of others, in golf that produces a violent sensation in the breast of every average player, not to mention a few thousand above the average; and this includes those in the higher 70's and the early 80's. ‘This shot is nearly always & mix- ture of temptation and bewilderment. It looks simple enough, but it has cost a countless number of strokes. It hap- pens with the ball resting in a fairly shallow trap or bunker just off the green, where the wall of the bunker is to0 steep to permit the use of a putter. | There is the ball, sitting nicely on top with’ the pin only 10 or 15 yards aw It looks stmple enough, but in a vast majority of cases the at- tempt to chip the bail out results in a sidden fluff that carries about 3 feet and still leaves the ball in its sandy e. There is something which seems to forbid an_explosion shot where the bunker wall is only a foot or two hig} |and the ball is well back. The other Tooks much the simpler way—until it |48 tried. | Yet it is & simple shot if plaved in the right way. The general mistake is made by playing the ball off the front foot |200 far forward with the blade of the niblick laid back. This makes the |effort._extremely dangerous, calling for a perfect stroke, as the niblick more often than otherwise cuts in below the ball under the sand. The simpler and more effective way to play this stroke is to play the ball back off the right foot. and in place of turning the blade of the niblick back to face it in slightly at little more than a mashie’s angle. |The next move is to play the stroke just about the same as a chip shot off turf, There is a slight flick of the wrists, with the niblick blade taking the bottom of the ball or a bare touch of sand, not enough to let the sand get in between the ball and the club head. ITet the blade of the niblick go on through. More important than all else, use only slight body action, and be sure the head isn't lifted. ~ In playing this stroke it is easier to dnnd fairly erect above the ball, not CUPS GIVEN EASTERN WILL BE HELD YEAR FEastern High School's base ball and | #rack teams which won the public high 'school champlonships during the past season and received the silver trophies awarded by the Princeton Alumni As- sociation will hold them for one year.

President Marvin _takes a broad | mauged view of the athletic situation at At | George Washington and says frankly situation, | that he does not care a whoop whether much of a showing is made in the first | | two or three years, just so a real foun- | dation is lald, so that a sound system of intercollegiate athletics and physical | education may be developed for future years, President Marvin also believes that in Pixlee he has obtained the serv- ices of a man capable of building such a system, | “We expect to make a consistent effort to give George Washington the kind of athletics that it should have,” says President Marvin. -“And, person- ally, I do not intend to leave any stone unturned in my efforts to aid our new athletic director to work out a comprehensive and sound plan. Of course, we do not expect our work for the first year or two to show for much, because it is not going to be the kind of work that will be spectacular. “We want to work along .something like the lines of construction of a skyscraper. For awhile you hardly see anything but a hole in the ground, with a ot of workmen moving around, | but nothing in the way of a building | appearing. However, some fine morn- ing you come along and, behold, a great skeleton of steel is high in the air, | and almost before you know it the | skeleton of steel is a great building. “So_ with our athletics; ve expect to dig for a foundation then lay & solid foundation, so that on that foun- dation eventually we may rear a struc- ture the equal of its kind anywhere. I believe George Washington is entitled to that kind of a structure and, for n:;( part, I shall do my best to develop too far away, with almost no effort of hitting. ‘The hands and the wrists must let the club Pead do most of the work | with only a slight, simple flick. This is much harder with the ball played for- ward and with the club face laid back, which is the method the average player nearly always employs. The entire movement has to be smooth and easy without any feeling of effort. Natu- rally it can't be worked where the ball is in a heel print or where the face of the bunker is too steep. An ex- plosion, or at least a partial explosion. is needed under these conditions. But under such conditions there is no temp- tation to try the simpler bunker chip. One of the hardest of all bunker shots to play comes with the ball well back in the bunker near the green, with a stretch of sand to be carried before it reaches the grass carpet. Few| play this shot any better than Mac Smith. Smith, in a case of this sort, lays the face of the club well back, plays the ball off the front foot and cuts in just beneath the ball with a full swipe. He finds this more effective than the explosion shot, which is needed when the ball is resting close to _the bunker's bank and has to be gotten up in a hurry. One of the main features of bunker play is to keep as relaxed as possible, where all natural feeling is to develop exen greater tension. VUThis is one shot where it is neces- sary to keep the back swing smooth and to let the club head have its way. There often is a sudden tightening just | as the ball is to be hit. stopping ‘the downward speed of the club. The bunker shot wouldn't be half as hard If it were not for the feeling of impending disaster, where so many golfers quit on the shot before the ball is struck. Those who tighten up in this stroke are usually doomed. Out- side of the mental handicap it isn't mechanically & hard stroke to play. | 0:09.4 victory over Claude Bracey, the WHO WILL WIN AT POUGHKEEPSIE? When Referee Jullan 8.

The No. 7 man is Columbia, the “Gem of the Ocean,” second in the varsity eight-oared race last year, and a surprising victor in the 1927 race.

The big Red Crew hasn't won since 1915, Simpson Didn’t Know He Could Sprint *Til School Needed Him By the Associated Press. HICAGO, June 10.—A lanky sprinter whose track career was | inspired by the desperation of a high school coach who lacked | a dash man, holds the title of the “world’s fastest human” and & new | record for the 100-yard dash. George Simpson, who will assume a place among Ohio State University's athletic immortals along with Chick | Harley, won his first century race in 1923 after his high school coach, in des- peration, had urged him to come out. Saturday in the N. C. A. A. meet, Simp- son did the “hundred” in an amazing Dixie fiyer from Rice institute. Simpson also set a new meet record in the 220-yard dash, when he trimmed Eddie ‘Tolan, sensational Michigan Negro, in 0:20.8, one-tenth of a second faster than the record jointly held by Roland Locke of Nebraska and Bracey. In 1923 a Columbus, Ohio, high school coach had a good all-around track and field team, except for the lack of a capable dash man. A city meet was coming up and he looked about for a “find.” He found it. Noticing Simpson loitering about the gymnasium, he called to him: Say, you look like a runner. ‘Why don’t you come out?” “Do you think s0?” asked the sur- prised boy. “Well, I'll try it.” The track meet came and to Bimp- son's surprise, he not only won the century dash, but ran it in 104 sec- onds, exceptionally good time for a green high schoolboy. From that time on George concentrated on his track work. He entered Ohio State, after becoming | national interscholastic sprint cham- pion and under more expert coaching started trimming fractions of seconds from his time. Simpson blossomed out at State last year, winning the 100 and | in 220 yard dashes in the Big Ten meet, but bowing to Claude Bracey, the Dixle Flyer, from Rice Institute in the na- tional championships. In his preliminary heat of the cen- tury in the Olympic final tryouts at | Philadelphia he reached the peak of his form. But with success within his grasp, pulled a muscle in a later heat and was denied the privilege of repre- senting the United States at Amsterdam. Saturday he defeated one of the | greatest fields of sprinters ever brought together, in both dashes. Simpson’s double victory, with a first and second by Richard Rockaway in the hurdles, Pete Rasmus’ world record toss in the discus and two points by Ujeheli in the hammer throw, gave | Ohio State 50 points, enough to win the meet. Washington scored 42 points to gmsh second and Illinois was third, with 5 Rut Walter of Northwestern won the championship in the 440-yard dash, winning in 0:47.9 over a fine field, but Virgil Gist of Chicago was forced to relinquish the 880-yard run title to Genung of Washington, who won_in | 1:55. Gist was second. Wilbur Getz of Alfred University, New York, scored | a surprise victory in the mile, dethron- ing Rufus Kiser of Washington in a 4:19.4 race. Orval Martin, Purdue star, was second, a few inches behind Getz, with Kiser third. Dave Abbott of Ilinols again took the 2-mile championship by a close | victory over Manning of Wichita. The time was 9:30, more than a second slower than Abbott's record for the meet. Kane of Ohio Wesleyan, gave up the high hurdle championship to Rockaway, while Steve Anderson suc- ceeded to the 220-yard low hurdle title. Two other champions were beaten and one was forced to share his title. Pete Rasmus succeeded Eric Krenz of Stanford in the discus with a world record heave of 159 feet 17 inches, Wilford Ketz of Michigan was beaten the hammer throw by Don Gwynn of Pittsburgh and Edmonds of Stan- ford joined Warne of Northwestern in setting a new pole vault record of 13 feet 8% inches. when it just barely nosed out an in- spired, but technically deficient, eight from Stanford. The Navy sits next in this imagi- native shell, and the Navy is coached by the father of the Columbia coach. Like Washington, the middies were first or second for a long stretch after the war, winning in 1921 and '22, being second in '23, winning again in 25, and being second again in '26. Our No. 3 man is Syracuse, coached by the venerable Ten Eyck. Syracuse won the last regatta before the United States entered the war and the first one after the war Blazing th BY ALAN J.

Shut your eyes, imagine the race, and what do you see? “C" is right, for the race seems to be between the three “Cs,” California, Columbia and Cornell, with Washington and Navy having’ outside chances. Columbia will make a strong bid to rule the waves once more, and has already defeated Navy, Yale, Penn, Prince- ton and M. I. T. Too bad that Yale, Harvard and Princeton aren't in this race!

The sprint rivalry between George | Simpson of Ohio State and Claude | Bracey of Rice Institute is far from | being settled, but there is an inter- | esting story told about their last meeting, during the Southern Meth- odist relays at Dallas. A wind amounting to gale propor- tions was blowing, it seems, and in the preliminary heats Bracey was clocked in no better than 10.5 and Simpson in 10.6 for the “100.” Officils of the meet then decided to reverse the path of the sprinters, to have them going with the wind in- stead of bucking it. Thereupon_in the final Bracey outstepped Simpson. The watches got him in the remarkable time of 9.4 seconds, two-tenths faster than the official world record. The breeze, in other words, cut approxi- mately 1 second from the time, thereby eliminating it from any con- sideration for entry on the record bool | HOG BIG TEN HONORS By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 10.—Illinois and Michigan again dominate the Big Ten | in major athletic championships.

The Conference base ball season closed Saturday with Wisconsin drop- ping to third place in the final standing, by splitting a doubleheader with Min- | nesota. The even break gave Iowa a clear claim to second position, one-half game behind Michigan. Tilinois took its major title in foot | ball, suffering but one defeat. Michi- gan tied for first place with Wisconsin in the basket ball struggle, each team winning 10 and losing 2. _Michigan gave Wisconsin both its setbacks, and | also handed Illinols its only reverse in foot ball.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. NY one who has followed na- tional sporting trends closely must wonder whether or not the present situation in the West- ern Conference has elements A | that do not appear on the surface. For example there has for some time been a feeling that the Big Ten as at present constituted is somewhat un- wieldly and that a combination of eight universities would not only result in a mere compact system of scheduling games, but would admit of closer super- vision. Towa, for instance, is really out of the geographical line of the Western Con- ference. The Hawkeyes have been re- garded in some conference quarters as naturally a Missouri Valley institution which belongs with Nebraska, Iowa State and other members of the Big Six. Seeks Eastern Touch. 1t would seem to the writer that a de- sire exists in the Western Conference - to come into closér touch with the East rather than southwestward. Pittsburgh, for example, has been spoken of as & very desirable prospect for conference membership, inasmuch ~as it would stand with Ohio State at Columbus and Michigan at Ann Arbor as contact uni- versities between the Middle Atlantic States and the midland Commonwealths. Certainly, the intersectional ‘idea is owing constantly, and an organization ch as the Western Conference, which embraces 10 universities, simply cannot do duty by this organization when it comes to the making of schedules and at the same time develop relationships with Eastern, Far Western and South- ern universities. To say that Iowa is the only university in the conference whose alumni are ac- tive in securing material would involve a state of mind of Polly Anna cast. Or to say that in these two universities alone various methods of subsidizing are practised would be equally ingenu- ous. Shouldn't Dodge Facts. Intercollegiate foot ball will never be really healthful until the colleges come out and say what they really know to be the fact—that no university can es- tablish or maintain prestige on the gridiron which relies upon the normal flow of foot ball material to this or to that institution. A great majority of students have no physical qualifications for major intercollegiate foot ball, and the comparatively few high and prep school boys who are qualified are in constant demand. What is the use of trying to blink an obvious fact? And, also, why players coming up from the secondary schools who have not the means to place them in positions of financial independence as regards higher education capitalize their athletic proficiency in ways that may be regarded as harmful or harm- less as the case may be? | DIXIE’S NEW éIRL CHAMP IS BAMBINO FROM TEE By the Associated Press. Margaret Maddox, mnew Southern women’s golf champion, is one of the longest-driving feminine players in the game. The Atlanta girl consistently gets from 200 to 250 yards on her tee shots and makes many pars for men look the most common fault in golf. | Keep the head still when you swing. Otherwise your shot will be wrong. | Try a simple test as proof. Take | your stance with club back of ball. | Without moving your hands or arms raise the head. You will feel your club gull up from the ball. Or pull your head to right or left. In either case you move the clubhead.
