SPORTS. HOLDERS OF WORLD MARKS ARE LISTED 31 Champions to Compete in A. A. U. Title Games in New " York Tonight. EW YORK, February 25 ().— Track and fleld stars from three foreign countries and from 18 States of the United States| seek individual titles in the Natlonal A. A. U, championships in Madison Square Garden tonight. Among the entries are 31 American, French, Swiss, Canadian or intercolle- glate champions, eight world record- holders and 10 owners of American rec- ords. Seraphin Martin and Paul Keller of | France bring their brief American tour to an end in this meet; Switzerland is represented by Dr. Paul Martin, and Canads by Phil Edwards of the Ham- 1lton Olympic Club. Sera Martin and Keller are entered| in both the 600 and 1,000 yard events | but probably will confine their efforts| to one or the other. So largé are the | flelds in these features that three heats will be run in each. Briefly here's the way the meet lwh‘ in advance: 60-yard dash—Chet Bowman, Newark | A. C. defending champion, but xn‘ stn(er New York University, and Karl Wildermuth, New York A. C. the fa-| vorite. Claude Bracey, Texas fiyer, llso entered. 70-yard high hurdles—Lee Senlmln University of Illinois, defending cham- | jon, certain of tough opposition from y Beard, Auburn, and Johnny Mor- | riss, Southwestern (Louisiana) Insti-| tute, | 300 yards—John W.

Once we swing the arms out from their natural hang at the sides to take hold of a golf club we find the hands and wrists opposed, as in the accompan: sketch. This feature of tu\( is only accented when put- ting is discussed. But after watch- ing the stars in action I am con- vinced that opposed hands or wrists is a feature in the play of every stroke from drive to putt. The sole difference between the position of the hands in putting, where the wrists remain opposed HANDS OPPOSED Aanyr f.LosLs on LB -nus ANGLE. FINGERS DO THE. GRIPAING throughout the stroke, and in driv- ing, is caused by the firmer grip for the latter. In the long shots we hold the club in the grasp of the fingers. In putting only the finger tips are employed. Note the lett hand preparing to grip the leather for aJong shot. Its back faces the hole being played ere the fingers grasp the club. Let us s2e what happens when this is done. Metzger's free illustrated leafllet on “Correct Grip for Driving” will be a big ald to you in rectifying any errors in your grip. Write for it.

INGRAM BRANDS GRID SHIFT AS WORTHLESS Says Army-Navy Troubles Are Due to Personnel—Apathetic Toward Spring Drill. By the Associated Press. BERKELEY, Calif., February 25.— W. A. “Navy Bill” Ingram, new foot ball coach at the University of Cali- fornia, has disclosed what he plans to do on Western gridirons and_added a bit of mformation about the East. He arrived here last night. Ingram characterized the shift system as & waste of energy. “When a team shifts,” he “the team deception nf 's play by “well conceived and well timed” attacks. Preconceived plans of attack are worthless, he added, saying games are won in the playing. Ingram stressed the need of morale | in a winning team. “If 75 per cent of | the students at California show the same spirit as at Annapolis,” he said, “we can't be stopped.” Ingram said Army-Navy difficulties ‘were caused by personalities. When the | personnel at the two institutions is nled.hellld the difficulties will be “washed out.” ‘The new coach said he attached little fmportance to Spring practice. “No interest is possible,” “without competition.” VON ELM, GOLDEN TEAM Agua Caliente Foes to Join Icrcel’ in Four-Ball Event.

Basket Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER. ‘The short pass attack has long been a dominant factor in basket ball offense. Meanwell has used it at Wisconsin with splendid results 2g0 Red and Blue fives took highest rank in the East, One pet way of working it is for three of the attacking players to mill back and forth toward the bas- ket as shown in the accompanying diagram, the ball being advanced by quick and short passes from one player to the next ahead as the lat- ter cuts by. The criticism that it exhausts the players is not sustained by fact, as both the Wisconsin and Penn men- tors proved in the past that this attack did more scoring in the sec- ond half than during the initial period. All attacks that get the ball to the vicinity of the basket are without avall without accurate shooting. (Copyright, 1931.) It ch:llengu the regardless of is bigger, 1811 J4th St. NW.

Bannockburn Will Hold Fall KE“_AR ANI] B'_ABK ‘Tourney on Revamped Course BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. TTH reconstruction work on the golf course, designed to eradicate two of the prin- cipal climbs on the layout and to reconstruct many of the putting greens, scheduled to start within a month or six weeks, golf affairs at the Bannockburn Golf Club have pro- gressed to the point where the club Golf Committee definitely announces the annual Fall invitation event of the club will be held this year. This tournament, for many years one of the most popular of the invitation tournaments about the Capital, will be played over a golf course which will be new to most of the visitors, for the course will be changed in many details duripg the coming season. Plans for the changes have not yet reached the announcement stage, but spokesmen for the club say the improvements are scheduled to begin within six weeks. For some time there was doubt as to whether Bannockburn would hold a tourney this year in view of the unset- tled condition of the club and the golf course. Affairs have so shaped them- sclves, according to W. Fred Byrne, chairman of the Golf Committee, that dates for the tournament have been chosen. The dates set by the club are September 16, 17, 18 and 19. The tourney will end on Saturday, Septem- ber 19, which is in line with previous custom at Bannockburn. Although many other invitat'on tourneys end on Friday of the week, Bannockburn has not departed from the old custom of ending the tourney on Saturday. Byrne tells us that the money for some of the improvements at Bannock- burn will be available within a few days and some of the work will begin within & couple of wecks. Bannock- burn is shortly to inaugurate an in- tensive membership campaign, with the hope that the membership may be | filled before the golf s-ason is well un- der way. Members of the club played over hington's birthday in a sweep- stakes tournament, which was won by Leo F. Pass, former club champio with a card of 80-—5—75. Souder finishsd in second place with 98—21—77 and J. Kirchner was third with 92—14—78. The club has joined the Maryland State Golf Association, thus becoming the eighth ization Jocated M: the Maryland association. Most of the local golf professionals were over at the Maryland Country Club of Baltimore today, attending the annual meeting of Lhe Middle Atlantic Professional Oo( lation. A lol( tourney was held this afternoon and was to be followed by a dinner tonight, to be followed by the business meeting. Because several of the professionals nt w-lhlnlwn and Bllurnou clubs are the South, no attempt will be made m outline a definite schedule of events for the coming season, but a tentative line-up of tournaments will be made, subject to ratification at a future meet- lnp of the professional organization. J. Monro Hunter, pro at Indian Spring, is slated to become president of the organization, under the rotating sys- tem, and will be followed in office next year by Ralph Beach of Baltimore, who becomes vice sident this year, Bob Barnett of levy Chase, who is in Hor!d-. is slated to become second vice president.

Most of the pros are of the opinion that the tourney | should be.thrown open to the world, but Gene Sarazen, Willle MacFarlane, Paul an and ‘other pros from outside the Midatlantic sector took down most of the ney in the tournament at ‘Woodholme lllt year, with the title go- ing to Sarazen. ‘The usual Tuesday sweepstakes tour- ney at Columbia was postponed yester- day because of the holiday on Monday, but a tournament will be played nex{ Tuesday. . WERBER TO JOIN YANKS. Bill Werber, former Tech High and Duke University athlete, leaves today | for St. Petersburg, Fla, to join the New York Yankee base ball squad. ‘Werber, the property of the Yanks last season, held forth for several months with the Albany team of the Eastern League so successfully that he was re- called by New York. 25, 1931. Buckeyes Also Have Sturdy Half-Milers—Tolan Has Little Opposition. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. TWO more potential hurdles champions are developing under the instruction of Dr. Frank Castleman at Ohio State University. Castleman, who was a great hurdler when a Col- | gate undergraduate, seems to spe- clalize in the production of star timber jumpers, and Phin Guthrie, Larty Snyder and Dick Rockaway are three who achieved greatness under his tutelage. At present, Castleman has Jack Kellar and John Black headed for Western Conference championships and | perhaps places on the 1932 Olym- pic team. Kellar, a sophomore, showed his skill in a quadrangular meet at Northwest- | ern when he ran away with both the | 40-yard high and low hurdles. Kellar | is a tall, gangling youngster who stands | 6 feet 3 inches and needs a lot more | weight to reach the peak of his abili- | ties. Castleman claims the boy has | better form, more height and speed than Rockaway and is likely to smash the Big Ten records for both the high and low barriers during-the outdoor season. As a freshman, Jack topped the low barriers in 15 flat and the high in 24, but has put on additional speed this Winter. Kellar also is a fair sprinter who can step the century in lnl.u and may be able to improve on that | ime. | “John Black is the other Buckeye hurdling star. Running as_third man in the shuttle relay at the Penn games last Spring, he picked up 11 _yards on his Yale opponent and staked Dick Rockaway, the Ohio anchor man, to a 3-foot lead, which was lost on the home stretch. Richards and Hochman are the other Rurdlers on the Ohio squad and with them showing a fair amount SHINE OVER JUMPS: of skill the Buckeyes are likely to make a clean-up over the timbers in any meet they enter next Spring.

The Spring fleld will be limited the Big Ten this year, and about the only ‘opposition Eddie Tolan of Mich- Illn will have in the 100 and 220 dashes should come from Haas ot Minnesota and Zach Ford of North- western. Ford is a fine sprinter, but lacks strength to go through a long campaign. Letts of Chicago is in a class by himself in the mile run, while | ‘Wisconsin has a pair of good two-milers in Thompson and Wright. Wisconsin Mlso has good balance with Sammy | Behr, the outstanding shotputter of the | conference, and Shaw, off by himself, in the high jump. A better estimate of the capabilities of Big Ten track men will be had March 6 and 7, when the annual indoor meet is staged in Wisconsin's new field | house and a week later when Illinois’| Winter relay games are held. The | Illinois meet is expected to draw one | of the best flelds in its history, with several of the outstanding Eastern stars competing against the pick of the con- ference and Missouri Valley sectors. s s TILDEN BEATS KOZELUH Bill and Hunter Lose Doubles to Czech Star and Pare.
