TLOXI, Miss.,, March 6.—The lobby of the Hotel Biloxi, social center of the Wash- ington Base Ball team, swarmed with players last night as a shipment of mainstays ar- by train and automobile. e arrivals included Goose Gos- lin, Fred Schulte, Joe Kuhel, Buddy Myer, Ossie Bluege and young Bob Boken.

The arrival of the latest batch of athletes had a sentimental dash here and there. Clark Griffith, again suffer- ing with lumbago as a resuit of 36 holes of golf the day before, sat up in bed with the suggestion of a film in his eyes when Goslin came in to see him. “What's the matter, Pop?” asked Goose with some anxiety. “Nothing now, you is a tonic.” 'OE CRONIN took time out after a round of atrocious golf to make up the batting order of the Natfonals to be adhered to during the next busy week of practice and, If satisfagtory, to continue throughout the seas It runs like this: Goose, the sight of | N SPORTS. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. 1 ED GRILLO, sports editor of | « The Star, says that the young- | sters with the Washington ball squad at Charlottesville show un- usual promise.

BY H. C. BYRD. O what extent the present banking situation, and what may develop from it, will affect college athletics for the remainder of the scho- lastic year is something to which those interested in Spring sports are giving no little thought. In some localities it is possible that a complete suspension of activities may result. In others, severcly curtailed schedules may be necessary, while it is possible that in some instances normal conditions will prevail. The whole difficulty, as far as the col- leges are concerned, is that the schedule on what colleges in other localities do. One may be well able to go through a normal program, but those with which it has engagements may find such a program impossible, 5o that even those colleges that are able to carry on nore mally may find such a course impossible, HAT the banks do depends on the adjustments that are worked out both in law and among them In Maryland, for instance, & law designed to stabilize the situation has passed the Legislature and been signed by the Governor, but the ban! 8o far have been unable to reach an agreement among themselves and with the State banking commissioner as to the percentage of deposits that are to be paid out to each depositor each month. Until this is known, it is not Dpossible to make plans, because ane can- not foretell just how much money will be available for use in the Spring montnas. Much of the doubtfulness of the situation lies in, as far as Mary- land is concerned, anyway, the extent w which the strong banks adjust their payments to the level that the weak banks can pay. FOR'X’UNATELY for the colleges, the banking situation has devel- oped at a time when athletics virtually are at a standstill, except for the training various squads are getting. Therefore there is no acute need for any immediate action. Unless the situs ation is worked out within the next twa or three weeks, sufficiently to enable withdrawals of enough money on which 10 operate, then it is a pretty sure thin that the colleges will have to take sol pretty drastic action as far as this year's activities are concerned. schools are in bad enough shape any- way, and it will not take much in the way of additional setbacks to cause serious difficulties, S vate control are going to have many problems on their hands between now and Fall, entirely outside of athletics. For instance, the president of one college says that he has not yet had the salary checks for his profes- :grs dr)llwn I(IDr last month because all e college funds are impounded in bank and cannot be drawn on. 3 further says that if his college is allow to draw out only a small percentage of its deposits, then he does not see how his faculty cen be paid. This probably is the first experience of this kind that colleges in this sec- tion have had since the Civil War, but down in Mississippi members of the faculty of the State university, State college, and State college for women went for about 18 months withous getting their salaries. However in oni Wway or another they got by, and thaf should indicate to all college men in this section who may be somewha$ inconvenienced temporarily that the world is not going to end immediately because a pay check is delayed or be- cause there is no cash in the house.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NNAPOLIS, Md, March 6.—Grad- uation will deprive the Naval Academy basket ball team, which swamped the Military Academy quint here Saturday, of three regular players and three substitutes. The regulars are Elliott Loughlin, great scoring guard; Porter Bedell, captain and guard, and Jimmy Kastein, center. The substi- tutes are Clif Campbell, guard, and Warren Christie and Bob McAfee, for- wards. These first classmen, with Sid Ran- dolph and Ron Rankin, from the sec- ond class and Fred Borries, Bon Dornin, Bob Mendelkorn and Art Becker, from the third, all will get the “N-star,” highest athletic honor at the academy given only to those who hayve taken part in a winning game against the Military Academy in any branch. Navy people and many others see Elliott Loughlin as an all-Eastern play- er this season. He was placed on the second team as a forward last year. This year as guard he has scored the fine total of 241 points, an average of better than 16 to & game, and has played a strong defensive game, dis- playing exceptional ability to grab the ball whenever it came within reach. During the season the Navy team scored 772 points, an average of 48% a game, to 466 by its opponents, an aver- age of 20%. ED TEAGUE SHOOTS AN ACE.

Even if he tries out some new idea, which seems to work for a short while, the chances are he will soon return to the same old ways. About the Cures. NSWERING the next question— some cure to work on—is not quite so simple. And yet it is far from being a hopeless matter, as many thousands from the ranks of the aver- age have shown. In the first place, it might be well to consider the most common faults that lead to lack of improvement and so many dismal trips to sand and rough, to thicket and woods and water. ‘What are these faults or habits? addressing the ball—in taking a stance. There is a lack of ease and comfort. The feet are too firmly planted—the grip is too tight—the legs are about as pliable as hydrants. ‘The first thing to consider is to stand a trifle straighter, with a more relaxed most harmful of all golfing faults. 1. Too much stiffness or tension in |in ad | than in terms of power. Don't be in any great hurry to hit from the top. Let the left hand and arm play their part in getting the down swing under way. 4. What about head lifting? ‘This fault usually goes back to the same old enemy—hurry, tension, tightness. If you can make a habit of thinkifig only of swinging at the ball, rather ;lth thinking of trouble ahead, it will elp. In too many cases the golfer is think- ing ahead of his swing. If your mind is on some bunker or trap ahead or upon some other hazard in the way, it is almost impossible to keep the head still. Subconscious action will lift it to see the result in advance. Think with or back of the swing— not beyond it. A series of exercises, which will let the arms and body work independently of the head, will be helpful. 5. Grip and stance. Make a closer study of your grip and the correct method of standing to the ball. The chances are your left hand is too much around the club shaft— not over it sufficlently, where power must be developed. Grip more firmly with the left hand than with the right. Keep the left foot slightly advanced dress—more along closed lines. Here are just a few suggestions, which | if ‘given a fair chance, will be sure to | produce helpful results. But none of | them can be taken for ited at any time. If they are, the player will al most_certainly revert to his old meth- ods in short order.
