of the big games last year.
At the end of last season an all
star team from the Canadian Vets
played the combined college teams of
Oregon Agricultural college and the
university of Oregon on Multndtbah

won by the narrow margin of one
goal. Several such games will be
arranged this season as appetisers for
the fans.
All-star Trass Planned.
It also la planned to pick an all-star

BCD GOODWIN' COMIVG BACK
Former Great Swimmer Prepares
to Re-enter Competition.
Bud Goodwin of the, New York
Athletic club, probably the greatest
all-around swimmer and water polo
player ever developed In this coun
try, has begun training and will re
enter active competition next month.
Bud has been in retirement for
nearly five years, having spent a
greater part of that time In the army,
from which he emerged with the rank
of major. He swam his first race In
1900, under the colors of the old
Knickerbocker Athletic club. Good
win has won metropolitan and na
tional championships at all distances
from 50 yards to a mile, and for
years was a star forward on the New
York Athletic club championship wa

t "It won't take me long to round
into shape," Bud said, "and I'll be
ready to have a shot at the next met
ropolitan championships. I'm doing
my training In the open-air pool of
the Brighton Beach baths and at the
New York Athletic club."
JirV.W ATTEXDIVG BALL GAMES
Hejdler Claims People, Come Out
to See Heavy Hitting.
According to President John Hey
dler, the National league will show
better attendance records this year
than ever In the past. Heydler bases
this prediction on the fact that more
persons attended games in his league
In the first half of 1921 than during
a similar period of the 1920 campaign,
and last year waa recognised as the
most prosperous in the history of
baseball.
Heydler attributes this marked at
tendance in the face of Industrial
conditions to the heavy hitting, which,
he claims, has provided added Interest
to the game. He denied a less livelier

One of the biggest attractions at the county fair at Gresham last week was the exhibits put on by the youthful exhibitors of the boys' and

The display of calves, pigs andi sheep shown by the boys' club members formed an .especially attractive showing and there was tot competition
for first honors. The showing of calves waa declared to be tn a class by itself. Miss Ethel Calkins, county club leader, expressed the belief

THERE are two very important
things to bs remembered in the
golf swing One without the
other will not amount to much, so I
mention them together and Insist
that my readers and pupils never
swing at a golf ball without keeping
both in mind.
One Is the follow .through, the
-ther Is permitting the club head to

ment forward haa been made with
the body. These are simple things
to know and simple to do, yet the

two vital things than in any other

It matters little what one does In
the golf swing, whether It be a full
or a three-quarter swing, whether the
atance or the grip Is correct, or
whether other details are right or
wrong. 80 long as the player does
these two things a good shot is likely
to result.
These points are first to be taken
Into consideration In golf instruction.
They should be made as plain as

fundamentals can be learned best
with a putter.

pitching against the Giants. Waddell
was leading by a run in the seventh
lnnine.
Rube walked the first Giant and
hit the next batter. He fanned a
couple in his customsry easy fashion
and had two strikes on another when
he happened to see through an open
gate a picnic wagon passing by.
Waddell threw the ball so tar over
the catcher's head It bounded into
the gate and disappeared. Rube came
running in at top speed, past the
batter and his catcher, yelling "I'll
get It I'll get it."
Through the open gate he sprinted,
with several of his mates in hot pur
suit. When the catcher reached the
open street he saw Rube clambering
atioard the wagon, uniform and all,
and he knew he was finished for the
day.
Both the runs scored for the Giants
as a matter of course, but the visit
ors managed to win in the ninth,
which saved Rube from a panning.
Ted Sullivan, old-time manager and
player, originated the word "fan,"
nowadays one of the most familiar
terms In the vocabulary of an Ameri
can. He tells how it all came about.
"I waa managing the St. Louis
Bfowns in the early '80s." said Sulli
van, "and there was a certain rabid
enthusiast who used to bother Comls
key and the rest of the Browns be
fore and after the games. He would

"Finally he picked on me and

ward in the least degree. When you
hit the ball do not atop the club, but
let It go on through.
This Is the golf stroke. After this
becomes a habit, apply the same
theory to the drive and the iron shots.
Naturally, it will be done in a dif
ferent way, but keep this Idea In
mind, that the ball must be hit first
vlth the club and that the club must
go through.
The follow through has been much
written about In golf. It has been
bald tftat a ball hit by a long driver
will stay on the face of the club for
several inches. As no one haa been
ible to photograph this successfully,
the actual distance that the two are
together cannot be determined. With
some players it might be as much as
tight or ten inches.
The ball hit or swept away by the
fast moving club head first flatten
rut on the surface of the club to
.ilmost three-fourths of Its diameter.
It must then rebound from the club.
The longer the follow through the
mora control ons will have over the
oall and the longer Its flight will be.
Waitilng for the club head to come
onto the ball has been described as
the proper timing of the shot. Most
golfers will know it by this name.
Harry Vardon described the timing
exactly when he used the expression.
'The weight follows the club."
In timing the shot several things
are taken Into consideration. There
is the transference of the weight,
ihe return of the left heel to the
(round at the moment of the impact.

Bezdek Has Job Building Team.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Sept. 24.
The husky Penn State gridiron war
riors have once more donned their
moleskins and this week began train
ing for one of the most gruelling sea
sons In years. Thirty-five men re
ported to Coaches Bezdek. Harlow,
Hermann and Martin, Included in the
number being about a dozen members
of last year's strong freshman squad.
Four regulars are back on the job
this fall and the rest of the aggrega
tion Is composed of last year's sub
stitutes. There Is a big question
mark hovering over the Blue and
White football outlook this fall and
all eyes are being focused on Hugo
Bezdek. the so-called "Miracle Man.1
to see if he can repeat this year. This
year the team has lost seven stars,
which means that Bezdek must prac
tically rebuild his entire team.
bitting the ball exactly In the center
01 the club and other details.
To accomplish all of this one must
have perfect physical balance. The
dub head starts down toward the
ball, gradually increasing its speed
until it is at Its greatest when the
ball is reached or a few Inches after
ward. Ajiy attempt to hurry the club
at the top of the swing is all lost
pct'on.
The duffer or the beginner has a
most difficult task in waiting for
that club head to come in contact
with the little sphere before trying
to help matters along with a body
movement or an attempt to thrust
the arms forward.
No one can make any - progress
without practice and concentration.
One cn make up for the lack of a
r'ft in natural balance by tuition and
practice. The old idea that prac
tice makes perfect applies to golf
more than to any game I know.
When there Is no proper timing of
the shot and no follow through, the
result is almost invariably a slice,
the greatest enemy of the duffer. To
perfect the proper timing and then
fail to follow through Is the cause of
all sorts of trouble, but it is prin
cipally in direction that the shot
suffers when the club is not per
mitted to complete the stroke.
There Is a noticeable difference
in golfing styles among the leading
stars of tne game, but they all are in
practically the same position when
(he ball is hit. which means that all
pros ana all high-class amateurs
agree that the only proper way to
hit the ball is with perfect timing
and a follow through. It is this thst
has led me to believe that these two
things are the most Important to be
considered in learning the game.
There la Vardon with his perfect
w'ng, often referred to as a golf
poem; big Ted Ray with his .tre
mendous swipe at the ball and long
swing; Abe Mitchell and J. H. Taylor
with their short compact swings;
George Duncan with, his lightning
like motion, and Alex Smith with his
sway, all obtaining the same results
because of the proper timing.
Long Jim Barnes does not drive
the same as Walter Hagen or myself.
Hagen and I have styles that not
similar, yet we all agree on the im
portant point in discusriop ,
One should be In exactly the same
position when the ball Is hit as he
was when addressing It. So it is
necessary to pay close attention to
the address In order to improving the
timing. Don't stand too far away
from the ball as if you were afraid
rf It.
Don't, on the other hand, get too
close. One can gauge this by the way
he wants the club to bit the baU.

Sprint and Distance Record
to Be Considered.
SCORING .ABILITY POINT
Norman Ross Differs From Smith's
Opinions in Regard to
Several Stars.
BY NORMAN ROSS,
World's Champion Swimmer.
Ernest Smith, ex-Paclflc coast cham
pion swimmer and now writing on
swimming subjects for San Francisco
papers, raised an Interesting question
IIVSIYV'
U Vl-' M
recently when he set forth the names
of the men who In his estimation are
the ten greatest swimmers of today.
The question involves more than
rating of the swimmers on their speed
for any given distance, for both
sprints and distance events must be
taken into, consideration. Tbe dif
ferent styles of swimming also enter
Into it.
Perhaps a good basis of estimation
of Individual worth would be the
scoring ability of the different stars
tn a world's championship. Here are
fmlth's first ten.
1, Norman Ross, America; 2, Duke
Kahanamoku, Hawaii; 3, Ludy Lang
er. Hawaii; 4, Frank Beaurepalre,
Australia; S, H. Vernot, Canada; 8,
Bill Harris, Hawaii; 7, Warren Keal
oha, Hawaii; 8, Pua Kealoha. Hawaii;
9, Bob Skelton, America; 10, Perry Mc
Giilivray. Ross Is Champion.
Smith says: "In placing' Norman
Ross at the head of the list, account is
taken of the fact that Ross is world
champion middle distance vand dis
tance swimmer, is a creditable sprint
er, holding the national indoor cham
pionship for the hundred at present,
swam second in the backstroke, and
is a strong breast stroke performer.
His point getting at the recent Olym
piad alone entitle him to premier
place.
"That Duke Kahanamoku is en
titled to second place is not ques
tioned, for the Duke is the greatest
and most consistent sprinter in the
world. He won the 100 meters at the
Olympics, setting a world's record.
Ludy Langer swims Into third place
by being the world's fastest middle
distance man. This year he won the
national quarter, half and mile cham
pionships and was second to Rosb in
the 400 meters event at Antwerp."
. Chicasro Mas Cosier.
There Is plenty of room for argu
ment with Ernie, especially from this
point downward. The appearance on
the scene of the Chicago phenom, John
Weissmuller. complicates things. I
am inclined to think Weissmuller will
soon depose the peerless Duke. To
date, however, he hasliot done enough
swimming to convince the old-timers
that he Is a bona fide champ, and not
a flash In the pan.' A little more sea
soning and there will be no keeping
htm from a place near the head of
the list.
In international competition there
are no distances shorter than the
hundred, so swimmers who are sprint
ers pure and simple have not so much
chance in the scheme of things as we
are considering them. I think that
the placing of Beaurepalre of Aus
tralia and Vernot of Canada In fourth
and fifth placea is a good move.
Work Is Fast.
These men have done wonderful
work In the last year. Beaureoalrt
after several years' retirement, came
out In 1920 and broke the world's rec
ord for 1000 metres. This year In
Honolulu he swam the fastest mile
ever swum under international condi
tions. Vernot placed second In the
1500 metres at the Olympics and third
in tne 400.
Arne Borg of Sweden, whom cable
dispatches credit with breaking' the
marks for 500 and 10 00 meters, may be
another phenomenal performer. If he
lives up to the marks credited to htm
he will be far and away the fastest
distance man ever seen.
For the succeeding places on the
ranking list, a breaststroker and a
backstroker are Included. Warren
Kealoha won the world title last year,
and is without .a peer today, unless
Perry McOillivray should get back
Into harness. That Is unlikely. Skel
ton has won most of.the breaststroke
races in the last year, and should
prove a strong contender for laurels
in International competition.
Big Porses for Havana. Horsemen.
The Cuba-American Jockey club
will give away more added money In
stakes during the coming winter
meeting at that track. Thomas Mon
ahan, who has succeeded Charles A.

Sectional Strife Over Baseball
Springs Vp in Virginia.
CHICAGO. Sept. 24. Judge K. M.
Land is, - commissioner of baseball,
agreed to straighten out the cham
pionship tangle in the Virginia league,
where a merchants' baseball feud has
sprung up among the hills famous for
sectional strife.
Until recently the Wilson, N.- C,
club led the league. Several games
were protested because . the Wilson
club was alleged to have violated the
salary limit. President Bradley of
the league threw the protested games
out, allowing Portsmouth, Va, to take
first place.
Then the feud began; merchants of
Wilson, irritated at the loss of the
championship, agreed n to trad,)
with any Virginia firms. The Inves
tigation will be conducted after the
close of the Virginia league season.

bachelor of science degree from
first-rate university. Already he Is

the returns which his exceptional
ability is sure to gain him in the big
leagues. But he will stick to baseball
as long as he continues at top speed
"I was surpr'sed with my reception
by veterans of the big leagues, who,
had always thought, possibly would
be prejudiced against a college youth
In their ranks, he declared. "How
ever, when I Joined the Cleveland club
late last season I was promptly ac

The University of Alabama prom

T
CONFER ON RULES
Number of Important Points
Agreed Upon.
CLARIFICATION IS GIVEN
Game of 1921 Will Be Watched
Closely; Balance In Defense and
Attack Vital Question.
BT WALTER CA!tfP.
(OnpyriRht. 1021. by The Orfsonlsn.)
NEW YORK. Sept. 24. (Special.)
The chief subject of discussion In
football circles in the last few days
has been the interpretation placed on
the rules by the meeting here of some
200 of the men who will have to en
force these rules this season and who
will have to train their teams under
them. A number of important points
were agreed upon by the coaches and
officials assembled.
The rule regarding the substitution
of players was felt to need a clarifi
cation In connection with the phrase,
"the change has been made." It waa
voted that officials would rule that
as soon as the substitute had re
ported to the official and designated
the player who was to retire, then
the change had been made.
Fair Catch Discussed.
Another point which was discussed
arose In connection with a fair catch
when the time for the period elapsed
Immediately after the ball Is caught.
The rule permits the team making the
fair catch the privilege of their kick,
although they may not put the ball
In play by scrimmage. The question
arose whether. If the kick was made
and the goal not scored, the ball be
came automatically dead Immediately
after lt.was kicked.
It was ruled that the ball remains
In play after.the kick and the oppo
nents may catch It and run It bark.
Or, in the case of a fumble, the side
kicking It may recover It and actually
may make a touchdown. In other
words, the time of the period con
tinues until the ball again becomes
dead and the referee blows his whis
tle. This, of course, does not apply
In the case of a try at goal from
touchdown.
Clipping; Is Interpreted.
The rule regarding a forward pass
which becomes Incompleted behind
ths goal line of the passer was ruled
to apply whether the pass was made
from the field of play or from behind
the goal line, so long as the pas
touched the ground, and thus became
Incompleted, behind the goal line. Of
ficials were requested to observe a
strict Interpretation of the rule for
bidding the offensive side on a for
ward pass from Interfering with the
defensive side.
It was derided that on the kick off,
if a player of the kicking side touches
the ball, even without catching it,
before It was advanced 10 yards, the
ball Is not In play and must be kicked
off again. The officials at the meet
ing determined to Interpret "clipping."
or cutting down from behind by
throwing the body laterally across
the legs of a player not carrying the
ball, as unnecessary roughness.
Man In Motion Defined.
After much discussion of the "man-In-motlnn"
clause of the rule govern
ing shift plays, the meeting voted to
request the rules committee to sp
prove and suggest a wording for the
principle expressed in the following:
In all shift plays an Interval of
time shall be allowed to elapse suffi
cient to permit the officials to see,
first, whether the play is legal, and,
second, to determine whether the ball
was snapped while the men were In
motion." It Is hoped this will lead
to additional clarity regarding the
phrases "man-ln-tnotion" and "both
feet stationary" in the rules govern
ing such plays, or Tnen in motion, be
fore the ball Is put in play.
Close Watch to Be Made.
All of these are most Important
matters, for it Is upon the rules ana
their interpretation that the game
will rise to further high standing or
retrograde to a les satisfactory posi
tion. The question of balance be
tween attack and defense Is a vital
one and the game In this regard will
be studied closely this year by many
experts. There have been those who
bejjeve the forward pass had made
such advances ss to overshadow the
running game, and who believed foot
ball was changing into basketball.
So far these contentions have not
been proven, but the gams of 1921
will be watched closely on account of
them. And It is on the basis of the
rules and their Interpretation that the
coaches must devise their plays and
train their men.
