Stuyvesant High School Boys Break 440-Vd. Relay Record
Clinton in Tie
For Team Prize
In Title Meet
Fifteenth Street Lads Lower
Time Held 10 Years; P. S.
62 Wins Junior Honors
A new record in the 440-yard relay
by stuyvesant High School ninners;
the double victory of two colored sprin
ters a:;d the competition that resulted
0 a tie for first honors between De
Witt Clinton High School and Stuyves?
ant High School, were the outstanding
:eatures of the high schools indoor
track and tleld championships held yes?
terday afternoon in the 22d Regiment
Armory.
But a few events had been decided
vchen the record for the 440-yard relay,
100 pour. i class, which had been stand
ng for eleven years, was broken by |
the speedy diminutive quartet from j
Stuyvesant. J. Goldberg, J. White, J.
Ferony and C. Traub, running in the j
.rder named for the big "S," travelled
over the slippery rlocr in 52 1-5 sec?
onds, ciipp-.ng one-fifth of a second off !
the old record. They finished about ?
,.ne hundred yards in front of Com
nercial High School.
Eris Dawkins, of Stuyvesant, and Leo
ilandy. of De Witt Clinton, both col- :
c red lads. and the individual star per
formers of the meet, v.ere the only two
athletes to register a double victory. \
Dawkins captured both the 100 and j
120-yard dashes for juniors in master
ty style. Handy came through a win- |
ner, in excellent time, in the same two j
rents in the senior sprint. Both broke
fhe tape with inches to spare over their |
rivals.
L. Ger.tile, of Stuvvesant High
School, who is called the "Joie Ray of'
;he schoolboys," liver up to his reputa- j
?ion by his performance in winning the i
one-mile run. Gentile got off to a fine |
tart aad held commana throughout.
On the last two laps he slowed down.
With victory in sight, he made a re
.?narkabie ?purt on the final lap and
won handily.
The fight for championship honors
was one of the bitterest contested j
,?mong the high schools for some time. j
De Witt and Stuyvesant were both tied :
'or first place with 29 points, while
Commercial and Curtis were tied with
1 point? each for second. Stuyvesant,
however, was the winner in the relay
nships with 15 points. They
:4ave their athletes a mighty send-o'V
snd were not to b? denied that theiri
school was the victor.
. The youngsters of P. S. 62. Manhat- J
tan, had a field day in the junior high i
???-. Nearly every junior
tvent was crcdited to these lads. The I

aaking a runaway for junior honors.
illy in the 75-yard dash were
? outstanding, having repre
sentatives in all three places in the
event.

Penn Fives Scoring Wizard
Danny McNichoI, captain of the
Liniversity of Pennsylvania cham?
pion five of the Intercollegiate
Basketball League, has kept his
team in the lead again by his
sensational foul goal shooting.
His 32 points by this method have
won both league games played
by the Red and Blue, while his
floor goals have earned six other

Ohio State Football
Star Says Basketball
Is Too Rough for Him
/^OLUMBUS, Jan. 29.?Like "Chic"
Harley, Ohio State's first al!
American football luminary, "Hoge"
Workman, star quarterback of the
1920 "Big Ten" football champions.
vows he would rather take bumps
on the gridiron than on a basket?
ball couit.
A year ago Harley set ont to win
his fourth major letter at Ohio
State on the court. Hc got more
than his share of the bumps and
soon declared basketball wasi-ough
er than football. He stuck to it,
however, and won his "O."
Workman, considered as exeellent
material, backs up Harley's state?
ment. It takes more energy and a
lot more wind, he declares.
Tales of a Wayside Tee
-By GRANTLAND RICE
Copyright, 1921. New Tork Tribune Inc.
"Why," writes one who signs himself
1 Duffer, '"is the full shot in golf so
much easier to so many players than
; the half shot? Yet to the better golfer
the half shot is supposed to be so much
I simpier."
The fu'.l stroke is simpier and easier
in many ways or to many golfers be?
cause the timing is simpier.
In the full 3hot there is no regulating!
to iook after. It is merely a matter ot"
[taking a good, iusty belt at the bail. I
But in the half stroke control of the:
swing must be perfect. The force used
, must be regulatcd to a keen nicety or
the effect is wrecked. There are many
fine golfers who would rather have a
! full mashie pitch to the green, for ex
' ample, than only a half-swing pitch.
A full mashie niblick shot from 120 to
135 yards is much simpier than a pitch
of 60 or 70 yards over bunkers to any
r.umber of players for the same reason.
Herreshoff's Case
When the late Fred HerresholT was
playing his best golf and he came to a
, hole that called for a drive and a short
pitch over trouble, he almost invariably
used an iron from the tee in order to
have a longer pitch where he could hit I
the bail with greater firmness and not
ye cal.led upon to inake some 40 or 50
yard ?pproach where he had to get the
bail up. lt was the short pitch of this
j type that prevented Jack Burkc from
' being open champion in piace of Ted
Ray
Coming .to the seventh hole at Inver
nt-ss he almost drove the green. He
was left with a short pitch over a
? guarding trap with his bail only twen?
ty-five yards away. A four here would
1 have landed bim in front of the field.
: But in his keen desire, to be sure of
! clearing the trap, he hit his pitch a
; trifle too firmly and overran the green
.' ihto a trap beyond where he finally took
; a 6. Yet on such a short pitch there
; is always the tendeney to hit the bail
; a trifie too softly and find the bottom
of the guarding hazard.
i In any championship test rare con
j trol is needed on this type of shot
j where the nerves are taut and a com
i bination of firmness and del'cacy must
i be used.
Distance and Control
Distance is always easier to get than
, direction?not great distance, but quite
; enough. *
There are many more slashing slug
! ger3 who can belt the bail but who
i have no ovt idea where it is going than
there are golfers who can keep straight
down the middli with only average
length,
No one minds meeting an opponent
who is long and wild. The one you
have to fear is the golfer who "isn't so
very long, But who is right down the
middle and rarely in any trouble."
Timing is needed to get good dis?
tance. feut both timing and control
are needed to get direction.
And even with the finest golfers this
sure touch must come and go. It is
never constant.
There ave days when a good profes?
sional or a star amate.ur can do almost
anything with the bail. Hc can hook
at one hole and slice at the next. de
per.ding upon the wind or the approach
to the green. But by the next day he
may not riare to take anv such chances,
Douglas Edgar says that he knows he
will have control of any shot he wants
to play if his hands feel thin on that
particular day. In that case he will
work for a slice or a hook in deliberate
fashion to get his approaches close.
But if his hands feel thick he knows in
advance that he won't have the perfect
timing needed to piace his shots in such
fashion.
The Sudden Change
On one day, in the last British Open,
Ahe Mitchell breezes around easily in
a 69. Which is to say that hc gets his
69 without having to work for it.
But just a day later, with the nerv?
ous tension increased where perhaps
he is a trifle over-golfed, ho has to
work his he*ad off to get an 83?14
strokes difference with only twenty-four
hours intervening. If such an abrupt
change can assail a great professional,
it is easy enough to understand why it
should attack a duffer with even greater
fury and with even more disastrous re?
sults.
It all comes back, of course, to a
matter of corirdination, meaning team
play of the brain, nerve and muscle.
When this team play is working
in good order miracles may result.
' But when it isn't only troublo will
follow.
_ "If my head, body, hands and feet
. all feel to be one piece of rnachinery,
| I can score," says Miss Alexa Stirling.
"But if my head and feet seem to be
two distinct things, then I know I am
; headed for trouble."
! Team play ia supposed to feature
! baseball and football. Dut how many
: golfers ever figure that it is also a vital
part of golf?
Tad Jones Coming East to Start
Work With Yale Football Team
New Coach to Pay Particu
lar Attention to Devel?
opment of Quarterbacks
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 28.-The
: engagement of Tad Jones as Yale's
new long term football head coach wil'
begin the coming week, when he will
i arrive from the West. He has left
j Heattle And will take charge of the
i squad before the close of the week.
Because of Yal?"?'.'?' poor showing in
| rudimentary play he ls eager to get
; the squad at work in the gymnasium,
land some of the candidates, notably
! those for center and quarter, will prob
| ably spend three weeks in working
: upon technical details of handling the
'bail before tho outduor season begins.
Jones regards the development of n
! quarterback squad as the keystone of
the gridiron arch, which he jr eager
to construct on a solid foundation be?
fore tho opening of the 1921 campaign.
It was agony for him to witness the
inferior campaigning of the last sea?
son, for Jones was himself probably
! Yale's greatest quarterback, and one
of fts greatest flel<! generala.
Of a galaxy which includes Harry
i Beecher, Vanee McCormick, George
Adee, (?uy Hutchinson and Arthur
Howf, Jones probably shaded all be?
cause of his greater weight and lino
rammlng ability, although McCormick
"xeslled him as a drOB fcleker.
r"ovr candidates wil! recelve speeial
attention during the coming indoor
drill. They are Eddie Jones, the varsity
substitute, who was eclipsing Thorne
Murphy and Herbert Kempton when
he waa crippled; Dan Kelly, former
freshman captain and varsity substi
tute last fall; Joe Oed and Charles
Hearn, stars of the phcnomenal fresh
man eleven the past fall. Jones and
Hearn appear likely to prove spectacu
lar performers if given the drill of I
spring work under Jones's tutelage.
.Jones's lieutenants, ps resident !
coaches. will probably be announeed
the coming week. Arthur Brides, line j
coach; Billy Bull, coach of the punters
end organizer of the scrubs, will prob-j
fihly be reappointed.
The new graduate football commit- I
tee, conslnting of Major Louis Stod
dard, Foster Rockwell, Ray Paige, Ted !
Lilley and Clarence Aleott, are, with ;
the exception of Major Stoddard, like- i
ly to figure extensively in the field
coaching. Kockwell was himself one of j
Yale's most successfu! field coaches,
having developed Sammy Morse's win?
ning team in 1908.

Anderson Leads
For High Prize
In Weeklv Shoot
Also Wins Leg on Buer?
meyer Trophy at Traps;
Brown Takes Club Cup
Seventy-five gunners, the lartrei field
that has shot at Travers Island so far
this winter, took part in the weekly
shoot of the New York Athletic Club
yesterday. Not only was the tleld a
record one, but the scores were de
cidedly better than the ones turned in
each week. The high scratch gunner
was E. D. Anderson, who had the ex?
cellent score ol* 98 out of a possible 10fl i
targets. Ho also was the winner of a \
leg on the Buermeyer Cup, with a full
score of 50 targets.
There were so man? gunners on the ,
firing line that the committee found it
impossible to shoot off for the high '
scratch prize and the weekly Travers
Island Cup. These will be decided next
Saturday. The distance handicap, how- i
ever, was shot, the winners being I" I
Spotts and N, Webb, each with a
straight run of 25 targets.
Keing the final Saturday of the
month, the weekly fixtures all came to
an end. The largest winner was .! 1
D. Bristol, who took both the Hasl n
and the Monthly Cup shoots The
Club Cup went to C. A. Brown. Dr
G. H. Martin won the distance handi?

For Eastern Coach
LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 29.?"Get us

Such is the demand being made
by the alumnae and undertrraduat.es
at the University of Nebraska for a

notice that he will not have charge
of the Cor ihusher football squad
next fall. He will be retained. how?

at the local school.
Athletic Director F. W. Luehring

under consideration for the posi?
tion. A recent Harvard football star

SYRACUS :. X. Y., Jan. 29.?"Chick"|
Meehan, ; ; 7 use University football
coach, is opj'O'-ed to the proposed ex?
tra period in football to play oif a tie.
-'v! -- I an belii v :s that if two evenly
matched teams have battled four per?
iods to an evun score tie chances ar<
prettj slim they will settlc the mattei
:.". an extra period or two. ln addi
7ion. he cites the additional risks run
hy the players in regard to injuries
and for these and other reasons takes
7i stand against the scheme.
G. N*. Bankhart, an officia] at sev
eral Eastern games, is the author of the
plan," which has been received variously
by football men throughout the coun?
try.
"The possibilities of settling a tie
game in football," says Meehan, "are'
quite small if you have two equally
matched teams. If they played four
periods to a tie, then it is almost a
safe bet they would not be able to set
tle it in an extra period, or two, per?
haps.
"Then. too, the piayers would have
70 be taken. into consideration. Xow
there are four periods, and in that
time the men get a ioi of action. If
additional time was allowed it would
mean that the running backs would be
under a much greater strain and in
m ire danger of getting laid un.
"Take the Syracu ic-Pittsburgh jrame
last fall. Both played to a tie battle,
The running backs figured ;;; most of
the attacks and were being tackled very
hard by the linemen of both elevens.
Had they piayed an extra period the
chances are very slim 'ha- the gumj
would have gone any other yvay, and
the chances oi* crippling the halfba ks
so that the teams would have been in
poor coidition for next week's games
would have been too p-roat.
"The crowds would also have to be fig?
ured on. They come to see th<^ big stars
play unless they are alumni. Now if
one of the men gets hurt it means that
he will not be able to show at his b"st j
or even get into the game, and the spec
tators are disappointed. Besides, if the
man hurt does improve for the game he
is lost for the practice during the week
?.nd that tends to break up a smooth ;
running eleven to a certain degree."

Neglect Causes
Many Troubles
Of Motor Cars
Operators Failure to Do
Things hi Time Responsi?
ble for Many Mishaps
That Are Blaraed on Aato
Putting the blame where it belongs
often reveals it is the operator and not
the car which is responsible for things
that go wrong. This article, by H. C.
Brokaic, technical director of the West
Side 1*. M. C. A. Automobile Schools, \
covers some of the things that do go
wrong.
A lot of the everyday experiences of
an automobile driver, and the troubles
which come. might be well summed up ;
under the caption of "a good man
gone wrong." There are unpreventable
things that happen, but I do not re
member many of them. In most cases
it is the driver who has gone wrong
and not the car.
A list of thincs which drivers re-''
peatedly forget to do and the things
which they do that are wrong would
extend far beyond the space limits ot
this paper. Take starting. As a joke
it has been worn threadbaie?so fre
quently is it forgotten to turn on the I
ignition when starting to crank the
engine.
Of course, it is exasperating to have
a car full to start on a cold morning,
and many a driver is prone to warm
the atmosphere with his language
addressed at the car or Its maker, until
so'rrte one comes along and remarks
that the car would start much easier,
with the ignition turned on.
Then there is the matte'r of retard- I
ing the spark. Failure to do this,
with the old starting erank, often gave
the driver a broken wrist or a cracked j
kneecap. The spark may be advanced i
a trifle when there is a motor to turn !
it over ar.d take the back kick, but if '
the spark be unduly advanced make
sure that the engine and the starting
motor both get as hard a kick as the ;
crankhandle could impart. and repeat- !
ed doses leave their effect upon the
mechanism.
Then there is the fellow who keeps
on using the self-starter until the
storage battery is discharged. He
never stops to hnd out why the en- I
gihe does not start, but keeps on kick
i; g the pedal. The wise one would find
Out first thing whe.ther there was a
spark at the plugs ar.d gas to ignite. i
The safe rule would be, if the engine
does not start after pressing the
pedal a couple of times, to find out
what the trouble is, whether the |
starter is turning over the engine,
and then whether there is a spark, gas, !
and last, but not Ieast, compression. i
If there is no spark at the plug it
is time to find out ;why. and pressing I
the starter pedal will not improve the
situation.
Then there is the fellow who forgets I
to clean the spark pluga, forgets to see
that there is gas in the tank, enough
oil in the crank case and water in the
radiator. The fellow who does not do i
this goes wrong instead of the car.!
The wise man when the starter does
nor, start. the engine gets out the hand*
crank instead of wasting the battery. j
That is too much like work for a lot of ;
drivers. Many a driver does not carry'
the hand crank in the car for use when
there does some trouble develop on i
the road. Neither does he remember
that in such a case he has a good hand
crank which. he cannot leave at home.
namely, to jack up the rear end, put
the transmission in high and turn over;
the engine by means of the rear wheel,
or if on a slight decline in the road- '
way he may accomplish the same thing;
by pushing the car a short distance orj
lettir - it run by gravity.
Another common neglect is failure:
to keep the brakes in shape. Many a!
man starts out knowing that one set of
brakes is out of commission, but as
the other one is all right thinks he
can get by with it. Then in an emer
gency he find3 that there is something
wrong with the other set and probably
forgets that he can use tne engine as
a brake by goi'ng into second or first
speed and ?. tting oil" the ignition and
closing the throttle.
Another fellow will discover a:
squeak which grows annoying. but it is
so much trouble to stop" and find out j
what it is that he runs on a dry bear
ing of some kind and when hc gets
al tl e garage finds that he has
to make a replacement, when perhaps
icrewing d -wa a grease cup or put
ting < n a few drop; of oil would have
saved expenses, besides the annoyance
of the squeak.
The same kind of a fellow will in
spect his oil gauge and put in addition?
al oil if needed, and then fail to screw
dow grease caps and otherwise lubri-1
cate as the book directs. He probably
finds it too much trouble to lubricate
the wheel hubs, ro change the oi: orl
grease in the differential and gear
shift case, and h ' ; the clutch go any i
old way, just so it work.'. Of course,
he blames the car when something
h ipp ns, but it is the driver, not the
car. that goes wrong.
Here are some of the other things
they do. or don't do, which are evi
d nces, likewise, of a good i.,an gone
wring:
Letting the clutch in flap-dash.
Running up cli.se to another vehi- |
c el or the stopping piace, and then
jamming on the brakes.
Running around a corner or a curve
on t-.vo wheel? because it looks snap
py*, - ?
Skipping one shift in going from
first to third. or from third to first
speed, without regard to engine and
car speed. or poing into reverse wh? n
the cdr is still in motion.
Stepping on the gas so hcavily that
the car almost springs out from un
der you and grir.cis off dollars' worth
of tires and loosens up a few bolts
on the engines.
Neglecting to cover tho radiator on
a cold day. when the car is standihg
ar.d then kicking because it does not
want to start.
Running the car on the starter just
to show that it can be done. doing
?>?"' or Sl0 worth of damage to the
storage battery,
Neglecting to release the clutch be
forc shifting gears.
Trying to start without letting off
the brakes. :
Failing to keep the storage bar
tery filled to the top of the plates
-; I ''' have it charged occasionally
from outside when necessary.
Failure to find out whether that
i ng ne knock or pound or other
noise is (i dng damage. or may be
left until you get back to the garaga.
Driving fast, putting on the
brakes suddenly and doing ot.her
foolhardy stunts on a wet pave
ment.
Le7ting the engine race unneccc3
s a;- i Iy,
Failure to tighten loose cap
crews and nuts, loose terminals in
the eleetric system. and to tape
worn or frayed insulation and wir
ing: to make adjustments in the
brake linkage or elsewhere.
Trying to go up steep hills on
high gear just because the engine
can do it and you want to show off.
This does not exhaust the list, but
it is an indication of some of the waya
in which automobile drivers go wrong.
Italy'lsn'i Cordial
Motor touring in Italy is not par?

ISo Wonder Rates
Have Gone Away Up
The revelation of payments to
policemen on return of stolen auto?
mobiles sheds a great deal of light
on wholesale theffcs of motor cars,
;-.nd consequenUy higher insurance
rates, for ail of which the motorist
pays. The apparent condition is
that it is easy to get a car back
after it is stolen, aithough not to
get hold of the thief. If for every
car returned there was a bonus of
??100 paid to the detectives involved,
then it is easy to understand why
insftrance ratts are higher. Some
body has to pay that $450,000, and
it is not the insurance company.

Mild Weather
Has Increased
Use of Autos
Gasoline Consumption Away
t p Because Roads Were
Open; 3.000,000 More
Cars in Use Than Year Ago
As a result of unusually mild
weather throughout the country this
winter approximately 3,000,000 more
passenger cars and trucks are in serv?
ice than wtre being used a year ago.
Many Northern states which are
usually snowbound during several
months of the year have had only a
few light snowfalls so far this winl tr
and automobile traffie has never been
impeded. The result has been that
thousands of motonsts who formerly
stored their machines at the first sign
of King Winter have kept them con
tinuously in use.
The best indieation of the increased
nse of automobiles is given by reports
from gasoline distriputing companies
in widely separated sections which
show gasoline consumption this winter
in Northern states is at least 150 per
cent greater than last year, many cities
showing increases ranging as high as
400 or 500 per cent.
The largest gaiiis in gasoline con- '?
sutnption were shown by cities in
northern Michigan and in states along
the Canadian border which usually are
snowbound from fall to spring. ' No
section of the country reported an in?
crease of less than 90 p-r cont.
Reliable estimates placed the number
of cars in use last winter which was
unusually severe at 1,500,000. This
year it can be con3ervatively estimated
that at least 7,500,000 are in service.
Part of the increase car. be attributed
to the larger number of cars owned,
but the favorable motoring weather is,
of course, the greatest factor.
Tire manufacturers pred'et that this
increased use of cars wil! have an ap
preciable effect upon the demand for
tires next spring and th-.t an actual :
shortage may occur as a n-sult.?Travel

The New York State Motor Federa

a bill on the ground that it does not
make for safety or prevent accidents '
and would increase the expense of gov- '

If it is true, as the state motor fed
