Harvard's Keen Interest in Legore Case Arouses
Suspicion as to Crimson Status "Speedy" Rush
Has Developed Reserve Squad at Princeton
P TALE, Harvard and Trlnceton -wish to convince tho public of their sin
cerity In trylhg to stamp out tho evil of summer tiasoball they will abandon
rthcr efforts to effect tho reinstatement of Legore and his four teammates,
o wore disqualified for nccoptlntr board and expenses for playing during
summer. Else the public and other colleges soon will bo forced to tha
iVlctlon that the Harvard and Princeton authorities aro not courting too
3e an inspection of their own athletes, somo of whom aro suspected of play
on hotel and club tiams during tho vacation months.
It should bo remembered that tho host bruins of college faculties and
amateurs who believe In sport solely for sport's salt a have been con
tratcd on the solution of this problem for nearly a quarter of a century.
No Chance to Shift Illnmc on Coach and Captain
The present rule which the Yale players violated has been on tho books of
self-respecting universities nil this time. It Is true enough that It has
and Is violated right and loft, but not through Ignorance. Tho latest
so from New Haven, thnt ex-Cnptaln Mlddlebrook nnd Coach Tommers
?ed the Yalo players that they could play ball under tho conditions they
,s ridiculous If offered In extenuation. Instead of reinstating tho players
oach Tommer's statement, something should bo dono to him.
VU the argument at these three universities Is In a circle. The rulo Is
he books, nnd tho players sign an Iron-clad statement when they be
candtdates for baseball that they have not violated this provision.
Harvard's Appeal Reflection on Yale's Honorable Stand
"ho rule was put on tho books to be enforced, and tho only way to enforce
to enforce It. Further quibbling by Yale, Harvard and Princeton will bo
i tw to their prestige. If It Is a bad rule, then repeal It.
arvard's appeal that tho offenders be reinstated Is ridiculous for two
ns. Each college Is supposed to govern Its own athletics In the matter of
sstonalism, and even If Harvard had tho right to Interpose, Yale could
lonorably back down from Its present stand.
Simplified But Perfected Football "Wins at Princeton
Ever since John Rush took charge of Princeton's football coaching his
mt lods have been studied far and wldo. But thoso who look for novel ideas
Wll. be disappointed. Simplicity Is the basis of Rush's work. Ho showed that
when ho ordered an unusually long preliminary practice season last spring. At
that time Rush told every man on the squad that he must master tho rudiments
of tho game. He did not stop with such elementary things as tackling,
kicking and catching the balL The line men had to grasp tho rudiments of
charging, blocking and breaking through, and the backs had to understand tho
principles of Interference. These were simple things, but it is because they aro
being done so nearly perfectly that Rush is making good.
Reserve Strength of Tigers Tribute to Rush's Methods
Another reason for Princeton's present strength Is the unusual number of
high-class substitutes on whom Rush can call at any time. Now it should
bo observed that these substitutes were not developed In a day. They are
the product of a system which keeps every man at work as long oa he is on
the squad. Just now there are four varsity elevens at work, and all of them
are scrimmaging regularly. Rush does not tolerate having two or three elevens
stand about for an afternoon watching two other teams do all the work. That
explains why Rush was able to use nearly three full elevens when Dart
mouth was beat.
Still Hope to Save Debarred Athletes
The Irish -American Athletic Club of New York is not at all pleased
with the decision of the Metropolitan Athletic Association in expelling Abel
Kiviat and Harry Smith, two famous athletes, for demanding exorbitant
expense money.
Of course, the charges were serious, but not so serious when other prac
tices, even more lax, go on right under A. A. U. officials' eyes.
It doesn't seem entirely fair that such stars as Kiviat and Smith should
get the maximum penalty. The men have been responsible for increased in
terest in track and field games of the country, and the Irish-American A. C.
plans to fight for them. The sentiment of many athletes of Philadelphia Is that
KlvlWs and Smith's expulsion was a harsh bit of punishment.
Quarter-Milers Star in Harvard and Yale Fall Games
It begins to appear there will be an overflow of quarter-mllers of a first
class order if the fall games of Harvard and Yale are any criterion.
In the final outdoor meet of the season at Cambridge, the most spectacular
event of the day was the 440, in which A. E. Rouse turned the distance in
51 4-5 seconds. It is a coincidence that the stellar performance of tho Yale
meet at New Haven also should have been centred In the 440-yard race.
James Roche, from the New Haven High School, an unheralded middle
distance runner, was clocked in the remarkable time of 52 3-5 seconds.
It is a far cry to the lntercolleglates next spring, but from present indica
tions, "Ted" Meredith will find plenty of stiff competition when he again essays
the task of landing America's intercollegiate 440 championship.
Malian, of Harvard, Leads Tibbot, Princeton, by One Field Goal
Harvard's star. Mahan, Is one field goal ahead of Tibbot, of Princeton,
according to the figures to date. The score is five to four for the Harvard man.
TJbbot, it is believed, however, has been far more versatile in his playing
this year and is going along at a clip which promises to rate him with Mahan
and Barret, of Cornell, as a back.
Auto Speed Records Likely to Fall on Election Day
Such great speed has been maintained by the drivers who are tuning up
their cars for the Harkness Gold Cup race at Sheepshead Bay Motordrome
Election Day that it would not be surprising to see all records up to 100 miles
shattered.
Porporato has been driving his big F. R. P. car around the track at the
scorching pace of 102 miles an hour. It seems likely that the record for the
100-mile distance will bo beaten easily. "Bob" Burman will be a candidate
for laurels in this race, and the distance seems to be Just right for him. Bur
man holds the world's record for a mile, :25.2 seconds, and spectators may ex
pect him to set a dizzy pace.
Miss Cheston, tho youthful centre forward of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club girls' hockey eleven, easily led the Women's Interclub Hockey League in
goals scored last year. Her start this season has been phenomenal. In four
games Philadelphia has scored 21 goals, and 11 of these were contributed
by Miss Cheston.
Professional basketball teams on tho lookout for material would do well to
watch Anderson, forward on the Emerson team in tho Camden City League.
This lad shot 10 field goals and 13 free tosses in the opening game of tho
season Monday night.
The only reason that Yale men did not sign up Al Sharpe last fall to put
football on a solid foundation in New Haven was that Frank HInkey then had
two more years to his contract. In the meantime, Cornell signed Sharpe for
a five-year term.
Joe Wllhoit, the Venice recruit, kicked up the traces again after signing
a Boston contract. Manager Stalllngs has tossed Fred Snodgrass in with
Moran and Whaling and has given Wllhoit an increase with transportation to
and from the coast for himself and wife, in order to bind tho deal. If this
young man falls to star for the Braves, his llfo will be miserable when Stalllngs
recalls these Incidents,

Penn Charter's football play has been greatly Improved by the splendid
generalship of Edeson at quarterback. He replaced Pleraol in the Little
Quakers' backfleld, and the change has worked wonders with the team play
f the eleven.
The shift of Panzullo from end to halfback for La Salle not only has Im
proved the player's exhibition, but also has solved Coach Dunn's plan of
aiding a more consistent ground-gainer behind the line.

Professor Hohnhut demonstrates by means of tho above diagram
showing tho well-known homonymous doubling of objects further
than the point of binocular fixation, that the only way to hit a golf
ball is to close both eyes. P, PA and PB represent a flock of ghosts,
one of which the player believes to be (P) tho little pill. Tho golfer
sees three images, none of which is really the ball.
GOLFERS! TO MAKE SURE HIT
CLOSE EYES BEFORE SWINGING
Strike Blindly at Photograph of Ball and There Is No
Chance of Missing, So Says Professor Hohnhut,
After Experiment Local Notes '
Professor Hans Hechcr Hohnhut, of a
small Western college, claims his latest
theory came to him Just like that which
means all of a sudden-like. Which Is the
way all bright Ideas come into the world.
The only way to hit a golf ball, says the
professor, as the result of his Just-completed
scientific research work on tho sub
ject. Is to close both eyes and soundly
strike tho photograph he has of the ball.
By thl3 method the golfer will never miss
the pill.
Tha professor's theory and the above
diagram will be clear If the reader will
perform the following simple experiment.
Placo one forefinger at any distance
form tho nose and then hold the other
forefinger about 10 r 12 inches away.
Glue the eyes of the nearer finger, al
lowing the further finger to come In range.
The experimenter will have the Illusion
of seeing three fingers. Now, then, apply
this to the golf ball.
"The average player," says Professor
Hohnhut, who Is a rabid golfer and knows
all about It, "levels a stony eye at the golf
ball which he addresses. He has an In
tense feeling of antagonism for the ball,
and as a result, his look Is very cold and
frigid. Aha! now It comes out. Cold, you
know, contracts. Naturally, therefore, tho
point of a binocular fixation contracts, be
cause the golfer's stare is so cold. As It
contracts, an Image Just as real as the
actual ball, rises, ghost-like, out of the
pill, and the golfer now sees two balls. As
he gazes at this new Image, there Is an
Illusion of the real 'ball spreading out and
forming two balls, and the real ball dis
appears. So that tha player now sees
three balls. Hoping to hit one of the
three, all of which look real, the golfer
alms for the one In the middle, hits it a
brutal wallop, and then looks down to find
the real ball yawning In av tired way right
where he left it on the kick-off.
"P" In the diagram represents tha ball
to be addressed. The lines from the eyes
to "P" are the lines of vision, which,
being frigid, contract and seem to raise
the ball oft the ground to point "P."
which is only an Image of the real ball.
The point of binocular fixation is now on
"P" and the ball "P" seems to spread
to "PA" and "PB" and "P. the real
ball, disappears. The player sees only
"P," "PA" and "PE," all of which are
some Inches above the real ball and are
mere vapor, mist, smoke. This smoke
is what the player hits, believing he 1b
hitting the real ball.
"Does every player have this Illusion?"
the Professor was politely asked.
"Yes," answered the learned psychol
ogist, "unless his vision Is defective."
"Then Is It only players with defective
vision that can hit a golf ball," queried
the Ignorant one.
"Exactly," replied Professor Hohnhut,
"but I have discovered a way by which
even the player with good eyesight can
hit the ball. If he closes the left eye,
PA will disappear. If he closes the
right eye also, the image 'PB" will dis
appear. There Is now only one Imago
left, which Is 'P. the photograph or tho
original ball. At this the player should
strike and he will hit the real ball just
beyond as a result, for the golfer, I

took advantage of the fine golf weather
to play a round.
Ex-chnmplon Woerz, of the Hunting

today that unless he was able to show
a good enough game to nt least get Into
the finals for defeated twos in the pres
ent Journey, he . would retire from golr.
Ills worshipers were not much cast down
by this statement, as they have tho
greatest confidence in the famous golfer's
ability.
What la generally conceded to be the
omclal ringing down of tho curtain on the
local golf season, is the tournament to
start tomorrow on the Northflold course
at Atlantic City More than 150 golfers
havo entered, Including nil the class of
this city nnd many of the leading players
of tho Metropolitan District, so that
matches will bo contested eagerly oven
to the last trap. The course Is a good
test of golf. Tho last holo Is called "Hal

of more than ono golfer as he finishes.
