RICHARDS' SUCCESS DUE TO
HIS SUPREME CONFIDENCE
Broke Down Nerve of
His Competitors in
High Jump Event at
the Olympic Game in
Stockholm
CON'FinnN'CE Is one of the prime fac
tors In the success of nn nthteto. He-
cause he possesses It In abundance Is ono
of the reasons that Alva Illchnrds, of
Cornell University, Is BUch on unusual
high Jumper, ltlchnrds has nlwnys be
lieved In himself, nnd It has helped to
win many a hard competition.
The following story well Illustrates tho
supreme confidence of Illchnrd.. Tho In
cident occurred on tho trip of tho Amer
ican Olympic team to Stockholm In July,
1012. At that time Illclinrds was a Snlt
Lnko City schoolboy. Heforc ho won a
place on the team with a Jump of fi feet
2 Inches In the preliminary tryotlts nt
Chlcnrro hardly any ono hntl heatd of him.
One day wlillo on tliu ocean a group of
tho athletes Were discussing their chnnces
for the various events Finally one of
tho boys turned to nichntds, who had
been a silent listener, with this query:
"Well, what do you think your chances
nro for tho high Jump?"
"My chnnces?" said ltlchnrds. "Why
I'm going to win my event, nnd what's
moro I'm going to do It with a Jump of
6 feet 4 Inches."
There was some good-natured kidding
of the big Westerner for the rcmnlnder
of tho trip. Hut Itlclinrdt turned out to
bo a prophet who hail tho Inst laugh.
At tho close of tho preliminaries In this
event George Horlne, of Lclnnd Stan
ford, tho world's champion, I.ische of
Germany nnd ltlchnrds were left. There
was consternation when Horlne went out
nt a little over 0 feet. Tho bar went up
to 0.02 with both Itlchardn nnd tho Ocr
mnn clearing It. They both negotiated
C.03. It went up to (1.01 nnd ltlchnrds de
termined to shake tho German nt once.
With u supremo effort ltlchnrds cleared
the bnr on his llrst attempt. Tho Ger
man's ncr.vp wob gone nnd ho failed threo
times In succession.
ltlchnrds Is now a Junior at Cornell, and

Ithncnn Track Men Work
ITHACA. N. Y Jan. 13.-The Cornell
track team under Jack Moakley beaan Its con
centration this eek for tho annual drive for
the Intercolleslato track and field champion
shin meet neat aprlne. Most of the seasoned
material hai already rejiorted and u larne
number of recruits, ahxtoua to obtain reaular
places In the rank, aro also at work. Moaklcv
hns considerably more than 100 men out. and
after llrst term examinations his squad win
exceed 1IOO. a tho truck has become popular
slnco Cornell began the habit of winning Inter
colleslate truck titles.
That speed should be slde-trncked for
contrcl in howling before one becomes
highly proficient Is tho opinion of James
Donnl, tho Mlnenpolls expert. "Tho main
thing to lenrn Is control," ho Bays. "Don t
worry about your speed at the stnrt. lou
can legulnte that later. It Is not neces
sary to throw n fast ball, but If It comes
naturally, continue to uso It. Many so
called experts condemn speed, but Jimmy
Smith docs not roll n funeral ball. When
you have reached the ITS and 170 aver
age stage, you, no doubt, will become
Interested In whnt Is known ns 'stuff, or
the English on the ball. Next to con
trol. It Is most esscntlnl. There never
wns a real good bowler who did not have
some 'stuff.'
"Perhaps you havo noticed certain
howlers hit the head pin full nnd get nwuy
with It, while every tlmo you havo dono
so )ou have drnwn n split. Thnt Is be
causo you have choked your ball with a
tight grip, causing It to skid half way
ilonn tho nlley, with tho tcsult thnt
when It reached tho plus It has been
spent.
" 'Stuif' can bo put on In four different
ways: Hy lifting the ball with tho fore
finger, by tilting It with the loose lin
gers ns you let go, by turning the thumb
In the hole, nnd by twisting the wrist.
Hook-ball bowlers generally havo a lot
more of this English than tho straight
ball bowlers, but the control It more dif
ficult. On a full hit tho straight ball
usually gets tho Inrgcr count, while on n
thin hit It Is tho hook whkh Bwecps tho
most plus.
"The big nverngo man Is shooting nt
tho 1-3 plus, and although ho might not
nlwnys hit this spot, he Is keeping ever
lastingly nt It. Control is the first cs
scntlnl, and when n bowler Is nble to
make spares consistently then he enn
take up a little 'stuff to produce a slight
hook, thus turning a deadly straight ball
Into a good 'working ball' for strikes.
That done, you have your finished bowler.
"Do not Judge a bowler b his big
scores, but by his low -.net. Almost nn
body can get n big total once In u while,
but a good bowler rarely Is guilty of n
very smsll score. Don't let ntijhody till
ou about splits being hnrd luck A
good bowler ought not to get them. If
they happen there Is something wrong
with tlio grip or the deliver. I" so jour
own brains In correcting the fault."

ATHLETIC COMMITTEE
INCREASES OWN POWER
Will Virtually Make All Ap
pointments of Coaches
and Trainers
Tho University Athletic Committee, the
court of last resort In all matters per
taining to undergraduate nlhlcllcs nt tho
University of Pennsylvania, la determined
to exercise more control !n tho matter of
coaching appointments nt tho Quaker in
stitution. Information that haa been
public indicates that the original order
of this committee as sent to the Football
Committee Insisting that It must O. K.
tho new football coach before It could
be presented to tho board of directors
wns misunderstood.
In fact, tho new xula Is moro drastic
than supposed. Not only is it true thnt
ths University Athletic Committee, tthleh
la mado up of representatives of thd-"
various faculties, the board of trustees,
the, Athletic Association nnd the student;
tody, must first ratify all appointments,
but before tha Standing Commlttea en
take nctlon it must get the University
Athletic Committee's approval of the
various candidates.
If the committee approves all the can
didates, then It may be taken as a cer
talnty thnt It will also approve the final
selection.
This procedure was not followed by the
Football Committee for the reason that
It had already begun negotiations before
the new rule was passed. But a com
promise was effected by which the in
formal approval of leading members of
the committee wns secured In advance.
Tho new rule, however. Is being observed
by the Track Committee, which Is now
considering the appointment of a track
coach nnd football trainer. This com
mittee has something like a dozen candi
dates for this post, but before It can
enter Into negotiations with any of them
It must have the approval of the Uni
versity Athletic Committee for each ,man.
