FLIGHT OF BALL
National Champion Says
Following Wind Doesn't
Always Carry Pellet
DRIVE LOW
IV CHARLES ("CHICK") EVANS, JR.
My readers will remember that in two
. recent nrtlcles I quoted at length from
, an article by James Drald on the proper
(light ot a golf ball, laying particular
emphasis on the importance of umlcr
spln In tho drive In order to add dis
tance. In Hrald's artlelo bo quoted Professor
Tail's scientlflc anal.vsls. There are a.
number of ideas pointed out of which
the average golfer has an entlrolv mis
taken Impies-sion. In which I bclle've my
readers will be Interested.
Professor Talt s.i.vs: "It is well to
call attention to a singularly enoneous
notion very prevalent among golfers
namely, that a following wind CMiiies
the- bill onward! Such nil Idea Is, of
cour.se, iiUogiellie-r absurd e-xcent In the-
xtreiiiely Improbable case of the wind
moving faster than the initial lllgbt of
the ball.

"The true way of n gardlng matters of
this kind Is to lemiMiiber that there Is
always resistance while, there is a rela
tive motion of the ball In the air, and
that It Is lcs as tho relative motion is
smaller, so th.it It Is reduced through
out the pith of tho llight when there Is
a following wind."

PENN SPORTS WILL
BOOM IN NEW YEAR
Red and Blue Athletics,
Warped by War and Epi
demic, Expected to
Bloom in Spring
EX-STARS W ILL REWRn
. !
Uv EDWIN J. POLLOCK i
"lyAIlI'KD by war conditions. Influenza!
and lean finances during 1018,
Pcnn'n athletics are due to blossom In
full bloom during the new year. There
will be no noticeable Increase In sport
ing nctlvltles nt Welghtman Hall this
winter, but In the spring Franklin Kleld
onco again will show signs of normal
times.
The first branch of athletics to attract
tho attention of tho students when they
leturn on Monday In civilian clothes
after having been mustered out of the
students' army training corps will be
basketball. The cage game will bo con
ducted on a limited schedule, which will
bo announced by Kdwarel It. Hushnell,
the acting gradual o manager, probably
text week. There will be no champion
ship trophy nt stake In the Intercolle
giate League, but a schedule, now being
drafted, will be played out.
Plans for Track
The Indoor trnck season will bo run
on a more extensive plan. Preparations
nre being mado for a big Intercollegiate
meet, to bo held In Xew York In Feb
ruary or March, and besides Coach Law
son Robertson will enter Individual ath
letes In the big club meets, as well as the
national Indoor championships.
The relay carnival will be held in
pill as usual, mid fleorge W. Orton,
tho manager. Is' planning to make It one
of the best In history. There were
rumors afoot that tho French relay team
would bo Invited to ouniivtc. but the re
port was denied by Orton. The Inter -
collegiate outdoor championships win lie
staged again and will be held at Frank
lin Field or at tho Harvard stadium In
Cambridge.
Thomas Will Return
Coaches Wright and Thomas have
been engaged again to tutor the oars
men and baseball pl.oers respectively.
In view of the fi'ct that Pcnn's treasury
Is running dry, the rowing expenses.
which always aro a dead loss, will be
kept as low ns possible, but the diamond
season probably w HI bo run on a normal
basis.
All tho minor sports will be main
tained, but they will be curtailed con
siderably. The 1018 football season was
far from a success financially anu, as
tho leceipts for the gildlron gamo sup
port the minor teams, the schedules foi
lacrosse, gymnasium, wrestling swim
ming and soccer will be cut according
to the appropriation.
Gooil Football Material
A number of athletes who wore tho
Hid and llluei beforo tbo war will re
turn to tho University at tho start of
the second semester and an even larger
host Is oxpi'ctcd to re-enroll next fall
Many former football plajers, including
Heit Hell, 13111 Qulgley, Heine Miller and
ine vv ray orouieis, nave mkihucu enen
Intention of returning, and somo great
mateilal bliould bo out for the sijuad
next fall.
Tho football schedule will be
lengthened as computed with the list of
games plavcd last fall. It Is probable
that l'cnn will play nine or ten games
In 1310.
There Is a movement at the I'nlvcr
slty to install a system of mass ath
letics, but If anything is elone at all It
will not Interfere with the program on
competitive and intercolleglato sports.

Btidd and Crosctto Play for
Marc Island Against
Great Lakes
BATTLE AT . PASADENA
Tho two star guaids of the I.eagutv
Island football eleven will battle for
Mare Island against Credit Lakes nt
Pasadena, Col., In the annual gridiron
gamo which Is stnged In connection with
tho carnival of roses In the California
city today.
This news was contained in a letter re
ceived by Jack Hagcn, the well-known
trainer, from Hudd. Jack trnlneel the
Lengtie Island team, and he stated that
when Crosctto and Hudd left this city
, on the transfer which sent them to
Mare Island they were In great phslcnl
condition, despite the fact tint they
had Just passed through a hard football
season.
Tho two linemen are Hudd and Cro
sctto, who aro rated as tho best guards
playing on service elevens In the coun
try. Hoth put up a remarkable hi anil
r. ball for Ily IMckson, and they will
be a big help to the western marines In
their battle against the famous eleven
from firent Lakes. It will bo remem-
be red that Great Lakes was the team
that swamped Itutgers and beat Annap
olis. From tactics revealed In their prac
tice It Is expeeti'd that the game will
lulng out radically different styles of
football.
The Great Lakes sailors, with a lino
of unusual weight and power, nre ex
pect eel to depend on battel lug the op
position's bnes for their gains, whllo
tho lighter marines are expected to play
a much more open game, with tho for
ward pass Ilguilng prominently
