GET WISE!
FIVE years ngo basketball at the University of Pennsylvania was at low ebb.
Only fair teams were placed on the circuit and the sport was n financial loss.
The A. A. was losing money as regularly ns the secretary of state is fired and
conditions were as pleasing and ns soothing ns the rent ill. Then a new figure
appeared on the well-known horizon and all the scenery was changed.
The team started to wiu games and grabbed off several championships. The
freshman five caught the fever and dashed off victories like Joie Hay tearing off
his sprint on the homestretch. The attendance began to pick up, nnd before
they realized what was happening the basketball managers turned in some coin
to the A. A. at the end of the season instead of holding up the athletic directors
for some more money to pay bills. Of course, all of this wasn't exactly dis
pleasing to the sporting bosses at the University.
The other day the Pcnnsylvanlan, the student dally on the Red and Blue
campus, came out with an editorial to the effect that this "figure" was n miracle
man, and that just about hit it on the bean or fcomethiug like that. It wouldn't
take a heavy intellect to dope out that the particular figure about which we are
writing this yarn is Lon Jourdct, coach of the Pcnn basketball team for the
last several years.
Jourdct has done marvols with basketball at Penn. He has given the Red '
nnd Blue far more prestige in the sport than it ever had enjoyed. Not even in
tho days of Artie Kicfabcr, Charlie Keinath and the rest of that famous quintet
of ten or more years ago were the Qunkitrs feared as much in basketball as they
are now. And it's uot hard to see the reason why.
During the last five years Penn has won two championships, copped first !
place in 101S-10, when the championship was not at stake, nnd finished high
in the other seasons. Right now the Red
collegiate race by a wide margin, nnd one more victory virtually will clinch it.
The Quakers take on George Zahn's Dartmouth five tonight and an easy
triumph is ex'pected. The Green has an inexperienced team nnd has not done
well in tho league games. However, the Nc!w Knglundcrs are improving. If
Pcnn wins tonight it will be the seventh consecutive league triumph, nnd that
means that i'alo must win all its remaining games and the Quakers lose theirs
for the race to end in a tie. This is very, very unlikely.
JJESIDES the championship, Pcnn also tcilt land permanent possession
D of the Heppe cup, tchich has been up for competition for ten years,
if Dartmouth is beaten tonight. This is just about enough to make the
Quakers fight as they never fought before to land the verdict.
Jourdet Knoivs Human Nature
THE secret of Jourdet's success is not in his knowledge of the game, although
what he doesn't know about basketball isn't worth knowing. His success
Is not entirely due to bis method of coaching, either, although this also plays
a large part. A man could know the game thoroughly, possess the ability to
teach clearly and yet not be able to reach the heights of consistent winning. The
secret of the victories attained by Jourdet is in his personality.
The Penn coach knows human nature ns few arc fortunate enough to know it.
lie makes n study of the individual and plans his methods accordingly. Some
men he knows need encouragement in the way of praise, and he gives it to them
thick. Some produce the best under the whip, nnd he rides them hard. Others
he lets play their own game, pointing out
to this, Jourdet has the indomitable fighting spirit of Bob Folwell, the old fight i
that never knows defeat, and this is imbued into the play of the Quakers.
uouruvi jmuycu iuiu lumuiufc mure
university, That was m iuid. nc was signed as uasuetonii coach In 1014,
and although he didn't break into the championship class immediately, his
1D1C-10 quintet copped the title. The team tlivvcd a little in 11)10-17, but the
next year another title was snatched. Last year Pcnn finished at tho top, but
thcro was no championship at stake on account of the war.
I
PENN is fortunate in having a man like Jourdet. llorc of his kind
would place the Red and Blue on a much higher level in athletics.
Abe Attell Was Champion Four Years and Six Months i
friTTANT you to decide n bet for us," said the spokesman of a committee of'
YV three fistic information seekers in the sports banctum sanctorum the other !
day. "How long was Abe Attell featherweight champion? I have noticed by I
the papers time and again where Abe was supposed to have been the titleholder I
for something like twelve years. The party of the second part says that dope
Is all wet, that Attell was ctiampion tor
All of which brought up u very good and interesting question, the unswer j
to which will put n lot of fans straight on just how long Attell, known as the1
fox of the featherweights-, really was tho titleholder. Delving into statistics
comniled bv Tom S. Andrews, recocnized the world over ns one of boilne's hesr I
authorities, it is pointed out that Attell
weight title. I
Back In lflOl on November 2S, to be exsiet Terry McGovern was knocked i
out In a bout for the featherweight crown by Young Corbett, the climax of the
contest occurring in the second round. The bout was held at Hartford, Conn., ,
and the weight governing the contest was 12(5 pounds ringside. The same year '
both Corbett and McGovern entered the lightweight class, and it was early in I
1004 that Attell claimed the championship at 122 pounds, the recognized weight
then. ,
Harry Torbes disputed Attell's claim, and just to prove that Abie was right
tho former was stopped on rebruary l,
viously, that is, from 1001 until 100.'5, Forbes was recognized as tho bantam
champ, from the time McGovern had outgrown that division until Harry was put
away in two rounds by irankie .Nell at ban
Then, here's where the intricacy of
October 13, 1001, Abie was given sueh u severe lacing by Brooklyn Tommy Sul
livan that the contest, which was staged in St. Louis, was btopped in the fifth
round to save Attell from further punishment, nil of which gave the Brookljn i
personal technical knockout. Also, this victory entitled Sullivan to the chain
plonship. i
It was on April .".o, 100S, nt San rranciscn. that Attell got a chnnce to
redeem himself against S il ivan. and this time Brooklyn Tommy wns knocked I
for a gool in our rounds, o that once more Abie was recognized as the feather- i
weight champion From thut time until February 22, 1012, Attell defended the
championship successfully until Johnnj Kt'bane wns rendered a referee's decision
at the finish of twentj rounds at Los Angeles, Calif.
TAKEN all in all, Attell vat recogniicd n rhampion for four years nnd ,
8ti mon(i4, including ten months t IU0i, from the time he claimed
the troicri until Ac teas 'topped hy Rullitan, and from the date m J00S
ichen ho reversed the verdict against Hinoklyn Tommy until he uni
outpointed by Kilbann.
Grand and Glorious Golf-Seeing Voyage
NOW dimes the data that n Boston concern is planning something unique, as
they mi. in the annuls of port. This company wants to gather a large
company of golfers and fans to make a trip abroad to sec the British champion -bhlps,
play the English courses, root for the American players, take a peep a
the battlefields of France arid Belgium and have u holiday in general. The rati
will be tonsldernbly I-s thun the regular "civilian" tours, and tbero will h
considerable of liberty for the party to do us it pleasi-s. though arrangements vi'l
be made to hne open to them the privilege of plajing the various British cour-
It Is planned to split the party, which will leave the States about Mn 22,
letting the golfers proper take in the British amateur nnd open and the r .t go
on to Franco to survey the rums where the divots taken up were houses und
fields nnd things.
It now uppars that Thursday's announcement of the six American women
who were going to make an efJort to lift the ladies' championship of Great Britain
was only a starter, for ulready rumors begin to tloat of other women plajcrs con
nldrring the trip, as well as a number of amateurs and other pros than Jim Barnes
und Walter Hngen.
loam-is Ouimet, one of the two leading American amateurs, has not yet
btated definitely whether he will go or not. But his caddy, Eddie Lowry, has no
hesitancy.
"Mr. Ouimet Is going over," announces this personage simply.
Anyhow, it is known that Ouimet was considerably dissatisfied with his
showing the Inst time he went over. He failed to make much of an Impression
Jn the Britinh nmatcur, though he won the French championship. Ouimet is
impatient to mako n real showing in the land of "Cheery-O," und if business
mid other things pan out so that ho is nble to tukc out tho time there nre few
who doubt thut tho American star will be breasting the briny waves 'long 'bout

A. ItacUswIng slow.
IL Lye on ho ball.
C. Follow through straight with the

"I have brought my whole game
down to these three fundamental
rules." said the national star rc
centlj, "and if 1 nm going wrong I
enn trntr it to breaking one of m
A. B. t'.'s, nud can correct the fault." ,
Marston, ut one time or nnotlier, bus
beaten many of the stars ranked with
him as "America's best ten," is a pro
minent contender in every cicnt.' he
enters, nnd sooner or later is Mire to
break out there in front ns national
champion. Tho simple rules on which
he baes his gnmo are, therefore, the
more surprising.
"My swing," stated Marston, "Is n
matter of four positions, in nil my
shots. When I swing back from the
ball my left arm is straight us fur
back as it will go. That is one posi
tion The second is reached by bending
my elbows with the 'break' of m

tion 4. which is the finish of my follow
through.
"This Is the A. B. C. of my swing."
continued Marston. "nnd I believe the
most important part is the follow
through. I bring u strn'ght left nrm.
after the ball is hit. right through on n
lino towards tho hole. Any going off
that line will spoil the shot."
When Marston first played golf he
found his ruling vice was to sway in
making his drives. In order to over
come this he began playing hip left foot
sl'ghtly in ndvnuce of the right. It iv
necessary to keep the strnight right
knee rigid. In the back swing, nnd.
nlmost to the impact with tho ball, on
tho forward swing. This comes more
naturally if tho left foot is forward.
For iron shots, when.' there is not
so much tendency to swny ns with the
wood. Marston reverses and finds it
helps to pluy with the right foot for
ward. Ho olavu his ball off his right foot on
his irons because the shot is mndo on
the downward swing of the club, while
In driving the bnll is nearly off his left
heel. This is to get it away cloauly
ulmot as the club is com'ng up.
"I believe," explained the Now Jer
s(j champ on. "thnt the heart of the
punch in n gvlf shot is in u slow back
swing. If a plujcr comes buck fast, he
not only loses his sight on the ball, but
lie takes nil the life out of his shot.
He has got to make nnothcr shot from
there. Ho has used up the vigor of
his shot before he bus made it. The
gienfest power nnd speed of the club
head must bo in coming dov n nnd it's
not there if it's all used up olng back,
when it's not needed."
Mnrston likened his follow through
somewhat to that of a tennis player.
He demonstrated, holding his club in
his left hnnd only und going straight
through us n left handed tennis plajer
would play a bnck hnnd shot.
"I consider the pnrt of the btroko
nfter the bull is hit," he said, "as
the most important. Follow through
makes for a good shot or a bad one."

The Lucky 400
ATJHFLIi more than 400 major league
ball nlnv.rR. Including onlto n few
who, won't bo major leaguers very many
weeks, will be, on their way to Dixie
within tho next twenty-four hours.
There was a day when each manager
expected to find at least two or three
promising candidates in his list of
youngsters, but this season the number
of recruits who will break through the
barrier will be far below the average.
There seems to be n case of Stand I'nt
all through both leagues, largely for
tho reason that new talent has becomo
extremely scarce, much after tho manner
of everything else except strikes nnd rent
raises.
Which reminds us how lucky these
400 arc. Think whnt it would mean to
a nation if every citizen could take the
month of March off to get in fine physi
cal shape for the big drive nhcad.
C. ."Mack's Amazing Record
WIIKRB will 1020 land the nmnzfng
Mr. Mack, of Philadelphia? This
query arises from his amazing record
of the last ten years.
Sport has never offered such a startl
ing upheaval as this accounting:
1010 American League pennant ;
world championship.
1011 American League pennant
world championship.
1012 Strong contender for Ameri
can League pennant.
1(1 K! American League pennant ;
world championship.
1014 American League pennant.
lMfi Bad last.
101(1 Bad last.
1017 Bad last.
1018 Bad last.
1010 Bad last.
Having divided tho ten years Into
equal portions of success nnd failure, it
is now high time thnt Mr. Mack was
introducing a new turn. Championship
ball clubs are not built in u day, but a
capable, experienced manager should be
able to finish n point or two above
last place with five years in which to
operate.

Baiter's Average
'fTSNT it true," questions a corrc-
spondent, "that Frank Baker hai
averaged more than .300 for his com
plete career?"
Not quite. Bnkcr, for his first 1000
ball games up through 1010 averaged
exact'v .200. We have not figured out
his full record since, but It Is nnt suf
ficiently high to lift him into the .300
class. Jimmv rv'ins averaged more
' in .300, but Jimmy belonged to
another period u.i he wns nt his primo
twenty yenrs ngo.
Heinle Zimmerman averaged .302 for
his first 1000 gnmrs through 1010, but
the Great Zlm skidded a trifle later on,
THE next event on the program will
be Kid March vs. Battling Winter.
Our prediction is a knockout for th
Kid Inside of thirty -one rounds.
First call for ten-foot putts and
slices out of bounds.
