Being a great game, they see no reason to keep it throttled, suppressed or under cover so long as all eligibility and student requirements are met. Being a great game, they, want all the publicity they can get for it to have. more boys play, and they can see no reason for not starting spring practice as early a3 they wish to. Which they did on February 1. They haven't the football climate which the North Is lucky to know.

Where Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Michigan, are at work through September, with the thermometer at 48 or 50, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and others are at woik with the thermometer often at S3 degrees. But that doesn't burn out their enthusiasm. Under such conditions Pooley Hubert played four years at Alabama without taking out time without wearing headgear or stockings. Ball Playing Managers Ball playing managers again will be in vogue this season, and most of them are Ftars. Sisler, Hornsby, Collins and Harris are still among the greatest Inflelders of all time.

Buck Harris is more of a star than his public rating has shown. Ty Cobb nd Tris Speaker are the two greatest outfielders of all time. Last season a playing manager and a non-playing manager each won a pennant. It isn't so much a matter of playing or non-playing as It is of ability and material. But there are times when it is cheaper and less.

complicated to double a star in two jobs. Beyond the Flesh A physical advantage or disadvantage is less important in golf than any other sport. Not long ago George Bush, son of Reuben Bush, of New Orleans, found himself drawn against Nelson Whitney in a championship match. Whitney is a brilliant golfer and a veteran. Toung George Bush was fourteen years old at that time, and he weighed eighty pounds.

But in the match with Whitney he came home in 33, breaking the Country Club record for the last nine, and carried Whitney two extra holes before dropping out. When an eighty-pounder can break a record the flesh and sSnew become an unimportant detail. Cyril Walker and Freddie McLeod won open championships where neither weighed 120. Bobby Cruickshank is no giant, being about 5 feet 5 in height, yet he has been one of the main factors in the winter campaign. The little men don't have as much unruly muscle force to control In a game that is mainly a matter of form and rhythm.

Nearing the Limit Girl or women swimmers have been smashing so many records the last two years and by such large margins that the limit must be near at hand-just as 9 3-5 seconds still remains the barrier in the 190-yard dash. There are times when they clip four or five or six seconds from a world's record, and this clipping can't go on forever. It all is part proof of the phenomenal advance the opposite, now and then, sex has made in competitive sport through the last two years. There are savants who still believe women never will come close to masculine marks In track and field, golf or tennis. But they are not as sure about this as they were two years ago.

Given time, heritage and development can do a lot. GET 3-YEAR PENALTY Leading Chicago booksellers, sum ming up a year's bualneaa. report that sales for the later half of 1335 showed WOLFEBORO. N. Feb.
