TRADITIONS OF VALE AXD PRIXCE-TOX GAME tXSHAKEX. New York, Nov. 14 Football games that will have a decided bearing on the final ranking of eastern college elevens for the season of 1913 form the feature contests of tomorrow In the gridiron world along the Atlantic Brains are not required In golf. Edward Ray, who Is now on the Pacific coast with Harry Vardon, says so. "Forget your brains and Just hit the ball," is the advice given by the English professional.

Great players, according to Rayt don't rely upon brainy, prosaic tactics they Just view the landscape, grasp their club and take a thwack at the ball. "One must rely on luck a great deal," we are told. And listen to this: "The fault I most notice among Americans is ceremony. Americans take the game too seriously." That's Just it. We do take all our games rather seriously so seriously, in fact, that we generally manage to win.

And there are signs now that the English are beginning to realize that they must change their whole attitude toward sport they must reorganize, train intelligently and use their brains If they want to save themselves from being extinguished Ky ciation. Davy had a hard time geU ting the athletes in line, and those from the losing clubs were the first to Join. The Athletics held out for a long while, absolutely refusing to have anything to do with the order. They said they did not need protection, and they did not want to have anything to do with Fultz's little organization, for which so many others were falling. Finally, after many months of struggle, Fultz got all the otjher clubs represented, many of them much against their will.

Then the Athletics, rather than appear too obstinate, came In, but with the distinct proviso and understanding that they would never stand for any act of the association which did not meet with the approval of Manager Connie Mack. That is how strong Mack stands with a team of players of good and it shows the main reason why his club is a consistent winner, both In his own league and In the world'sx series. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Middle West football season of 1913 will'' reach its climax tomorrow In three big battles. In which representative elevens of the Central states have staked their ambi tions for the year. Chicago and Mln nesota will contend for the confer ence championship, Nebraska and Kansas will struggle to survive in the race for Missouri valley honors, and Michigan will fight against Pennsylvania to maintain the hitherto unbroken record of supremacy of the West for the season. The game at Minneapolis promises to be a titanic struggle. As the season has advanced both Gophers and Maroons have shown increased strength, each team probably being now at the height of its development.

It Is generally considered that the teams are evenly matched. Utter rout has been the fate of east-tern teams in games with westerners this season, and Michigan rooters, even the most conservative, Delieve the Wolverines have at least a fight ing chance to down the Quakers and keep their record clean. Modern football, with the forward pass in an advanced stage of development, is likely to feature the game on Ferry field. Both teams are exponents of the open game. Wisconsin is an idle member of the "Big Nine" tomorrow.

Iowa has a game with Ames that is expected to settle the state cham pionship. Northwestorn hopes for beating Indiana are offset by recent advices, which indicate a shift in the lineup, has brought encouragement the Hoopiers. Illinois and Perdue are to meet in a blttle struggle. An interesting contest is likely be tween South Dakota and the Michi gan Aggies, for the former, it is said, will send its strongest team in. Missouri should have little trouble in dis posing of Washington.

A small sample of the kind of school spirit which will be exhibited at the game at the gardens this afternoon was demonstrated by several hundred boys and girls, who paraded, yelled and sang songs in front of the Standard office last evening. All preparations have been made for the contest and the public will bo assured a clear view of the playing field this as only officials and newspaper men will be allowed on the sidelines. There will be several patrolmen on the grounds to enforce the rule also.

C. M. Best of Great Falls arrived in Butte last evening. He and Coach Bunker of the agricultural college will act as officials. The game will be called at 2:30 o'clock.

OLD JOCKEY IS KILLED. New York, Nov. 14. T. H.

Tommy) Burns, internationally famous as a Jockey, either Jumped or fell beneath an elevated train In Brooklyn today and was ground to pieces. No one witnessed the tragedy. The last person to see him was the station ticket seller, who noticed him pacing up and down on the platform Just before the train pulled In. Tommy Burns was one of the world's leading Jockeys and was reputed wealthy. He rode for such owners as W.

C. Whitney and William C. Daly, and several years ago carried the colors of the German emperor. ALL-STARS WIS. Dillon, Nov.

14. The all-star football team composed of former college players defeated the Beaverhead county high school team here today by a score of 7 to 6. The all-stars made a touchdown following a fumble in the first quarter and G. Gosman kicked goal. In the second quarter the high school made a touchdown after a forward pass, but failed to kick goal.

GIBOXS WINS IN SECOND. New York, Nov. 14. Mike Gibbons of St. Paul defeated Marty Rowan of Brooklyn in the second, round of what was to have been a 10-round bout in Brooklyn tonight.

Rowan's seconds threw up a sponge. FORMER OFFICIALS INDICTED FRAUDULENT USE OF MAILS Los Angeles, Nov. 14. Eleven former officials of the Los Angeles Investment company, one of the largest home-building concerns in Southern California, were Indicted today for alleged fraudulent use of the malls and released pending trial and further investigation by the federal grand Jury on bonds ranging from $2,500 to 110.000. The indictment, a blanket bill charging the defendants with having misrepresented the company's affairs In statements sent through the mails, was the result of an investigation started by postal authorities several weeks ago, when the price of the concern's stock suddenly slumped and various reports as to its condition started a run on the Glove Savings bank, an affiliated institution.

The federal grand jury seized the books of the concern and several subsidiaries and summoned a public auditor, whose report showed apparently that several directors had misappropriated to themselves 821 shares of stock, for which no cash was paid and on which they are alleged to have drawn dividends regularly. Dividends sometimes amounted to as mjch as 34 ner cent FOR TODAY'S GAM FIRST TOUCHDOWN IS RAPID Keller carries ball over for touchdown three minutes after kiekoff. Tiro other touchdowns follow In second and third periods. Special Dispatch to the Standard. Missoula, Nov.

14. "Twenty to nothing." This was the score by which the University of Montana war riors took the football game from the agricultural college on the Montana field this afternoon. Except during the Interscholastlc meets, Montana field has never seen a better crowd, A bright sun that dried the field and cjok some of the snap out of the November air added to the pleasure of the big crowd, and as had been expected, worked to the advantage of Montana. The university outweighedi but having a decided edge in speed and attack, expected to play better football on a dry field than in the mud. The expectations were realized too, for Kelley nulled ODen plays at critical times that left the visitors scratching their heads.

Amid the long list of names made famous today Dornblaser's shines brightest. It was the big acting captain's last game against the' Aggies and his best. In his four years against, the Aggies he has played them siic times. He has plastered himself with a lot of glory during these four Dut ne has never played better football than he did for an hour yesterday. He worked behind the line on defense and let not a single play get past him.

Right beneath the German in the list of stars comes Owlsley. Kelley played almost too deliberately at times and was reprimanded by Referee Robblns on several occasions for slowing up the game. But this was a minor fault and was overshadowed by the Irishman's wonderful generalship. Kelley chose the right play at every turn of the game and used his team to the best advantage. until the end of the game none of the Aggies, save Carr and Gatton, showed anything at all.

Swept off their feet by the university attack, they went to pieces after the first few plays. It was play of this sort that opened the classic struggle and took the fight out of the Aggies. Montana received the kiekoff and Owsley ran the ball to the center of the field before he was downed. Then the university pulled the ancient "shoe string" play, and shoved the ball to the 25-yard line, whence it was driven across the goal line in a succession of line plunges, Kelley carrying the ball over, the whole thing taking only three minutes. The first quarter yielded no other score, though the university showed-marked superiority.

In the second period the ball was again pushed across, Owsley going through the' line for the score. The third touchdown came in the third period in much the same fashion, a hammering with Owsley carrying the ball a scope after brilliant runs had put the university within scoring distance. The lineup: University. Position. Aggies.

Calderrezo had been unavoidably detained and later he was admitted to the papal audience with 20 other bluejackets from the battleship Utah and received with them the apostolic benediction. A special audience is to be given by the pope tomorrow to Rear Admirals Charles J. Badger and Cameron McR. Winslow and the other officers of the American fleet.

PROHIBITIONISTS PLAN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 14. Plans to raise a fund of $1,000,000 for the presidential campaign of 1916 and to elect 10 members of congress next year were outlined today by a "concentration committee" of prohibition party leaders. The "concentration committee" will decide later the 10 congressional districts in which it will make the fight. Education on the subject of national prohibition and the evils of the liquor traffic will be carried on systematically during the next few years, according to the conference of representatives of all temperance organizations In the country, which convened here today following the adjournment of the Anti-Saloon league convention.

This city paid Its respects today to the Indiana poet, James Whltcomb -Riley. In response to a special Invitation from all the civic and civil bodies of Cincinnati, Mr.

Riley came here today, lunched with 200 business men, inspected the chamber of commerce and was warmly greeted at the University of Cincinnati. It was planned to have 10,000 school children meet him at the train, but owing to the inclement weather this was abandoned, and instead 3,500 of them greeted him In Music hall. ARRAIGNMENT SET FOR TODAY Alleged to have embezzled f296 'while actios postmistress. Was supporting; aajed father, who la bow trying to make good. Contrary to the orders of Judge George M.

Bourquin and the peace and dignity of the United States, Winnlfred Rhoades will not appear In the federal court this morning to plead to a charge of embezzling postal funds while acting as postmistress at an office named Rhoades last July, because she was removed from the county jail yester day upon an order of the federal physician to St. James' hospital and there was born to her yesterday morning a son. A report of her condition from the hospital last evening said that both mother and dhild were doing nicely. Mrs. Rhoades came to Montana witt: her husband and aged father early this year and settled in Custer county.

The husband did not stay long in Montana, but continued west In search of work. Mrs. Rhoades stopped on a ranch and late secured a position as postmistress and named the office after her husband. She was indicted last Wednesday by the federal grand jury on three counts, one of embezzling $296.51 while employed as postmistress, another of failing to account for the money of the government when called upon by the postal Inspector, and the third of failing to deposit the money with 1 which she was intrusted by the government according to law. The alleged embezzlement was discovered July 28 last, when a postal Inspector went over the books and alleged he found a discrepancy.

When arraigned Thursday the woman refused to enter any plea, but asked for time in which to get an attorney. It was said at the samo time that the aged father was attempting to restore the alleged discrepaiicj' and that he was working on a ranch) near Rhoades. WOMAN MEMBER OF JURY VOTES AGAINST ACQUITTAL Seattle, Nov. 14. The Jury in the case of Peter Miller, on trial for the murder of Hugh McMahon, a bartender, who was garroted on the street on Thanksgiving night of 1908, disagreed today and was, discharged, the vote-being 11 to 1 for acquittal.

There were seven women and five men on the jury, and the obstinate Juror was a woman. Prosecuting Attorney Murphy said that Miller would be tried again. Miller, who is a learned man, and who made an able argument for himself during the receut-trial, is said by the. police to. be a criminal well known in eastern prisons.

He himself sa3 that he was never arrested before coming to Seattle except for addressing a socialist street me'eting in Spokane. Miller has been tried eight-times for burglary and is under 70 years' sentence. The principal evidence against Miller has always been that of a policeman or alleged stool pigeons "of the police. Twice the state supreme court has set aside convictions of Miller. He has appealed from all his convictions.

New Haven, Nov.

14. On the yellow and seared turf of Tale field tomorrow afternoon the varsity football elevens of Princeton and Yale universities will meet in the thirty-ninth annual game between the teams of these famous institutions. History and tradition have for years figured in th athletic contests of these rivals until, with the prestige of several de cades, the annual gridiron battles has developed Into a favorable classic fa mous in college song and story. The fact that both teams had pre viouslv suffered defeat and are there- fore eliminated from the Eastern championship race In no wise affected enthusiasm nr lnvaltv of their aunnorters. All else is forgotten, if not forgiven, in the meeting of Yale Early Beta Even.

Wagering on the outcome of the game is brisk with even money quota tions prevailing early in the evening, and there is the usual laying of freak bets, which hinge on the size of the score, method of scoring and other similar features. Considered broadly, the competing -I a r. 1 matrthail Eoth have experienced reverses in the season, but have finally rounded Into form for the crucial games of the au tumn. Judged entirely on the records ma.de during the past two months, Princeton appears to have a decided edge on the matter of comparative scores and general field showing, but as an offset to this It must be taken into consideration that the Yale team was slow in dexrelopment and did not rise to full strength until within the past 10 days. Starting with a comparatively lightweight squad and few veterans or stars, the 11 eleven has played by fits and starts all season.

At times the leading combination has shown flashes of really brilliant football, only to slump Into play which fell below the caliber a high school team. Carefully drilled In the fundamentals of the game, a strong defense was early developed, which later appeared to' be entirely forgotten. Weakest In Years. The offensive play of the team the September and October months was the weakest shown by a Tale team in years and Improvement In this respect has been slow In the past few weeks. Under the new coaching system, with Howard Jones charge, the practice has been severe and the injury list is unusually heavy.

The Tigers were far more fortunate In the matter of material at the be- -ginning or autumn. There were a number of heavy line candidates, and several fleet-footed backs, and as a result the coaches adopted the plan of building a team about these backs. The brunt of the scoring fell upon Captain Baker and Line-Plunger Streit. So long as the Princeton line could nold the charges of the opponents the plan worked well and Princeton marched forward unchecked until it met Dartmouth. On a water-soaked field the Hanover, team swept the Tiger linemen off their feet and upset the backs repeatedly In their tracks, finally winning toy a score of 6 to 0.

Realizing that the system in use did not develop the full effectiveness of the team strength, there was a radical shift following the Dartmouth game and a week later Princeton ran up a score of 54 to 0 against Holy Cross, scoring seven touchdowns by five players, seven goals, one field goal and one safety when a Holy Cross player was thrown behind his own line. The fact that Yale had scored but 10 to 0 and Harvard 47 to 7 against Holy Cross previously helped to raise the hopes of the Princeton clan and the showing made against the Harvard team last Saturday had aroused the orange and black brigade to revive the old 6ong, ot which the burden of refrain Is: Tor this is Princeton's year to win." Fair weather and a fast field are all that the teams need to make the game memorable. A stiff November wind rapidly dried out the turf, made wet by a morning rain. Princeton was a 10-to-7 favorite tonight. The lineups, as announced by the coaches tonight, follow: Yale.

Position. Princeton. Avery Hammond Left end. Talbot Phillips Left tackle. Ketcham Swart Left guard.

Marling E. Trenkman Center. Pendleton Simmons Right guard. Warren Right tackle. Bran Baker xiigm enu.

Wilson Gllck Quarter back. Ainsworth Law Left half back. Knowles H. Baker (captain) Right half hack. Dunn Streit' Full back.

CHIMSOX MES SWAP JOBS. Cambridge, Nov. 14. Another shift was made in the Harvard football team today. Hitchcock, who hag been playing left tackle, was moved to left guard, changing places with Gilman.

Except for the substitution of Freedley vfor Logan at quarter back in the first part of the game and the absence of Trumbull, who has not yet recovered from an illness, however. Harvard will face Brown tomorrow with the team that will meet Yale a week later. SOX WIS AT FRISCO. San Francisco, Nov. 14.

While the Yale-Princeton game takes pre cedence over the, Dartmouth-Carlisle contest, there is no denying that from a sectional championship view, the latter encounter is the more important. All roads lead to New Haven to night, for the olans are gathering to witness the final big gridiron encoun ter to be staged on Yale field. It falls to the lot of Princeton to be "Old Eli's" guest in the ceremonies that will mark the passing of this famous football arena. The Elis are determined to close the field's history with a victory, If possible. The orange and black, however, may this program.

Princeton has triumphed in every game except those against Dartmouth and Harvard, admittedly the two strongest elevens in the East. The Tiger has rolled up .178 points to Yale's 118, and defeated Holy Cross, a mutual opponent, 54 to 0, as against Yale's 10 to 0. Yale, while not called upon to face such formidable opponents, has 'been defeated by Colgate, 16 to 6. While Princeton and Yale are grappling at New Haven, Dartmouth and Carlisle will play in this. city.

This game is expected to develop a remarkable exhibition of open football. The two teams are composed of fast sprinting, powerful linesmen and back field players an appeared to be so evenly matched in gerenal all-around play that predictions regarding thei outcome are but mere guesswork. Harvard is not called upon to meet a particularly formidable foe In Brown and for that reason the leading crimson coaches and several of the star players will attend the Yale-Princeton game in order to see further light on the ability of the (blue which must be met a week hence at Cambridge. One eastern team invades the West, final lntersectional contest of the sea son, when Pennsylvania faces Mich-' DOPE IS UNRELIABLE FOR WESTERN GAME Minneapolis, Nov. 14.

Minneapolis crowded tonight with partisans of the University of Chicago and of the Minnesota team, which will battle for the premier football honors of the western intercollegiate conference on Northrup field tomorrow. The 23,000 reserved seats in the North rup stands have been sold and it is evident that every foot of standing room will be crowded. The usual eleventh-hour reports and rumors were in evidence, including stories of wholesale shifts and changes In lineups. The records of the two teams this year seem of little help In predicting the result Chicago has won every game this season with something to spare and Its offensive strength is admitted. Minnesota's early-season work was not particularly impressive and Nebraska took the measure of the Gophers Oct.

Coach Stagg gave 'the Chi cago players their final instructions today at a limbering-up drill held at a baseball park near the hotel at which the team is staying. The practice was se cret. QUAKERS DO FINAL WORK BEFORE MICHIGAN BATTLE Detroit, Nov.

14 Ooach Brooke drove the University of Pennsylvania football team through a snappy signal practice today at the Detroit Country club. It was the final workout before the game at Ann Arbor 'tomorrow with the University of Michigan. Chester Minds, the star full back, who yesterday injured his shoulder, was not able to practice today. Coach Brooke said tonight that Minds would not start in the game tomorrow. Avery will take his place.

The coach also said that Merrill would play quarter back instead of the speedy Dick Marshall. The latter" Inability to handle punts caused Brooke to make the change. RUBE GOES TO TEXAS FOR FIGHT WITH TUBERCULOSIS Minneapolis, Nov. 14. In spite of his belief of a week ago that he was suffering only from a slight attack of bronchitis, George E.

Waddell. famous as a baseball pitcher and known everywhere as "Rube," left Minneapolis tonight to begin a battle with tuberculosis at San Antonio, Texas. A short time ago a story was current that Rube had fallen a victim to the white plague. At that time he scoffed at the idea and said he was suffering from nothing more serious than a sevsre cold contracted while on a hunting trip. CARR IS CANDIDATE.

Indianapolis, Nov. 14. When the Federal league club managers meet in Chicago tomorrow to elect a president. the candidacy of Charles C. Carr ot this city will be urged by J.

Edward Krause, president of the local Federal league club. Carr was manager of the Indianapolis American association team, which won the pennant in 1908. He was manager of the Kansas City association team la 1912, but resigned before the close of last season. COULOS IS MISSIXG. Chicago, Nov.

Coulon has been hunting In the storm region of Canada for several months and until recently has written regularly to members of bis family here and to friends. TWO PLAYERS FOR SEALS.

Chicago, Nov. 14. Manager "Del" Howard of the San Francisco Pacific- Coast league team announced here today the purchase of Charles O'Leary, the former Detroit shortstop, and Pitcher Geyer from the St Louis National. Americans, Swedes, the French and the Germans. Of course, there is a lot of luck in golf.

That Is why the game Is so fascinating A It was neither too much nor too lit tle brains that was the cause of Jerome D. Travers being almost eliminated in the qualifying round of the amateur championship. It was Just doggone bad luck. But It was sheer mental concentration that carried him successfully through the succeeding' match rounds and the final. Strict attention to business as much as anything else earned Francis Oul-met his victory at Brookline.

During those exciting three hours it took to decide the historic triple play-off in the "open," Vardon and Hay played with delightful nonchalance, at least as far as the fateful fifteenth hole, where Ray got hopelessly trapped, but to what good purpose? Ouimet was out to win. He took practice swings, nicely calculated his approach shots, played carefully on the greens and won the championship. Brains won for Ouimet. That the real strain of playing hard golf is more mental than physical Is shown in the fate, of Francis Ouimet aim j. ti.

Mcuermott, both of whom are now suffering from nervous breakdowns as the result of too much competitive golf this season. New York Evening Sun. "It would be a coincidence of note If both Captains Storer and Ketcham should wind up their football careers at end after starting out as centers. On the Harvard varsity Storer has been everything in the line except guard, and Ketcham, at Yale, everything except tackle. Marting, who Is likely to be the center for the big game, has had lots of experience in playing the position as substitute to Ketcham, and it would not be surprising if he comes up to the Yale center standard, which is a nign one, Detore he gets through.

What a long list of capable centers the blue has had! The list contains such names as Holt, Olcott, Corbin, Cooi.uy, Flanders, Morris, Biddle, Roraback, Hockenburger, Cadwalader, Stiilman and Sanford, not to mention Hala and Chamberlain, who were shifted to other positions. Some of these men are all but forgotten in the rapid making of football history, but all made their mark at an institution where center play has been pretty near to invariably There have been cases of the punter's own end Jumping up and taking the ball on the bound while the opposing back was waiting for it to como to a standstill. Dana of Harvard djd it in the Cornell game. The ball, of course, belonged to the other side, but there was no chance for the opposing back to run it back. On the other hand, there was no chance for the opposing back to fumble and lose the ball for his side.

In a game of importance recently an over-zealous end ran down and fell on a punted ball in the opponents; 10-yard zone. The man playing back, for the other team calmly looked on and smiled. He had his head with him, for the offside man by touching the ball In the 10-yard zone made the play a touehback. Trev result was a scrimmage for the receiving side on the 20-yard line and-just that much gain. Gait of Michigan was the man who made quick use his knowledge of the rules to gain an advantage for his side.

"You can't fool Baker with anything," Walter Johnson told us during the late series. "How does he hit that fast one of yours?" we asked. "By rapping it on the nose," replied the genial Which explains at this late date Just why it was that Marquard, Demaree and Tesreau couldn't get by. Grantland Rice in Washington Times. One of the most important factors on a winning ball club la the disposition of the players, and this is a feature which scouts are much too apt to neglect in selecting young players for ptryout.

Too much reliance is placed on records, and altogether too little on the temper of the young athlete. Taking it for granted that a young player has speed and promise in a physical way, his disposition is the next big factor in his probable success. By disposition is meant his winning spirit, his desire to play ball to the best of his abllty and the intelligence which makes' him see that his own best Interests are served by always playing to win, regardless of his own record. Smart ball players all play to win. They do not care whether they make errors or not, provided they do not lose the game by so doing.

The wise fellows realize that their own success, artistically and financially, -depends on being with a winning club more than on any other one thing. Managers are the men who know more about disposition than any one else. To the average fan a player may appear to be doing what is required of him very well. He makes few errors, gets hits with frequency and looks But the manager may know better. He may be well aware of the fact that that player is playing more to the gallery than for the Interests of his club, and that he thinks more of his base hits than he does of winning the ball game.

The manager who can get together a team of hard-working fellows of the proper disposition has an easy row to hoe compared to the man who has to drive and foroe and drag his men through their battles. Such teams as the Athletics and the Wash-, ingtons of the American league are illustrations of the value of disposN tlon. The Athletics are bound to Con nle Mack bv ties of affection and respect, and they desire nothing better than to win for him. How strong this feeling is was shown when Davy Fults was around drumming up members for hit Ball Players' Protective asso for the spectators to tell who's who out there on the gridiron before them. The so-called new football, with its varying formations, has made the game more cor lex than ever.

This Was evinced at the Yale-Colgate game when the newspaper reports were most contradictory. Swartout, Ramsey, Ol ney and H. Sullivan variously were credited with making Colgate's first Riley, Swartout and Sullivan were variously ascribed as making the second touchdown, and the scribes even disagreed on the kick, er who booted the goal following the second tounchdown. There undoubtedly is a universal demand that something be done so as to make the players distinguishable to the spectators. Half of the Interest In the game is taken away by the specta tors having to guess on the perform ers.

If the New York club can get the Dartmouth and Carlisle managements to' allow the players to be numbered for the Polo grounds game, it. will be a feature in the cap of the New York club, and will serve as a big boost for the movement toward having the numbering of the players incorporated in the rules. If the New York club does succeed in arranging for the numbering of the players for the and the Army-Navy games, it can be assured there will be a satisfied lot spectators that will leave the Polo grounds after the game and not disgruntled lot of persons who are wondering what happened. New York Press. If" "Jim" Duncan of the Bradhurst Field club were Just a couple of Inches taller and had reach to match, the discus record would now be In the neighborhood of 160 feet.

This sounds almost impossible, but considering that "Jim" is only 5 feet 9 inches In his stocking feet, and that he, heaved the saucer to the world's record distance, of 156 ftet 1 inches In May, 1912, It is not unreasonable. "Jim" is the shortest discus thrower who ever won a championship, and only for his remarkable snap he never could throw within 20 feet of his best mark. All experts agree that to throtfr to good advantage a good leverage must be obtained. Such is possible only in athletes of six feet or over, with arms of proportionate -length. Among "Jim's" 'most ardent admirers are "Pat" McDonald, the Olympic shot-put champion, and "Pat" Ryan, who recently broke John Flannagan's world's record for throwing the 12-pound hammer.
