Crooker owner of 60 per cent of the Houston franchise the gent who started agitation to split the 1922 season announced several months ago the transfer of controlling interest to A Robinson This however was taken with a grain of salt by Houston fans who claimed to be in on the "know" Crooker's action they said was a move to shift a load of responsibility from his shoulders as president to Robinson who has been a director on the club and an ardent sup-'porter Belief was expressed that Crooker would retain a financial interest and furnish legal advice The Shreveport franchise has long

for a rally by the visitors in th a last three minutes of the game which placed them in dangerous juxtaposition to the Aggie goal the game was fought in Southwestern gridiron territory The Aggies

gained through the line almost will Two In Second Two touchdowns Were made In the second quarter two in the third and one in the fourth The seventh point was made on the first two touchdowns but three other attempts failed The lack of fighting ability shown by the Aggies in the first quarter spread gloom through the grandstands filled with thousands of Aggies and A faculty and ex-students 'who came to see the Aggies wipe out their two previous defeats and show themselvee ready for the conference games In that quarter the Farmers had the bill in their possession within the Southwestern 10- yard line three times and as many tihtes they lost the bait on downs without scoring It looked bad but was not long in the second tivarter before the Maroon and White 'grandstands were yelling as of old when Kyle Field had never known defeat Gill intercepted an attempted pass Aiken to Roach and ran 65 yards for the first touchdown Morris kicked goal On the kickoff following Miller received and

sets sail pennantward until the last ball is thrown And he does it without La Grave ever poking his head beyond the gate which separates the fans from the playing field This combination has proved a winner and if there is another In major or minor league baseball that tomparen wed like to hear from It Inoticeable when under the searching stare of fellow players and in the glare of the public limelight DESP1TE the fact that the Cats won their third successive pennant with almost the same intricate parts of the wteady baseball machine they boasted for two or three seasons previously it seems to be a foregone conclusion that there will be some new necks and heads and arms and legs protruding from 1923 Panther uniforms Just who they will be or when they will be corralled is not known now Paul La Grave is tt close trader and a tightlipped one He subscribes to the old saying "There's many a slip 'twist cup and lip" end until Paul has his deals cleanly bottled and tightly corked be doesn't spill any Information For that reason Fort Worth fans have never been "fed" during the off season with "carbarn rumors" of thisand that star who "ma' figure in a -deal which will bring strength to the Panther machine" La Grave believes in crawling into his bole when tile baseball eurfew rings In Septethber and after drawing the bole in after him aesidunualy devotes himself to the task of building for the next season--Then when the well known tocsin sounds the approaching battle La Grave steps out with bells on When he makes an announcement it is usually without fear of it being successfully contradicted QUITE a bit of time looms between DOW a nd the nit annual meeting of the minor leagues which is scheduled at Louisville on Dec then that day does arrive however it will probablyfind many Texas League owners standing in the trade marts offering players for sale or trade and carrying a large bundle of long green for the purchase of players La Grave and Atz will in all

Merritt the old Yale baseball and football player is deservedly coming on and acts in Penn-Swarthmore and Rutgers-Bucknell Altogether it looks like a strong list but it also shows that the Central Board must begin to break in new blood as the demand increases' 1 YOUR GAME to let the hands and arms go well through On this down swing there should be a feeling of the club head gathering increased speed with the right hand now taking over most of the work At the moment of impact but not too soon the right hand flicks the club head into the ball with the weight upon the left foot to brace for the shock If the timing has been right the club head will still be picking up apeed as it goes on through the bail- and will not be fading out a few inches beyond it Pulling away just when striking will shorten any drive Lunging at the ball will do the SOMP All this time you are not conscious of any effort to overdo the thing if you are going about it in the right way A few fine players may press and often get away with it But it is not the right method for getting distance as far as the average player is concerned He can't afford to 'try too hard for if he does the body is almost sure to cut in ahead of the arms and then he is merely pulling against himself with no power left Distance comes from leverage under control and there can be no whip or snap or leverage in a physical way if one's mental attitude is overeager or overdetermined Have you ever noticed how much further you frequently got when you were merely trying to play the bail ssfe and were not after any great distance? This is because your effort is natural and not and that means the club head Is allow ed to go a weepIng on through with the right snap Steer Johnson Clear of Gibbons Warns Coulon If those misguided followers of the fight game who are trying to press-agent Floyd Johnson the latest heavyweight sensation into a title bout with Jack Dempsey want to keep thetr protege'' path clear of thorns they will do well to steer him' clear of Tom Gibbons Tilts is the judgment of Johnny Coulon former bantam champion the "man you can't lift" who has been holding forth at a theater here all this week" "Gibbons knows too much for Johnson" Raid Johnny To send the youngnter against such a fighter as Tom now might be a deathblow to hie championship hopes for the decisive beating he would be almost sure to get would rob him of all the confidence his rapid advance to this point has given him" Gibbons' decirive defeat of Billy Miske (save for a foul) Friday night predicted by Coulon in The star-Telegram convinced the former king of the -runtm that Tom is the best man in the ring today barring Dempsey No use figuring on anyone whipping Jack" he said "He is in a class by himself But If the public wants to see him extended and forced to show everything he has Gibbons can do it "Tom is almost au ideal everything as they say Idiske is no mark for any showed that by going into his third bout with Dempsey before he succumbed to Jack's kayo wallop But Tom made him look like a novice He probably was making no special effort to knock Billy Out He knew he was Hiske's master at boxing and was winning by the route he knew was surest He just went in there and threw gloves at Misks by th armful without taking the time or trouble to 'load up' on any of them He had the fight won It was the hardest kind of luck that a font decision had to rob him of a clean-cut victory" of assignments and nil) be an exitfrt on the quality of a number of teams when he finishes the following: Yale-Hates Harvard-Centre and Yale-West Point Crowell will see the fol lowing games at the expenFe of the manarement: Princeton-Colgate Ilrown-Lehigh Penn State-Syracuse Penn State-Navy Lafayette-Washington Jefferson and Lafayette-Lehigh McCarty has come up rapidly into the favor of the big fellows and will handle Penn-Swarthmore Penn State-Syracuse Cornail-Dartmouth Penn-Penn State Lafayette-Lehigh and Pittsburg-Penn State Eckersall To Be nosy Walter Eckersall the star little roan ter years ago of the Chicago team now grown considerably stouter of figure will handle Minnesota-Northwestern Illinois-Michigan Notre Dame-Purdue BUILDING UP BY JAMES BARNES The tack of Distance Some time ago a certain golfer came to lie with this statement which may interest about nine-tenths of those playing the game: "I know" he raid that I am as strong as the average man My hands and wrists are strong enough so why is it that I can't get any distance in this game? The harder I swing the worse off I seem to be" In the first plate he showed me his main error in this last statement Trying too hard to get distance is the surtst way not to get It For distance comes from -a relaxed body where the wrists are flexible enough to snap into the ball and when the average golfer is over-trying his body is almost sure to be stiff antt rigid with his wrists in the same fix When the average golfer decides he Is going to knock the ball a mile you can see almost the same things happen every time He first grips the club tightly with both hands in his determination to hit hard This tight grip means stiff wrists without any leverage Then you can see his body stiffen with his legs set and fixed as be gets ready to swing He is doing everything that he shouldn't do He isn't planning to get distance as he thinks be is but he is all set not to get it Main Faults With the legs and body rigid under extra presusre there is no chance now for the left knee and body to turn on the back swing There is no chance to pivot in the right way for this comes only from a relaxed position This lack of turning means lack of balance at the top of the swing and it also means that the head Is almost sure to move With the wrists stiff and rigid there Is no way then to have the club head thrown at the ball In place of having the club bead thrown out after the bail it is pushed or carried out too much like a mashie shot If the body doesn't turn with the swing it Is usually pulled away or straightened up Distance comes from flexibility and ease not so much from stiffness and effort Naturally one has to hit hard enough to iret there but this hit must be a free natural effort that carries the 1 club sailing on through And if you are thinking too much about distance you are almost -sure to hit too soon In your eagerness or anxiety to swipe away You can't wait long enough for the moment of Impact if you are overanxious to knock the cover off Advice to be Followest In going after distance the first point to make is to be sure you have a comfortable stance and that your wrists and body are at least normal The left hand will have a firm grill on the club but not one of those crushing grips The right hand will grip even easier Have no feeling of trying too hard of gripping too tightly of being too set On the back swing see that the left arm is straight but not rigid See that the right elbow isn't carried too high Keep it comfortably in by the body Don't Overswing Don't overawing letting the club take 144 normal distance back iv IV th the head used as an anchor and body relaxed and easy don't be in big a hurry to kill the ball On the back swing let the left knee turn in toward the ball with the weight more on the right foot and the body turning in a natural way against Just as if you were going to throw a baseball On the down swing don't be In too big a hurry to hit The left hand is holding the club firmly and the right Is now ready to take up Its work Here again the body must turn into the shot I 1 -c!
