When He Picks Up Driver That Has Too Much Weight for Him. Mitchell, Mac Smith Heft to Their Weapons But Giant Ducky Yates Prefers Lightness and Speed. BY GRANTLAND RICK.

A golfer lucky enough to face future, wants to know whether It jjcnvv ciuos, memnm weignt or ngmweigni. Prescribing for an Individual floundering In a fog. But it might (I most golfers play with cluha too heavy for effective work. This Is one of the most common of all golfing faults this selection of improperly weigntea instruments. in tne nrst place there is a reeling or tension when one picks up a heavy clvb.

There Is. under such conditions, the immediate feel of conscious effort In swinging so much weight. Heavy clubs are for power- Iully mult golfers who are also in Abe Mitchell swings a driver that weighs 15V or 16 ounces. Mac Smith swings a driver that weighs IS or 154 ounces. Mitchell has Of Howley 'Red' Is One of Baseball Great Pitchers and Can Hit Hard and Often.

New York, Deo. 7. (A. As Dan Howley goes about the task of rebuilding the crumbling pitch ing staff of the Cincinnati Reds one of the reddest of the Reds, Charles Fred Lucas, must be a great com fort to him. Lucas Is one of the great pitchers of baseball.

Last year ne won i games lor a sec ond division club, beating his best record with the club by one game. He won 18 in 192T. In 1928 he could win only 13, for he was hurt after he had started with a great rush, compiling eight victories be fore he was stopped. He was the best pinch hitter in the National league in 1928, and it is always encouraging to have a pitcher on the bench, or in the game for that matter, who can hit the ball hard and often. Red batted just a few points short of .300.

His ability to hit better than most pitchers is explained by the fact that he is also an lniielder or outfielder. If ne could not pitch he could qualify for a major league position in the regular lineup. BRAZlLlVEN PRAISEOFFOES Marquette Places Titan Star on All-Opponent Team This Season. Anderson Also Named for Squad Holy Cross Gets Three Berths. Milwaukee, Dec.

7. Holy Cross college, Worcester, places three men on the all-opponent team picked at Marquette university by football stars and sports writers for The Marquette Tribune, student newspaper. Holy Cross defeated Marquette this fall, 7 to 0. Boston college and University of Detroit each placed two men on the all-opponent team, while Kansas Aggies, Grinnell, Iowa State and Creighton each landed one. Lawrence college was the only team not to place in the local selection.

The local writers and football men picked but one team, and were unanimous In most of their selections. The team follows: Left end Murphy, Boston college. Left tackle Anderson, University of Detroit. Left guard Morclll, Boston college. Center Bergln, Holy Cross.

Right guard Bauman, Kansas Aggies. Right tackle Clark, Holy Cross. Rnght end Alzerlnl, Holy Cross. Left halfback Brazil, University of Detroit. Right halfback Bennett, Iowa State.

Spoon Is Lighter. For the average golfer a driver weighing 13 ounces Is heavy enough.

His brassle should weigh the same, with the spoon a bit lighter. After much experimenting, Ducky Yates, who weighs over 220, and who Is a hard hitter, finally decided to use a driver weighing only a shade over 12 ounces. The wooden clubs ha used last winter are as light as the. ones Glenna Collet plays with. Tet he found he could get better distance and have better control with these lighter weapons.

I saw him carry Into a trap guarding a green about 260 yards away with his 12-ounce driver. Easier Action Results. There is a feeling of easier hand and wrist action with a lighter club. There Isn't quite the same tendency toward tightening up In an effort to get up the needed speed. Hands, wrists, arms and body are more Inclined to keep relaxed where one has the feeling that It doesn't take much effort to swing a certain club.

One has this feeling with a lighter club, where it is missing when one picks up a bludgeon. If one could swing a heavier club at the same speed one can swing a lighter weapon he would get a trifle longer ball. But the average golfer can't. More than that, the average golfer will swing the head of a heavy club at much less epeed. He will be more Inclined to sat his body out of place In the awing as a helping force always at a spot where it hurts or hinders far more than It helps.

Make, Swing Simpler. Lighter clubs are easier and simpler to time and much easier to control. They are more likely to bring In the right wrist action and to keep their place In the awing. As it Is now. entirely too many polfers are using clubs too heavy for accurate or consistent piny.

The club Isn't everything, but after all It has Its work to do, and It is a part of the swing. Many golfers use heavy clubs to alow down their back swings, to rut out the rushing. They can do the same thing with lighter clubs by lightening the grip and concentrating more on a smooth, even back swing that Isn't hurried. It Is an experiment that will be found worth trying on the part of those now planning to start for the land of the sun and the divot, where the grass Is still green and the winds are still balmy.

According to a ruling which the Detroit F. C. has received from Thomas W. Cahlll, secretary of the U. S.

F. Holley Carburetor stands no chance of having its protest against Player C. Rennqx substantiated. The objection was lodged on the ground that Rennox, a member of the Detroit team which defeated Holley on Thanksgiving dav. was held by Grimsby Town of the English league on its transfer list, which made him Ineligible to play for any other club.

Secretary Cahill states that a foreign player who has not violated any contractual obligation, and has not been placed under suspension by his club, is not debarred from an engagement in this country, inasmuch as the U. S. F. A. does not recognize a transfer demand as binding on the player.

If he had jumped his contract, or was under suspension for any cause, he would automatically be suspended anywhere under the jurisdiction of the International Federation. Inquiries, however, have failed to elicit anything against Rennox, excepting that should he return to England he will revert to his former club, which Is asking 500 for his contract. Nomads Get Home.

Olympics Gets Goals. In eight games, the Olympics have tallied 34 goals, while Buffalo boasts the romarkablo record of having been scored upon only eight times in seven games, this despite the wide open game afforded by the new forward pass and anti-defense rules. One of the reasons, and nrobablv the greatest one, for Buffalo's remarkable defensive record Is Bill Taugher, talented goal tender, who has been breaklnu the hearts of ambitious snipers since the season opened. It la reported that Taugher has a clause in his contract that calls for a bonus if he finishes the season with the best goal tending record, which may account at least in part lor nis impressive record to date. In front of Taugher, Buffalo has high class defense In Voss or the ancient "Dutch" Cain! On the line, the Bisons hnv nn shown a great deal of punch but they have a smart pair of sharpshooters in Ronnie Martin and Bo- garuis witn Koter Roth the pivot of most of Buffalo's attacks.

Titleholders of 1928 Meet Central in First Contest On Olympia Ice. Detroit high schools will start their second hockey season tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock on the Olympia Ice.

Cass Tech, undefeated tltleholder of 1928 with eleven straight victories, Is back with a strong team captained by Stanley Urbanek.

Urbanek Is the only veteran who is eligible for the entire season. Herbert Holllday, star winger. Is eligible to piny only till January, when he will be graduated.

Action Will Also Be Taken on Stand cf Metropolitan League Split May Occur Between Two Athletic Bodies. BY JIM RENICK.

Dale Alexander Sets Mark for Rookies Daring His First Season in Majors 1 Final decision in the University of Detroit high school suspension case will be settled Wednesday at Lansing when members of the State High School Athletic council convene to take action on the stand of the Metropolitan league In refusing to forfeit the University of Detroit football games after one of the players had ben declared Ineligible. The Metropolitan council declared Frank Morsey, U. of D. halfback, ineligible but at the same time voted to allow all games In the city league to stand. A few days later the state board ruled on the case and not only declared Morsey ineligible but declared all games forfeited and asked the Metropolitan board to recind its previous ruling.

This the Metropolitan board refused to do, stating that it had al ways handled its own eligibility cases before and could see no rea son why the state should interfere in this case. Passes Resolution. The state council stated that it looked upon the action of the Metropolitan league as an open defi and would give it until December 11 to reconsider its action. During the time the city board has taken no action on the case. The state board passed the following resolution: I he executive committee of the Michigan High School Athletic as- I'a" nve years, of inspira- inm una cume 10 me assocla- ay lift the suspension of the University school providing the Metropolitan board falls In line and declares all games forfeited.

If this ultimatum is issued by the state board the result is problematical. That the city league does not wish to draw additional wrath upon itself is shown by the fact that it has ordered the U. of hockey game, (scheduled for Monday afternoon, to be postponed until after the meeting Wednesday. If Cooley played against U. of D.

while it is still on the suspended list then it would automatically become suspended. U. of D. already has been forced to cancel two of its basketball games with state schools due to this same reason. Whether the postponing of the hockey game means that the city board is back ing aown on Its original stand or not remains to be seen.

If this is the case then U. of D. mav find itself without a winter's sport program. University officials, however, are hopeful that the situation will be cleared up Wednesday and that the school will be restored to good standing. If the Metropolitan league refuses to rescind Its previous action then a break with the state hoard seems inevitable which would mean that two district athletic organlza- nons win De functioning in the state, yet games would not be played between schools represented in the two groups.

Vaughn S. Blanchard, director of Metropolitan league athletics, Is of the opinion that the cltv could function Independently while state officials seem to believe that the city league needs the state schools in order to get along properly. Should the two organizations split Wednesday it will mean that the winter program of many schools will be disrupted as many city teams have scheduled state teams in basketball, swimming and track. These schedules would all have to be revised and many open dates probably would result DETROIT TECH HAS OPEN DATE Detroit Institute of Technology's basketball team has an open date this week, but will play two more games before the holidays.

Not always a champion, but good enough to be ranked as the man a champion had to beat, Taberski now Is faced with one of' the hardest tests of his colorful career. It will be a teat where he is apt to need all the strategy at his command to lead the field at the finish. Heading the group as contenders are Ralph Greenleaf and Erwin Rudolph, former champions, and Pasquale Natalie, third ranking player in the country.

This group qualified for the world's championship tournaey by reason of their standing In last year's tourney, where Taberski conquered Green-leaf in the final. Camp Gets Chance. four other players are included In the list of contenders. They are the winners of sectional tournaments held in various sections of the country In an effort to bring new blood Into the annual winter classic. Heading this group is Marcel Camp, Michigan state champion and winner of the northern qualifying round.

The others are: Onofrlo Laurl, of Brooklyn; Joseph McCann, Jacksonville, and Spencer I.ivsey, winner of the western qualifying round. Strangely enough, the pairings for the opening game bring together Camp, the youngest, player in the tourney, and Taberski. the eldest among the entries.

Dale, by the way, was the first American league rookie to break in with more than 200 hits since 1911 when Joe Jackson gathered 238 afe drives. Detroit is said to have paid or more for Alexander and Johnny Prudhomme, a right hand pitcher. Prudhomme failed to distinguish himself but Frank Navin, Detroit club owner, when he reviews Alexander's first season as a major leaguer, probably figures his Investment a wise one.
