In the first and eighth, however, Barrett stag gered his opponent with rights to the jaws. ' . , to cease to be friends until the night of the bout. But hostility imme diately arose between them and yes terday it came near culminating in a rough and tumble fight. Schlaifer was pounding the punch ing bag. Logan was waiting for it. But he waited too long, he thought, and told Schlaifer so. Schlaifer told him to go . somewhere, which wouldn't sound good in print, and then business picked tip.

Des Moines. Ia.. Dec. 4. The an nual Drake relay carnival will go into competition with the Penn relay meet held at Philadelphia tinder the auspices of Pennsylvania university, it became known here last night when Kenneth' L. - Wilson,8 athletic director of Drake university, an nounced that the Des Moines insti tution would stage its meet April 29. ; This date coincides with that set for the eastern track classic. In former, years Drake's relay meet has been held one week before the Penn relays. This change in date was due pri marily, to-.action on the part of va rious "schools in the "big ten" con ference who" expressed .emphatic disapproval of any further , partici pation in the Penn relays. This attitude is said to have been caused by eastern colleges refusing to attend the national intercolle giate track meet which was held last spring by Chicago university. : Several members, of the "big ten" have placed the Drake relay carnival on their track schedules and as a result the local institution plans a more extensive trek and field pro gram than ever. . Price of Golf Balls Reduced to 75 Cents Chicago,; Dec: 4. Golf will cost less this year than it has for sever al years, partly on account of the reduction of the war tax on sport ing goods. A leading manufactur er today announced that the price of the highest grade golf balls would be reduced January 1 from $1 to 75 cents, the prewar price. It was indicated that the price of golf clubs and bags also would come down.

The Glutt did meet Gink once or twice on numerous occasions. But the Glutt's rep for bulldozing was un earned increment. When Gink was at the apex of his power and brass knuckles the Glutt met Gink in the Roughtown cafe and started digging for clams in Gink's oyster stew. Gink spanked him so hard that the Glutt skimmed out the door and bounced back. Piped by Mayor's Daughter. When the mayor's daughter piped the Glutt looping back, she thought he was the bravest man in some parts of the world. She didn't know that it was all one trip. Being in the cafe for the second time on one fare, the Glutt had to make his bluff good. He walked tip to Gink and caught him about four miles outside of Roughtown. Gink -changed the conversation very adroitly. No matter what they say about the Roughtown champ, he was adroit. He didn't know how to spell it, but he was a bug on adroit ness. Having been bopped forth and also having bounced back like a forged check,, the Glutt didn't know anything about adroit business. He couldn't explain to the mayor's daughter that his black and blue ex cursion was the needles. - This made Tarantula so sore that she demanded a recount on her old man's election. The mayor slugged the board of aldermen. He was ever thrifty and didn't believe in cracking bad eggs unless you were going .to make worse omelets. .Twas a Vicious Fight. When Gink and the Glutt fought the, last time, the Roughtown R. R. built a four-track spur right between them during the hottest part of the fighting without interfering with the contest. That shows how vicious they scuffed in the good old days before prohibition came and le.ft The Glutt was wearing his famous banana skin shoes. Gink would still be champion if the canvas hadn't worn out his elbows. - He was always 'adroit. CAii imp iXlUg Learn Golf, From Bottom, Says Hutchinson Champion Declares That Fu ture of Many Club Swing ers Marred by Imperfect Teaching. By FRANK G. MENKE. "Jocka da HutchJ opines as fol lows: "The soundest adtce that can be given to any man who suddenly be comes afflicted with golf enthusiasm is: Hire a professional to show you the rudiments of the game. "Jocka da Hutch," the American who won the British open golfing championship under his baptismal name of Jock Hutchinson, has the idea that the future greatness of many natural golf ing wonders is mar red by imperfect early teaching. "There is anoth er reason, too," as serts Hutchinson, "And that is a lot of golfers, having reached a certain tti&fsh'A.rsi a.munt of perfec iiun, uccainc sans tied with themselves. They forget mar, mere is always room for im provement. They stand still while tneir rivals, cognizant of the colden rule, keep on trvinsr to learn mora and more about the game and, as a result, those students whip the other teiiow. Golf Is Catching. lit ... usually wnen a man decides tn take up "golf he does it unconsciously rather than with intent. He nroh- ably decides he is only going to walk around the links with a friend. Eventually he gets a chance to drive or putt the ball. This part of the game fascinates him and he gradual ly increases the scope of his golfing eimeavor. "The mistake, is that at such a time we oeginner, almost refusing to concede that he is a beginner, tries to pick uo knowledee of colfinir himself or let some friend of medi ocre ability, teach him. . That makes for a wrong start. . . . '. ,' some certain style, a certain way of swinging at the ball and a certain stance which may be entirely wrong aim yer ine proiessionai, wno event ually takes up the teaching of that leuow, nnas it almost difficult to make him change. i Outstanding Fault. "The outstanding fault of the be ginner,, in my-opinion, seems to.' be eagerness to hit, the ball high -into the air. It is a peculiar idea among the starters that lofting a ball means distance. It doesn't mean anything of the sort The drive that goes the. farthest is one which doesn't carry very high, i "It may not be so spectacular a thing to watch as the high drive, but in golf.it is 'the result and not the, spectacular thing that counts. "Whenever anyone who is about to start in golf comes to me for teach ing, the very first thing I do. is to tell them to study each club carefully. The beginner, by taking the driver and studying its lines will readily note that its face is almost but not wholly straight, By comparing it with the brassie he will note the difference between the two. He read ily will understand then why the driv er is used for the tee . and why the brassie is used on the -grass. . Study the Clubs. "You might spend a lot of time trying to explain to a man why two clubs which look so much alike serve different purposes. But if you get that fellow comparing the two sticks, he will grasp in five minutes time more than words can force onto him in a whole day. "Every iron club is different. Each . T - acivcs a uiiiurent purpose. It you tried to explain, from having -"clubs as exhibits, why a midiron does this and a mashie does that, it would be a rather hard task. But let the be ginner have these clubs, have him study the general lines of the head of each and he soon will grasp the reason why. " . "The one mistake of the person who has just taken up golf is his unwill ingness to let the club head do its part. He seems to want to do all fhe driving with his arms and his wrists. He seems to minimize the all-important fact that the perfectly- timed crash of club against ball will send the gutta percha infinitely far ther then a poorly-timed swing which carries the weight of a 200-pounder behind it. Get Good Teacher. "But, after all is said and done, the main advice that I would give to be ginners is a reiteration of my earlier statement get a competent teacher to teach you how to olav solf cor rectly before incompetents have taught you imperfectly and perhaps ruined your natural ability.

The annual tennis tournament of the conference will be held at Lawrence, May 26 and 27. The faculty members also adopted a new rule governing the accredited list of foot ball officials, which pro vides that the present list shall be revised and rechecked and no offi cial shall be approved who has play ed or officiated in a professional foot ball game. Interpretation of the new rule, as explained by the faculty members present, provides that the rule will not be retroactive and will date from the time of adoption. A ruling adopted allows the cham pionship basket ball team of con ference to meet an intersectional rival representing- another conference in one game, or rtn a series -of garaes not to exceed three. . ' The indoor track meet, which was awarded to Kansas " City by.' the coaches, and which will be held at convention hall March 25, was approved. WITH "Mike" Finn, secretary and half-owner of, the Omaha' West ern 'league' Buffaloes, 'On a committee with jack Holland of -Oklahoma City to draw tip the 1922 league schedule, it seems certain that Omaha will at least have two or three games on the local lot during the summer months. .-. . , During recent years and especially last season, the local club along with Des Moines and Sioux City, seemed to get the bad part of the sched ule. The Buffaloes, Boosters and Packers were generally at home during me rainy pan or ine season . Northern clubs were required to open their seasons in the south last year and therefore did cot get a. chance to show at home until the season was well' under - way. , This didn t particularly meet with the ap proval-of the home fans, nor ' did it help the team. Finn is in favor of allowing the northern clubs to open with, northern clubs and southern teams start the season with southern teams. Wheth er Holland will agree to this is an other question, but with "Mike" on one end it s a safe bet that the south era magnate won't have everything his own way. Ed W. Smith, writing in the Chi cago American, says: "Boxing has been going along in good shape in Omaha, although the city is said to have suffered from the presence of too many clubs. Omaha may have too many, fight clubs, but if the fight programs turn ed out to be fight programs instead of what several of them have turn ed out to be it wouldn't be quite so bad for the game, especially in this city.
