    Olympics Lose
) Hard, Fast Game
Rock Islanders Outweigh and
Outplay Fast Omaha
Squad.
Handicapped by the loss of two
outstanding players and with others
In the lineup who were suffering
from old Injuries the Omaha Olym
pics went down to their first defeat
yesterday when they clashed the
fast, heavy squad from Hock Island.
The final score was Rock Island, 22;
Olympics, C.
The game was fast and both teams
played football all of the time. That
is all the time when they were not
arming about a decision. The offi
cials made some poor gussess, first
for one team a nd then for the other,
and each time the team a gainst
whom the decision was made wanted
to argue about everything In gen
eral.
At that the game was tough, and
even though they lost the Olympics
let the Rock Islanders know that
there had been a tough scrap. Rock
Island was unable to break through
the Blue and White line for any
long gains. True they seldom failed
to make ft few yards, but It Is equal
ly true that they lost the ball sev
eral times on downs.
The Olympics couldn’t get through
the Rock Island line very well and
were forced to punt often, but neither
team played the other off its feet.
Rock Island made their first score
Just 6 minutes after the play had
started.
Omaha kicked off and the Rock
Island man was stopped almost at
once. On the first play Kuehl got
through the Olympic line for five
yards. Then Phalen made five yards.
Then the play alternated for a time
t between Kuehl and Phalen. Each
succeeded in making slight gains
through the line. An offside penalty
cost the Rock Inlanders a few yards,
and immediately afterward Arm
strong got away around end for 14
yards. Kuehl was nailed behind the
line on the next play and on the next,
a forward pass, Armstrong to Wil
son, took the ball to Omaha's 30-yard
line. Two unsuccessful line bucks
and Oiaver got away with a forward
pass from Armstrong and crossed the
goal line. The try for point was
missed and the score stood Rock
Island, 6; Olympics, 0.
When the Rock Islanders kicked
off Pld Purdy took the ball, and with
brilliant broken-field running, re
turned it to the Rock Island 39-yard
line. A series of line plays netted
the Olympics a first down. A for
ward pass failed, more line bucks
netted the Omahans only a few yards,
and the Olympics lost the ball on
an attempt'd placekick.
Rock Island lost the ball a few
plays later on a broken formard pass,
Purdy nailing it. Purdy nailed the
n :;t punt and carried it back 22
yards. Cotton roughed a little and
Rock Island wag penalized 10 yards.
From then on the Olympics bucked
the linn and slowly advanced the ball
g down the field. The quarter ended
with the ball within striking dis
tance of the goal.
At .thu start of the second quarter
rB?Ae* Olympics lost the ball on a for
ward pass over the goal line. The
Olympic line held and Rock Island
punted. The Rock Island line held
and the Olympics punted. The ball
was brought back by fast plays to
Olympic territory and In a few plays
was taken over by Phalen for another
score.
Leahy received the kickoff and
stepped back to make a safety. In
stepping he crossed the goal line and
Rock Island scored a touchback. The
score then stood 15 to 0 In favor of
Rock Island.
The thlr dquarter was a repetition
of the other two. both teams were
playing hard, but little ground was
gained.
In the fourth period Terrible
Thompson got away with an Inter
cepted pass and ran 50 yards for a
touchdown. It was a brilliant piece
of work. The try for point was
missed.
Toward the end of the quarter
Rock Island succeeded In completing
a pass over the goal line for Its last
score. The Olympics were unable to
•core again.
Swanson was out of the game. He
had been called to Lincoln because
of illness in his family and was un
able to get back.

Eut the ailing Tigers, who had
been pronounced a sure loss, forcing
Nebraska to exceed Itself to stave off
possible defeat.
Starting with a rush, Missouri put
over a touchdown—the first time the
Tigers had crossed the Huskers’ goal
line since 1899. Then Captain Lewel
lyn jumped into the game, despite
stiff neck, and saved the day for Ne
braska. Intercepting a Missouri
pass, he raced 60 yards to a touch
down that enabled his team to tie
the score. Thereafter neither side
could summon enouch strength to
break the deadlock.

To Establish School
for Promising Young
Stars From Sandlots
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 28.—Establishment
of a training school for promising
young baseball players from the sarnl
lots and college diamonds was pro
posed today by John A. Heydler,
president of the National l&gue, In
a statement declaring he believed
little would be gained by resump
tion of draft relations between the
majors and big minors.
President Heydler also declared
against the excessive prices that num
erous minor league stars have
brought, asserting that the Invest
ments had brought comparatively
little return and pointing out that
better results were being obtained by
the majors through development of
their players from sandlots and col
lege material A training school, he
added, with old major leaguers as
instructors would afford* an Ideal
method of giving preliminary develop
ment to budding stars.
President Heydler's statement was
prompted by the recent proposal of a
$10,000 draft price limit for players
from class A leagues which will be
laid be/ore the Pacific Coast league
at Its annual meeting next month.

compromise move toward re-establish
tng draft relations with the majors.
The Pacific coast Is one of five big
minor leagues which do not recognize
the draft system. The others are
the American association, Interna
tional, Western and Three Eye
leagues.

Dartmouth Win
Stands Out in East
Victory a Surprise ami Haw
ley's Stoek Is
Raised.
By Associated I’rfwt.
New Volk, Oct. 28.—The name of
Jesse Hawley, Dartmouth coach, re
ceived prominent mention wherever
foothill I was discussed today, for
among the many noteworthy gridiron
happenings of Saturday that which
stands out as most sensational was
the 16 to 0 defeat of Harvard's stal
wart eleven by (ho green clad war
riors from Hanover, N. H.
There was a crisp decisiveness
about the Dartmouth triumph which
left no room for alibis. Two touch
downs clearly earned and a 40-yard
placement goal from the field, plus
a point after touchdown, gave Dart
mouth Its winning margin. The fact
that Dartmouth held its goal line
inviolate and piled up a total gain in
rushes and passes and a total gain
in first downs far exceeding the
crimson testified to the unquestion
able superiority of the Hanoverians.
The accomplishment is considered
the more remurkable because Har
vard boasted a decided advantage in
weight and in playing experience, for
when Hawley took over the Dart
mouth coaching assignment this year
he found only four veterans available
and only one new comer of reputed
strength and skin, while only three
days before the Harvard game Chuck
Calder, his best lticker' and triple
threat back, was declared Ineligible.
Yet with four veterans, five re
cruits from last season's freshman
eleven and two substitutes of last
year s varsity, Hawley wrecked Har
vard’s far-famed attack and over
, coming Harvard’s unusually sturdy
defense, thereby placing the green In
football’s forefront as one of the four
more important eastern elevens boast
ing victories over all teams thus far
encountered.
There were many other noteworthy
occurrences in Saturday’s football
play. The defeat of Pittsburgh by Its
next door neighbor, Carnegie Tech,
was one of the biggest upsets.
• Slightly under ranking the Dart
inouth-Harvard and Pittsburgh-Car
negle games were Pennsylvania’s vic
tory over Centre of Kentucky, 24
to 0; Williams’ third successive tri
umph over Columbia. 10 to 0, and the
bitterly waged tie contorts between
Penn State and 'West Virginia
ITlnceton and Navy and Rutgers and
Lafayette, the respective scores of
which were 13-13, 3-3 and 6 6.
From an interfectional viewpoint
the east score** <. slight advantage
over rival r itJPns, with Pennsyl
vania's victo*«*f over Centre, Wash
ington and Jefferson's 6 to 0 win over
Detroit and Colgate's 27 to 0 triumph
over Ohio Wesleyan counting for the
east against Marquette's 7 to 6 vic
tory over Boston college and Obt-rlin's
14 to 7 win over Amherst.
Of the latter group the most spec
tacular and stubbornly fought fray
was that between Boston college and
Marquette. The westerners had not
been defeated since 1921 and Boston
college had visions of wrecking that
record, when, in the third period,
Darling, Boston captain, whirled
through the Marquette defense for a
touchdown. Boston failed to make
the point after touchdoSvn and the
score remained in their favor until
late In the final quarter, a Boston
back fumbled on his own three yard
iine and Marquette scored the tying
touchdown. Then Marquette called
Into the game Bed Dunn, who had
broken his arm early In the fray ami
who with his arm strapped to his
side, kicked the winning point from
placement.
Big Three prestige suffered con
siderably through the Harvard de
feat and the Princeton tie. At pres
ent Yale Is the only member of the
three with a clean slate. The Klls
had less trouble than was expected
against Brown, scoring 21 points.

Army and Princeton followed with
Interest the game between the South

I Vales* of a
' Just what do you mean,” demands
a reader, "by letting the club do
more of the work? I can’t quite fol
low you on this phrase. The club is
an inanimate instrument at the mer
cy of the player and can in no sense
do more nor less than the player so
directs."
The advice to "let the club do mv»re
work" is merely a line in restraint.
Ninety per cent of all who play are
too keen to hit the ball. There is an
eagerness that gets their bodies in
ahead of their hands, their hands in
ahead of the swing.
There Is a great fault of extra ef
fort, of striving too hard for dls
tanco or direction.
Now. the club, although Inanimate,
is also part of the awing. That la. it
has Its work to do. It must be given
some consideration, allowed to have
Its share of the enterprise. It is not
to he Ignored completely, with the
body, hands and arms doing It all.
For when there Is a complete Ignoring
of the club and the club head It Is al
most certain to drag along behind the
Job. In letting the club do more of
the work the grip, while firm, should
be lightened until one can feel the
club head? This is almost Impossible
where the grip Is vise like and some
what strained. The tighter one grips
the less he feels the weight of 4 the
club head and the more likely he is
to handle the entire instrument as
a dead stick of wood. When -the
down swing is started there should
he a feeling of the club and club head
traveling smoothly on its way. There
can lie no such feeling when one at
tempts to hit too quickly, for then
the down sweep of the club head is
checked and its momentum halted be
fore the blade reaches the ball.
When l-'e average golfer is swing
ing at a cigar stump or a dandelion
or a leaf, he generally lets the club
head do Its share of the work. It
comes hurtling on through in the
most powerful of swings. Everything
is perfect here because no restraint
is put upon the club at the wrong
spot. It Is only when the ball Is
taking the place of cigar stump or
dandelion that the trouble begins. For
at this moment a certain tenseness
creeps insidiously through the eys
tern, strain and rigidity set in. anil
the work of the Hub and club head
are forgotten in a mixture of fear,
anxiety, eagerness and effort. The
club head no longer whisiles through
the air on Its carefree way, slashing
through the object. Before this one
was merely swinging a club In the
right and normal way. Now, with the
ball to be hit, he Is lunging with
body and arms. If you have the feel
ing that the club is to do more of
the work there is a great'r tendency
to swing back more evenly and not
slog out of place. It is, of course,
merely a figure of speech, a sugges
tion to help reduce the burden put
upon arms and wrists.
Take th" case of the putter, as a
simpler example. You rarely see a
consistently good putter grip tightly,
hurry the back swing and jab at the
ball. Among the, better putters you
see more of a stroking motion, with
a follow through, where the blade is
allowed lo go at least part of its
way. not stopped short. The natural
path of the putting blade Is on
through the ball, on past the spot
where the ball was hit. If the blade is
halted suddenly at this spot it is not
allowed to do Its share of the job.
This can be accomplished only by lack
of tenseness and by lighter gripping.
How often, when the hole was lost
beyond recall, have you stepped up in
careless fashion, possibly with one
hand, and holed the five or seven-foot
putt? Under such conditions putts
are rarely missed for the simple tea
son the hand starts blade on its way
and doesn't check it or other wise In
terfere. The putter in this case,
no longer controlled by a tight grip
and taut muscles, can do its share of
the job.
To let the club do more of the work,
as suggested, the wrists must he left
flexible—flexible but firm. This does
not mean they are to be limp and
wabbly. It means they are not to be
turned into cast iron or wood. 'When
the wrists are properly flexible the
club head, once started on the right1
path, will keep it. But the club rarely
figures at all when the golfer is try
ing to hit with his body and his shoul
ders and arms, without any thought of
the instruhaent or its elution to the
swing.

in Best Condition
So Declare* Leo Flynn When
Spokeu to by State
Commission.
I.-o p. Flynn, manager of Bill
Brennan, and director of the destinies
of the largest stable of boxers In
America, Is highly Incensed.
Flynn last week received a letter
from B xing Inspector William K.
Kavan of Omaha, informing the New
Yorker that if Brennan was not In
the nest of condition f"r his boot here
with Billy Miske. November 7. the
commission would withhold a permit.
"If Brennan does not put up a sat
isfactory fight against Miske you can
donate his entire purse to charity,”
wrote Flynn.
‘ Brennan has lost only one bout
in a year, that being his bout with
Firpo. He had Firpo beat all the
way until the Rlth round, when he
connected with tin same right-hand
wallop that floored Jack Dempsey.
• As far as Brennan's condition is
concerned, if he were not in condi
tion I would not allow him to take
part in ny boxing bout, particularly
with a hard nut like Miske. If at
any time any of my boxers fall to
give satisfaction I do not want a
cent of compensation for their serv
ices."
K ports that Miske was to box at
Winnipeg next week were denied yes
terday by Jack Reddy, the St. Paul
slugger's manager, in a telegram to
American Region officials, who are
in charge of the November 7 boxing
program. The Brennan bout will be
I he fiist of the fall season for Mlake.
Reddy said.
A block of |1 tickets for the Miske
brennan bout were placed on sale at
all ag-ncies Saturday, announced
Robert T. Burns, chairman of the
legion finance committee.
