Trinity braced. Her lighter line
repelled the Omaha drives credit
ably. During the second period
Trinity bit the line without success.
End runs, too, failed and Eddie
Hickey,, quarterback and captain,
began to open up with forward
passes. Hickey on the passing end
and Bride on the receiving end com

danger.'

By FRANCIS OUIMET.
There are probably a thousand
reasons why the game of golf has
but a small percentage of good
players. One generally advanced for
this is lack of form, cut X wonder
if form has as much to do with good
golf as is generally supposed? Isn't
the trouble a lack of confidence?
No gainsaying that a good golf
swing has one big advantage. It
certainly enables the player pos
sesring it to hit the ball with little
effort. And a few hours of practice
nov and then rapidly enable him to
improve. Bobby Jones is such a
player. He is the most graceful of
all American golfers and his perfect
form in swinging makes his game
most interesting-to behold.
On the other hand there is Ted"
Ray, of England huge, strong and
powerful. Ray is anything but
graceful.. However, there are few
golfers more consistent than this
big Briton. He is always knocking
at the door when not actually win
No if some ot us tried to swing
Iiki- Ray we would wind ud petition
ing the golf committee to widen our
local fairways at least twice their
present she. But Ted Ray is dif
ferent. Ray is confident that he is
going to hit the bail squarely every
time. Knowing this he can aoolvll
of his tremendous power and be
certain the ball will be somewhere
near a certain desired spot.
Ordinary Player Uncertain.
The ordinary plaver is. uncertain
of hitting the bail fair. Hetends to
look up or does any one of a dozen
other things and away goes the ball
into trouble. He simply lacks con
fidence. If all golfers felt as Ray
does, if they all had his confidence,
there would be thousands of players
of like ability.
Let me illustrate by a current ex
ample. Yesterday I played with a
man who carried four different
kinds of golf balls. Against the
wind he would use a small, heavy
one a splendid idea. On a hole
where the fairway was inclined to
be sdft he brought forth a large
ball. His idea was based on the
fact that it is easier to pick up a
large ball than a small one when the
litris heavy. His third ball was a
.
smau, light one to be used to get
greatest distance. I hat was all true
but. he failed to consider the fact
that the lighter ball acted different
ly on the greens.
To one who is used to a heavy
qau and who suddenly shifts to a
lighter one there isss one fine way of
describing what is likely Jo be the
result, ihe change' is apt to act
much as Walter Johnson would
pitch if he suddenly shifted frorrtJ
the official league ball to the junior
base ball for boys. Johnson con
trols the official ball almost fault
lessly, but the latter would gomost
anywnere.
In golf on the greens a heavy ball
is to be putted firmly, but if the
golfer treats the lighter ball the
same way he has at least another
putt. It musfbe tapped gently be
cause its lightness causes it to leave
the face of the club much more
quickly.
Forget Traps and Hazards.
For his fourth ball my companion
played a floater. A few pond holes
was the reason. Now here is the
story. Here was proof that he lack
ed confidence in driving over the
water. Hence he figured he would
at least save a ball. I teel certain
that player would have gladly lost
dozens of new balls if he could be
sure of playing over that water.
It is such uncertainties in one's
game Mat are the prime reasons
why th'e average golfer does not im
prove. - If he would only go at each
shot with mind closed as to traps
and'hazards his game would prove
much more satisfactory to him.
Sometimes I try to get into traps
on purpose simply because I am
more apt tc miss them then than
when I actually try to avoid them.
And I know of one plaver who con
sistently drives for a little trap on
his home course just to the left of
the fairway for the same reason.
Every time he tries to avoid it he
says he gets in. But when he plays
for it he always misses. Golf is in
deed a funny game, and I have
found that you seldom do just what
you want to do with the ball.

British Railroad
Strike Gave Motor
Truck Big Chance
London, Nov, 22. Motor trucks
for fast and heavy transpo is the
one big lesson British business men
have learned as the result of the na
tional railway strike. Distances be
tween large industrial areas in Eng
land are insignificant when com
pared to those in the United States.
The average lone journey is not
more than 200 miles. Roads are ex
cellent. The strike gave the motor truck
its chance. The only drawback was
that thef were too few such trucks.
The government, in order to help
feed London, had to get a rush ship
ment of trucks from its war stores
in France. ' '
Before Ihe strike motor trucks
were never used to get goods to
London from Birmingham, 113 miles
by rail. And that in the face of the
fact the usual freight transport time
was three weeks. Motor trucks
made deliveries in one day.
Now traffic experts are saying
that slow or congested railways will
be superceded by efficient mot,or
lorries, which in many cases have
proved to be even cheaper than rail
way transport, fiuring cartage at
either end.
The war has given England tens
of thousands of efficiently trained
motor truck drivers.

T. J. ,'Fitzmorris, Before
Teachers' Forum. Lauds
Growth of Savings and .
Loan Associations.
T. J. Fitzmorris, appearing before
the Omaha Teachers' forum in the
Chamber of .Commerce last week,
read the following interesting ac
count of the history and growth of
Savings and Loan associations, with
facts and figures pertaining to Ne
braska and Omaha:
"Savings and Loan associations
(originally christened 'building and
and loan association' though, strict
ly speaking, they do not build), got
their start in Philadelphia, in 1831.
Their purpose then as now was to
promote thrift among the member
ship and loan money saved to such
members as desired to become own
ers of homes. ,
"It was a movement of slow growth
outside of its birthplace. Nearly
half a century passed before cq-j
operation' in home-getting found
lodgement in Nebraska. In 1876 the
parent 'association in this state was
organized at North Platte, trans
planted there by near Philadelphians,
railroad men who had followed the
the march of empire along the
Overland route. The Second associ
ation- was organized at Grand Island
in I88U and the third in umaha in
1883. Measured by their years, Ne
braska associations are in the prime
of life, possessing the vigor of youth
. . i i t
ana ine wisaom oi experience.
An Idle Boast.
"Consider for a moment the mag
nitude of the movement here and in
the Country at large.' In round num
bers there are in the United States,
savings of ?2,000,0Uf'.Ut)U, represent-
nar the savings of 4,UUU,UUU members.
Of this number Nebraska has 74 as
sociations, 110,000 members and as
sets of $65,768,000 at the beginning
of the financial year last July. Dur
ing the lean fiscal year of 1917-18,
when war reached for every dollar
n 'sieht. Nebraska associations
financed 2,116 new buildings, mostly
homes, and assisted in the purchase
of 3,520 homes already built.
Eight associations in Greater
Omaha, on July 1, 1919, reported
assets totalinar $41,257,000, or 60 per
cent of the state's total. This rep
resents little more than 20 years
development and marks their high
standing among the city's upbuild
ing forces.
But the figures do not picture what
they have and are producing, nor

sound the joyful notes of home own-
ship bosomed there, as a matter
of-fact, they are the chief instru
ments in making Omaha a city of
home-owners. 'An idle boast,' some
say. Let us analize it.
Indisputable Records,
"Omaha's claim as a city of home
owners, rests on indisputable rec
ords. The federal census of 1900
showed that only 25.9 per cent of
me peopie oi mis city were nome
owners, in the succeeding iu years
the percentage ot home-owners rose
to 39.8 per cent.The census decade
now closing will, I confidently be
lieve, lift the percentage to 50 per
cent or better. x
"Available facts justify that be
lief. Four years ago the Omaha
Water company reported, as a result
of a check of its, books, that there
were 25,049 dwellings using .city
water. Of this number 56 per sent or
13,827 dwellings, were owned by the
occupants. The same authority
places . the present proportion of
home-owners at 60 per cent of the
estimated total of 32,000 dwellings.
"A considerable number of dwell
ings in the outlying sections of the
city, distant from water mains, are
not accounted for in the water
company's reckoning, and nearly all
are occupied bv owners. s
IJuttmg Wiese facts together, we
may safely claim that 20,000 of the
32,000 dwellings in the city are owned
by the occupants. Allowing five
persons to a family, we have a total
6f 100,000 people, substantially one
half the population, living in their
own homes, a higher percentage than
any city in this country has hereto
fore shown in census returns. .
vAnother Record Broken.
"We must wait at least two months
to accurately measure this year's
gain in home ownership. We already
know it will be a record-breaker.
Under existing conditions, owner
ship is the only 'assurance of occu
pancy. Hence a vast number of
dwellings have passed from tenancy
to ownership. It is possible to
gtimpse the magnitude of the change
by a few figures. During the past
tour months and the first M days
of November the water office is
sued 641 permits for water cdnnec
tions, with that number ot new
homes. "
Savings and loan associations
made loans On 504 new dwellings
in nine monhs past and for the pur
chase of 1,434 dwellings already
built. Other financial agenciea swell
the total of new homes and cash
purchasers of dwellings are not un
common. Making due allowance tor
changes from one owner to another
it is reasonably safe to say that the
year will add 2.500 actual home
owners to the. city's total.
Durme the oast ZO years, savings
and loan associations have been the
chief, almost the sole source of
financial helo in making Omaha dis
tmctlv a city of Homes, the panic
of 1893 and the stress of succeeding
years wiped out every savings bank
n the citv and leit tne new ciear
for co-operation to prove its worth.
That the associations., were equal
to their opportunities and met the
needs of the times the record dem
onstrates. . '
i
Rooted in Economy.
"And this great development is not
due wholly to the appeal of home
and saving. - It is also rooted in the
simplicity and economyof the busi
ness methods of associations.' They
are a working example of the prin
ciple of doing the greatest good
for the greatest number. Members
come and go at will, the going re
ceiving their principal and added
earnings, ranging from-5 to 6 per
cent. They covet no one's home
pledged for a loan and are lenient to
the limit whenever misfortune
comes. v. ' 1
"Economy is shown id operating
costs, less than 1 per cent of re
ceipts, the average for the whole
country being 8-l()ths of 1 per cent
Safety rests on the home, and the
home, as security needs no boasters.
It is instructive to note in this con
nection that out of a business of
$37,000,000 during he fiscal yearof
1917-18 all Nebraska associations
charged out of their reserve funds
for losses only $46,569, or about 6
per cent of the sums carried. to the
same funds in the same period.
"Thus the associations expound the
gospel of thrift and home getting.
Their progress in this city and state
is not equalled by any state or city
of the Mississippi or south of the
Ohio river. Having been associated
with their work and progress for 36
years- feel justified in saying that
the ystem of co-operation practiced
by our local associations maps for
the member ship a broad highway to
independence, stability, prosperity
and contentment."

Our Refinery Plants '
The initial capacity or our refinery will ho
8,000 barrels a day Its ultimate capacity will
. be 10,000 barrels, additional units being added
at small expense. "
This is a PRODUCING as well as a RE
FINING company and the combined business
of PROPUCING AND REFINING covers the
greatest possibility of very large profits to ho
found in the oil industry. With its own pro
duction, which the Texas Eagle Producing St
Refining Company will have in largo quan
tities, it not only is insured of crude oil, to
keep its refinery in operation, but addsv to tho
large refinery profits the income obtained
from production. We are in the position of a
farmer who raises his own wheat, mills it, in
his own flour mill and markets the finished
product, taking every profit. All our stock
holders will share in all these profits. But .
there is no known business that pays the im
mense profits a ef inery does or that ha the
amazing -present and future market that
await refined oil products, such as gasoline,
gerosene, distillate, gas and lubricating oils,,
. Wo could buy ample crude oil for our re
finery. Tho Texas fields' production is 100,
000 barrels in excess of the combined refinery
capacities of Texas and Oklahoma. Hundreds
of rich wells ia North . Texas are capped,
pinched down or rest on the sand, with many
thousand of barrel production held back for
want of refinery facilities. Owners of pro
ducing wells are daily pleading with us to buy
their production. We would, but we are sjre
of our own production and prefer ddubletrto
single profits. . - ,
