DANVILLE Ity Ant. S-With
tha July page torn from the calendar
banville football fun have begun
counting b days until tho time when
Captain Herb Covington lead the
" Centre Celonela into the ataemm lor
their Initial workout. While checking
off the days the fane are weighing a
' lot of gridiron facts both in their minds
-aod in general conversation.
Their cniet attentions are aireciu
to the coaching eteff and the number
of old men who will return; their con-
aiderationa have left them in a happy
frame of mind. With -Chief' Bob
Myers as head coach and Hod Ofstie
aa his first assistant the tutoring end
of the game will be satisfactorily cared
for. Another fact that boosts their
State championship stock at Jhii tage

men and a doien or more members of
liist year's freshman squad State
yearling champions will call for eauip-
ment early in September.
Any auggestions that the Colonels
re on the downhill 'track carry less
weight than Carpentier's claims of
fouls In his fights in this country. An
attractive schedule has been arranged
a program that holds great possi-
bilities. If the Colonels were figured
to be snv weaker this year their
schedule certainly does not bear out
nnv such apprehension. Another re-
deeming feature this year is that first
year nien will be eligible to play in a
number of games.
Five State university teams. Ken-
tucky West Virginia Georgia. Ala-
bama and Tennessee will be met by
the Colonels.
Kaeh of these elevens can give most
any old team in the coiintry a highly
interesting and decidedly bruising af-
ternoon's entertainment. '
For the past four aeasons the Colo-
nels have mnde an annual pilgrimage
East and this year the major game
the schedule will be played with
West Virginia at the Polo 0 rounds
in New York c!ty. October 25. This
will rtiark the first appearance of e
rntre football eleven in Manhattan.

memorable eame that started Centre
oi her climb to national1 recognition.
Members of the Centre team are as
determined to turn the trick again this
fall as was that sturdy band of Colo-
nels five years ago.
Another game of major importance
to fans throughout Kentucky wUl be
the annual Centre-Vniversiv of Ken-
tuckv clash for State titular honors.
which will be planed in the new sta
dium at LevingtonTne
week following
the West Virnia tilt. Centre wrested
the State chsmnionshin from the
Wildcat in 1017 and has been suc-
cessful in defending the honors since
that time. Last year over a rnln
soaked field they" splashed through
to a 10 to 0 victory over the time
honored rivals.

The question has often been raised
:s to who discovered Bo McJfillin
who teught him the fundamentals of
football? Chi(f Myers is the respon
sible party. Some time after his
graduation from Centre in '07 Mvers
went to Fort Worth. Texas where
he engaged 111 business. As a meani
of rerj-entioii he took up coaching the
Fort Worth High school team. In
the three years he drilled the scho-
lastic eleven he won two State chant-
pio"sbins. Ilesids McMillin he devel-
oned Hill James Red Weaver Mntty
Pell Sully Montgomery and others
who have been importnnt cogs in the
i.emre mariunes or recent years.
The system that was inaugurated
by Mvers. and which was continued
by Charlie Moran. will be followed
again this year with but few alter-
ations. During the entire time that
Jflornn was coach here Chief Myers
Was bis constant associate. He could
have commanded a high salary with
other colleges as head coach but hia
' deration to his alma mater and his
resoect for Moran kept him here.
There are few coaches in the game
that have a better understanding of
the fundamentals or the ability to
. teach the game than Myera. He is
Hiick to siae up a man has a great
amount of patience and a manner
about him that fires the player to
give bis beet at all times. Hia grid
pupils look upon him as a big brother
and will fight to the last ditch for
him.
Aa in former years the talk of gef--ting
the ..men ready for their engage-
ment will pot be dependent upon any
one man. One of the greatest ends
..thnt ever came out of the West and
one of the smartest coaches in the
country today. . Harold 8. Ofstie of
California will be Myera' chief as-
sistant. ' Ofstie played on the University of
Wisconsin team in 10U 1012 and
; 1013. and during that time was the
unanimous all-conference and all-
Western choice for an end. In '12
Wisconsin won the Big Tea and West-
ern championship. He ooaehed-tbe
: Wisconsin freshmen in '14. The fol-
lowing two years he coached Ripon
college and won the Wisconsin State
championship both Masons. In the
two year Ripon scored 4i50 points to
their opponents' 25. He was in the
army for three years and did not-i
coach gain until 11)21 wDea he had
ehm f the University of Soutnero
California- freshmen winning the
freahman championship of the Pacific
coaat. I
That year hi coached Washington
and Jefferson for two weeka prior
to its big. game with California. The
President played California to a
atanditlll and "Greasy" Neale W.
and J. Coach publicly gave the credit
to Ofstie. In 1022 be was offered
the position of head coach of Missis-
sippi A. and M. college in the middle
of the season but declined. Last year
Ofstie coached the Great Lakes naval
training atation team to a national
championship. A year ago Wisconsin
was looking for a new head coach and
in a State-wide voting contest for the
position Ofstie was the popular choice
and barely missed being chosen for
the jjob. From all reports he will fit
in nicely with the Centre system. He
is now attending Knute Kockne's
coaching school at Notre Dame uni-
versity.' Among the old men who will be
back are Covington quarterbark ;
Lemon end; vKubale center; Skid-
more and Lynch tackles; Uordy full-
back; ThomasRon end or halfback;
Hubarth and Hilker guards; Kaben-
stein Wallace Pace find Bond half-
backa; Gleim tackle; Snowday end.
Last season's line is intact with the
exception of George Chinn who
dropped out of college in February.
"Battling" Kubale center was cap-
tain of last year's team and was all-
Southern choice for the pivot post.
From the freshman team of laaf
year will coaie the following mn:
Bush McClure. "Wilson Hieatt
Browder Morrow Graham Kagin
Hirklin. Goben Hedges Dennis Mc-
Neil Krebs Judy T. R. Johnson
Poteet; Durham Priest Boswell and
Klrod. There is some excellent var-
sity material in this lot and tHe pros-
pects for a winning combination at
Centre this fall are anything but-dim.
A special schedule is being arranged
for the freshmen and the same inter-
est will be taken in the youngsters
as in the varsity squad.

Stanley Ketchel lamented middle-
weight champion of the world killed
by a rifle shot in the hands of Wal-
ter Dipley at Conway" Mo. October
15 1010 was regarded as the great-
est middleweight boxing baa ever
known.
Since Ketchel's death the boxers
who have masqueraded as his succea-
nor in the lHO-pound class have been
a disgrace to Ike name of Ketchel.
In the 14 years that have passed
since the rifle shot closed the career
of the greatest middleweight knuckle
wbirler tne e.evinson game lias known
the closest approach to Ketchel's abil-
ity is the latest star from Kansas.
Billy Britton Kansas cyclone has
come out of the small town of Colum-
bus Kan. to raise the middleweight
division back upon the pedestal it oc-
cupied when Ketchel was the man-
mauler of the 158 pounders.
Britton usee the Ketchel shift;
Billy has the Ketchel personality.
The assassin attack that Ketchel
mowed down even light heavyweights
with is one of the many characteris-
tics of this 21-year-old Kansas leather
pusher.
A two-fisted walloper like Stanley.
A legitimate middleweight with the
ferocious instinct that causes game
men to shudder at the mere mention
of Stanley Ketchel's name are some
of the attributes that have brought
Lgniy Britton from an unknown lad
in a wesrern mining camp to inter-
national fame in the middleweight
ranks in three months.
Middleweights like Jeff Smith and
Tiger Flowers haTe been extended to
earn a draw with Billy. He has
stopped the tough Andy Kid Palmer In
one round. Charles Nnshert. Harry
Fay and Billy Conley have lost de-
cisioiiB to the 1UZ4 sensation.
Monday night at Columbus O..
Britton achieved International fame
by holding the European middleweight
champion. Ted Moore to a 12-round
referee's draw decision.
Incidentally it must be mentioned
that no one outside of Harry Greb
has been able to hold Moore even.
Moore won referee decisions over
Panama Joe Cans. Larry Estridge.
Frank Moody. Jock Melons and he
annihilated Morris Sehlnlfer Omaha's
murdering Jew.
Below are excespts from the Co-
lumbus scribes:
"Records of really great fights
that have been held in Columbus w'ere
sadly cheapened. When the Hills
Britton-Ted Movire draw bout ataged
in the. Fairmount arena last nigbt
passed into ring history at the con-
clusion of 12 rounds of the fiercest
kind of glove warfare.
"Harry Sully's piece of matchmak-
ing resulted in a match that would do
well as a Tex Kickard $20 a Seat
bout. Two evenly matched boys of
championship material had the crowd
boisterously lending It approval at
the end of each round. Cheering for
this favorite or that the old-time fan
enthusiasm returned for at least one
evening.
"The Knglishman'a share of points
were garnered through his superior
bility on the close range battling."
Britton appeared to have an edge.
Sport Editorial Columbus Dispatch:
"Britton showed t'olumbus fans
Monday night why he is regarded as a
real comer in the middleweight ranks.
Breeaing in from the West practically
nnkeralded. he made an instantaneous
hit with the elite East and then pro-
ceeded to show his wares in the Mid-
dle West.
"Fans usually dubious about the
ability of a newcomer will have to
change their opinions as rerarns Brit-
ton at least. A hard hitting fiahter
and a fierce aggressive mixer. Brit-
ton. with only 21 veara behind him.
looks like a real find."

is associated with Johnnv Cox. de-
clares that Britton I the lone man to
halt the Windmill's reign as middle-
weight champion. Pittsburg Orel) has

Tan veteran golfer have been
named to represent the United
States in the Walkar cap mated
with Englaad September 12 an
13. Thl year's International ama-
teur golf classlo will ba staged at
Garden City L. I. with tha Amer.
leans battling to ratal tho trophy.
Tha battle for tha famout cup
will bring together with only one
or two axoeptloaa thl beat ama-
teur golfers tha two leasing golf
countries of tho world oaa rnuator.
Tha dda which will turn oat at
Gardea City to do battle under tho
Stars and Stripe will bt aa fol-
lows: Max Marston Philadelphia;
Charles Evaat Jr Chicago; Wil-
liam C. Fowna Jr. Plttaanrj;
Robert A. Gardaer Chicago; Joase
Guilford Boston; Francis Oultaet
Boston; Harrison Johnston St.
Paul; Jess W. SweetseF Nbw
York; Dr. 0. P. Willing Portland;
Bobby Jones Atlanta.
With such an array It would bo
unwise to find fault. About tho
worst that can ba said Indeed Is
that tha place given to Fowaos
the veteran might without hurting
tho team ba presented to a Baa
Stain a Jimmy Manlon a Jack
Wanzler or some other hard-fighting
member of tho younger troupe.
But then golf matches ar aot won
with clubs alon. Shock troopa may
be all very well dnder certain con-
ditions but generalship wins many
a battle. Fownas If ho ware a loss
aooompMshed llnksman would atlll
ba a valuable asset for tha exptrl-
enoe gained In his long ysars of
campaigning.
Fownas was the captain of tho
first American Walkar cup team.
Like Gardner he is now vloo presi-
dent of the United States Golf as-
sociation. It Is thought that Gard-
ner because of a recant operation
will take no very active part In tha
matches this year save in his ca-
pacity of captain. So far aa known
no alternate has been named to aot
in case of the Incapacity of tho
leader but should aaythlng occur toK
firevent Gardaer from toeing tno
Ine at Garden City It is a safe bet
that Fownes would ba tho man to
step Into the breach. As to tho
aotual matter of partloipatlea It
seems at this distanoe also a fair
guess that Fowaes will play In oaly
one round and that possibly tha
foursoroas where his generalship
aad experience would find their
greatest scope.
Marston Evans Guilford Oul-
met Sweetser and Jones will re-
main as before tho backbone of tho
team. These six will play la both
singles aad foursomes. Willing for
his fine play abroad last year should
also go through. As the team con-
stats of only eight players thl
leave Gardner Fowaes and John-
ston to bo aocounted for. Gardner
as wo have seen Is more than like-
ly to act as field marshal only
which again reduces the pleoos fa
this game to two Fownes and
Johnston. One guess Is as good aa
another but that fight of the St.
Paul man in tha Western Is not
likely to ba lost on tho American
captala. "Jimmy" according to thla
should play In tha singlss if ha la
to play at all.
With this crew of club wlelders
ready to take the field the Invadsrs
do aot stand much show of return-
ing to England carrying with them
the cup old John Bull has been
rilanolng at with longing eyes. Golf
s a Beer game and aaythlng oaa
happen but when this team gets
beat then England will rnla su-
preme for this l probably one of
the strongest teams the United
States has aver put In tha field.

a victory each. The score Wednes

was 7 to 8. Matteck pitched for the
Catholics and Boh Speegle did tbe
burling for the Railroaders. There
was not much bitting on either aide
and errors were responsible for the
greater part of the scores. Melesr

The outstanding difference between
the championship coursea of Great
Britain and thoae of this country lies
in the wind. I have seen it blow so
hard on the seashore of the grand lit-
tle island where all the championship
courses are located (none of them be-
ing inland) that it was very difficult
even to stand up.

this particular day it was very windy.
I seemed to be able to iudge the ball

nothing else to Hilton I learned from
him that day that; the way to play iu

Therefore I ahould think anyone
would enjoy figuring out how to play
In winds especially cross winds.
The matter of spin on the ball baa
much to do witi tbe success of these
shots. I don't think there la anv-
thlag prettier than playing a ball out
into the wind and have your Judgment

ball come true. I vary my stroke a
vary" little bit in order to play shots
in the wind. I alwaya try to keep the
ball ai low aa possible when going
into a wind. Good advice when ap-
proaching a green Is to use. a el ill)
which ia one loft longer than the one
you first guessed to use. I get a low
ball by bitting down on the shot more.
I mean by that to catch it en tht
down stroke. I don't change th po-
sition of the ball. If I want to get a
longer ball with the wind I hit it up
into the air more. This requires verv
little change of stance grip or posi-
tion of ball. In fact it is just I
change of the arcs your clubhend and
hands swinging. Cros winds are
treacheroua things. Sometimes it is

S. M. U. ELEVEN WILL
BATTLE NINE TEAMS
DALLAS. Texas Aug. 8. Meet-
ing six members of the Southwestern
conference and three of the leading
teams of the T. I. A. A. teams the
Mustangs of Southern Methodist uni-
versity Southwestern conference foot-
ball champions of ID'J.'i have the hard-
est schedule for the 11124 season of
any school In the State.
No effort wuk made to meet any of
the notuble teams from other sections
of the country but special attention
waa given to the meeting as mnny as
possible of the conference teams and
K. M. C will meet all of theut with
tbe exception of the Rice Owls.
Nine guinea have been arranged for
the Mustangs beginning September
27. just two weeka after the opening
of the training season. The first
three games have been scheduled with
the North Texna State Teachers coV
lege Trinity university and Austin
college.
In five weeks after the opening of
the conference season the Mustangs
begin their conference schedule start-
ing with the I'niversity of Texas at
the State fair October 18. The Texas
Aggies will follow the Iingborns and
face the Mustnngs October 25. put-
ting two of the hardest games of the
season upon the Mnstnngs in eight
days. Texas Christian university the
I'niversity of Arkansas Baylor and
Oklahoma A. and M. complete the con-
ference run for the 1!I24 season.
Seven of the nine gnmes scheduled
for the 1024 fight will be played in
Dallas giving Ike Muatnnga a greater
percentage of home games than any
other team. The two out-of-town
games are with the Horned Frogs at
best to slice or hook
those cross winds bu
into or with
it is rather
dangeroua practice.
I am a firm believer in the straight
ball at all times. Instead of making
the imaginary direction line run to
the hole make it run to a point to
the left or right .i the hole whe-e
Sou think the velocity Of the wind will
bring it back to the bole. Then aim
right at it and play a straight ball.
This akill can only be acquired by
practice in winds. There are many
things to avoid. The chief thing in
playing in wind test is to try not to
hit too hard for then yon will lose
your rhythm. I like a little wider
stance in the wind so that I am not
blown over. The wind gave me a
great thrill once not so long ago. I
had to get a pair of fours to qualify
in the notions! open at Inwood. The
seventeenth green was entirely sur-
rounded by fierce traps and It was
very very windy. It waa Indeed a
delicate thing. I played a strong shot
and after it had ceased pouring Into
the wind it sort of hung over one of
these terrific trapa for an instant.
Then the wind blew it actually back-
ward towards the hole for a beautifi.l
three.
