SPEAKING OF SP®RT BY FRANK GETTY

The Harmsworth Trophy When Lord Northcliffe, the famous British newspaper owner, was alive and known only as plain Sir Alfred Harmsworth, way back in 1903, he offered a cup for power-boat racing known as the Harmsworth Trophy. Today, out in Detroit, or nearby, they are racing still for that same trophy. A young English woman, Miss Marian Barbara Carstairs, of whom Lord Northcliffe' would have been particularly proud, is hopeful of taking the cup back home with her. The history of the .Harmsworth trophy is a long and (to motor boat fans) interesting one. The first race was held in 1903 at Queenstown It was won by Napiet at an average of 18. knots. The second was held at Cowes and Trefle Quatre the French competitor, thougi badly beaten, entered a protest ant was awarded the cup. In the tilirc contest. Napier 11, the British challenger, proved superior to her French rival and the trophy returned to Eng land. In 1906 the United States filed t challenge. W. Gould Brokaw wen* abroad with the Challenged to try conclusions with the British. She raced with her engine uncovered her protecting hood having been lost overboard as she was leaving this country, in addition, only three of her six cylinders were working at the finish of the race. Yarrow Uapier, the defender, beat her by 2 minutes and 16 seconds over a course of 7.7 nautical miles. Undeterred by Challenger’s defeat, the following year E. J. Schroeder

which would force the champion into a return match for the crown. Sammy has a large evening before him. The Chilean really can fight, and he carries a hefty punch tn either hand. So well luuv Vtncentini shown here that there are many confident he will force Mandell to the limit. STANDINGS central league W. L. Pct.

challenged with the original Dixie. She was built especially for this contest and launched only a week before the race. The course was 35 miles in length and Dixie covered it at an average speed of 27.6 knots (31.8 statute miles) beating by a good margin the two British defenders, Daimler I and Daimler 11. In 1908 the course measured 30 nautical miles. Dixie II and Wolse-ley-Slddeley were close together throughout the race. Dixie finally got. a commanding lead near the finish, but came down the home stretch sheering from side to side. Something was evidently wrong and after she crossed the line and stopped, the engineer was found unconscious and the pilot delirious. The heat and exhaust gas from the motor had overcome the engineer and for three miles the pilot had supported him with one hand while he steered the boat with the other. Daimler II broke a connecting rod and withdrew, while Den and U.S.A, were completely outclassed. In 1909 a challenge was received but was later withdrawn as it was found impossible for the British entry to be got ready and tuned up in time. So it went on from year to year, now Britain winning, now the United States, with dramatic interludes. Last year. Miss Carstairs tried for the trophy, but her boat over turned and sank. Gar Wood, a great sportsman, won. He will try to defend the cup today against this same young English woman.

CHINESE MEET SOVIET DEMAND Will Return Railroad to Status of Quo Ante to Begin Settlement Moscow. Aug. 31.—(U.R)—China has met the demand of the Soviet union for an immediate restoration of the Chinese Eastern railway to a status quo ante as a preliminary condition for a conference for a peaceful settlement of the Manchurian dispute, it was announced here today. In keeping e with China's conciliatory move the Soviet government will reappoint a Russian manager for the disputed road and instruct ail Soviet employes who have ceased work on the Chinese Eastern to return their posts. Thus an amicable settlement of tile dispute which for a time threatened to inflame the Far East seemed assured. The negotiations probably will begin at an early date. The new development was brought about through an exchange of views through the German government, which has been acting as agent for both China and Russia since they broke off diplomatic relationships. Nanking, after weeks of private negotiations, finally has agreed to the Russian demand that tlie railroad be restored to its status prior to its seizure by the Chinese government, before the Soviets would be willing to settle the dispute by conference. Significantly. China has agreed to a conference with an eye to the provision in the 1924 Mukden agreement enabling China £o purchase the road at a future date. On August 27, it was announced, tlie Chinese mission at Berlin transmitted the text of the proposed joint declaration that both China and Russia had agreed to a conference, that both sides will free all persons arrested in connection witli the current dispute and that Moscow will agreeto instruct all Soviet; railway} employes in Manchuria not to engage in communist propaganda. The following day the Soviet representatives told the German negotiators that the document was acceptable, with the following changes. 1 — The Soviets instead of appointing new managers and assistants will reappoint the old ones, unless Chinn removes the Chinese director who started the trouble: 2— China must instruct all authorities to obey the terms of the treaty. o- —- Football Team Starts Practice for Season New York, Aug. 31. — (U.R) - First signs of the impending football season were noted here today when Coach Chick Meehan and his squad of New York university gridiron candidates entrained for farmingdale, Long Island. The Violets will remain at Farmingdale for three weeks, returning to New York on September 23 for another week of work before the first game with Vermont, September 28. o

That Game, Football No sport in America has enjoyed the great rise In popularity experienced Ivy football during the past decade. Thia tail amazing millions will pack our stadiums from coast to coast to witness the thrilling spectacle of the gridiron game. Ami yet out of these millions, surprisingly few will understand all that takes place from the starting^whistle until the final gun. In these twenty short articles, I hope to explain the working of a football team and Um* game of football in such a manner as to aid in a better understanding of the game. Football Is a great game, and few fully appreciate all that it has to offer. My boy. play football! When the autumn season is at hand with Its invigorating frosty air, every red-blood-ed youngster seeks the out of doors. Football is an Ideal game for the fail It serves as an outlet for every bit of “pep” that a man or boy has. Knowing the game of football is not bard. Learning the rules and studying every angle of play brings about mfental alertness that prepares the player for the game. But greatest of all preparation for the grid game is to be physical fit. Success comes only to the team that observes the simple training rules of proper living, eating, sleeping and hardening up. A player may know all tlie tricks of the game, but he must be physically fit before lie can execute them and reap the reward of victory. Players as well as spectators must catch the spirit of the game. Success comes to the team which tackles its opponents with whole hearted ambition to win. backed by an undaunted spirit of "never quit.” The greatest lesson that fool ball teaches a player is “never quit". When there is one yard to go on the fourth down it is the spirit of the game that makes that last yard. 1 Equipment and Training Rules Be ready tor the trial! Victory belongs tp the team that is prepared for its battles on the gridiron. Today thousands of youths all over the country are getting ready for -the season. Many teams are made or broken/ by their manner of early training. Training should start when scho 1 is out in the spring. After six months of laxity following the football season, tlie player for next season should start hardening his muscles as soon as vacation time begins. All college coaches advise their players to indulge in hard physical labor during the summer months. Thus, when the season’ opens, they are ready for the hard knocks of practice and preparation. Red Grange trained during the summer by carrying ice. Players for Indiana’s 1929 team spent this summer in many occupations varying from lumber jacks to hod carriers. Many i worked in the steel mills, and some worked on construction gangs. H is this type of labor that builds up re-1 serve power in the man. Football is the survival of the fittest. The team that wins is the team] that has trained the best and is physL' cally tit to execute its plays in the proper manner. Common sense training rules build up physical fitness. Anyone can make the grade with proper living. Cut out the use of tobacco and other stimulants. Eat plain ’food at meal times. Be regular in your habits, as it takes a steady set of i nerves in tlie daily grind of practicej for each encounter. 1 prescribe at least nine hours sleep sot the player. During the season,! sleeping hours from nine P. M. to seven A. M. are best. Sleep is a great body builder. During the first month of the season | the player should take off all extra, weight. When he has attained the I proper playing weight, he should keep [ at that figure by proper training. Start i storing up energy the day before the game. Light eating proceding a game makes tile player more alert. Brains

are as essential In a game as muscle. Since the game calls for contact with body and turf proper equipment Is necessary. Pants with a hard kiA’e cap, thigh boards, hip and kidney protectors are required in blocking and fulling. A playing jersey with elbow pads and shoulder harness will add to the protection when tackling. Head gear should be used at alt limos for safety. Shoes are important. They should have cleats .to insure good footing Clean, sanitary stockings will prevent infections. The care of blistered feet is very important. The coach should make it a point to watch all players’ equipment if he intends to have a winning team.
