ami,ire the underlying ' Principles,
Given a ball, approximately nine in -
aims in diameter, resting ori ; the
ground within shooting distance of
goal. Suppose a kick to be applied
to it at a point one and a half inches
(perpendicular distance) from the
ground. The initial direction of the
ball will indicate a rise of two feet
in every yard of its course in the air.
If the kick be applied at a point three
inches from the ground the rise in-
dicated by the initial direction will
be only half as great, and if at a point
four and .one-half inches from the
ground, the ball will not rise at all
but will travel along the ground.'The
actual direction in the first two cas-
es, owing to the disturbing influence
of gravity, &c., will depend largely
on the force a.ppliki, but we may
safely conclude that the 'higher' up'
we kick the ball, talking care not to
kick higher than half -way up if we
want to avoid a mis-kink, the lower
it will keep after it leaves the toe.
So much for the' theory. Now for
the application. Throw well forward
the knee of the leg with which you
are going to kick; until it is almost
right over the bail; point the toe well
to the ground, and let drive with all
your might. You will, strike the ball
with the upper pat of the foot, the

tense in football are: 1st, Combina-
tion; and, combination; 3rd, combina-
tion. Usefulness among members of
a team is not the only essential to
success. There can be no combination
without unselfishness, but there -caa
(be unseWishness with little on . no
combination. This is often exempli-
fied in the play of a "representative"
team., when players have been select-
ed who have not the knack or ability
of readily adapting thems
lves to un-
fariliar conditions of play. It is no
uncolmmon thing in matches• of this
kind to see individuals getting rid of
the ball in the most unselfish manner
possible, though, from want of an
understanding with the other play-
ers, the • opportunities thus afforded
and of which a team in which real
combination exists would make good
use, are quite lost.
'Combination in the highest degree
among clubs is, after all, in a great
measure, a matter of good fortune,
arising, as it mainly does, from the
fact of a club being able to play
match after match with practically
an identical team, and the °:members
of the team thus getting thoroughly,
acquainted with the peculiarities of
the movements and "style of play of
each individual. How often has the
thorough co-operation of the various
member's of ateam, boasting of no
especial players of repute, overcome
the disorganized attacks of an en-
eni.y richer in individual skill?
As to individual play, what is chief-
ly required to make a man thorough-
ly efficient is'" that;' he should play
with his head; not physically (though
as this practice is now so prevalent,
some proficiency in this respect is
almost essential, if only in self-de-
fence), but that he should bring
what brain powers he is possessed of
into play. A good game closely
watched will reveal many apparently
simple, but very effective manoeuvres
which are the result of thought com-
bined with considerable practice.
Corner-Kicks.—In the case of a
corner -kick, the attacking forwards,
arranged in the form of a crescent,
t•shauld be well in on goal and should
be "closely supported by the 'half-
backs. The player taking the corner
'should avoid `skying' the .ball' ant
should at once return to his proper
position after making the kick. The
'best :corner is one that comes in
with speed and just high enough to
clear all heads until a point opposite
the goa'lnrouth, and two or three
Yards in front, is reached.
.The defending forWards should "not
crowd into goal to receive the corner.
The extrema . Iwingmen should'. keep
out well to the side so as to be in a
position to take advantage of a pass,
and the inside men and centre will do
well to keep an eye on the opposing
half -backs so as to ,prevent the re-
turn of the ball. The defence will
thus have but the five forward's to
cover, leaving thegoalkeeper free to
clear his Charge.
Heading will ibe found opportune—
especially on the part of the defence.
If the attacking Side can bring the
ball to the foot, the chance of scor-
ing will be increased.'
If the wind is troublesome the
kick may be taken by passing •the
ball back to the nearer half -back
who should be on. the look -out to
place the ball to the best advantage.

that is to say, both knees must be

It may 'be added that in shooting
from a pass of any' sort the shot, if
by the centre, should always be.made
with the foot farther from the nian
who is giving the pass; if by a wing
man, in his proper 'position, with 'the
foot farther from the centre. Many
easy :goals are lost by the violation
of this golden' rule, to which there
are only • two exceptions." One is,
when the shooter is so near the goal,

In November last I installed in my office a "t lbrpi Magnowave" instrument for
diagnosing and treating my patients, and have been \delighted with the results obtained.
You can ,get relief from your sufferings with Calbro Magnowave Radionic
treatment whicwill definitely locate any diseased- condition or seat of, infection in
the body. it is not only a scientific method of diagnosis but an instrument of proven
merit in combating diseased conditions in the body. There is no unpleasant sensation
or feel of electric current at any time during examination or treatment periods. While
electricity is used to produce.the Magnowave, the wave itself is not electrical but tends
to promote within the tissue cells the proper magneto - strictive properties and by so
doing brings the cells hack to normal function, which will result in the effective organ
being able to rid itself of accumulation of waste matter and function as they should.

Late Frances Nelson
- Famed Sports Writer
Francis Nelson's death must snap
the link of a thousand friendships
for surely there was nobody who
knew him who was not his friend or
wanted to be. -Our first contact with
him 'came a good many years ago
when we were interested in the pedi-
grees of horses, upon Which he was
an outstanding authority and the last
time we saw him was to intercede.
for -some jockey whom he had ruled
off. In the end he promised that he
would put no stone' in the boy's way
if the C.P.A. directors wished to re-
instate him, but he admitted that he
was skeptical about men who break,
the laws of the turf. To (Mr. Nelson
the laws of the land were not'•niiore
worthy of respect, and we remember
a little :story he told. A burglar,
having served his sentence, was call-
ed . into , the warden's office and the
warden talked to him briefy and
kindly about the new life that lay
before him. The crime had been ex-
piated and there was no reason why
the rnan should not hold his head up
and gradually establish +hifrnself in'
the comhmunity as a userful citizen.
The man agreed restpectfully and the
warden shook 'hands with him and
bade him,' God ;speed.' But the
burglar, stili lingered: "Well," said,
the warden, "what are you waiting
furl'''' "Me tools, sir," said the burg-
lar.
'We d not hold up the late Mr.
Nelson as a. raconteur for that is
one of the most loathy appellations,
in our opinion, that can be tacked to
-
a :man, but he had a sense of humor
and a fund of anecdote garnered from
his wide experience that made him
a charming companion and the cer •
train ,centre of any company in which
he :happened to be. How. 'much -he
was .esteemed as a companion may
be gathered from the fact that the
old lacrosse cluib with which he was
connected 50 years ago used to time

would fall at the time when he was
in Toronto for the Woodbine ;meet.

Writes About the War
For some years after officialdom
was convened in Versailles, France,
and the Great War declared off, ant
after Canadian soldiers by the tens`
of thousands were poured back into,
the ranks of stay-at-homes, it was
noticeable that returned men were'
relutetent to . talk about experience
overseas. For a time, budding auth-
ors who wished to 'capitalize on their
"sojourn in the war zone, and the
vain 'to 'be found in quantities in arty
cross section of ,the human race, did
tnlost of the talking. Here and there
veterans who could not shake off hor-
rible nvmrioriets of mental anal physi-
cal suffering, sought to setnitown ac-
counts aceentua:ting the' vile ar'bar-
ism, the abject misery of the four
long years, in the. -hope of shocking
the general public into an active caan-
lraign for disaaimlairnent and peace. '
So it was that millions of non-
participating 'C'anadian citizens foam-

Tribute to the book comes from the
pen of the padre of the battalions
Major G. G. D. Kilpatrick; reproduc-
ed here in part:
"Here is' no insipid chatter •••
Of love's alloying sweetness
Spiced :with malice,
Sauced with false cleverness
And garnished' with suggestion,
Served hot with passion
And thrust in the world's maw
By clever publicists
Who call it realu'sits
(Which is Euphemism for mud).

Here is their courage told;
The splendor of their deeds nriade
known
and leaves us silent
In �saluftation of a manhood
Which, from the furnace and the'
flame
Of was, 'comes forth , p' gold.
Wherefore we caansel--,Read thefbook
And when you're done—Thank Goa
for Men."
