Nothing is left for me to do but to
"show” them on the day that Santa
Claus brings good cheer to all.
To go into the matter o/ "forecast
ing” a race allow me to say that
there are numerous ways of going
at the winning of an event. First, is
to try winning the race by speed—
that is, to start at the crack of the
pistol to “beat” it, and to hold a high
rate of speed for as long a time as
possible. The second way is to fol
low pace; that is. to get in behind one
of those "speed bugs” and try to
stay with him. But the best way.
to my mind, is to drive conservatively
and "heady.”
We are going to win this race, be
cause we have the speed due to over
head valves, and the power due to
overhead valves. And we are going
to be able U> get all the power and
engine speed we want out of this
motor, due to the fact that we are
going to use special oil.
And we have a motorcycle that is
going to stay "put with the motor."
We are going to use automobile tires
of such a proportion as to practically
eliminate tire trouble.
We have enough fuel capacity so as
not to detain us more than once dur
ing the race. and the design of our
tanks is such thaf'we will not waste
any time in refilling same. While
we do not anticipate using any enor-
mous\ burst of speed to win this
event, at the same time what it takes
to go we’ve«got. ,
It is my idea that the average
speed of this race will be in the
neighborhood of 58 miles an hour,
including stops. My line of argument
for this is as follows: At the Elgin
road race an average speed of only
54 miles an hour was attained. Owing
to the better condition of the track
at Savannah I give them the benefit
of the extra few miles. I wish to call
attention to the fact, however, that
this race will be about 50-odd miles
longer than the Elgin race, which
will naturally cut down the average
time.
The question has probably arisen
in the minds of a number of people:
"What is a Orane-Atlanta Motorcy
cle?” In answer to same will say
that it is a twin-cylinder motor with
overhead valves. A motor with less
than 61 cubic inches of piston dis
placement. This is the first one that
has been built, and all I have to say
in regard to building No. 2 is that
this question will not be answered
until December 26.

country.” continued Mrs. King "And
it seems to me that women must
simply not understand the conditions
the game is played under or they
would be taking it up in thousands
Just as the. men have already done,
f am making it my huaineas In every
city where Mr. King and myself stop
to try to ^et all the women I me?t
interested in the best of indoor
games.
Would Teach Atlanta Women.
"I would be glad to meet any of
the women in Atlanta who would like
lo learn the game and give them a
few lessons. I am positive they would
quickly see the great benefit the game
is to ones health, and it would not
take long before some of them would
be challenging me for the title I now-
hold."
When asked if if he could give any
reason why more women do not play
billiards, she explained that she
thought it wan due to the old-time
prejudice that women have always
had against poolrooms, looking at
them as loafing places for men.
’ You see,” she went on, "at one
time that was correct. The women
who happened to be wealthy enough
to have tables at home possibly played
a little, but other women simply
wouldn’t step inside a poolroom and
one could hardly blame them. Now,
however, conditions are changing
rapidly, and women are gradually
beginning to realize that the billiard
rooms are run on a much higher plane
than ever before, and women can go
into many of them without showing
any lack of modesty.
Women Can Learn Game Quickly.
"Women can learn to play just as
easily as men. It Is not a game that
requires any special musclar strength.
It is not a gift that women can not
enjoy. It is a science and a study.
And while the studying is going on
there is unconsciously being carried
on a wonderful strengthening of the
eyes.
"In the few years I have been play
ing I had my glasses changed twice
to lenses of lesser power, and I hon
estly believe that many women who
possibly have slight trouble with their
eyes might be cured altogether if they
would take up the cue game. That
sounds like a patent medicine testi
monial, doesn’t it? But I really do
believe It.
Game Cood for Eyes.
"Let me tell you a secret, but this
is not for publication, you understand.
Although I am not a living example
of it, many of the women could gain
the slim figures they all desire if they
would take to the billiard game. It
is honestly a flesh reducer, and I
would give anything If I could spend
more of my time taking women under
my personal instruction. It does not
take one long to learn the game, and
it is very fascinating."
Mrs. King says that when she aril
her husband pass the age limit for the
15-ball game they hope to settle down
In a little home in Southern Califor
nia, where they can raise bulldogs
and violets.
But- Mrs. King does not think
that time is near yet. She plans to
tour the South with her husband, and
then go baek to their home in New
York. Mr. and Mrs. King have been
booked to play at the Atlanta Ath-
Jetie Club Thurday night, and have
several other matches pending. If
possible, a match will he arranged
with some woman player.

Wolverines Not to

A REGULAR $25 AND $30
Tailored to Your Measure
and an Extra $7.00
ANN ARBOR. MICH.. Dec. 13—To
quiet disconcerting rumors afloat to the
effect that Fielding IF Yost was not to
coach at Michigan next year, an official
statement has been received from Ath
letic Director H&rtelme and also from
Y'ost to the effect that the Wolverine
football mentor will be on band next
full. The fact that Yost’s actual con
tract with the athletic authorities at
Michigan ran out a year ago has caused
a popular rumor that he would not take
charge of the squad next year. Di
rector Bartelme states, however, that,
according to a written agreement with
Poach Yost, either party must give no
tice to the other 30 days before the close
of the football season if a change is de
sired the following season.
Yost coached the Wolverines this
year under this agreement, and as no
notice has l*een tiled bv either party
during the season just played, it is a
logical supposition, substantiated by
both Yost and Director Bartelme, that
Yost will be on hand next fall.
