Football players who have not been seen in action this season owing to their preference for other sports have been approached and all have ex- pressed their willingness to make some sacrifice by giving up their spare time to training and to play if required. N. Beltrao, C. Marques and R. Marquee are among these, and they will start training shortly in order that Portugal will field "worthwhile team.

A. M. Omar, Craigengower cricketer, made a welcome appearance for Interna- tional on Saturday last in the forward line and showed he is badly in need of practice.

The Portuguese team will have the following players from whom to select Souza, C. F. Remedios, C. Marques, N. their teamQuinn, R. Marques, L. F. Beitrao,

J. Pereira, T. Castilho, B. Gosano, A. V. Gosano, J. Gomes T. Alves, A. Alves and Campos.

Jones is totally blind.

But he plays a better-than-average game of golf. In fact, he consistently breaks 100. The indomitable veteran was injured while in service aboard an American destroyer during the World War. Six years ago his sight failed completely. Up to that time he had played perhaps a dozen rounds of golf just in the «course of things.

He hadn't as yet been bitten by the real golf bug-the bug that causes par-seekers to brave most any kind of weather, or even their wives, for the chance to stroke a little ball around the fairways.

The match was an inspiration. Last spring Jones started out on his own after some preliminary practice on a driving range. He has achieved remarkable success.

To date his best score is 92 for 18 holes, and once he posted a 41 for 9 holes. "Just as well as I ever did when I could see," he chaffs good-naturedly.

BY BEST BALL The average golfer would be surprised at the pains the expert golfers go to to develop strong hands and fingers. Not strength alone, to the exclusion of other qualities such as pliability and sensitivity, but a mobile grip that can be readily altered to suit the shot at hand. Many carry a small rubber ball around in their pocket and squeeze it at intervals, others employ a wadded handkerchief for the same purpose. The objective is the same, a grip that is strong and with endurance enough to maintain high efficiency through- out a rigorous seventy-two hole tournament.

One does not think of women generally in connection with pow- erful hands but one cannot trek the better known fairways for long without coming to a realiza- tion that the star feminine, players are well equipped in this regard. They too, have strengthened their grip by various exercises. Ex- hausted fingers, or a blister on the palm have been known to tem- porarily ruin many a player's swing. The ounce of prevention here consists of building or ton- ing up the hands so that this hazard is minimized.
