RANKING OF THE GOLFERS
Amateur Champion Louis James Is
Not Accorded Place in the
First Fifteen.

There is no official way of ranking the
leading players in golf, due to the fact
that aside from the amateur champion
ship, there is no tournament in which the
entries are representative enough to fur
nisl an absolute standard Of comparison,
as the tournaments are held In dlfferent
parts Of the country, under different play
ing conditions and between entrants Of
varying merits: .. ~:
Tails year on account Of a freshet it is
generally held among eastern golfers that
the winner Of the national tournament
owed more to luck than to skill, and that
he is not really to be classed among the
first fifteen Of our golfers. 1t is not
to be overlooked that under good golfng
conditions Louis N. James put out N. H.
Conkll1, one of the best of the college
players in the amateur championship, yet
this will not offset the weight Of opin-
ion againsts James right to a high rat

There is no question as to Travis

Dark Outlook at Wisconsin,.

With the close of the football season at
Wisconsin there has been a great deal Of
speculation among the students as to the
material that will be left for the term of
next year. The past season is considered
as an unfortunate one, and the defeats of
the team are looked upon as due to contin-
ued ill luck rather than to a lack Of mate
rial.
The losses which Wisconsin will suffer
this year, however, will be severely felt,
as the best men of this years team will
not be back, several Of them because they
have played the time limit, and several
will graduate and will not return to play
football another fall.
The line will suffer the most, as all of
| the old men leave this year. Show, while
he has not played four years, is here as
graduate this year and says that he will
be unable to return to the university
again. His position will be an exceed
ingly difficult one to fill, and unless RemI
can be induced to return there is no one
| on the second team who is at all able tc
fill the requirements of a good center
Lerum, at right guard, has played the
| limit of four years, and his strength and
| experience will be impossible to duplicate
from new material. Haumerson will also
| leave the university, and his absence will
| make 1t necessary to fill the whole right
side Of the line with new men. -
Bertke and Long will both return, Bert.
Ike. being a freshman this year and Long
| a. sophomore. Among the candidates fol

both heavy, strong men, and their expert

ClNCH FOR HYDE PARK
High School Team Scores lo5 Points
on Brooklyn Polytechnic
School Eleven.

The Hyde Park high school football
team administered an Overwhelming de-
feat to the Brooklyn Polytechnic team
yesterday on Marshall field, Chicago, by q
score of 105 points to O.. At no time did
the eastern boys give evidence OF being IN
the same class with the high school lads:
The game drew a large and enthusiastic
crowd, composed principally of high school
students of the city. AS a more even
contest had been expected, the rapid scor-
ing grew somewhat monotonous. A light
snow was falling, which accounted in part
for the lack of brilliant playing.
The fasteners were unable to gain any
ground whatever, and consequently the
Hyde Parkers were in possession of the
ball practically all the time. The high
school boys played with their usual speed
and circled the Brooklyn ends at will.
Aside from the long runs OF the Hyde
Park backs, there was little star work
The snow interfered with the punting,
which was very mediocre. The kick offs
by the Brooklyn men were disappointing
