The women's national golf tournament,
which will open on the Chicago Golf club
links at Wheaton, Ill, next Tuesday. to
select a champion to succeed Mrs. Charles
T. Stout promises to be the keenest con-
test among women In history of the game
in the United States.
Nearly all of the sixty-three players
entered for the contest have arrived, and
they are putting in hard work to get in
shape for the tournament. The course is
in excellent condition and the preliminary
practice Of the competitors indicates that
several records will be smashed before
the close Of the tournament. Saturday
afternoon Players from Pittsburg, Bos-
ton,- Philadelphia and st. Louis, together
with the local force, kept the links crowd
ed all day Sunday, and several spirited
contests resulted. Despite a high wind,
which made perfect golf an imposbility,
low scores were the order Of the day, and
the course was covered by all the players
in 100 or less.
Mrs. Stout, the present champion, is
unfortunately prevented from entering the
tournament, as Is also Mrs. 3. A. Manice,
champion of the Women's Metropolitan
Golf association Of New York, but aside
from these the entry Is representative of
the entire country.

YALE SHOWS UP BEST
Pennsylvania, Harvard and Cornell
Play Raggedly in Opening
Games Of Season.
Ellis Score Almost at Will on Trinity
The Princeton Squad Is
Reported Fast.

Yale was the only one of the big east
ern teams which fulfilled expectations IN
Saturdays games. Pennsylvania made a
disappointing showing against Dickinson,
and Harvard scored only II on Williams.
The crimson is weak on defense and Is
not unlikely to lose to both Yale and
Pennsylvania this year.
Princeton has not played game, but
the tiger squad looks fast. There are few
heaSyweights in the bunch, but this is
offset by speed and DASH Dewitt, un-
questionably the greatest kicker the east
has seen In years, is a tower Of strength.
Yale made the best showing Saturday,
scoring almost at will on Trinity. Column
bia made a low score, but only because
the old men were replaced by substitutes
as soon as the team had secured a good
lead. Cornells II points against Hobart
We're disappointment to the Ithacaps.

NO BIG SURPRISES
Defeat Of Indiana the Only Upset in
Saturdays Football Games
in the West.
Northwestern Makes the Poorest
showing-Illinois Shows Up
Well Michigan Reports.

No startling surprises were sprung III
the Saturday football games in the west.
The big teams won about as had been
expected, In most cases by large scores.
The only result which came as sur
prise was the defeat of Indiana by Wa
bash. The Charlottesville college usually
has plucky team, but for good many
years past has been unable to win from,
the state school. The defeat of the uni.
versity was more surprising in view of the
rather glowing reports which had come
from Bloomington as to the heavy ma
tcrial and what was expected Of it under
Coach King.
The Wabash victory takes the edge off
the first 'big nine contest-that which
Chicago has scheduled with Indiana for
Oct s. The first 'big nine" game is
usually watched with interest. but now In
diana looks just like easy money to
Stages men and the rooters will care lit
tie about the game
Northwestern was scored on again, and
the work Of McCormacks men was gen.
orally disappointing to the purple con-
tingent. True, the score partook of a
fluke, but it was f1uke made possible by
the bad playing of the Northwestern
team, and it served to emphasize again
the weakness of the Northwestern ends.
At present the first game in the west
ern schedule which attracts attention is
the Northwestern game which is
booked for Oct. II. With this game less
than three weeks off Stage and Nc
Cormick are beginning to work with it in
view, while the students of the two in
stttutions are talking Of little else in the
football way
This is the great game of the year for
Northwestern In the long run it matters
little to the Evanston students If their
team Is beaten by Wisconsin and Illinois,
so long as it wins from Chicago. The
purple team that trails the maroon is
forgiven a multitude of sins and is held
in high esteem In Evanston
It Is hard to figure out how the students
at Illinois have right to be as dis
heartened over the game with Lombard
saturday as the dispatches from Cham
pa1gn make out they are. Perhaps the
work OF the nlini was ragged. What else
is to be expected this early in the year?
At least Woodruff's men showed scoring
ability, and that it what wins most foot
ball games.
Chlcago's low score against Lawrence
university was rather surprising, but does
not imply that the Maroons have failed to
develop as the Stages wealth Of material
leo rooters to expect. Stage used eight
substitutes In the first half, and cut the
total time down to 35 minutes. Stage has
never been particular about running up
nlgh scores on weak teams, and like KING.
OF Wisconsin he tries to perfect his men.
III the rudlments Of the game before he
devotes much attention to team work.

PURPLE PLAYS POOR GAME
NapervIIIe College Scores on the North
western Eleven.

Chicago, Sept. 28.-Naperville college
scored on Northwestern university Sat
urday in the football game at Evanston.
The ball was on Northwestern's twenty
nve-ysrd line shortly before. the close of
the game, and in the purples' possession.
1t was frmbled by Scott and rolled be-
hind the Napervflle llnesman, where Cap
tain Unger picked It up and ran unmo-
Tested behind Northwestern's goal for a
touchdown. The final score was % to 6
in favor of Northwestern.
The work. of the Evanston men was
sadly disappointing during the entire
game. Fumbles were frequent several
chances to score being lost by the ball
going over on fumbles. In line bucking
the gains came hard and slow, the Naper-
Vile line proving strong, and several
times Fleager's men were forced to punt.

YALE SCORES AT WILL
Ell Regulars Find Trinity Eleven an
Easy Proposition.

New Haven, Conn.,. Sept. 28.-Yale
rolled up 35 points against Trinity Satur-
day in the opening game of the season,
against 40 against the same eleven last
year. OF these % were scored in the first
half, Yale crossing her opponents goal
almost at will. In the second half Yale
found it harder to score because of the
fact that she had substitute team
against the Hartford players, but crashed
thru the striped uniforms of the visitors
for two. more touchdowns during the re-
naming ten minutes of play. Homan,
Shevlin and Metcaf were the Yale's stars.

the Buckley brothers. White made a
good end run OF about1S yards. Waters,
the only real veteran, played and bril-
iiantly. and Captain Coulthard was also
strong at end.
For the Methodists. Moore and Nelson
did some good tackling, and Gown
garnered IN 9 fine 25-yard run, breaking
thru the Iowa bunch largely thru the in
.erlerence OF Matthews-and the self-in-
reference OF the hawkeyes.
Inc play turnout the game was In Cor
mems territory, and Iowa lost the ball on
downs but once. Cornell, unable to make
her gains, handed the ball over to the
locals time and again. and was even
more frequently forced to punt.
