GOLF DEFENDED.
Splendid Argument Advanced in Favor
of Great Scotch Game.

Prime Minister Balfour has described
the drive at golf and the half Volley at
cricket as giving sensations almost aes-
thetic in intensity and quality. volumes
have been written to define every phase
of golf and to analyze every stroke, from
the practical to the artistic viewpoint, but
1t remained for the English periodical
Tit-Bits to PROFOUND the extraordinary
conundrum. "Is the golfer the enemy OF
mann The one-pound prize has been
awarded to the following answer, sent in
by v. Sutherland of Pendle road Streat-
ham. London, who deserves to be ia
nous:
Certainly not" says Mr.. Sutherland.
"Of all games golf is the one which. ow-
ing to it's supreme difficulty, calls forth
the qualities Of perseverance and dogged
endeavor to the highest pitch. 1t Is also
one of the healthiest of all games, mas
much as the exercise is not so compressed
in point of time as to become too not and
strong 1t Is usually played In the
healthiest spots, where the air Is purest
and freshest. It is for young and OLD
alike for sunshine and rain. aye. even
for snow; and it can be played by man
alone If he cannot raise partner. F1naliy,
1t is essentially a game which demands
qualities Of head as well as or hand, In
fact. 1t is said that it is because golr Is
such a worry to play that it forms such
a fine antidote for the ordinary Workaoay
worries, for one is so worried by ones

For the first time since he won the title
of lawn tennis champion OF the United
States Holcombe Ward Oft the Crescent
Athletic Club, New York. was defeated Sat
urday on the courts of the New York Lawn
Tennis Club. Mr.. Wards conqueror was
Robert La Roy of the New York Tennis
Club and of Columbia, who achieved sue
cess only after a hard battle. The score
was 7-5 81. IS.
The occasion of the meeting between
Messrs Ward and LIE Roy was the playing
OF q postponed series Of matches in the
tournament for the club championship OF
the Metropolitan Lawn Tennis League.
Both players gave an unusually clever ex-
hibition of tennis, but Mr.. LIE Roy used his
best strokes with more telling results at
critical periods. All In all, he played the
best game Of his career.
HIS clever placing down the side lines was
SO strong that Mr.. Ward was more or less
baffied by the plays. His cross court
smashes were remarkable. He handled Mr..
Wards famous reverse twist service In
good style.
That Ward was beaten on his merits the
champion himself acknowledged The ac-

in defeating their less sturdy opponents
from the Maryland Agricultural College on
Georgetown field Saturday afternoon in
the initial game OF the foot bali season.
Georgetown walked away with the game
by a score Of % to 0. The wearers of the
blue and gray, under Coach Riley, have
developed fine form, considering the prac-
tice given them. Saturdays scrimmages
showed evidences Of fatigue, which, no
doubt. will be entirely eradicated after a
few weeks OF the season has passed.
The M. A. C.. rooters and sympathizers
crowded the east side of the field and gave
ample encouragement to their fellows on the
field when occasion offered. The entire con-
test lasted twenty-five minutes, the first
half being fifteen minutes and the second
half ten minutes. Georgetown put up a
nne-bucking game from start to finish, and
her superior weight proved too much for
the Maryland youngsters. Many times dur
ing the contest the Maryland boys held the
Georgetowners for downs, but it only meant
question Of time before Georgetown,
through It's repeated attacks at one point
in the line, gained the necessary five yards
Georgetown made end gains frequently re-
sulting in four teuchdowns. Three We're
made in the first half and single touch
down in the last half.
The Maryland boys stubborniy resisted
every foot of territory in the second half
and kept the ball near the center Of the
field nearly all the time. In this period of
the game they did splendid work that clio
tied applause from both grand stands.
A feature of the game was Graham's 90
foot run after grabbing the ball outside of
a scrambling bunch Of players and running
to goal through a clear field. Mahoney's
work at right tackle was Of the highest or

FOOT BALL SEASON ON.
Couple Surprises in the Opening Games
Saturday.

Two of the big colleges that opened their
foot ball season Saturday made lower
scores than were looked for and showed
form that was not impressive. These two
were Columbia and Pennsylvania, each of
which was able to score only one touch
down against Union and State colleges the
respective opponents. Lafayette and Le-
high came to the front in good style, win
ming by one-sided scores. The scores of
the winners ran large as a rule, indicating
plenty Of vigor In the attack A notable
feature Of the days battles was the
