CHANDLER ECAN
GIVES EXPERIENCES
Crack Golfer Tells How He Was
Led to Take Up the Game
and Pursue It.

NEW YORK. May Fin the current
issue Of Golf Illustrated H. Chandler
Egan the American champion amateur 81
1904 and 1905. tells the story of his golf
life as follows:
Il do not need to look very far back for
the beginning Of my golf as my name is
but seven years old and | feel that there
is still more to learn. Golf first attracted
my attention in the summer of 1897, when
my brother and myself laid out three
hole course IN a small COW pasture at the
back of our house in Highland Park, ILL.,
ArtihclaI hazards were unnecessary, as the
uneven grounds, long grass, trees and ten
MS court fence furnished plenty of trouble
for our untutored game. The holes aver
aged possibly fifty or sixty yards In length,
and there were no greens, or excuses for
greens-merely a small hole in the ground
a little deeper than the many hoof-prlnts
of the COW. Our clubs. or. more correctly
speaking, club, was crooked stick, which
had been used many time for Shiny on
the ice in winter time, and we used q
tennis ball.
My cousin, Walter Egan, had been
playing golf since the spring of 1896 and
l shall never forget the time he first
visited our crude links. He had with him
an iron and a real golf ball. objects of
great interest to my brother and myself
We showed him the first tee, and pointed
10 where the first hole was beyond the
tennis court in corner of the fence
There was no flag in the hole nor was
there any other means of his knowing its
exact position, but he played his stroke
up among the trees and we went after II
A diligent search proved useless until one
OF US discovered it lying In the hole That
was my introduction to golf it should
be played.
During the early summer of 1898 nv
brother and l visited a cousin at Lake
Geneva, Wis, where thsre is an attrac-
tive eighteen hole course. For the first
time we played on d real golf course and
with real clubs, and were introduced to
the narrowing troubles of sand bunkers
and bitches However the game had taken
strong hold on US. and it wasn't long
before the weeds grew undisturbed in our
tennis court at home My brother and l.
with some three or four boys laid out a
nine-hole course, using our pasture. the
nelghbors lawns and the stretch of grass
up and down the road. We had the golf
fever bad that we took great care in
cutting and rolling greens for each hole
and using empty tin cans to line the holes
with. Then, OF course, came the excite
ment of buying our first clubs. After
careful perusing of a catalogue We each
bought cleek and a mashie, and then
our games began.
I'VE were golf crazy. to speak and
that winter we had many an indoor put
ting match. placing the tin discs in differ
ent rooms on small rugs. and placing
chairs as hazards to punish inaccuracy.
We held championship nearly every
week. with possibly six or seven entries
and had most exciting and close matches.
This indoor putting is. think, splendid
practice for the eye and for delicacy of the
touch in putting. carpets and rugs make
very fast green's
Seeing how fond We were of the game,

FOOT BALL WILL BE
ON TRIAL AT HARVARD

After a judicial investigation that would
do justice to the United States Supreme
Court the board of overseers of Harvard
University has sanctioned foot ball for an
other year at Cambridge. The vote of the
Harvard authorities which was by no
means unanimous, was made affirmative
only after a subcommittee had made a care
full investigation of the new rules both the
oreucally and practically and reported ia
vorably to the board. Although the board
permits foot ball the foot ball authorities
have been given to understand that the
game Is still on trial and If the evils COM
planned of by the President are not elimi-
mated next fall the game will be abolished.
The overseers believe that the evils In the
past have been due to lax work on the part
OF the officials Now they say that with
stricter and more conscientious officials the
game will be without some of Its previous
Objectionable features. Coach Reid and
Capt. Foster Of the Harvard eleven have
pledged themselves to do all in their power
to stamp out roughness and brutality
among Harvard's players. To do this they
have promised to remove from the game
instantly any player seen to offend against
the new order of things.
This statement may be taken with a grain
and coaches were willing to remove offend
ing players they either would not see the
illegal playing or If they did they could
not view 1t in the same way an impartial
observer would. 1t looks as though the
Harvard captain and coach took this stand
for the effect II would have on the over
seers, who had not then announced their
willingness to let the game live. The only
way to remove the element of roughness Is
to give the officials more power and to
make them responsible to central body.
AS 1t is now. all universities can still select
their own officials. and if a man roasts one
team by his decisions more than is thought
fair he Will be dropped the same as here
tofore. This has occurred time and time
again in recent years. many good officials
being refused further work by big teams
because they disqualified some gridiron
star. The only way to remedy this is for
the big universities to appoint committee
to secure officials. and these officials to be
assigned to certain games, Irrespective of
the wishes of the colleagues concerned
This is the only way to secure officials who
VIII thoroughly enforce the rules.
With Harvard back in the game 1t is
probable that the Crimson will have but
one big contest this year. this being with
Yale. The break with Pennsylvania is now
complete. Since the game Is on trial at
Harvard 1t lie probable that the foot ball
authorities there will try to placate Presi-
dent Eliot by playing shorter schedule
than heretofore.

Be Considering the Next
Campaign.

The playing season of the Departmental
Chess League is drawing to close. A
meeting of the executive committee will

which plans will be discussed for next sea-
sons campaign.
In the chess match between War and
State. scheduled for last Monday night the
diplomats forfeited to the champions thus
boosting the latter to thirteen games in the
won column.
On Tuesday night the warriors met Jus
tice and found them easy, as far as mat
tiers went, winning both of the games COM
pieted. Should they get so much as a draw
at either of the two remaining boards they
will land this match also.
The pending difficulty between Agricul-
ture and G. p. o. was completed during the
week. the typos scoring just twice as many
points as did their opponents. This was
big match, consisting of six boards and the
printers set the pace from the beginning
