THE increasing popularity Of golf IN

clubs were started within . tommutin7

Gotham enthusiasts opportunity to pla,
this healthful sport.
There were many more matches thi,
season than IN the preceding year, ano
for that reason topnotchers appeared In
competition more frequently. rne &C.

players who were comparatively IDLE In
1910. These members Of the years roll
Of honor were Jerome d. Travers. II

The greatest match Of the yea took
place on the Apawamis Links. where
Harold Hilton. amateur champion OF
Great Britain, defeated jerome d. Trav-
ere and Herreshofr for the amateur

Of excitement. After a terrific struggle,
Hilton won the match. 8 up.
Sensational as the Travers match wak
the game between Hilton and young
Herreshoff proved TO be the greatest
golf match that was ever seen in this
or any other country.

a big lead. In the afternoon Herreshoff
recuperated quickly. His wonderful
driving and putting astonished Hilton
and the gallery alike. on the home
round the English champion began to
waver, and young Herreshoff, hole by
hole, overcame the BritisheTs early
lead. At the 3Sth hole the two players
were even up. The crowd was ~electri-
fled by the sensational finish made by
the Massachusetts, player. Because OF
the surging of the gallery on the links.

FOOTBALL

~ RINCETOS emerged a champion
in the East from a season that
L was shrouded in uncertainty.
Attendance at the big contests during
the season were larger tina the 1910
figures. but the playing of the prom
inent elevens was more or less "A dis
appointment. The fault rested on the
inability OF the coaches and players to
grasp the new open-play rules. Fall
ure of the forward pass and onside
kick to gain consistently and the
hardship of making three downs In ten
yards placed a premium on offensive
playing that resulted in all the col
leges taking to the kicking game as a
nal resort to advance the ball. IT
was altogether q defensive game that
characterized all the big contests.
Flukes played a deciding part in de-
termining the seasons games. Prince
ton won the championship because OF
the keenness OF her men to realize on
the mistakes of others The New Jersey
College headed the years ranking by
virtue of an y to 6 victory over Har-
ward; 3 to o victory over Dartmouth and
n 6 to 3 victory over Yale. In all these
encounters. "a luke play won for
