GREAT MASKED GOLF
PLAYER is MYSTERY

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Golfers at
the Van Cortlandt Park links have
remarked this week the presence
there of a mysterious golfer who
wears a black mask while playing
the course. Those who have watched
his play declare that the length Of
his drives is remarkable. enabling
him to cover the rather hard curse
at a score close to boyle. with APP
parent case.
1t was declared today that the mys-
FERROUS visitor is an English expert
who has just come to this country
on q wager Of $25, 900 to break the
records of the six best courses in the
United States, and a~fterward. on a
wager of So, 900, to beat the American
amateur champion in a match game.
The identity of the masked golfer
is kept in ~obscurity, but 1t is said
that his name is familiar in England
and this country. The BLACK Masker"
yesterday took seventy-one strokes to
play the eighteen holes at Van Cort-
landt. This is one stroke better than
the record. He made one drive of
nearly 800 yards, better than the
worlds record.

HARVARD'S BEST PLAYS, BY STRONG TIGER
SCRUBS, FAIL TO BAFFLE The VARSITY
Most of Yesterdays Crimson
Work ON Blackboard, Explain
ing Princeton Weakness.

PRINCETON. oct. 30.-Forty-lve
minutes of stiff scrimmaging featured
the practise for the Tiger football
players on University Field yesterday
afternoon. "Heff' Herring's scrubs
came into the spotlight again after
several days work behind the stands
in the preparation of plays which arc
intended to be puszlers for tho first
string. An attempt was made 10 re-
produce some OF Harvard's strongest
formations and tricks. but it was at
tended with very Indifferent success.
The first part Of the scrimmage was
used for defensive work, for the var
sity and the scrubs displayed all the
variations in their mode of attack
that it was possible to use. going
from forward passes executed be-
tween Boland and Hammond TO the
straight old style line plunges by
Harlow and Hammond. The regulars
seemed a little bewildered at first,
but found themselves in time TO pre-
vent any scoring.
When the varsity had their turn on
the offense "Stew" Baker sent them
intO THE Ediiis WIN a SWING duu IL
dash which seemed about to carry
the scrubs off their feet. Waller
smashed along through the line for
pretty consistent gains. but the
scrubs defense frightened after he
had skinned through tackle for a
thirty-yard run ending in q touch
down. and no more scoring was done
on either side.
g., Dunlap played a game at right end
on the varsity which was worthy of
his old form in every way. and great
hope is centred in him at that posi-
ton for next Saturday. STREET. was
again sen in to try out at left end.
The coaches are convinced that he is
developing into a strong man, and his
weight will be a great advantage on
the line. Peniield kept ed" Trenk-
mans place at right tackle for most
of the scrimmage, but Ed was all
lowed to go in for a few minutes
just at the finish.
DE Witt did not even join the var
sity in signal drill, although he vas
on the field punting nearly the whole
time. A punting contest was held be-
tween Waller and De Witt, the high
est average going to the former, who
sailed down the field for tlfty-tive to
sixty yards nearly every time.
The tackles were handed over to
'Bihi Lee for some individual work,

tory and on the first attempt negoti-
ated a goal from placement from the
55-yard lie, scoring five points.
Following the introduction of the
play by Notre Dame in 1897. it be-
came a regular part of the aggressive
play of the football teams of the
country. The East adopted it and
j. r. De Witt. Of Princeton, became
the first great p~lace-kicker OF that
section. In 1901, 1902 and 1908 De
Wits place-k!cking caused trouble
for all the teams on the Princeton
schedules.
Pete Houser, Carlisle. is probably
the greatest place-kicker ever de-
veloped. He mastered the art, and
with tn cooperation OF his team
mates. became a constant scoring as
set for the Indians.
"P. J. O'Dea, Wisconsin. was a
great place and drop-kicker and is
credited with the longest drop-kick
and place-kick from scrimmage aver
made in America. O'Dea dropped a
goal against Northwestern from the
63-yard line. He made O. place-kick
from the 5S-yard line against Illinois.
"Parke Fl. Davis, Princeton, '93. now
a well-ltnown lawyer in Pennsyl-
vania, has compiled a record of goals
made from drop and place-kicks in
twenty-five series of games. 1t be-
gins with Eastern games of the '70's
and includes also a few teams of the
West. This list shows 14S goals in
important matches.
THE Eastern teams are credited
with 124 goals and the Western teams
with twenty-four. Fourteen Eastern
teams, however. are considered in this
list and for Il period of thirty-fve
years. Three Western teams ore con-
esidered, covering fifteen years. This
gives the Eastern teams about one-
quarter of a goal per team per year.
1t gives the West a little moro than
half n goal per team per year.
1.-THE fact brought out by this COM
pilation is the prevalence of kicking
in Western football"

That Sidney York, the big s25-
pound guard, who played such a

"a new way of scoring was in
vented with the first use of the place
kick from scrimmage," writes John
r. Richards.
This kick is made by placing a
player from eight to twelve yards be-
hind centre, to whom the ball is
passed by the centre. Another player
stands q few feet back OF this first
man, and as the ball is placed on
the ground and held in position, the
second player kicks ii,
"All this Is done while the line and
disengaged backs are blocking oppo-
nents to prevent spelling the kick.
The place is a little slower thar the
drop-ltick.
1.-THE p~lace-kick was used long be-
fore the application of the kick in a
scrimmage was thought out. Place
kicks for goal after a touchdown had
peer In use for years. Place-kicks
following O ~fair-catcll. whereby the
catching side has earned the right to
a free-kick, were long in use.
"The idea Of using the place-kick
under the trying circumstances or a
scrimmage developed into tangible re-
suits in 1897. The first time it was
used was In a game between Notre
Dame and Chicago universities.

given in the announcement. Peter

cally have disrupted our cheering
