VIRGINIA SATISFIED
WITH RICE WARREN
His Selection Meets With Ap-
proval Of Faculty, Alumni,
and Students.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. Feb. 19.-
Students and alumni Of the University
of Virginia are today expressing salts
faction over the selection of Rice War
ren. former Orange and Blue end, n
head coach of the 1913 eleven. War
ren's experience as assistant to Yam
cey and Elliott, coaches in charge for
the last two seasons. Is esteemed highly
by the athletic authorities.
When Speed Elliott was chosen al
head coach two years ago he asked
Warren to be his chief assistant, and the
latter proved a most able man in this
respect. While in charge Of athletics
at Randolph-Macoh College for two
years Warren's success with the base
ball and football teams was most pro-
nounced. The State championship In
both sports was captured each season,
largely through the capable teaching Of
the new Virginia coach.

Many Entries for
Bowling Meeting
Here Next Month

There seems to be little doubt that
the forthcoming Greater Richmond
bowling tournament will prove a
bowling success.
Local bowiers have been imbued
with the enthusiasm following a sue
cessfui event. and that successful
event happened to be the big Tri-
city tournament In Washington
Fifty Richmond bowlers engaged In
the Washington tournament. They
were impressed by the energy dis
played By the local as well as foreign
bowlers and the Richmond contin-
gent believed that with the Greater
Richmond tournament as an incentive
to more activity, the next Inter-city
tournament. with Washington and
Baltimore as contenders, will prove
even more interesting and successful
than othat pulled off in the national
capital city.
Secretary Goetze, OF the forthcom-
ing tournament, reported last night
that he had received large number
of entries, and that there was no doubt
that the tournament would bring out
all the best bowlers from Petersburg
and Richmond.
President Sam williams, of the
Richmond Bowling association, la
working hard for the State tourna-
ment. He has heard from Norfolk
and Roanoke, and expects to be In
touch with the other cities In the
proposed league within the week.
The Greater Richmond tournament
leads up to the State league tourna-
ment and that leads up to the Inter
city tournament. All lead up to the
interests Of bowling In all cities In
teresteds
Entry blanks for the city tourna-
ment may be secured from Secretary

Amateur Golfers
Are Too Daring,
Writer Declares

Several interesting veins OF specula-
ton have been recently opened by
the question of how far the differences
in style. reflect the mental attitude of
the amateur and professional golfer
with regard to the game. says the New
York Telegraph. 1t Is commonly sup
posed that the reason for the super
iority of the professional golfer over
the amateur IL that he knows that
he has living to make by the very
manner In which he plays On how
we'll he can play depends his reputa-
ton. and 1t Is reputation that brings
In dollars. The professional cannot
afford. therefore. to play badly. in the
generally accepted sense OF the term,
consequently he Is continually trying
to do his best He is always playing
up to concert pitch.
The amateur. on the other hand,
it is contended. has not this con-
slant spur to force him to put for
ward his best foot, as IL were. He
does not take IL very seriously if he
does not play in particularly bril-
liant fashion, ana X he does he Is
prone to embark on theories and ex-
periments with more or less disastrous
results.
In this way he Is liable to lose con-
fdence in himself. and hts style. no
less tnan ms execution. renects his
weakness. Undoubtedly, there Is a
great deal in these arguments, but
others are inclined to believe that
the professional style ana methods
are really separate cult. The cad
die. or embryo professional. models
himself after the leading professionals
almost entirely and In q purely tenta-
tive manner.
The amateur. on the other hand. IL
he does initiate the professional. does
so with certain reservations born OF
the fact that he Ii an amateur and
cannot hope to completely emulate the
skill Of those who devote their lives
to the game. He Is rather more like
ly TO model himself after some cham
pton amateur, which may account for
the perceptihle difference that there
is between the styles OF tho profess
sionai and amateur players
Considering the wide diversity In
styles among golfers. 1t h remark
able that there should be this gen.
erai distinction between the two
classes Of players. There are. OF
course. those amateurs whose style
is like professionals. chiefiy through
the fact that they have been taught

ElE,erfeld and Street.

In Chattanooga friends of Gabhy
Street and Kid Elberfeld say they
will have big year this season.
They base this assertion upon two
facts. One is that Streets only short
coming in the majors was that he
pegged a trifie wild on his throws.
and the other is that Elberfeid is
one of the best men in the business
taking in wide ones and getting his
man. A number of Streets admirers
In Washington. in fact, have minated
that the passing of the Tobasco Kid
was largely responsible for his res
lease. as none of the young crop OF
tnffelders secured by Clark Griffith
could handle his particular pegs which
Eiberfeld always converted into cer-
tain putouts.
