The second largest field ever entered in
an amateur tournament in Massachusetts
excepting the NatIonaI-was the i2j
entries FOR the qualifying round in the
tournament at the Woodland Golf Club.
II seems that as far as popularity Is
concerned Philadelphia has the edge OH
Boston. Witness the $50 odd entries in
the Philadelphia Cricket Clubs tnurna-
ment, and the 2O) odd i'm tho Golf Asso-
cations tournaments at Merton.
Young Reginald NJ. Lewis, of Ridgefeld,
Conn, who hos been mentioned several
times in these columns furnished the
thrill In tho 3G-hole final for the Presi-
dents cup at Ekwnnok, previous to the
National Amateur. Lewis opponent was
Fred Martin, of tho home club. and. al
though Martin won, Lewis gave the gal
lery something to talk about. He made
the long seventh hole-5SO yards--in three!
a fine drive, perfect brassle and long putt
set the record for the hole at that figure,
Three on the seventh hole at Ekwanok
has been made before, hut at n time
when the hole was some so yards shorter.
In all likelihood the course OF the Pine

The dethroncmcnt OF every member OF
the big Six" is now complete. The
feat Of Williams College in outplaying
and holding Princeton to tie score of
IL leaves not member Of this seXtet
with clean record. IT Is true that
Princeton and Harvard have both man
aged TO escape defeat but both have
been outplayed and held to tie scores.
The other universities comprising this
group-Yale, Pennsylvania. Dartmouth
and Cornell-have all been beaten.
The November schedules begin with
Harvard bracketed for the leading honors,
with Dartmouth and Yale tied for second
place. and Pennsylvania and Cornell
bringing up the rear in the order named.
The arbitrary grouping OF these six uni
versties is not a denial of equal or SUI
perior strength to such institutions as
Washington and Jefferson, Penn state,
Syracuse or Michigan, II Is merely that
the teams referred to as the big Six"
considered year after year, plays the
highest average football.
The following statistics show the present
rating of the big Six:

four occurred in high school games four
in independent team contests, one in
college interclass match and one in col
Iege practice, Only one of the players
killed belonged TO a carefully trained
team.
OF the multitude Of college men who
have played this fall. only two have been
badly hurt. Atwood Violet. a scrub half
back at Yale. was seriously hurt In maxi
ing a tackle recently. ]. B. Coleman,
funback OF the Central Kentucky eleven,
was probably fatally injured In game
PLAYED against Vanderbilt University
II appears that hard tackling In the
open field has been largely responsible
for the worst injuries. Formerly the
greatest number Of players were hurt In
mass plays Five OF the deaths this sea-
son were caused by hard falls after
tackles in the open held. Three resulted
from the plling up Of players IN mass
plays. One player died from kick In
the stomach. Dudley Gorthrop, Of Nc
Allen, Tex, who died last night, was
fatally kicked In the temple There is
no doubt that within the last few years
the elimination Of the old style Of tandem
and other mass plays have kept the ia
talltles down. In the days when such
plays were in vogue. Il Was no uncom~
mon thing for 40 players to be killed In
a single season. In the last four years
the total has not exceeded IA, and In
1919 only 70 deaths resulted.

The Eastern Basketball League will

the Jasper five champions of last year
clash with Trenton In the lair of the
Bengals.
Assuming that the nves representing
the six clubs of the circuit are ready for

four OF the teams, It looks as II there will
be mad scramble for the top honors
during the l9li-l5 season.
Both clubs that get into action i'm tho

llne-ups since last season.
The Jewels have lost the services of
Dutch Wolfarth, the blind dribbler. and
his place has been filled by William

De Neri. The probable lineup for Jasper
tonight will be Fitzgerald and Hummer
at forwards, Cavanaugh nj centre and
Eckhardt and Brady guards.

The missed signal incident occurred in

for a first down then and a touchdown
