PAPERS RAP FOOTBALL GAME
British Press Express indignation Be-
cause Players Refuse to Enlist
Urge Its Eradication.

Indignation against the hitherto pop
ular game of football is expressed by
nearly the entire British press be-
cause almost no men enlisted as a
result of the recruiting rallies at re-
cent matches.
1T is time to eradicate the football
cancer" says the Pail Mall Gazette,
in an article which goes on to say
that not single man was recruited
at London's principal football match,
which was attended by $4,000 specta-
tors.
A colonel who lost son at the
front and was himself returning to
the firing line appeared at this game,
says the paper, and pleaded with the
men to enlist.
"As a soldier l ask you said the
colonel. 81 say come, your country
needs you"
Then his words were drowned by
shouts when the teams came on the
field, continues the paper, which adds
that in other parts of the country the
same stolid refusal greeted the bands
of speakers and recruiting officers. No
recruits were obtained at Nottingham,
where 1000 spectators attended a
match, and no one was recruited at
Brighton.
The Evening Standard says that the
total result of the countryside move
ment was one recruit.
see f0Otho1I C11ol, YocC;OY, no
ing on earth can stop it?' says the
Standard. Vigorous youth should be
powerfully persuaded that this is not
the time for the development of any
passion save love of country"
The Westminster Gazette says there
is only one way in which the football
association can put itself right in the
eyes of the public, and that is by dis
continuing its program.

The way the New Year prophet
makes good on his predictions is to
promise every kind of bad luck there

from plague to war. AS this globe of
ours has been enjoying a steady diet of
these things since the year one, the

Never was a season so fraught with
startling reversals as the present year.
Never were champions so harshly hum
bled or so timely tumbled Of all the
champions who risked their titles this
year in America there was but one to
defend successfully. Jay Gould, the
court tennis champion of the world,
was the exception.
Since Goulds victory over the Eng
hshman early this year the champions
have steadily lost. The defeat of Nc
Loughlin was, without doubt, the big
gest surprise of the year. After one
of the most fruitful campaigns that
ever was the experience of tennis
player, the Californian was netted in
his last game of the year.
r. Norris Williams of Philadelphia,
who defeated him, was absolutely I'M
known two years ago. He suddenly
burst upon our courts in startling
blaze of brilliance from Switzerland.
He learned his game in the little coun-
try of the Alps and learned it most
thoroughly. When he arrived here he
was substantially founded in the
science of the game and only needed
a dash of American energy to make
him leading player.
The tennis situation is considerably
jammed by the victory. Who's cham
pion now? That's the question.
Conditions are quite plain, and there

PLANS ONE GREEN TO
SERVE EIGHTEEN TEES

An 18-hole golf course in 40
acre tract is the idea of a
Scotch golfer. His plan is to
lay out a perfect putting green
in the center of the tract and
place the IS tees at varying dis
tances and at different angles
about the green like the spokes
of wheel. The brilliant
thought occurred to him while
watching clock golf putting
competition.
Needless to say, the plan
would be useless for clubs, as
the spectacle of Is foursomes
approaching the same green
from IS different directions
would be appalling. For a pri-
vate course to be used only by
the owner and his friends the
scheme might be worth con-
sideration.
