WOMEN GOLFERS
USUALLY WEAK
AT SHORT GAME
Mrs. Barlow and a Few
Other Local Experts,
However, Combine Good
Putting With Driving.

One would imagine, and naturally
enough, that women golfers as a general
rule would be strongest in their short
game. AS matter of fact, the reverse
is nearer to the truth
The fair golfer generally gets away
from the tee in very good shape. not a
great length. but invariably true.
Through the green, too. their play is con-
is reached there comes tendency to
lapse.
There are, of course, some few excep-
tions to this. AIRS. Barlow usually
crowns good work up to the green with
fine putting, seldom II ever using more
than the regulation two puts to the
green. Then. too, there are a few local
players who, while not any great shakes
from the tee and through the green, ap-
proach and putt with deadly accuracy,
But with the average golfer of the fair
sex there is inclined to be a most la
mentable falling Off on the putting greens.
Apropos of this, a good story is told of
Miss Gladys Ravenscroft. the English
girl who won the national championship
at Wilmington last year. Miss Ravens
croft was noticeably off her putting in an
important event. and her caddie began to
take the matter very much TO heart. On
the way to the clubhouse. after the first
round, he unburdened his pent-up feel
ings;
you'll do better this afternoon. You
'avent been playing golf at all. You've
played 'ockey9'

COLLEGE BOXING LEAGUE
Penn Enthusiastics Attempting to
Work Up More Interest in Sport.

University OF Pennsylvania boxing enthusi-
ssta are trying TO work up, enough Interest in
other colleges to form an intercollegiate Hox-
ing League and to hold championship tourna-
snent IN the various weights. just as 10 now
done In wrestling.
Several institutlons. notably Yale and Column
bia, have been approached on the subject hut
so Tar have declined TO enter such a league
The objection made Is that while boxing is en-
Enthusiastically pursued at all the big unIver-
stiles OF the country Il has too many danger
out tendencies for an intercollegiate sport As
Doctor Mckenzie explained there Is the fear
that IN a contest for championship honors the
sport might smack too much OF the prize ring
arouse hard feelings and possibly lead 10 acci-
dents.
Pennsylvania under the instruction OF George
Decker. has a class OF nearly 90 young men
working regularly. plan Is now under con-
aidsratton for having a triangular meeting
with Princeton and Franklin and Marshall.

NO ADJUSTMENT
HAS BEEN MADE
IN BROOKE CASE
Board of Directors Have Yet
to Decide Whether Uni
versity of Pennsylvania
Will Retain Coach or Not.

The University of Pennsylvania fotbal
team needs man with personality that
can command the respect of the players
and insili them with the spirit that wins
games. according to prominent members
OF the alumni who say that there has been
no such man connected with the football
team since Mike" Murphy.
There is a general opinion among the
alumni, the student body and the MEM
bers OF tho team at the University that
something must be done to improve the
showing that has been made by the
football team. Although there is con-
siderable talk about proposed changes
nothing definite has been done, and owing
to the delioacy of the situation nobobdy
Is willing to be quoted until after official
action has been taken.
1--WE do really need man with a per-
sonality like Mike Murphy" said a
former football star. Murphy could put
more fight into n team and get more out
of the players than any other man I
know Of He turned the tide OF more foot
ball games than anybody ever realized.
81 do not believe that the team had
any such personality behind It this year
The vote of the varsity players shows con-
cluslvely that something was radically
wrong
Nobody. in my opinion, can say that
George Brooke did not do all that was in
his power to produce winning team
But IL is evident that either the system
was at fault or the players were not
properly drilled.
George Brooke would make an excel
lent advisory coach, but the football men
need somebody with striking person.
ality and different teaching methods on
the field
THE bac'tfield in particular needs
coaching. The men on the eleven did not
seem to know just what was expected
of him on each play. The system of de-
fensivo backfield play that was developed
by Andy Smith and handed down |
through succeeding players is in my mind |
largely responsible for the excellent de-
fenslve work that was done by Captain |
Journeay this year"
There is n division of opinion among
-he students over the action taken by
he members of the sootball team in vot-
ng against Coach Brooke So far no
iefinite action has been taken by the
3oard of Directors. The opinion is that
he vote was a mere expression of per-
onal opinion take in confidence.

EXEMPTS BAY STEAMERS
Revised Seamen's Bill Will Not Re-
uuire Them 10 Carry Full Life
boat Equipment.

Washington, June 1G-The House
Committee on Merchant, Marine and
Fisheries has cdrPleted its recon-
struction of the La Toilette seamen's
bin and has stricken from the Senate
measure the provisions requiring en-
tire lifeboat equipment for Chesa-
peake Bay steamships.
Under the House Committee bl!l,
the United States Steamboat lnspec-.
tion Service is authorized to Gesig-
nate the character and amount OF
life-saving equipment for vessels ply
ing on inlarIl waters and bays IKE
the Chesapeake.
The La Toilette bill provided that
the bay steamers should be equipped
with enough lifeboats to carry the full
passenger capacity of the vessel. In
this connection the House Commit
tee bin breaks away from the La Fol-
lette measure. The latter bill lin
tied life-saving equipment of stean'-
ships to lifeboats only. The House
measure on the other hand provides
that the vessels can carry pontoon
RATS as a part Of their life-saving
equipment. The pontoon RATS can
be so arranged on vessels as to not
occupy as much space as lifeboats
chesapeake Bay steamboat COM
panies protested vigorously against
/ the provisions of the La Toilette bill
before the House Committee last win
ter. They claimed that they would be
compelled to reconstruct all their YES
I sels in order to provide lifeboat
equipment. They adder that in ad.
dition to lifeboats their ships carry
q large number of.life RATS which are
as safe and secure in protected water:
as are lifeboats. Under the recon
structed measure, the Steamboat in.
spectors will provide lifesaving Graf
regulations for southern waters which
will meet the weather conditions. Th'
Chesapeake Bay steamers will there
fore be subject to the regulations TO:
