Many Stars Tee OFF This Morning
at Absecon.

ABSECoN, N. J., Jan. 1.-THE first an
nual midwinter golf tournament of the
Seaview Golf Club was inaugurated here
today when Clarence H. Geist, founder
and president of the club, drove the first
ball of the IS holes qualifying round
Partnered with H. NJ. Clements, Merton
Cricket Club. Geist left the first tee at
9 o'clock.
Another former amateur champion in
the person of W. G. Fownes, Jr., Oak
mont Country Club, was originally to
qualify in partnership with Oswald
Klrkby, Englewood, the New Jersey and
Metropolitan title holder, but, due to
pressure of business, Fownes was unable
to appear. A host of Philadelphians are
entered for todsy's qualifying round. and
as four sixteens will qualify for match
play tomorrow, goodly proportion of
Quakers should be prominent lin the
lower events. Not more than four or five
from the Quaker City stand much chance
of getting into the coveted first sixteen.
and the most likely are Howard w. Per-
rim, Pine Valley; c. B. Huxton. Hunting

Cornell Has Fast Five

Ithacans superiority IN the cage rather

of the Red and Blue. DR.. Al Sharpe has

who are capable OF meeting any kind
OF attack or defense successfully. They
are good individual players, any one be-
ing capable OF carrying the ball up the
floor under difficulties and converting 1t
into a field goal. On the other hand,
when the short passing game Is required,
the team gets together and literally be-
wilders the opposition by the fast, snap
py passes. Sharpe has shown in football
as we'll as basketball that he has dis
covered one OF the weaknesses of Amer

pei players TO act, as 1t were, in accord
ance with certain hard and fast rules
under all conditions. Obviously condi-
tons como up in all sports which must
be met by the Individual initiative. Many
coaches do not attempt to teach their
players to think for themselves. They
tell them what TO do under given con-

All contingencies cannot be met In this

Ware Sorry for Ted

Now that the Amateur Athletic Union
must answer the question of Ted Mere
dlth's eligibility to represent Pennsylva-
MIA and Meodowbrook during one season
of the year, we think It would be only
fair TO the great athlete If he be per-
mltted to run for Pennsylvania In the
open relay race at the Boston games next
month. Ted is not TO be censured for the
trouble, as he was clearly of the opinion
that he could run for Meadowbrools in
the A. A. U. games and for Pennsylvania
In contests held for colleges. The rule
on this point has never been clear, and
to make Ted suffer for the rest of the
athletes is not just. We would sug-
sest that a time limit be set, sa&
six months, when the new interpre-
tatlon OF the rule by President Lii,
of the A. A. IT., goes into effect 1t
Is readily to be seen that Meredith is
not at fault. 1t is being done in nearly
every section of America. If President
Lill doesn't relent he will likely pre-
cipitate o. fight between the University
of Pennsylvania authorities and the
A. A. U. Such a disaster is not to be
invited.

Futility of Kicking

Not only the futillty, but also the posi-
tive absurdity of kicking against a ref
day when Jasper defeated De Neri at
Musical Fund Hall. On one occasion
Jasper was gwen two extra chances to
shoot foul goals because some of the
De Nerl players protested against the
original foul too vigorously. Constant
kicking against decisions in basketbtll
and also in baseball leads to two possible
thlngs-personal disqualification or PEN
atty, or both. Every time a hot-headed
protest is registered in any game, the
team making the protest loses out. OF
course, the captain of any team in any
sport should speak with the Official II he
thinks he is justified, but for other mem
bers OF the team to make violent pro-
tests is absurd and assists the opponent.

Taylor, of Detroit, Looks Good

We notice by an exchange from De-
trolt, Mich, that a native son OF the
Tigers lair gives promise to climb the
pugilstic ladder of success Young
Sammy Taylor is the youngster we are
referring to and he is lightweight. In
his last fight Sam just walloped the ever
lasting daylights out of one of our own
townsmen. Tommy Houck. A majority
of the reports sent to this city favored
a draw decision.
But we see that q ring-side sporting
man thought that our Tommy was a real
bear for asslmilating punishment, that's
all, and 1t was Houck's ability to absorb
the gaff that enabled him to stay the
half-score of sessions.
A feature of the bout is that Taylor
entered the ring after having n needle
Of cocaine pumped into one of his hands
to deaden the pain caused by a broken
bone. That's showing some gameness.
