BROWN ELEVEN
BEATEN ON COAST
Washington State Scores
Two TouchdoWns and
Kicks Two Goals.

Pasadena, Cal. Jan. The Wash
ington State College football team de-
feated Brown University by score of
II to 0 here to-day in 4 game that was
the feature Of the city's annual New
Year festival.
Vigorous assaults on the Brown line
and constant bucking tactics kept the
Rhode Island athletes continually on
the defensive. The game was played
in the rain.
The Eastern team held Washington
scoreless in the first half, and even i'm
perilled the goal of It's opponents on
one or two occasions, but the visitors
finally were beaten back on the water
soaked field in the third and fourth
quarters, Washington getting a touch
down and a goal III each.
Boone. who replaced Hanley at right
half for Washington at the opening OF
the second period, scored the first
touchdown, and the Washington full
back, Dietz, put over the second one.
Durham, quarterback, kicked the two
goals.

Polo Keeps on
Growing and Growing

Polo, more than envy other sport.
perhaps. has proiited in the past
from the stimulus Of international
competition. but in spite Of the
fact that TO challenre for the cup
now held in England will be made
this year or account of the var
abroad, the outlook is decidedly
bright.
To show the remarkable growth
of the game. il may he stated that
when The FIRST handicap list was
published in 1855, six years after
the game had been introduced here,
only ~ players were eligible. IL Is
now estimated that there are l.407
players in the country. of which 579
are army men, and that no less
than $500 ponies, or better mounts,
are being maintained and used in
the game.
An intersectional match between
the East and the West would do
much to lend added interest, and II
is not improbable that such meet
ing will he arranged before this new
year runs its course.

But it isn't very probable that the

far as champions are concerned that
rests beyond all human vision. We
have had thirteen amateur champions

CON. no champion having repeated since
John ]. McDermott won again IN l9lZ'
It was McDermott in 1912. Ouimet IN
1918. Hagin in 1914 and Travers IN
1915.
Last season, just at this srowbound'
windswept date, it was taken for grant
cd that Francis 0uimet would be the
most dangerous factor in the amateur
cbamnionship. and that Walter hagin
would make a hard drive TO repeat. bd'
tho 1915 records show how far OF the
Fairway Of Prophecy our drives were
hooked and sliced. For the results
show Jerry Travers, never rated star
medal player, as open champion aid
Robert A. Gardner, who had played IN
only one small tournament through the
early season, as amateur champion.
These details are merely mentioned
to show how extremely complex the
1916 campaign is sure TO be.
In the realm of amateur play Ameri-
can golf has now reached point
where there are at least ten men capa
BILE Of winning a championship. The
two best match and medal amateurs
in the country are Jerome d. Trayers
and Francis Ouimet. Ouimet slumped
last season, just as Travers did the
year before, but the Boston star GER
tainly had a slump coming after his
campaigning in 1918 and 1914.
For 1916 Ouimet is likely 70 come
back a better golfer than he ever was
before No golfer who can win an
open championship and an amateur
championship in two years IN success

The slump which Oulmet had most

Turning to certain sports in par
ticular, a word or two may be spoken,
although each will be taken up and
discussed in some detail ere this gem
eral outlook story ends.
With the war in baseball over. with
what is hoped will be lasting treaty
Of peace signed, the great national
game is almost sure TO. wax strong
and 20 take the place denied it this
last twelvemonth. The tide may not
set strongly enough TO reach the high
water mark Of 1913, but conditions are
bound to be more wholesome. Il re-
mains only for the Giants, the Yankees
or the Brooklyn Superbas to climb 20
a place at the top TO make realization
equal anticipation so far as this lit
tie corner OF the baseball map IS
concerned.
Thoroughbred racing gives higher
promise than at any time since
the sport was revived along better AMI
sounder lines after three years OF
total abolition. The i'll wind Of that
frightful war abroad has blown some
good in this direction, as number
of owners who have been racing abroad
have returned. while many good horses
of ROYAL blood have been imported TO
this country. with the sport practically
dead in England and France. It IS safe
TO say that the season in this state
will be extended and that racing Will
be on an even higher plane than was
the case last year.
Golf and lawn tennis will lack the
stimulus of international competition
but il was proved in 1915 that this was
not necessary 20 their welfare. II
needs no prophet to suggest that more
courts will be built and more links
laid out 70 make room for the converts
which are constantly rallying 20 one OF
the other. No Billy Sunday is needed
TO stir things up. These sports have
not begun to reach their full growth.
On track and field no record can be
called secure unless perchance 1t Is
