Turns Eligibility Question
Over to Athletic SOlOnS.

New Haven. Feb. 5.-The cases OF
Pumpelly, Easton, Rhett. lie Gore and
afilburn. the Yale baseball players
whose disqualification for playing sum
mer baseball has now become history,
took new turn this afternoon when
they we're brought before the pruden-

late last fall giving sweeping authority
in athletic matters to Messrs. Robert
Corwin. Henry Hobson and George
Parmly Day. lt referred the cases OF
the five athletes 20 this committee Of
three for final action and decision.
This action by the prudential COM
rnttee makes IL likely that final de-
cision will be reached in the cases Of
the five athletes some time the coming
week
Following the meeting Of the pruden-
tial committee, at which there were
present the following members: Henry
b. Sargent and Eli Whitney, New Ha-
ven: Otto p. Banard and Clarence II.
Kelsey. New York City, and the Rev.
James Wesley Cooper, Of New Britain,
this statement was given out:
AT meeting Of the prudential com

today letter was read from Professor
Robert y. Corwin, chairman Ct the ath-
letic committee. setting forth the de-
sire OF the association that the COM
mittee should take under considera-
tion questions pertaining 10 eligibility
of athletes.
"In answer to this communication the
prudential committee called attention
TO the resolution which WAS adopted
by the corporation November Is, 1915,
which provided that 'Messrs. Robert y.
Corwin, George p. Day and Henry W.
Hobson. the members Of the executive
committee Of the Yale University Ath-

by which these matters shall be perma-
nently safeguarded In the constitution
of the Yale Athletic Association.
The prudential committee further
stated that az no such plan had as yet
been presented pertaining to athletic
matters at Yale. all questions relating
10 athletic matters are in the control
of the three graduates named in the
foregoing resolution. and that their de-
c.sion In any such matter when rem
dered is 20 be regarded as final.

Magazine Article by H. l..
Fitzpatrick Opens an In
teresting Line of
Comparison.
By FRED HAWTHORNE.

An article in last months Golf IL
lustrated," by II. L. Fitzpatrick, on
early American Golf Reporters"
serves 70 show the difficulties under
which the golf news chasers labored
twenty years ago, and opens an inter
esting line OF comparison with the
monner in which the daily newspapers
treated the Scottish game then and
their attitude toward Il at the present
day.
In 1924. when the second amateur
championship tournament Of the United
States was played over the course OF
the St. Andrews Golf Club. in Yonkers.
four newspapers sent men 10 cover
the story.
The sporting editor Of "The Morning
World" according 10 Mr Fitzpatrick,
fguratively turned up his nose at the
idea of wasting an otherwise perfectly
good reporter on such a newfangled
fancy as golf, and that newspaper was
not represented at St. Andrews on the
opening day Of play.
What a contrast to-day Last year,
when the amateur championship was
played over the course Of the Detroit
Country Club. in Michigan, several
hundred miles from New York, almost
every newspaper in this city had at
least one man on the grounds. These
men were selected because of their
particular qualifications for describing
what they saw. and they kept the tele-
graph wires humming from the close
OF each days play until well into the
night
Some OF the newspapers spread the
10 f1vv f4o1 - Of m a
teur championship over two or three
columns. Special photographers were
also assigned 90 snap the players as
they sat on the clubhouse veranda, as
they sauntered about the grounds and
tee or digging ball out Of deep sand
trap.
Some Of the golf reporters even
availed themselves Of the use of special
scouts or couriers, whose business II
was 10 follow certain matches over the
course, and. in case something unusual
happened. 10 hasten back 10 the club
house and report.
"Marston is 2 up on Travers at the
twelfth and is going like a streak 3"
was the word that came from across
the rolling hills at Crosse Pointe on
the second day Of match play on the
Detroit links Hardly had the courier
delivered this startling message than
everybody began a trek over the links
toward the thirteenth green, where
Travers and the slender Marston we're
holding out in one Of the most heart
breaking struggles ever staged IN the
amateur championship.
Several hundred persons formed

The Seven Waggles.

Carter's iron play and his putting
rank above his work with the wood. In
all long shots he has one peculiar freak
OF form that is, inability 10 swing a
club until ne has taken seven preliml-
nary waggles or wiggleS, as you VIII
have II. the list embracing four long
ones and three short ones. This pre-
liminary waste gives the idea Of ex-
treme nervousness. but it doesn't seem
to affect his game
lie s,ys that he has tried TO break
himself Of this habit. but that he finds
IL impossible TO swing his club until he
has performed these peculiar rites.
All this wasted preliminary work
with the wood and full iron shots is
all the more remarkable when com
pared with his method OF putting,
which is carried through almost as
swiftly as Alec Smith puts.
In addition 20 the various champion
ships this season. Carter expects 10
enter most OF the leading tournaments
held in the East, so that he will be
able 70 maintain standard form and
gather in additional experience.
In the MetropQ, itan Amateur the
Nassau Country Club gets one Of the
best tournaments ever played in the
East. Mention already has been made
OF Phil Carter's outlook. but the field
this June will carry too much class for
any one man to be listed as favori;e.
We happen 10 know that Jerry Trsv-
ers would esteem il more than average
bliss 70 win the tournament this year
Jerry hasn't won a Net since 1918.
In 1914 he was abroad and last year
he was beaten by Walter J. Travis in
what probably will be their final meet
ing on the ancient green. Ionors
would then be even. for az their first
meeting, nearly twelve years ago. 1904,
Travers won from the "Old Man" at
Nassau IN oae OF the most memorable
ma'ches ever played in this country.
Walter J. was then American and
British amateur champion Travers was
a kid. sixteen years old The two met
in the Nassau final. and at the thir-
teenth hole Walter J. was , up. But
Jerry won the fourteenth. and the
seventeenth. hslved the others, and
finally bseged the match by running
down a ten-foot putt for on the
twenty-first green.
