Championships.
This being a free country, if you
have the price, each entry is entitled
to launch his opinion.
One, for example, can figure Brown
the Eastern champion if Brown beats
Colgate.
Another can award the main plum
to Pittsburgh.
But where rival elevens play entire
ly different schedules and do not
meet, one fact only remains
That any such championship award
is not a Championship but an Opinion
The Old Reign Over.
There was a day some ten or fifteen
years ago when the Big Four-Yale,
Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania
formed the only Major League in
football and gave the winter the
crown
But this ancient regime has been
sadly scattered. Those once listed as
Minor Ieaguers have come too far for
ward to be overlooked.
Harvard might play her second
eleven against Brown, but not even
Harvard believes her first team could
have done much better. The Grim
son regulars might have held the
score down trif1e, but they could
have done little more.
The so-called New Game has ripped
the old dynasty apart Its rulership
is over
Browns Battle.
Brown has a great football team
But Brown is not yet safely over the
marsh. The Providence eleven came
to its height against Yale and Har-
ward. 1t must hold this height an
other week to beat Colgate on Thurs
day
Colgate for this game has two lead
ing assets-a Powerful machine and
the feeling that her team has every
thing to gain and little to lose. Col
gate might we'll have beaten Yale by
a safe margin If her offence had been
conducted properly. The stuff is there
to beat almost any team in the coun-
try. If Brown slumps after her Yale
Harvard conquests, which may hap
pen, Colgate is very likely to win.
Brown has a great team. But her
victorious season isn't completed yet
The Winter League.
Thanks to football, fires in the Old
Stove League of baseball have been
banked since early October
Football does that much good, if
it did nothing else.
But within another fortnight the
magnates resume session, for which
we see no reason to call for any series
Of lusty cheers.
The magnate is all very we'll He
has his part in baseball, and it is an
important part. But for all that, his
ways are never interesting to the Fan
Colony, that looks only to the player
for it's thrill
Winter Golf.
Winter golf, carried into the South. |
is a pleasing institution But so far
as developing cham pionship form it is
entirely useless.
jerome Travers believed in resting
up on the game from October to April
He found that he came back to play
with greater keeness and greater
effect.
Oswald Kirby plays practically no !
golf between September and April.
Yet Travers and Kirby have been
next to unbeatable between April and
September. On the other side, Phil
Carter, who won five consecutive
tournaments at Pinehurst last winter,
failed to win a start after April !
A few weeks of winter golf might ;
be of service But the man who tries
to put in twelve months or eleven
months play will soon come upon a
stale game, with all keenness erased.
s"Ball players may strike this
winter. This winter? Yes. But not
after April Is, when the fragrant
odor of kale is in the air again.
