Army and Pittsburgh
ElevenS Also Put in
Bids for Honor
By FRANK O'NEILL

The pleasant task Of selecting the
Eastern football champion is engross-
ing the attention Of the experts. All
the colleges which might voice valid
claim 20 titular honors have been de-
feated except the Army. Moving across
country a short distance, 10 Pittsburgh,
another claimant for premier honors is
met. The University Of Pittsburgh,
developed by that master builder Glenn
Warner, is indicated in eight games
and has scored 256 points against 20
for her opponents. The Army swept
through nine games, piling up 254
points against 81 for her rivals.
Brown, until it encountered the
eleven from Colgate on Thanksgiving
Day, was indicated and was regarded
as the most powerful eleven in the
East Rightly so, for any team that
had the power and punch, the speed and

fences Of Yale and Harvard on sue

with az AN times Brown was judged not
so much IN the mere winning OF her
games. but in the clear cut, decisive
manner in which they were won. II
may be, Of course, that the team lost
the razor edge Of condition after the
Harvard game. but at its best 1t is
doubtful II Brown could have beaten
Colgate on Thursday.
A word Of that Colgate team might
not be amiss at this moment. Larry

Travis and Trayers

Not long ago we dropped in 20 see
Jerry Travers, and while looking over
some medals which he was putting
away at the time there were four which
caught our notice. These four medals
told the story Of consistent four-year
average that no one except possibly
Travis has ever approached.
They were dated and engraved as fol-
lows:
19l2-Amateur Championship"
"l913-Amateur Championship"
"19l4-Runner-up. Amateur Champion
ship"
'I9l5-0pen Championship"
The one silver medal came from 1914,
when he went 10 the final round. only

golf OF Francis Ouimet But TO Offset
this one defeat he beat Evans at match
play IN 1912. Ouimet at match play in
1913 and both Evans and Ouimet in
medal play in 1915. Only a golfer Of
unusual skill and unusual tenacity and
determination could round out four
such years in succession, involving
both match and medal play.
For four consecutive years OF golf
this showing is the best ever made in
American play. In 1912, 1919 and 1914,
through amateur championships, Trav-
ers, out Of fifteen matches, won Ii and
lost /. adding the open championship
10 his list after he was beaten by
Ouimet. His record there was II vic
tories out of l6 starts, an average well
above 800 for the four campaigns.

An individual achievement OF rare
merit. in whatsoever branch of sport,
always claims the bulk Of public at
tention.
Here and there the non-combatants
who view things from the lines are
willing to figure in an average, but Tor
the most part they are mainly inter
ested in what rests within easy sight.
The two most notable one-year
achievements in American golf were
undoubtedly established by Francis
Ouimet when he beat Vardon and Ray
in 1918 and by Chick Evans this wan
ing season when he bagged both the
amateur and open titles.
These were rare performances,
worthy Of all the acclaim each received.
The Star Average
But what is the best average over
four-year or "a fve-year span ever
built up? After all. it is the average
over an extended interval of time that
must count above all things else.
Such an average, in awarding the
main laurel, must be placed above any
one year of brilliance, however great.
In this latter competition there are
two men who lead the field. These two
are Walter J. Travis and Jerome d.
Travers, two Of the most notable names
in American golf, ranging from 1900
through l9l5-a span OF fifteen years.
Francis Ouimet had two great years
in 1913 and 1914 when he won the anna
teur and the open. But his career was
cut short this season by the United
States Golf Association.
Nineteen hundred and sixteen has
been Chick Evans's first notable sue
cess-ethe first time Chick had ever
landed national championship. SO in
the competitive average for national
honors Chick must look to the future
rather than back to the past.
The debate here rests between Travis
aud TraVers
