AWAITS
COLGATE GAME
OF NEXT YEAR

Providence, Dec. s.-Brown will
lose only five men from its football
squad this spring by graduation,
Sprague, Wade, Ward. Jimmy Murphy
and Ormsby. OF these Sprague was
the regular centre. and Wade a regu-
lar guard. Ward would unquestion-
ably have been regular tackle had
not injuries kept him on the hospital
list a greater part of the time. Jimmy
Murphy was substitute quarterback
and Ormsby substitute end.
With ffty-flve of the squad OF sixty
first and second string men return
ing, with three men Of absolute var
sity calibre in Shaw, Kewalsky and
Gordon becoming eligible, and with
the usual amount OF good material
from the freshman class, the pros
poets in 1917 should be the brightest
in the history of the college.
Despite the setback OF Tranksgiv-
ing Day. the season Just closed was
the most successful Brown has ever
experienced.
This years anti-climax game with
Colgate is sure not 10 be repeated In
1917, which season will wind up with
a Dartmouth game.

Princeton Eleven to Play
Fordham Team Next Year

The success Of the Fordhsm Univer-
sty eleven this year has led several
strong teams 20 offer the Bronx men
games. Several days before the end
o. the season the Princeton manage
ment made an offer, and yesterday II
was definitely announced at Fordham
that the Tigers will be met at Prince
ton on Saturday, October 6.
The Maroon appeared on the Prince
ton football slate in 1908, 1893 and
1919 A game was offered last season,
but the Fordham authorities turned 1t
down.
The Army desired Fordham 20 open
The season on September 20, but with
the Princeton game only a week away
he proposition was turned down. Ford
han is negotiating for a later date. but
10 doubtful n the soldiers will be
able 70 find a place for the locals.
Rutgers desired to meet Fordham at
Iordham Field on Election Day, the
date that has been accorded George
'ovn Tor many years. The George
lown-Fordham fray is a big drawing
card, and unless this contest could be
staged on Thanksgiving Day, an Elec-
ton Day game with Foster Sanford s
charges seems improbable. The New
Brunswick management however, IS
considering another date, and meet
ing MAY be arranged.
An effort is being made 70 have the
annual Holy Cross game played on Co
lumbus Day. This date was filled with
Boston College last season, but CHAR
ley Brickley cancelled the game for
the New Englanders.

Maroon schedule last September, Will

Various Systems

The three amateurs who probably
have been deadliest from ten TO thirty
yards away are Harold Hilton, Jerome
Travers and Walter J. Travis. Hilton,
according to Travers, is the finest play
er on this shot that he has ever seen.
From within thirty yards Of the
green" says Jerry, "the English star Is
almost sure TO be dead for one putt. /
have seen him put three or four in sue
cession less than a foot away, closer
than one would expect TO put an APP
proach putt"
Alex Smith, the ex-open champion,
doesn't agree with Travers. Alex picks
Trayers himself for the leadership in
this shot when Jerry was playing
steadily" says the Scot pro. al would
have backed him against any golfer in
the world, amateur or pro, at getting
down in from forty yards away.
With the tip of that right thumb down
the shaft ne seemed to have the most
delicate touch in the world. II made
no difference 70 him whether he was on
the green or not, He had just enough
pinch or drag TO the ball to hold IL in
the right line. / believe he has won as
many matches with this shot as he has
with his putter."

Certainly no golfer living has found
as many uses for putter as the vet
eran has found. When he first went to
Pnehurst WITH a fat approach and
sand greens, Walter J. astonished the
onlooker5 by frequently using his put
ter from fifty and sixty yards away,
going down in one putt thereafter with
such frequency that a swarm Of golfers
soon followed in his wake.
IL was in Florida that Travis first
startled the crowd by using his putter
out of bunkers. With the ball lying
well in a trap not too sbysmal in it's
depth. the Garden City star began TO
run his puts from the sanded troughs
and pits to within three and four feet
Of the pin, while others were jousting
away with niblicks, hoping to get
within ten feet Of the cup.

The golfer who has control of this
shot off the green Is well on his way
to success. And to have full control he
should be able TO use putter, mashie or
jigger as the conditions suggest, for
there are times when the shot is much
easier with one club than with another.
and the one who isn't bound to any one
style or any one club will have big
advantage.

There Is one shot in golf Of which
you hear very little, and yet for general
usefulness it has no superior as
score reducer, the same being the main
purpose of every shot in the game.
A short while ago in a certain tourna-
ment we were playing back Of golfer
who wasn't driving any too we'll and
who wasn't overly brilliant on his long
iron or mashie work through the green.
But at the finish he returned an "a.

shot working right, but it carried me
through. That was the chip shot off
the green. / holed a couple and put
the others anywhere from four inches

The Score Reducer
The golfer who has this shot working
from within five to thirty yards OF the
green's edge is hard man TO beat. IL
is a shot that requires the keenest pos
sible touch and fine Judgment shot
that must be properly hit, for unless 1t
is put within few feet IL is of no
value whatsoever And to make it more
interesting, there are at least four ways
10 gee results-with a putter. with a
mashie, with a jigger. with a midiron
depending upon the amount Of loft de-
sired.
