Columbia University's football team
played host to the eleven from the
United States battleship Arkansas at
South Field yesterday afternoon.
The teams met in a long, hard scrim-
mage, which amounted to game, and
each side scored one touchdown. The
sailors crossed the line after Nelson
Metcalf, the Columbia coach, gave
them the bail on the 5-yard line AID
allowed them four downs TO score.
The bluejackets used only two plunSes
to force the leather the required dis
lance. Then they were allowed 20
take the ball on The lO-yard line, but
four plunges nctted them only eight
yards, and Columbia took the ball.
II was lust the sort Of work hat
Columbia needed. The sailors were
big, husky youths, with II world OF
power and the enthusiasm to make
the power count They were lacking
in the technique Of the game, but
fought hard all the time. The Column
bia line men held their own at all
times and tore openings for their
bdChS 10 IluUEt lbi gains W. lvib
after the start OF the game the Blue
and White marched down the field and
scored.
J. Rosen was in at quarterback. l.
Rosen and Brown played the halfbacks
and ZychlinsN was in at fullback. The
combination was fairly efficient. The
boys started pretty well, ran low aud
hard, picked Off their men, and chose
their openings skilfully. l. Rosen
finally took the ball over for a touch
down on a buck Off left tackle from
the 4-yard line. He was shielded per
fectly by his interference, and 'he
linesman broke through TO clear out
the secondaries in fine style.
Captain lIcaley, left tackle; Gold.

Donaldson, Dunn, j. Rosen and Brown

PENN FOOTBALL
VARSITY BATTERS
A STRONG SCRUB
Sanford's Multiple Kick" Fails
to Work with Much
Success

Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.-Pennsylvs-
MAS varsity eleven battered the
scrub in hard scyimmage this after
noon, the last hard workout before
the game with Penn State on Satur-
day. The scrub used the Penn State
plays.
One of George Foster Sanford's
plays did not go very well. That was
the multiple kick" which, if worked
successfully, gets more distance than
2 punt or place kick, but the risk IS
too great, and in the drill to-day this
fact was brought out clearly.
CASTOR has a strong scrub team, and
these "irregulars" offered stubborn re-
distance to the 'varsitys attack, but
before the forty minute scrimmage
was over the regulars went over the
line many times for points.
The varsity looked much better in
to-day's scrimmage, the line holding
like a stone wall and the secondary
defence mailing every man that man
aged TO escape the first line.
Captain Mathews, Little, Neil
Urquhart and Williams were excused
early. These five are in fine condi-
ton, and Folwell does not believe that
they would benefit much from a hard
scrimmage, and at the same time he
would be taking a chance Of Gripping
one of these stars. Berry was at full
back, with Light at quarter and Will
Iams and Derr at halfback.

TWO DARTMOUTH STARS
HURT IN SCRIMMAGE

Hanover, n. H., Oct. 1S.-Wholesale
injuries marked this afternoons prac-
tice of the Dartmouth football squad,
which was behind closed gates, in prep
aration for the first hard game of the
season with Georgetown Saturday at
Haverhill, Mass. Two regulars and two
first string substitutes retired from the
secret practice with injuries likely to
keep them out of not only the George
town but possibly the Princeton con-
test the following week.
Thielscher, veteran halfback, was the
first TO get out, giving way to Ponder
because of severe muscle bruises. Mer-
rill, veteran left guard for two seasons,
next pulled a tendon in his right leg,
and Trainer Harry Hillman pronounced
him out Of the game for over a week.
K. Holbrook, understanding Duhamel
at fullback, received a serious crack in
the knee that eliminates him for sim
liar period, and his substitute, Steve
Lehman, wrenched his back before the
final whistle showed the first team two
touchdowns TO the good.

Better Golf Shows
But Little Advance

the Apawamis tournament there we're
about 1870 entries. The qualifying
round here was at thirty-six holes, ana
one needed 164 to make the first SIX
teen. ,oo
This last June there were about l3O
entries for the same tournament over
the same course, with about the same
field on hand. Yet in 1916 one only
needed 1853 to make the first sixteen
four strokes higher than three years
ago.
This certainly would show no great
METROPOLITAN development among the
leading players. There have been sew
eral good young golfers who have come
forward in the last four or five years
but none of these has been consistent
enough to take the places vacated by
Walter ]. Travis and Jerry Travers,
who played no tournament golf TINS
season. -,
This would prove that while any
number have cut their games down
from 120 to 100, or from 100 to 80, OF
from 90 TO IS, very, very few nlaylhg
from 78 TO SO have improved at all. II
is harder, Of course, to cut away
strokes after one has dropped belo"
SO or so. But it is surprising now many
golfers there are who are capable o.
cutting their scores down to 80 or 81
and yet who rarely descend below TINS
mark.
One Difference
A day or two ago we saw two go1ers
start out upon a round. one was d
first class professional. The other was
a citizen who was quite thankful 10

for the average player in watcnlhg

laxed. The other had waited until MS
muscular and nervous systems were

1t is q queer thing that most poor
golfers can't understand how TINS long

hall ties their entire muscular ana

thew might improve their game II they
would simply step up and take belt at

Second Team Puts Up
Stiff Fight-Scrub
Proves Easy

Princeton, n. j., Oct. ls.-Lafayette
has not a particularly strong team
this year, but Speedy Rush is driving
the Tigers as though Saturdays con-
test would decide the seasons cham
pionship. This will undoubtedly be
one Of the hardest weeks of practice
this fall. With Dartmouth coming
down a week from Saturday it is not
likely that the scrimmage will be so
severe next week.
The second team was worthy
opponent for the varsity this after
noon, especially within the twenty
yard line, where the seconds frightened
up and resisted all efforts TO force a
touchdown through the line. a short
forward pass, Eddy to Highley
finally turned the trick. With a
strong backfield, composed of Ames,
Comey, Eberstadt and Thomas. the
second team was able to make head
way in midfeld. but was unable TO
penetrate varsity territory.

Varsity Crushes Freshies, De-

full Attack

Syracuse, n. Y, Oct. 1s.-Ptted
against the freshmen in Commute
5crimmage, Coach Bill Hollcnback's
burly Orange machine developed a
powerful offence in the Stadium yester-
day afternoon.
Hollenback equipped the first year
aggregation with formations likely to
be used against the Orange by Pitts
burgh in the battle Saturday, but the
regulars tore through the line and
skirted the ends with a speed and dash
that left the youngsters gasping. Hol-
lenback tried out the varsity defence,
too.
Placing the ball on the 5-yard line in
possession of the freshmen, he told the
youngsters to shove it across the line.
The yearlings found the task too diff
cult to accomplish. The varsity line,
composed of Captain White and
Schlachter at guards, Trigg and Cobb
at tackles, Ounce and Witter at ends
and Gilmore at centre, not only held
the first year men in check, but actu-
ally showed them back several yards.

AMERICAN STARS
TO SEEK TENNIS
TITLE AT MANILA
By FRED HAWTHORNE.

1t was announced last night that
George Myers Church and Harold A..
Throckmorton, both Of New Jersey,
would compete for the lawn tennis
championship of the Orient on the
courts of the Manila Tennis Club, at
Manila, Philippine Islands. next Jan
uary. Church and Throckmorton will
leave this city about No'ember % for
the Coast, and will take passage on
the Empress Of Russia from Vancou-
yer, B. c., on November 80, for the
long journey across the Pacific.
This will be the first time in the
history Of the Far Eastern champion
ships that players from the East have
competed for the title now held by
Ichiya Kumagae, of Japan. William
NJ Johnston, former national cham
pion, and Clarence J. Griffin, his
doubles partner and Ella Fottrell. all
of California, have been seen on the
Philippine courts in previous years,
but II is understood they will not make
the trip this time.
Remembering the swath cut by the
swarthy little Kumagae in the United
States this year, there is bound to be
great interest in the possible meeting
of the japanese and Church next jan
uary, or 1t may be that Ihrockmorton
will face the conqueror Of Johnston.
Church met Kumagae only once IN
tournament play, and then IN the sec
ond round Of the national champion
shin at Forest Hills, Long Island. when
he sent the little man from the orient
down 70 defeat by a score OF 81
6-3, 81. But Kumagae was Tar from
his best on that occasion, and did not
display the same impetuous ATTACK
that enabled him TO conquer Johnston
at Newport two weeks before.
Tbrockmorton has never had the
dou,ttul pleasure of humping into the
Oriental champion on the courts. but

After the punting practice long

the team from quarter, and the plays
were worked speedily, the interference
forming compactly for the oh-tacAle

The scrimmage developed the best
line plunging seen on The Bronx grid

tive charging by the forwards, the

offensive strength of the team was not

WILCOX STARS
AS THE CRIMSON
BATTLES SCRUB
First Team Scores Three Touch
downs-Blagden Aids in
Coaching.

Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 1S.-There
was no let-up for the Harvard football
players to-day, although they did not
have to work so long as they did yes
terday. The drill for the regulars and
substitutes again was against the
scrubs, three touchdowns being scored
by the regulars. No forward passes
were used, and save for few pretty
end gains by Wilcox, the quarter
miller, the drive was through the line.
The Crimson rushers worked better
together than at any time this fall.
Haughton has been energetic with his
own brand OF coaching this week, and
results are beginning TO come.
The head coach was assisted by Har-
Yards veteran tackle for the 1901 team,
Crawford Blagden, who makes several
visits to Cambridge each year after
the line material has been pretty much
sifted Blagden's forte is getting the
men to force the play into the other
fellows territory, and this is what the
team surely needs.
Willcox's running was quite the
feature of the afternoons work. He
always had speed, but is improving in
his lodging and is fast getting to be
hard man 70 stop. The three touch
downs were made by Horween, Burn
ham and Horne at the end of some
steady line gains, although Willcox's
runs twice put the varsity within scor-
ing distance.
Wheeler and Day remained at left
tackle and right guard respectively.
The former is doing so well that, with
Davis and the prospects for the early
return of Sweetzer and Taylor, the
coaches are now working Batchelder at

first set of backs to-day, did some Of

Qualifying Scores Remain
Practically Same as
Five Years Ago
By GRANTLAND RICE

The general standard OF golf' among
tbe vast army of buffers and divotees
with the accent off the tees-has un-
doubtedly advanced more than few
brief PAGES in the last five years. But
so far as the leaders go in this coun-
try-say the first two hundred, there
has been no advance at all that is even
sparsely visible TO the naked orb.
IL one doubts this statement one mas
only 70 look at the qualifying scores OF
The last five years to see how unmarked
tbe change has been among the better
plavers. Take the qualifying hgures
since 1912, that is, the score that one
needed TO land among the leading 81;
Chicago Golf, 19l2-l6S.
Garden City, 1876.
Ekwanok. 19l4-162.
Detroit, 1876.
Merton, 19l6-167.
Weather conditions and the varying
hardness of certain courses have some
thing TO do with the scoring, more
than a little. but after all the figures
shown above prove that no great
change has come over the better golf
of the country within five years.
There was higher scoring at Merton
than anywhere else, but TINS may nav ave
been due to the double course system
used, although we believe l6f would
have qualified if only the championship
course had been employed as the sole
test. For the first nine holes at merton
were the hardest test any golfer In a
championship has been called upon 70
face.
Another Example
One would figure otf-hand that with
$50 of the best golfers in America
gathered for one tournament IheIs
would at least be thirty-two capable OF
returning two SOS for 100 over thirty,
six holes. But we have not yet reached
that standard, largely because there
has been no great advance among the
first $50. Here and there young stars
have come in, but as these entered
such veteran stars as Travis, Travers'
Warren Wood and others dropped out,
leaving the average about where 1t has
been for FIVE seasons. ,o,o
Here is another example In 1913 at
