CaIifornians Expect Him to
Assume Leadership in
Coming Season

George Schroth, the seventeen-year-
mento, is now looked upon by Califor-
mans as Americas coming waterman,
and they expect him 70 assume ma
tional leadership this very season. Their
belief Is based on the lads brilliant
recent performances against Norman
Ross, the San Francisco world record
list, whom he has pressed hard in sew
eral races, and on his wonderful I'M
provement since year ago. Nor can
IL be denied that at the rate Schroth
has been developing il will take but
short time for him to attain interna-
tional rank. Already he has done So 2-5
seconds for the century, 2 minutes u
seconds for the furlong and 6 minutes
20 seconds for 500 yards, all In forty
yard pools, besides winning three and
five marathons in open water. Such
remarkable all around ability places
him among the foremost candidates for
worlds laurels.
IL is noteworthy feature Of
Schroth's success that he has never
been coached. He picked up the single
trLdgeon crawl by watching others
swim it, and he now displays 1t in
enviable form, adapting it to six
beat leg action for sprinting and to a
four-beat for distances beyond the fur
long.
The watermen Of the City College Of
New York should this year make a bet
ter showing than they ever have in
varsity competition. Edward Karsten.
captain Of the swimmers, has enlisted
in the Naval Reserve and will be IN
able TO pay much attention to sport,
but his duties will be ably performed
by Ernest Baehr, who has been ap-
pointed acting captain. Among the
available contestants are the sprinters
Hades, Broones, Schroeder, Grasheim,
Schoenberg; the middle distancers
Meyer and Broones; the plungers Auer-
bach and Thor; the divers Wells and
Barris. The water polo sextet will be
led by Garste 'eld, last years star
goal tender, and in line for the other
positions are Hoginauer. Suda, Auer-
bach, Meyer, Jicka and Ol.arsch.
The swimming school for women,
conducted in Des Moines, Idaho, by
Miss Clara Ward, is beginning TO turn
out mermaids likely to make their
mark In the open field Of competition
Three in particular-Miss Anna Pierce
Mrs. John L. Cross and Miss Addison
page-are doing work In the middle
distances which predicts great things
for them.
Yale will have to depend almost en-
tirely on new material for its varsity
swim ming team this season. or last
years champion squad there are on
hand only Mayer, now captain; Kinks,
Meagher, Alexander, Badger and
Adams. A number OF promising re-
cruits have reported, however. and
prospects are quite fair lnterclsss
meets will be held shortly and they
will serve TO bring out the likely can
didates.

Michigan Team
Has Easy Time
With Nebraskans

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 27.-Michi-
gan's green but powerful, football
eleven sprang surprise here TINS
afternoon by defeating the Nebraska
University eleven 20 to 0. At no time
after the srst period did the visitors
have a chance, and poor generalship
and glaring fumbles cost the Wolver-
ines two or three touchdowns.
The game was played in a steady
rain. The grdiron had been soaked by
previous downpours and was very
heavy. In the first quarter Nebraska
showed superior ground gaining ability
and worked the ball to within striking
distance of Michigan's goal. Then
Froemke, Of Michigan, recovered Ne
braska tumble and sprinted more than
eighty yards for touchdown. Wei
mann kicked goal.
Michigan showed better offence in
the second period, and Weimann finally
crashed through for a touchdown.
Again he kicked goal. Weimann was
the star in the last half, also, getting
field coal in each of the periods.

In order that the breed may be kss,

any Of the dogs, but he has given 4
number of dogs TO his friends, VII.
the strict injunction that they msr
not make any sales nor attempt Il
cross the Labradors with any Oths,

One of the most prominent students
Of the dogs afeld to possess w Labrs.
doris is Lord Lopsdale, and he nevg
goes out on a fowling trip but he IS
accom- panied by the dogs. Time sni
time again both Lord LOnsdale and
Captain Radcliffe have been begged q
exhibit a few Of the unique dogs. b..
they have always fstly refused. III
the theory of the breeder that bend
showing has a tendency 20 spoil u.
true characteristics OF the retriever
First and most important Of all Is he
idea that the coat OF the dog would b
made smooth and fine IL exhibited, ard
these faults would be a great drawback
to the yellow dogs.
The coat OF the new breed Is LONGS
and coarser than the bac kor godes
Labrador, while beneath the oass:
growth is a dense yet very short under.
growth which almost resembles wool
in it's texture. This woolly undereoa,
protects the skin in the cold weather,
and after the dog takes a plunge ],
the water it does not retain the moist

a retrieve he jumps around and Is eois
dry in a few minutes. Perhaps u
owing to this reason and the fact "a!
the Labrador has a lighter cost 70

Of it is due to a faulty process Of thought.

The Star

As one argument or one debate leads
to another, unless a barricade is
erected, the point soon came up as to
who might be labelled the greatest
golfer. amateur or pro, ever developed
in America.
The list is a long one-Chick Evans,
Jerry Travers, Francis 0uimet, Walter
Hagen, Tommy Mcnamara, Mike Brady,
Bob Gardner, etc.
But none of these names. in the final
verdict, won first place. The bulk Of
the votes went TO John J. McDermott.
And we believe the verdict was prop
1rly returned. II McDermott hadn't
come upon the misfortune which sent
him 20 retirement there is no telling
how high he might have ranked by now.
As IL was he won the open champion
ship in 1911 and 1912. In 1913 he
went 20 Shawnee and competed against
one of the greatest fields of the year
q field that embraced such names as
Harry Vardon, Ted Ray, Gil Nichols.
Alex Smith and others. Yet in a 70
hole dash he beat Vardon by thirteen
strokes and led Ray by margin even
greater.
