Poly Prep Boys
Score an Easy
Cridiron Victory
Defeat Commercial High in
Annual Game by
28-6 Score e

The Poly Prep eleven smashed its
way 70 victory over the Commsreiai
Hirh School eleven in their annual
game played on the lstter's hsld IN
Brooklyn yesterday by . score OF 20
to 6. Commercial put up sturdy
front against the heavier plunging
Poly backs, who gained consistently
through the line. Forward passing
was resorted to frequently, with Poly
executing the more successful passes.
Schiebler, the Poly left halfbsek,
proved the sll-around star Of his team.
He found holes in the line for sub
s.antial gains and brought down many
a Commercial taekler. Downing earned
the greater share Of the glory for
Commercial by his fine sll-around
work.
Commercial succeeded IN holding its
opponents to one touchdown during
the first two quarters, this score COM
ing in the second period. Resorting
to straight football, Poly rushed the
bail down the field, and was soon on
the s-yard line. rrvm here Pinner
went through tackle for q touchdown.
The Commercial players were unable
TO meet the rushing attack OF their
rivals in the second half and we're
swept of their feet for successive first
downs. Pinner scored again on line
plunge, and Dickson, who had been
substituted for McNally, counted soon
after for Commercial on trick play.
Schiebler's ability as a player was
illustrated in the fourth quarter. AZ
ter Jelliffe and Blundell had made big
gains around the ends Schisbler shot
through the line for his second touch
down.

Colgate Smashes
Cornell Defence

ITHACA. y. Y. Oct. 2O.-CornelPs
defence went all to pieces against the
great backfeld Of the Colgate football
machine on Schoellkopf Field this af-
ternoon. and when Hubbell. Gillo and
Srencer had stopped ripping holes in
the Red and white forward bulwarks
the score was 20 TO o, with Cornell
scoreless for the first time since games
were started on the rev athletic field.
From the very first play, when HUB
he'll took the kickoff and raced nifty
yards to Cornell's 25-yard line, the su-
ueriority of Colgate's offensive work
was never doubted. Though Cornell
held for downs in the danger zone fol-
lowing Hubbeils run, poor punt by
Hoffman gave the Maroon its chance.
After Clio and Spencer had pounded
the Red and White line nobly, Hubbell
was given the ball 20 take over from
the G-vard line. Wooster missed goal.
Toward the end OF the first period
this same backheld trio took the ball
70 Cornell's 5-yard line, where a for
ward pass failed. Hoffman again punted
into the wind 10 the 35-yard line. Spen-
Ger went through Hartman for ten
yards and Clio did the same on the
other side Though the end of the
period gave Cornell breathing spell,
it was hope deferred. Gillo pounded
over the final mark from the 6-yard
line a minute after play was resumed.
Wooster had a chance to kick place
ment, but failed in the third period.
Van Horns defensive work against Nc
Brides passes kept the Cornell goa!
safe. Colgates other score came in the
fourth period when Hubbell got a
thirty-yard run, followed by Gillo's
plunge, which finally took the pigskin
over and made the final score 20 to 0.

Erasmus Hall
Beats Freshies

Erasmus Hall High School easily de-
feated the New York University fresh
men eleven Immediately previous to the
Wesleyan-N. Y. L. game on Ohio Field.
The Erasmians had il their own way
from the first kickoff, and ended with
the score standing at 30 to 8 in their
favor.
There was a noticeable contrast be-
tween the playing Of the two teams:
Erasmus worked as a unit and crashed
through the line or ran around ends
at will for big gains. Always they
had perfect interference, and showed
especial knowledge in the fundamen-
tails Of football, such as taking out men
and tackling. The Violet freshmen
were practically without these neces-
sary qualities. Their teamwork was
nil and headwork still worse.
Nevertheless, in a squirt OF real foot
ball knowledge, the freshmen made
short brace. which lasted long enough
for Saunders to intercept pretty for
ward pass in midfeld and run through
the whole Erasmus backheld for
touchdown. Hunters kick for the goal
went wide.

Amateurs and Pros.
Few amateurs class with the leading
pros. Yet the best amateurs undouot-
edly do. Travers proved that when ne
finished 3 up on Gil Nichols, up on
Walter Hagen and only down TO Jock
Hutchinson IN the Red cross tourha-
ment of late July.
Evans certainly would be an even
match for any golfer in the country.
As for Ouimet. his play against Mike
Brady. among other things, gave proof
of his excellence. In one match he was
8 down to Brady and only l6 to play
Yet he squared the match. Later on
he won from Brady with ease, and Mike
is no soft mark.
Il would be a wonderful affair to
have a competition with Hutchinson,
Barnes and Hagen on one side put up
against Evans, 0uimet and Travers on
the other.
As between Evans and Ouimet, 1t is
announced that they are to meet At an
early date Both belong with the brill
iants. Shot for shot, they are $3.50
from the tee to the green. Ouimet Is
a better putter-a always steady put
ter-and very often one Of the most
sensational of all performers on the
green.
Later On
The test between the Pros and ANA
teurs can only be settled later on when
the war is over. II must be remem-
bered that amateur talent has won
three of the last four open champion
ships here, and that an amateur came
within a stroke OF tieing the other
start.
The Pros still maintain that Jock
Hutchinson and Jim Barnes could over
throw any two amateurs in America
Amateur camp followers maintain
otherwise. The debate can hardly be
settled until competitive tournament
play is resumed.

an this summers tournament,
writes Observer, "the Homebreds beat
the English, Scotch and Amateurs bad
ly. | am for the Homebreds. But as a
matter of justice, if you had to select
the three best golfers in America,
would any of the three come from the
Homebred lineup"
IL we had to name the two best pro-
fessional golfers in America for all
around steadiness, efficiency and abil-
ity to win, our choice would be Jock
Hutchinson, of the Scotch array. and
Jim Barnes, of the English lineup.
Hutchinson and Barnes top the pro-
fessional field beyond any debate.
They have proved that--not only this
season. but even through a year back.
Jock and Jim
Jock and Jim are the two big win
ners of the last two years. Last sea
son Jock led the Pros in the Open, tin-
ishing d stride back Of Chick Evans
Il was Jock who came TO the final with
Barnes in the professional champion
ship.
This season the same pair again led
the parade. II was Hutchinson who
won the national patriotic tournament
at Whtemarsh, among other achieve
ments this year Later on 1t was
Barnes who won the Western open.
Jock and Jim, representing Scotland
and England, are out in front OF the
professional fold beyond q doubt. They
have been more consistent winners than
even such leading Homebreds as Walter
Hagen, Mike Brady and Tommy Nc
Namara.
Neither is any more sensational than
Gil Nichols. Bus the slashing Gil lacks
the steadiness and poise Of the two
leading stars.
Against Amateurs
How. we have been asked, would
Hutchinson and Barnes fare against
Chick Evans and Jerry Travers among
the amateurs-or again Francis Ouimet
in that twilight zone between the two
planes?
This is an argument which might
carry endless debate. Evans ia open
champion, as well as amateur leader
He finished only one stroke out in 1914

isn't below either man. Travers hasn',
