GOLFERS AIDING MEN
 IN THE SERVICE.
Many Members of Clubs Are Saving Their Sticks for Men in Camps.


 What is the golfer at home doing for the golfer in service? Since the men ID khaki left these parts for southern camps they have had little time to think of aught but work, but for all that certain number of leisure hours each week are necessary for mind as well as body. Many of the men in the camps are golfers, and surely if given ha If a chance they would jump at the opportunity for an occasional round of the links.
 Not long ago the members of the Knollwood Country club started to set aside drivers. brassies, mashies and putters they did not need, the idea be- ing to have them sent to the soldiers, where they would be likely to do the most good. Thus far quite a little has been turned over to the steward, and once the members go at the thing in a serious way great deal will surely be gathered.
 As Christmas time is approaching, the stay at homes in other clubs might do worse than contribute in a similar manner for the benefit of those who will be located in the south practically all winter. Wherever there is a golfer with day off and no chance of being able to get home he will want to hit the bail about. We'll known courses are scattered all through the south and there is little doubt but that links courtesies will be willingly extended blythe clubs.
 In the event of camp being miles away from a course and unhandy to reach. the soldiers could lay out make shift circuits of their own. In France tine men have been doing this for some time and they. derive a lot of relaxation on the battle scared areas in trying to get the ball into, a hole in the ground. It's only a suggestion of the real game, but even that is better than nothing.
 While on the subject of golfers in service why couldn't each and every club send a Christmas box to it's members. whether they are at the front or in camps? It would not necessarily have to contain much. principally to- bacco and sweets of some sort. but it would certainly make the golfer feel that someone back home was thinking g of him.

INDIVIDUAL POWER
 NECESSARY IN FOOTBALL
By Sol Metzser, Coach Washington &
 Jefferson Football Team.

Football is much the same game in all sections of the country. There is but little difference in systems and methods of play. The east has been represented by more good teams than tie south or the west simply because the students of the larger institutions in this section have had. a more thor cugh training in the rudiments of the
 -.me in preparatory schools than the
 CTS in other sections of the coun-
 It has also been possible for them
 U see more big games and, by ob servation, learn the best ways of do- i,le. the various duties required of a i,.a.*er.
 western football has always been of a high type. The two factors which have prevented western elevens from vals have been the lack of experienced material to draw from and the con- ference rule preventing preliminary training. I am told that one of the reasons for the success of Minnesota i'll football is the situation of this great state university. It draws it's students from hardy outdoor people noted for their splendid physique and who, in the nature of things. take to football like the proverbial duck to water Chicago, on the other hand, draws from another type and it's foot ball teams, as a rule, while not as big as those of Minnesota, are made up of students who have had the advan- tage of more preparatory football training.
 In the. Pacific district preparatory football has not been a contributing factor like in the east. The action of the California colleges in 1905 in abandoning American football for Rugby has long prevented the Amer ican game from reaching a high point Of development on the coast Now that the American game has come in to it's own the Pacific collegesHif not already, judging by their matches with Brown. Pennsylvania and Syra- cuse within the past few years-are on the rapid road to excellence. For one thing they have that most neces- sary- factor of success-materiai The college man of California.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 13.-"Cupid" Blacks powerful football eleven fr0Nl the first naval district at Newport will meet the first naval districts team from the Boston Navy yard in the Harvard Stadium on December 8. it was announced tonight. The Newport team has been called an 'aIl-America" combination with it's lineup of college gridiron stars, while the Boston eleven coached by Leo Leary, former field coach at Harvard, also has an al1-star backf1eld and some famous college linemen. Previous efforts to bring the two teams together had failed be- cause of conflicting schedules but the players were so anxious for the clash that they decided to take chance on the weather and settle service rival rfes in December.

Due to Rise.

A Chicago writer, noting the success Of Speed Martin since he Joined the Oaks. speculates on what a winner he might have been with the White Sox and says Speed is kicking himself for not accepting the contract Comiskey offered him. But Speed is not ex- pressing any regrets. The only thing he really is sore about is that Fielder Jones, manager of the St. Louis Browns. wouldn't give him a chance to show that he can go the pace. He should worry. He has pitched wonder ful ball since his return to Oakland and it won't be long before some ma jor league manager is wise enough to recognize his merit and offer him a real big league contract.

1t Is an exceedingly unfortunate day
for anything that concerns romance
or love affairs. Weddings and engage
ments have the omen Of brief exist
ence.
New acquaintances made under this
rule are not likely to be worth while
as the planets are believed to en-
courage insincerity and deception.
This Is not q lucky day for business
affairs in which women are concerned.
as 1t Is held to cause change Of mind,
broken contracts and disappointment
There Is a sign warning women of
every age against indulging in fool
ish emotion or sentimentality. Before
midsummer they will realize the me-
cessity Of acquiring self-control and
fortitude.
