that Meyer called him a German.

Hollenback talks as a headmaster ex-
planning a problem. The smallest detail
is not too small for time. Thorough
ness is his slogan.
The matter of weight Is problem
that probably will worry the coaches
throughout the football season. From
tackle TO tackle, Penn may average a
few pounds less than last year, but the
difference will not be alarming with
the ends counted there will be a greater
margin. McNichol and Mitchell are
about twenty pounds lighter than Heine
Miller and Joe Van Ginltle. the pair that
took care of the wings last season.
There Is grave difference in the
weight of the center this year and last
Tilly Walker. the present snapperbaclS,
tips the scales at only 1919 pounds (;
Alex Wray weighed approximately 1877.
Twenty pounds in the center of the line
is heap. especially under the Penn de-
fensc system of a rowing center
Walker May Play End
Walker is an exceptionally good man
for his weight. He's a flash on his feet
and can outrun any man on the eleven.
He will do well for the early games
against minor colleges, but lined up
against Pitt he will have terrific battle
to hold his own. 1t has been suggested
that Walker be turned into an end and
one Of the heavier men. Ellison, for one
or Farmakis. when he returns, be tried
at the snapperback post.
Neylon and Wolfe are playing the
guards now, but Billy Moore will break
up the combination when he gets his
scholastic course Strengthened out. Sup
plee and wilmington look like fixtures
as tackles.
The backfeld, consisting of Rosneau.
Straus, Kraus and Braun. with Straus
calling the plays. will remain intact until
Bunny Lerch returns, and then Kraus
will lose his job in all probability. With
this combination Shorty Braun will do
the punting.

Jack Ingliss Great Record
When Jack Inglis fell "a victim to the
''fu" at his home in Troy one of the
greatest cage players of all time passed
away. When it comes to playing on
championship teams he held a worlds
record and in only one season out of
eight did his club fail to win the cham
pionship. Inglis was the best all-round
man In the game and was adept either
forward. center or guard. He was a
bear for hard work and never missed
more than one game in an entire sea-
son. His services were widely sought
hut no matter what inducements were
offered he stuck by his old pal, Lew
Wachter.

De Neri four years ago. but he failed
to show up. For several seasons b. c.

ton and on one occasion he did play
about eight minutes. For five cam
paigns lnglis was a member of the Troy
five, of the New York State and Hud-
son River League, and this club won
the pennant four out of five times The
only occasion they were beaten was in
the season of 191S-191i. and by a single

Field of Twenty-Five Minis
ters VIII Compete in
Eighteen-Hole Handicap
for american Red Cross
DR.. WEBB IN CHARGE
By WILLIAM II. EVANS

/ AIORTH HILLS has fostered more
A> unique tournaments than any other
Philadelphia golf club. One OF the first
was tournament for left handed play
ers. Another was an affinity tourna- =
mcnt, which later was, displaced by a
husband and wife tourney. Still another
was a turkey match.
On Monday the club will hold a tour
namcnt which will be restricted TO
clergymen, and any minister or priest
who belongs to a club affiliated with the
Golf Association of Philadelphia will be
eligible to enter. The Rev Dr. Aquilla
Webb is handling the tournament for
the club, and any clergyman who has
net been called on the phone and invited
to enter should call Doctor Webb, whose
telephone number is Poplar PASS.
Ideal Day for Tourney
Ordinarily the various ministerial as
sociations meet every Monday morning,
but owing to the influenza epidemic these
meetings will not be held. and as Mon
day from time immemorial is a holiday
for clergymen, the date selected il one
that will suit every member of the
cloth.
The tournament viii be for the Amer
lean Red Cross, and will be an eighteen
hole handicap affair, and the entrants
may play either morning or afternoon.
Doctor Webb says there ase between
twenty-five and thirty clerical golfers
in the city, and he hopes to get all of
them to enter. Some of those who have
already entered are the Rev Dr. j. Gray
Bolton, who was one of the heroes of the
recent national seniors tournament at
hA A lie snlf slNth nd hn
Herbert Bridges. Richard Jones, w.
Beatty Jennings, Carter Helm Jones and
Doctor Webb.
The new greens at North Hills are
now in excellent condition and the course
is in excellent shape for the ,tourna-
ment. There Is no doubt that it will be
an annual event.
Riverton Tourney in Doubt
The Riverton County Club. which gave
an invitation tournament over its new
course last year. Is undecided whether
to hold the event this year. 1t was an
eighteen hole event. and the field was
one of the largest of the year. The
new course, which was laid out by Dom
old Ross, Is admittedly one of the best
in the Philadelphia district, and the
twC-shot holes are without question
among the best holes laid out in this
country.
Wilfred Reid, the professional at the
Wilmington Country Club, advocates the
elimination of all three-shCt holes. He
says there is scarcely a three-shot hole
in the country that cannot be reached
with one poor shot. In other words. II
the player misses either the tee or sec-
ond shot, he can reach the green on his
third shot.
At Riverton on any two-shot hole II
! is physically impossible to get a pool
drive and get home on the second shot
The one-shot holes there are also ex'
ceIlent, and il is to be hoped that River
ton again gives the golfers of this city
the opportunity of playing once mCr'
over its splendid course.
