The future of football rests solely
with the college authorities now. 1t
has been established after two
weeks of uncertainty during which
collegiate football conditions were
at skies and sevens that the military
authorities- will not interfere with
the sport unless 1t proves q menace
to training for the army or navy.
The college elevens- throughout the
country from now on will have just
as much Of an opportunity for de-
velopment and to play games as the
Army and Navy have had for years.
Curtailment of time for practice
and prohibition Of trips for games
have not impaired the standard of
play at either West Point or An
napolis, and by the same token, SINH
lar restrictions should not hurt the
sport at the various American col
leges that now come under military
Jurisdiction. It rests almost entire
ly with the college authorities now
whether their Institutions are to be
represented on the gridiron and
other fields of play. 1t is assured
that the military authorities do not
intend to prohibit games among col
lege outfits; rather. 1t intends to en-
courage them. Also there is ade-
quate time for the development of
teams and playing of games on a
moderate basis.
Therefore. while October may see
much confusion in the collegiate
ranks, coaches and managers of the
elevens may be hard pressed in the
development of their teams and in
arranging contests, there is every
reason to believe that with the ad-
vent of November football in the
colleges will have come back with
a rush.
Georgia Tech. unbeaten for three
years on the gridiron. is back this
autumn with another eleven that
promises to keep its slate clean.
Patriotic fervor. which swept through
the colleges. took from the campus
and sent into the ranks of the army
and navy nine of the eleven regulars

COMMERCE TENNIS
TEAM WINS TITLE

With the ending Of the Department
tai League season last week, local
tennis is practically a thing of the
past except for informal matches.
Commerce, the winners, had a rather
unusual experience of winning the
trophy yet not getting a chance to
compete with the other leagues in
the elimination series to decide
which local team would represent
Washington in the intercity matches
with Baltimore.
At the time the intercity matches
were held 1t was decided that the
teams then leading the leagues whose
schedules had not been completed
would represent their respective cir
cults in the elimination matches. In
terror and Treasury were tied for
top honors at the time and these two
met; Treasury won and then repre-
sented the Departmental League in
the matches. Commerce has been
going strong for the past month or
so and by q series OF consecutive VIC
tories copped the pennant.

FALL GOLF CLASSIC
WILL NOT BE HELD

Columbia Country Club has def
nitely decided to call off its annual
fall golf classic. usually held about
this time each year The Columbia
club is simply following out the pre-
cedent set by practically all other
clubs in the country in not sta gfng
tournaments for the duration Of the
war.
As matter Of fact, the holding Of
the event would hardly be in order
at this time as practically all Of the
better players are now connected
with either the army or the navy,
while the few that are left are too
busy to play.
For instance, the two monthly
events for August-the regular hendi-
cap one and that for the Let's" CUP
have not yet been completed, so
little interest is being shown by the
followers Of the royal and ancient"
game.
1t was on this account. and also in
order that the event would not be
"set-up" for ore or two players. that
II was decided to call it OF for this
year.

LUCK MAKING
OF BEST JOCKS
Numerous Instances IN
Which Premier Rider;
Owe Regulations to
Chance.

When any individual is heard loudly
asserting that there is no such thing
as luck it is safe to put that person
down as one who does not follow the
turf in any Of its many angles. Aside
from the betting angle the leading
jockeys Of American race history af-
ford ample evidence Of the part that
luck plays in the game.
The case of the wonderful appren-
uce rider, Earl Sande, is one that
answers the question of luck as well
as any. Sande broke into the lime
light in a sensational manner at the
winters New Orleans meet.
His case looks as though good
jockeys are born and not made.
Sande came to New Orleans last win
ter from his home in Idaho The pre-
vious year he had been exercising
horses on the Western tracks, so he
had some experience in riding. He
sought without success. The lad could
not secure a job any place when he
ran into a groom he had known in
the West. The groom took the boy
to Joe Goodman. told him that he be-
lieyed he would make a good boy and
Goodman put him to work exercising
horses. The boy soon impressed
Goodman by the free and easy man.
ner in which he handled horses, and
Goodman signed him to a contract
Not long after Goodman entered
Lfberator in a race and put Sande up.
The lad was unknown and inexperi-
enced, but he went to the post with
the horse, got him away flying and
put up as good a ride as a veteran
and was beaten only short head for
first money. Goodman then contin-
ued to ride him on his horses and tho
boy made good right from the jump
and was in demand for the remainder
of the meeting.
There have been numerous other
cases OF the best riders being held in
the background waiting for an oppor-
tunity to get a chance to show what
they could really do. Among the
most notable cases were those of
Walter Miller and Grover Cleveland
Fuller. Both of these boys were the
premier Jockeys of their day. Mil
Ter was In the employ of Jim Nc
Laughlin and was discharged for in
competency. That was before he
was given chance in a race He
knocked aboIt from pillar to post
and finally Iames Fitzsimmors got
hold of him and gave him an oppor-
tunity to ride. The. boy vent to the
front like a flash and soon was the
leading rider In America.
He held his post for several years.
The case OF Fuller is quite similar
He was in the employ of Jack Keene,
but he liked the bright lights too well
and Keene got rid of him. He had
hard time to. land a position. but
along came Archie thinner and took
him up, thinner had a few selling
platers around Chicago at the time
and Fuller rode many horses and won
nearly all the big stakes for a number
of years"

CROSS COUNTRY RACE OFF.
Intercollegiate Championship Will
Not Be Held This Year.

New York, Oct. 12.-The intercol-
legiate cross-country championship
run to have been held at Van Cort-
landt Park, this city, on November
%, has been cancelled. This action
was taken by the advisory board Of
the /. c. A. A. A. A. after a canvass
of the leading colleges of the East.
At majority of the institutions the
athletic associations have temporar-
lily suspended activities, and the
presidents of the colleges in reply
ing to the communications stated
that there was little possibility Of
teams or individual runners COM
peting in the cross-country race.
The advisory board thereupon de-
cided to abandon the race. taking
such action in place of the execu-
tive committee, the members Of
which are widely distributed in the
service, both at home and abroad
The annual meeting of the /. C. A.
A. A. A. scheduled for March will
be held, however, to review the
many plans for the reconstruction Of
college athletics which must be con-
sidered for the period following the
close of the war.

BOXERS SHOULD

California Battler at Front
Wonders Why Others Are
Not in Line.

Little Johnny Schiff. the former
California featherweight star, who
served for a year and a half with
the Canadian and then the Ameri-
can army in France until he was
invalided home. is back with the
Yankees at the front-this time
with the ambulance corps in Italy
.'ohnny has taken part in more than
30 battles in the ring, but he says
this is the longest scrap he ever
got into and he is going to stay un-
til the finish. Writing from the
front in Italy to Tom Andrews. the
Milwaukee boxing authority, Johnny
gives the following interesting dope:
Just received your news of the
Fulton-Dempsey fight and IT was
like getting a Christmas present
even II Frederick did lose in short
order. Gee, the gang just ate up
the news. My section here has been
shot to pieces owing to military ac-
tivities, but a few of US are still to-
gether OF Section 600. We expect
to be assigned to another section.
1.-TWO of the ambulance boys had
taps sounded for the last time the
past week. The Italians gave the
boys a wonderful military funeral
of the most famous cemeteries in
Italy.
Just heard from some OF the boys
here that Mike O'Dowd is in France.
He is a real boxer. Do you remem-
ber Steve Ketchel, the Chicago light
weight. who used to fight around
Chicago and Milwaukee? Well. he is
in France with a base hospital unit
and has been given sergeant, first
class. stripes. which is great for
Steve.
"Our boys have been doing wonder
full work here and in France and ev-
cry time the Italians see them they
howl themselves hoarse with 'Hurrah
for the Americana I often wish TO
be back in the good old States. hui
could not face my friends until my
bit has been done in helping to lick
the Kaiser.
why do so many OF the boxers
join the 'slackers' retreat or the
naval reserves? Many of the French
and British boxers are serving at the
front and a number Of Yanks. like
Mike O'Dowd. but the boys here are
sure sore at many of them who are
seeking safe spots in the shipyards
and other places at home.
while many of the boxers are
making a good name for the padded
mitt game they could do still more for
the sport IL they were over here
doing their bit.
Just saw some Of the airplanes
passing over to the front lines and,
believe me, these boys are doing real
work It is wonderful to see them
v
MANY prisoners have been taken
here and those ! have talked with
seem tickled to death almost to be
able to get something to eat.
1--WE expect to have some boxing
matches here shortly. The italians
like the game and are very apt
pupils"

But Heisman Is sanguine he win be
able to develop from his few veterans
and a gootily number of newcomers
an eleven that will uphold the honor
Of Tech this autumn. HeIsman has
few equals in developing green ma

at Georgia Tech. Already he has his
cicNSH "Othihb Win siuOOtn pfcSis-
ion and by the middle of the month
1t should be at the top of its stride.
There is every indication, too. that
Tech will hold its place at the top
among Southern collegiate elevens.
All other colleges have suffered as
has Tech as a result Of the war. and
most of them have been less fortu-
nate than the Golden Tornado in hav-
ing new men and substitutes.
The football outlook at Brown is
exceedingly bright despite the late
start. Robinson and Hahn. the
coaches have at their disposal a
large squad of candidates, among
whom are some very promising play
ers. 1t is not unlikely that Brown
may have one of the most formid-
able elevens in the East, despite lis
early handicaps. Perhaps the most
promising player on the squad at tn"
present is George Johnston, who fol-
merly played tackle at Hamilton In

KID LEAGUERS
NOT DESIRED
Major Circuit Baseball with
Boys Under Eighteen
: Is Not Wanted.

In December the two big leagues
mold their annual meetings. There
is not much to be accomplished at
the pow-wows this year, for with
baseball lying dormant probably for
the duration of the war, magnates
can hardly do anything until the
great peace is declared on the other
side. The chances of resumption
next year are remote IL the war is
carried into 1919. Most OF the mag
mates are said to have welcomed a
rest and are not desirous of starting
in 1919, no matter should the war
be over by March.
The champions of the nonstart
claim that the game needs a good
long rest, during which time radical
reforms can be made to the game,
then they will be able to restart on
a much firmer and wider basis. But
this is not the unanimous opinion
of the club owners. There are a
few who want to start next season
regardless of the conditions in Eu-
rope. They claim that inasmuch. as
the shipyards, munition plants and
other war industries find time to
have their men play ball on Satur-
days and Sundays there-is no reason
why the major leagues cannot ex-
ist under modified conditions. But
they have failed to state just where
they can get players to complete
the teams Ball players over As or
under Is are not going to pack the
ball parks.
No doubt the 46-year-old boys
could produce a lot OF gray matter
baseball. but their physical activity
would not cause the fans to roar
with enthusiasm. The youngsters
under Is would have plenty of pep
and the enthusiasm of youth, but
schoolboy baseball Is not the nee
essary tonic a baseball follower Of
years standing cares to take as a
daily dose. especially after he has
paid from so cents up to get into
the park. II baseball Is to go next
year 1t will all depend upon what
transpires over there between now
and January 1.
